Of instances that an automobile is called
upon to run continuously for sixty hours.
The way cars are built today, it is not
for a machine to be driven this distance
on a trip, but this is never continuous
running. Stops are made for lunch. din
ner. and rest at night. In cases of this
kind. the machine always has the water
and oil supplies replenished, and in many
cases the spark plugs are cleaned and
minor adjustments made.
Perry Kinyoun, who handles the Allen
car business of the firm of Henderson
and Rowe, is this week running an Allen
stock touring car twenty-four hours a
day for six days. The start was made
Monday morning. and to date the car
has been running continuously for sixty
hours. During the day time the machine
is run about the streets of the city, and
at night the motor is allowed to run idle
on the show room floor. Twenty-one gall
Ions of gasoline have been used, and
three pints of oil put in. No adjust
ments of any kind have been made, and
judging by the way the motor sounded
last night. none will be needed during the
test
While the car is being driven about the
streets during the day, anyone is priv
ileged to hail the driver and request that
he be taken to any part of the city. Quite
a number have availed themselves of
this privilege, and all are enthusiastic
over the manner in which the machine
performs.

Roosevelt. on which Rear-Admiral Peary
explored the Arctic regions, has been or

Not more than once in a lifetime does
the average person get an opportunity to

especially constructed with a view to
withstanding the terrific pressure OF the
ice in the frozen seas. After returning
with the last Peary expedition she was

PUTTING BATS to WORK to SAFEGUARD Your HEALTH

It Is evident that il the hair were a
round shaft 1t would not afford the
protection as do the peculiar lances
and pockets in preventing the mos
quito's proboscis from reaching the
bats skin. This. I believe, is very
important observation, inasmuch as
it entirely harmonizes with the
habits of bats and mosquitoes inhab-
itlng dark places during the day. 1t
is a well-lnown fact that the female
mosquito cannot ovlposlt without
albuminous food, and in obedience to
the memorable laws Of nature this,
insect would resort to the bat to OBJ
tain this albuminous food, and pos
sibly transmit to the bat the disease

screened with fine wire mesh Tens
of thousands of mosquito eggs were
procured and placed in tub OF els
tern water to which there was previ-
ously added some organic matter to
furnish food to the larvae. In the
course of time, thousands Of mos
Quitoes Matched out, and these were
fed by placing two turkeys and two
old fat hens in the room until all the
mosquitoes Matched out.
AT night, after the mosquitoes had
developed into adult insects, the buz.
zing noise could be plainly heard sew
cral feet from the room. On one &C.
casion entered the room with a dark
ened electric flash light and liberated
two bats. Instantly the buzzing noise
ceased, and on turning on the light
observed that the mosquitoes we're
clinring to the walls and motionless.
On taking the bats out of the room,
in less than three minutes the bu2-
Zins noise was resumed. This eX-
pertinent was afterwards repeated
several times with the same results.
Bats have a sclective instinct Tor
finding the cngorged mosquito, &C.
cording TO evidence furnished by
chemistry The character and ar
rangement of the teeth OF bats show
them to be distinctly carniyorous,
