The life of a mechanism of any kind depends very largely on how it is used. Speed is one great item of ex- pense, for tire wear mounts up in a larger proportion than the speed itself, while the extra vibration and road shaking occasioned by high-speed country work tends to crystalline ma terials. loosen bolts, break wire con nections and in general to appreciate the car at a much greater rate than if slow speeds only are attempted.

Automobile tires deteriorate almost as fast when not in use under ordi- nary conditions. as they do from com mon wear or use. Carrying the tire where the exhaust gases reach the rubber is one of the overlooked causes of tire depreciation.

HELPS THE PARTIALLY DEAF
Scientists Have Brought Forward .
New Telephone Receiver Which
AecomplIshes Great Things.

Tiny telephone receivers, about the
size of bean, and hence small enough
to be slipped into the ear, have proved
to be successful in practical tests. The
scientists who invented the device be.
lieve that 1t has great future possibili'
ties In practical telephony, as q sub
stitute for the comparatively bulky
receiver of the standard telephones
but It is quite likely that its first prac-
teal use will be in instruments used
to improve the hearing Of persons who
are partially deaf. The little bean
must, Of course, be connected with
wires: but these can easily be placed
in q fine cord, so that the only visible
appearance OF such receiver at the
ear would be an inconspicuous cord.
The receivers are very simple. A
tiny piece OF platinum wire 10 con
nected with the ordinary telephone
wire, and, though this platinum wire 10
90 thin that II cannot be clearly seen
without q microscope, 1t catches the
electric current that comes through
the telephone wires. and heats up and
cools on Iapidly in accordance with
the strength of the currents. This
heating and cooling starts sound
waves in the air around the wire. This
idea Of starting sound waves BY heat
lie an old story for scientists. OF course
the sound caused by the heat y very
slight and hardly audible In the open
air. 1t was discovered. however. that
II q little cap is placed over the wire
making q little chamber in which 1t
can operate. and a hole left in the cap,
q very satisfactory volume of sound
will come from the hole. So, with the
bean tucked into the ear. the tele'
phone message can be heard very well.
Tests before the Royal society In
London brought the opinion from cleo
trical engineers that for telephoning
over short distances, at least, the
sound was actually clearer than in
