AirpIane Forest Patrol.

The forest service is talking already of using airplanes to patrol forests and give timely warning of fires. This is but one of the services to which the plane will be put following peace. That big American army of aviation will not be content to remain on terra irma after its vivid experiences in the air under the most trying conditions. It will create a demand for air service ; and the wonderful improvements brought about through the exigencies of war will be turned to peaceful pur- suits.-Rocky Mountain News.

Rabbits.

The question that has long agitated the Australians, how to relieve the ranch country of the pest of rabbits, is in way to be answered now that the British government has ordered ship ments i4 great quantities, presumably for rabbit pie, or stew, or something of that nd-delicacies that hunters like to tell us about, but which seem to lose their enticing flavor when pre-, pared in the environment of the do. nestle kitchen.

Finoino Broken Wire

It Is a difficult matter to locate a broken wire in an ignition cable, un- less one knows how. Here is how: Draw each Individual wire out some where along the cable. Hold a con- pass within half-inch of the wire. If the current is flowing through the wire, the compass will be defected from its normal position in one way or the other. A broken wire will have no effect on the instrument, which thereby acts as a detective.
