GAS CHECK
KTOW simple each isl

- "" SlL1plc edcu Is
IL l. That incandescent globe over
your head-yet man had mastered
electricity for years before he knew a
charged wire in vacuum would give
such brilliancy. That differential on
your rear auto axIe-yet rear axles
were denominations before genius
eQuallzed turning speeds by a riplet
gear OF utter simplicity.
Life is full of mechanical miracles.
We take them for granted.
Gas-checks belong to the Glass; After
four years of war every one knows
what gas-check is. Fits in the gun,
you know, to prevent bareback or
leakage Of powder gas on firing.
Breech-plug is just a round chunk
Of steel threaded to screw into the
guns back end after loading. It is
pierced by a small hole in its center.
Mushroom stem fits into this hole.
It really looks like q mushroom just
big enough to enter the gun. When
explosion rocks the earth and SOurS
Mrs. Jones milk ten miles away the
rear. The mushrooms face filling the
breech gets an equal and opposite boot.
Gases do the bOoting. Fiery, furious
masses of gases, rending heaven and
earth asunder to escape. It's the heat
of their passionate desire that gives
the shell its kick. We're there any
other avenue of escape never would
they bother with a half-ton shell.
So breech mustobe sealed tight. Be-
tween mushroom and plug Is put pad
of IS per cent asbestos and 35 per
cent tallow worked up into solid cir
cular form. Volcanic pressure upon
mushroom face sQueezes the pad
against the plug. In helpless agony
its edges protrude. They squash
against the gun tube and check effectu-
ally escape Of gas. Hence, gas-check
pad.
But that is common knowledge. The
interesting point is historical. Naval
guns stuck over the side. To load
them muzzle-ways running-in was once
necessary. But running-in took time.
SO our worthy forbears built breech
leaders. Whiskers were then in vogue.
Alas, the cruelty Of warI Breech load
ers worked to beat the band. But the
very first broadside scorched side
burns, goatees, mOustachios, and chin
ners," from their proud owners chins
and cheeks.
Gases did 1t. Gases that leaked
through the unsealed breeches.
In consequence breech-loaders were
pronounced failures. So powerful is
fashion. And for years and years our
whiskered man-o'-warsman feared
them.
Until the simple expedient of gas
check came. But isn't it the irony of
fate that one sees SmoOth-faced sail
ors now? The great discovery came
too late.
Too late for whiskers, yes.

Mack Taylor had an experience with
a new kind of thief Sunday. The man
drove up to Mack's> filling station,
took aboard tank full of gasoline
and scooted without paying Tor it. The
man at the station had the number of

ed it in a few blocks, as he has not
been found. 1t would be a good idea
for our gas dealers to make strangers

Coal From Leaves, Bark and Frults

After an exhaustive study Of large
number Of coal seams, James Lomax,
an English mineraIOgist, says he has
come to the conclusion that almost all
had their origin in vegetable matter
grown and deposited on the spot where
it now rested, the coal substance being
formed chiefly by the droppings of
leaves, twigs, bark and fruits. in the
shape of seeds and fructiferous cones
mainly from large trees. There had
also been, especially in the lower parts
Of coal beds, the remains Of plants
much smaller in size and lower in the
scale of organization, various kinds Of
mOsslike plants, all Of which combined
to form a humus in which the plants
much more highly organized could
exist and deyelop.-IndianapO News
