NOTES {.

What takes up the driving strain
OF your car when you stop and start
your automobile?"
''Iou no doubt have thought OF
your motor car as Just moving along
without any particular force beiag
exerted between the driving axle and
the rest OF the car The fact is that
the power necessary in driving al
automobile rlust be transmitted In
some manner or form from the rea'
axle to the bulk of the car. Wh,n
you consider the rear axle as unit.
and that II generates two power fore
es, then II la instantly appreciated
that provision must be made for
them' says the Kimbali Garage. loca!

Is the first OF these forces; the other
is the twisting of the car upon the

Old Peach Tree in
Phantom Canon

D. y. Cooper. while returning from
an auto trip to Cripple Creek last
sunday afternoon. had his attention
attracted to peach tree growing
among the rocks high up on the cliffs
of Phantom canon, about two and one
half miles this side OF McCourt sta
ton on the old Florence & Cripple
Creek railroad The appearance of
such tree at that place aroused Mr..
Cooper's curiosity. and he stopped
his car and climbed up the walls of
the canon. some 300 feet above the
roadway. to make an Investigation OF
the matter.
He found the tree to be at least 80
seet in height AMI computed its age
at about so years In the opinion OF
Mr.. Cooper the tree was the result
of a peach, stone dropped by some
mining prospector In the early days
of the gold excitement in Teller coun'
", before the building of the railroad.
Mr. Cooper picked couple OF small
reaches from its branches and has
brought them to Canon City. They
xsre placed in The Record office dis
play window this morning. Their di.
minutive size seems TO indicate that
the tree by its long isolation and ne
: ect is reverting to the original spe-
cies Of such fruit.
