MAGNITUDE of Russia.

At present the Russian empire en-
compasses ~ degrees Of latitude and
no less than 173 degrees Of longitude
that is to say. 1t doubles the extent of
the United States in length and nearly
triples 1t in breadth. The Empire State
of New York could be easily set down
in the S.647.65 square miles of the
Russian empires area 1G5 times, while
Russia. west of the Urals alone, is ten
times the size Of France and thirty
three times the size Of England and
Wales. European Russia takes up
over one-haf Of Europe and Asiatic
Russia over one-third Of all Asia. So
We find Russia occupying more than
one-seventh Of the total land surface
Of the globe.-Geographical Review.

Belt Stretching.

A mistaken belief prevails among
many mechanics that the best belts
are those that have all the stretch
taken out by the maker. To do this
the manufacturer must subject the
leather to stretching process so vio-
lent and severe that all the life Is taken
out Of It, and the belts are robbed Of
what ought to be leading character
istic-dunbility. The belt when driv-
ing machinery is stretched generally.
not suddenly or violently, and for this
reason the stretching Is less injurious
to It than when It goes through the
quick process Of the maker.-Black.

I should like to know the principle Of

The principle Of gear pump is sim
pie, as 1t consists merely Of two gears
rotating within a chamber. The pump
chamber Is SO arranged that the side
Of the two gears coming into mesh are
IN the intake compartment and coming
out Of mesh In the exhaust compart-
ment. The oil is led In and as the
gears come into mesh 1t is picked up in
the clearance space between the teeth
and thrown out on the other side. BY
pressure Of five kilograms it is pre-
sumed that you mean pressure Of five
kilograms per square centimeter. This
Is equivalent to about seventy pounds
per square inch, which is slightly above
the capacity Of the usual gear pump.

A certain quantity Of kerosene can
be mixed with good gasoline and used
In an ordinary carburetor, but to burn

that Organ had the requisite prelimi-
