PETRoGRAD CITY or MISERY
incident Recorded by Maxim Gorky
Reveals FrightfuI Conditions in
the Great Russian Capital.

Maxim Gorky has written several
sketches of human interest bearing on
events in the Russian revolution,
which appear in recent number OF
the Suddeutschen Monatshefte. Among
them the following adventure of a
young woman in the streets of Petro-
grad late at night, written in Gorky's
characteristic style:
A young woman tells me:
II was with my sick sister until late
and left her at midnight to go home,
just when all the lights in the streets
were extingulshed. The streets were
dark and ghostly figures stood in
doorways-one could not tell whether
they were watchmen or robbers. AS

heavy steps behind me. looked
around fearfully. A man, in military
uniform, slender and with pale face
and hollow eyes. was following me.

night?' said. All stores and shops
are closed. Come with me and will

have some bread"
"He shook his head.
"'No,' he said sadly, i cannot do
that; want no one ever to know

back.

Canadians and the Arctic.

vilhjalmur Stefansson is Canadian
Icelander. He is of tsubarctic descent,
born in Manitoba. His name does not
appear in the exploration records of
any who's Who" published in Can
ada. He is known to most people as
the man who discovered the blond
Eskimos. But this was the least
achievement says the Canadian Cou-
rier. What Stefansson and Captain
Bernier, Canadians, have done most
Of all is to demonstrate that Canada
has an independent original claim to
the fruits of exploration in her own
share of the arctic. Canada has the
worlds record for arctic coast line.
Russia and Scandinavia have all that
Canada has not. Canada's right of
eminent domain in the arctic is
marked by the British flag; and if his
advice is followed by the government
trade may follow the flag, even in the
arctic. When we come to commercial
izing the muskox the Peace River val
ley will have become the middle of
Canada.

If You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why

curative value almost sells itself, as like

recommended by those who have been

The City Engineer
BY DEL B. DAVIS


When it is desired to make con-
nection with a public sewer or drain,
or to repair the same, and the con-
nection or repair necessitates max
ing an excavation in a public side
walk, street or alley. application
should be made to the City Engineers
Office for a permit to do so. The To-
cation Of the openings in all the pub
lie sewers are on record there, any of
which is obtainable on request.
Those wishing to make connection
or to repair any private sewer where
by it becomes necessary to dig in a
public street or alley, must have the
work done by a person possessing a
plumbers license. The cost of the
license is $500 for the term of one
year. AlthO it is termed plumber
license, any person with no special
qualifications, has an equal right to
obtain one and do work under it, by
simply making the required paymen,
Of $500 to the City Controller.
All private sewer connections ir
streets and alleys are inspected by
the City authorities before they are
covered up, but the city has no direct
! jurisdiction over that part of the sew
er laid on private property. No doub
there would be much less stoppage
and repairs made to private sewers il
some official inspection was made o.

revolve fast. causing a quick suction,
and a quick movement of the mix
ture, thus not giving the gas a chance
to condense.
Not only that, but because of the
friction between the previously con-
densed gas and the fast moving air,
the condensed gasolene, which is on
the manifold, will be made to u'avel
in the direction of the cylinders and
so get into them, where, the tempera-
ture being high from the former eX-
plosion, it will vaporiZe again
To enrich the mixture when start
ing, sometimes the carburetor is
flooded by holding down the float,
but perhaps more often much of the
air is choked off by means of choke
valve. This valve is operated by a
wire fastened to rod or lever, either
on the instrument board or steering
column, when a self starter is fur
uished, or by A wire which passes
through the radiator and terminates
in a small ring or hook, when the en-
CINE is cranked by hand.
The auxiliary valve is adjusted for
the low speed and will open so as to
give pretty near the right mixtures
for the higher speeds but because of
the variations in the spring materials,
etc, the mixture will not always be
exactly right for the higher speeds.
1t may be too rich or too weak.
For this reason most carburetors,
in addition to a low speed adjustment,
have a high speed adjustment. In
some this is done by having an extra
spring in connection with the auxiliary
valve while others have way to
moe the nozzle needle with the throt-
tie lever. Different makes of carbu-
retors will be studied at a later date.
All carburetor makers try to have
the spray as fine as possible, as the
nearer to a mist it leaves the nozzle
the quicker it will change to the gas
eous state.
We saw in a previous lesson that
the volume of the gasoline sprayed
would decrease as the opening is made
smaller. We also saw that it would
increase as the vacuum in increased
Thus if we could increase the vacuum
we could make the hole smaller, and
still get the same amount of gas, and
have it finer. To increase the vacuum
at the nozzle, what is known as a
Ventura Tube, G, is often built into
the carburetor.
Suction in Carburetor.
Have you ever stood on a railway
platform and noticed the suction of d
fast train as it rushes past. This sue
ton is an indication that there is a
vacuum Immediately behind the train
If the train instead of rushing through
the air, stood still, and the air rushed
past, there would be the same vacuum
behind the last car.
The same thing happens in the
carburetor, as you will note that you
could regard the nozzle as the train
of cars AS the air rushes past the
nozzle it will take the course shown
by the dotted lines, and there will be

Thus you will notice that there is

For the information of those who
are contemplating the construction
of a private sewer drain and are not
familiar with the details of the work,
the following rules are convenient to
keep in mind
Secure sound, vitrified pipe. which
are free from cracks and blisters,
and which when struck a light blow
with a hammer will give forth a clear
ring. Cracks in sewer pipe are very
easily detected in this way
Use sewer tile Of six inch diameter
for all main drains, as pipe of any
smaller size, although being often
used, are more liable to stop up and
give trouble.
See that the grade Of the sewer is
not less than a inch to each foot or
~ inch fall to each tile, also that the
grade is uniform and the line of
pipe has no depressions in it.
Cement Joints Well.
To see that the joints are we'll &C.

ference and that swab is used to
clean the inside of each joint before
another is laid. Tree roots are the
most common and deadly enemy of
sewer drains. To prevent the entrance
or roots requires careful and skillful
work on the part of the workmen The
use of oakum in connection with &C.
ment often prevents the entrance of
roots but when it is known that a
drain Is to be laid close to where trees
are growing, the only safe method is
to use iron soil pipe, in fact their use
is very strongly recommended when
drains are laid under sidewalks or
cutters where shade trees are present
In case the private sewer connects
with city sewer which carries storm
water and in time of heavy food is
liable to back into the basement. it
is best to have installed an approved
back-valve in the line to prevent the
flooding Of the basement
In case drains become stopped. the
stoppage is often removed if enough
pressure of water is put behind it,
| although this seldom relieves. the
trouble If roots are the cause. In such
I cases 1T becomes necessary to dig up
the sewer and remove the s.oppage.
The name "tenderloin" was oripi

that of the engines suction. Of
course the faster the air travels the
greater will be this vacuum. This is
one reason why the mixture gets
richer with the higher engin speed
requiring the auxiliary air valve.
Now, if we could increase the speed
of the air as it passes the nozzle, the
