what Makos a Car oId.

The life of the bearings of a car de termines the usefulness of the entire machine. A car with badly worn bear ings is an old car, even though 1t may have travelled less than 10000 miles, whereas one which has seen 100000 miles of use and still has its bearings in good condition is, comparatively speaking. a new machine.
 Wear on bearings Is determined by four conditions-the load which that bearing carries, the speed at which the bearing surfaces move over each other. the nature of those surfaces and their ability to resist wear and the lubriea- ton which these surfaces receive and its ability to prevent the formation of the destructive heat of friction.
 The matter of load becomes a mat ter of size, for with a given load 1t is but natural that with a large surface over which to distribute the pressure the load on each square inch of bear ing surface will be less. This means that the life of bearings will, in gen. eral. be in proportion to their size Leslie's Weekly.

Esnsntials of Soma Voice.

Many good singers only think their songs. These fall short of the powers they might attain. The listeners hear the music, but they are not thrilled.
 Other singers have feeling, but they fail to display will. Their voices nec- essarily lack fiber and are too soft and sentimental. Such singing suggests merely passive sympathy and not the desire to help actively.
 Good, honest sentiment and the ring of good will, implying action, are want ed in good music. There is no appeal in the song voice that only wills. The voice of authority and domination is not pleasing. The essentials of the song voice embrace all the singers powers, faculties and attributes. They include not only will, but also thought and feeling, and that voice is lacking which fails to combine all three of these elements.-Exchange.

In. cnhhaa. Butterfly.

The most destructive enemy of the cabbage and related crops is the cab bage butterfly. This lays its eggs upon a cabbage leaf. The eggs hatch into green caterpilRrs, and these eat the leaves. In 1883, says the Journal of Heredity, an iehneumOn fly was im- ported from Europe to keep the cab bage butterfly in check. The fly lays its eggs fin the body of the caterpillar; the larvae which hatch from these eggs eat the caterpillar's insides, cut their way out through the empty skin and spin eOcoons from which the files emerge.
 "It is interesting to note," adds the Journal of Heredity, "that the parasite is in turn preyed upon by a super parasite, a little ehalcis fly, and so on down ad inflnitum,' no doubt"

While China and Japan take rice with ehopstieks, Korea eats hers with a spoon Prediction is that the next step will usher in the broad fork. Whence comes this peculiarity?" asks the Korea Magazine. 'One reason is that in the Analects of Confucius a rec ord exists that the master ate his mill let not with chopsticks, but with a spoon.
