THE niffarential

Fellow l know. was driving his
car one day when there came an in
SiStent knock from somewhere be-
hind him. Usually those knocks de-
velop in the engine, and have more
possible causes than fat mans
wheeZe.
This fellow limped his car home
expecting it to fall to pieces under
Him any minute.
Then he got out his wrenches and
Started tracing the trouble. He To-
Gated it somewhere in the depths
of the transmission and performed
a bit of Vivisection which exposed
several broken teeth on the trans
mission ring.
Now while he had the rc-r end of
his bus elevated on a pair of jacks
and the engine chug-chugging, he
discovered one back wheel would turn
while the other stood still.
Queer" says he, and he tried it
some more. He got the whole works
out and concluded something was
loose He hammered and pounded
around till suddenly it dawned on
him that if he were making a short
turn, sort of pivoting on one back
wheel, that wheel had got to almost
stand still while the other ran around
it.
Now the differential is a contriv-
ance which shifts the power through
a set of heTal gears, to the wheel

ever since it was the property of Eu-
ropean kings.
But the question that agitates the
netghbors of the McLeans up around
Friendship is how the Mclean heir
will be guarded from some such fate
as his brother met
Little John and his younger broth
err, Edward B., three years old, have
been guarded also, but never to the
extent that Vinson was. For you see
they were not the first-born, and
their value in the way of prospective
ransom was not so great to llidnap-
ers. Not that parents loved them
less, but as long as Vinson- was alive
there was smaller possibility of dam
ger. to them.
Now, it's different Half a dozen
hired guards failed to save the life
of Vinson Mclean. Assassins and
kidnapers the guards kept away, but
they couldn't keep away the boyish
desire of this hundred million dollar
boy, pampereG and petted since
babyhood, to play in the street like
the dollarless boys of the neighbour
hood.
What scheme will the wealthy Nc
Leans evolve now to suppress the
boyishness of their new heir?

TaaI Volcano Is Smallest
Active One in the World

The Taal volcano in the Philip
pines, is probably the smallest active
volcano in the world. 1t is never
in very violent or destructive opera
ton, but is constantly in mild erup
ton, and scientists are puzzled to
know what keeps the volcano in con-
tinual activity. Usually VOLCANOES
have violent eruption once in a
great while, and then simmer down
to Quietude, but at the little Taal
mountain there are no lava indica-
lions to show that there has been a

hundreds and hundreds of years.

Post, 1nc.)
WASHINGTON, May 26.-Recogn1-
ton Of the Kolchak government in
Siberia as the de facto government
of all Russia is in prospect. Great
Britain and France are getting ready
to extend recognition and the United
States seems certain to follow suit
Recently Ambassador Morris went
from Toxic to Siberia and made
comprehensive report on the Kolchak
government. He has received orders
from President Wilson at Paris to
make another trip which will be
sometime in June. The United
States is in reality seeking informa-
ton as to the character and purposes
of the Kolchak government, but the
data received thus far has made a
very favorable impression.
Our government has never had any
doubt as to the liberal views of Ad-
miral Kolchak himself, but has been
puzzled over the presence in his cab
met of men regarded in Russia as
reactionary. These men were elimi-
mated by a coup d etat recently and
Kolchak has surrounded himself with
men who favor the principles of the
revolution as proclaimed when the
car was oVerthroWn. The kolchak
government is military but can be
accorded recognition on the same
basis that the Carranza government
was given recognition in Mexico.
RECOGNITION REPORTED
BY REUTERS AGENCY
PARIS, May 26.-The council Of
four of the peace conference has
decided conditionally to recognize the
anti-BolSheviki governments of Ad-
miral Kolchak and General Denikine,
according to Reuters agency here.
The conditions for the recognition
are that. regarding the future, OF
Russia, these governments agree to
genuine constituent assembly; like
wise that the League of Nations
covenant and it's consequences as
affecting the boundaries of the for
mer empire are accepted.
The constituent assembly, is to de-
termine the future form of govern
ment for Russia.
The policy adopted, it is added
will enable the allies to recognize and
assist any force in Russia co-operat-
ing in the struggle against soviet
rule, because such recognition will
be in force only until such time as
the constituent assembly decides upon
the permanent form of government.
The regional governments will then
expire automatically.
The allies will not furnish Admiral
Kolchak and General Denikine with
arms, munitions, money and food on
a larger scale than hitherto. 1t is
stipulated there will be no inter-
ference with the races of non-Rus-
sian states recently erected from old
Russian territory.
