Tanks Carved From Rocks.

! 'on the eastern slope of the Sierra
de Tina jas Atlas, three miles north Of
the boundary line, there is an extern
sive semi circular amphitheater in the
| midst of which is series of curious
reservoirs. Here seven great natural
tanks have been carved from the rocks
in the course of centuries by water
tum bling down narrow gorge during
the rainy season. These tanks have a
capacity of from $1,000 to 10000 gall
, Ions and the water which they catch
! each summer is protected from evap-
GRAFTON by overhanging cliffs.
Some of these tanks can be reached
only after difficult climb. and the
maginative traveller can readily picture
the many Tantalus tragedies which
occurred here during the great gold
PUSHES of the .fifties' and the sixties
Numerous crosses of stone in the vic
unity mark the graves of those perish
ing prospectors who reached the great
reservoirs. but who had not sufficient
reserve strength to scale the rocks and
place their parched lips to the rim of
these giant beakers of life-giving
water.
The heat and dryness of the atmos-
phere in this desert land induce such
profuse perspiration that both men and
horses require an abnormal quantity
of water, the average for men being
seven quarts day and for mules and
horses twenty gallons"

geography bulletin issued by the Ma
tional Geographic Society.
while the water question is serious
one throughout a wide zone on both
banks of the 1lo0-mile Rio Grande
boundary, it is vastly more important
along the 700-mile line extending from
Ell Paso to the Pacific. Throughout
the latter section the average rainfall
does not exceed eight inches a year,
while in some parts of the Yuma des-
ert there have been droughts when the
aggregate rainfall for twelve months
has been less than three-fourths of an
inch.
Throughout this region there are
two so-called rainy seasons, the more
important being that which extends
from the first of July to the middle of
September.
For the next two months our Dor
der soldiers will witness a remarkable
growth of vegetation, the moisture and

Leakage may, and very often does,

whether there is leakage at this
place. When the valve caps are re-
placed after grinding the valves new
gaskets should always be used.

One effect Of the European war

ing TO Nicolas Kouznetzoff, a civil en-
gineer Of Petrograd. Mr. Kouznet-
zoff, who Is president Of the technical
committee of the Automobile club Of
Petrcgrad, is on his second visit to the
United States, where he has been sent
to investigate the farm tractor and
motor truck industry. He was here
lesH than n year ago on his first vlsit,
when he acquainted himself with the
leading automobile factories and re-
ported to his country on the develop
ment OF the industry In this country.
Previous to tho war, little automo-

The next place where leakage liz
liable to occur is at (E) the piston
rings. This may be due to a broken
ring, worn rings, the rings sticking

a scored-that is, scratched -cylin-
der due to the engine becoming over
heated for lack of oil or water, or to
the slots of the rings getting in line.
When the pistons are put into the cyl
inders care must be taken to have the
slots in the rings spaced equal dis
tances apart. Where the rings are
broken or worn they must be re-
placed. 1t is "A good practice to pour
about a half cupful of kerosene into
each cylinder about once week. and
1t is best to do this while the engine
Is warm after completing n run. This
will tend to prevent the rings from
sticking in their grooves. If the
cylinders have been scored you will

A bad leak at the piston ring will
generally indicate itself by a kissing

You can tell whether or not your
engine has lost compression by
cranking 1t slowly and noticing how
much you must pull on the crank
handle. To tell II there is loss of
compression in one cylinder open all
the compression cocks but one and
feel the compression In the cylinder
having the closed compression cock.
Please notice that there is no one
place through which the compression
can leak from all four cylinders, the
places OF leakage being separate for
each cylinder. For this reason should
your engine be running well and then
suddenly stop, you instantly can elm
mate loss of compression as posi-
