Cadets Great Ride.

Two hundred and fifty senior cadefa of Victoria, E. C., have recently coDi- pleted l,i0o-mle ride on bicycles. bearing dispatches from the state con- mandant to the minister for defense. The small riders averaged more thaR l4 miles an hour. and they completed their task 6 hours and 23 minutes ahead of schedule. This fine perform ance reused public interest in the new system of cadet training, which has taken the place of the monotonouS drlll-yard evolutions. Australia is training its youngest soldiers iE camaradere. self-Sacrifice, alertness and love Of athletics. The story of the l,4o0-mile ride against uDex- pected obstacles has set Il standard which will not be easily forgotten by the Australian boy. While the dis patch ride has done much to direca attention to a happier system of train ing, il has also served to awaken the interest of fathers and elder brothers.

HONOR SHOULD Bi AMERICA'S
Washington Man Really Was the Frsf to Demonstrate Possibilities of
 Wireless Teiegraphy.

A dentist living in Washington. D. C.. invented, patented and demon strated wireless teegraphy before Marconi was born. Had 1t not been for the attitude of big newspapers and the stubbornness and lack of vision of congress, this country today would be enjoying the honor. distinction and credit of presenting wireless telegra- phy to the world. The name of this comparatively unknown inventive gen. ius is Mahlon Loomis. Back in the sixties and seventies he eked out ( modest living by plugging molars and making "store" teeth for the politi- cians and social leaders of Washing ton. Doctor Loomis called his discov- cry aerial telegraphy." His first pub lie demonstration was made in 1866 from the two peaks of the Blue Ridge mountains in Virginia, some Is miles apart. From each peak an ordinary kite wa> elevated, connected with aR insulated copper wire attached at the lower end to telegraphing appa~ ratus. The operators of each party were provided with telescopes, with which they could sight from one sta tion to the other and read the signals When all was in readiness a message was sent by the doctor along the wire of his kite, and was received at the station on the other mountain top just as though the two kites had been con nected with wire in the ordinary way. In this manner communications were kept up until the fact was thor oughly demonstrated that telegraphins could he done as readily without as with connecting wires.

 The sergeant saluted. The saluta- ton was intended for Arthurs, but at the moment the pOliceman's eye fell on Beulah. and even the discipline of the force coulu not prevent a momen- tary turning of the head.

 We will bring both of them in at once" said Arthurs. "Beulah, will you call Lilian and your mother. too? They may be needed. But who Is the thfrd?' he continued, turning to Grey.
 "A prisoner. It seems the older man overpowered him. Not let us get this poor fellow in"
 The policeman beckoned and Harris drove the buggy up to the door. Ar thurs glanced at him with casual Good morning." but the next instant his eyes were riveted on the visitor. "John Harris !" he exclaimed taking a great stride forward and extending his long arm. Man, John, I'm glad to see you, but not in these troubles"
 Harris took his hand in silent clasp, and there was warmth in 1t that set his heart beating as it had not for years. "It's hard, Fred" he managed to say in dry voice, but it's good to have you by
 Arthurs bent over Allan, who was half sitting, half lying, in the buggy. His face was sapped and gray in the growing light. Tenderly the three men lifted him out. "Take him straight up stairs" said Arthurs Tt will save moving him again." Both spare rooms in the house were occupied, but Ar thurs led the way into Beulah's, and they laid the wounded boy on the white bed.
 Arthurs heard Beulah in the hall. 'Take off his clothes, Grey" he said, and turned to the doorway. Where's $ your mother. Beulah?" he asked in a low voice. closing the bed room door behind him.

CHAPTER XII.
ConveralnQ TraiIa.

Beulah Harris raised her arms above thin air that flooded through the open window.
 They had been great times-wonder- ful times-these weeks spent in the freedom and harmony of the Arthurs' household. Mir. and Mrs. Arthurs- now called them-had opened their hearts and their home to Beulah from the first. Indeed, the girl was often conscious of their gaze upon her. and at times she would look up quickly and surprise strange, wistful look of they tried very hard to hide from her. They wanted to leave her free to live her own life--to shape her career, for a time at least, wholly in accordance with her impulses.
 The arrival of her mother nt the Ar thurs ranch had brought fresh toy to Beulah's life. She saw the color com ing back 10 the old face. the frame strengthening up little, tue light re- kindling in the eye, the spring return ing to the step. She hau not thought that her mother, after 25 years of un- protesting submission, had still the nerve 10 place a limit on that submis- sion. and the discovery had surprised and delighted her. True, Mary Harris let 1t be known that she was only on a visit and in due course would return to her home but Beuiah knew the die had been cast. and things could never again be quite as they were.
 And then sound caught her ear, and up the trail she saw two men on horseback, a mounted policeman and another. and behind them other men driving in n buggy.
 By intuition Beulah knew that q mishap had occurred. Quickly she drew on her simple clothing and hur ried downstairs. but Arthurs was al- ready at the door. The little party came into the yard, and the policeman rode up te the door. The other horse man sat with his back to tho h0uSs:

 "Yes. But l must see him--I must help"
 Beulah hurried to the room where her mother was rapidly dressing. "A man has been hurt, mother" she said. with suppressed excitement. "We need hot water. Win you start Ire In the ranger
 Mary Harris mistook Beulah's emo ton for natural sympathy over a suf- fering creature. and hurried to the kitchen. Mrs. Arthurs was whispering with her husband in the hall, but rsoment later joined Mary at the range.
 Then Beulah entered the room. The policeman was speaking to Arthurs. T must ga into town now with my prisoner" he was saying. "I will send out doctor at once. and In the mean time know you will do everything possible"
 Beuldh turned her eyes to the bed. A man was lying there, and an old man was sitting beside 1t. At the sec ond glance she recognized him. but in an instant she had herself under con trol. She walked with steady step to the bed and looked for full min ute In her brothers face. Then she locked at her father.

CHAPTER xi-continued.

. Harris told his story with such CO., herence as he could. He and his son had come up into the hills to arrange for the purchase of property which they had become interested in through n third party, Gardiner. They carried with them a large sum of money as proof of the sincerity of their inten- tions. At. this little cabin they were to be joined by Gardiner and by an- other, named Rifles, who also was talk ing an interest in the property. AS they waited in the cabin. and as he, Harris, slept after his long drive, they were suddenly set upon by outlaws. Allan shot one down--the body still lay in the doorway-but was himself badly wounded, and had not spoken since Harris had encountered anoth- CT, but after a severe fight the robber had escaped. The little black bag in which the money was carried was gone with all it's contents AltAough he had waited all night in great anxiety, Gar diner and Riles had failed to appear, and 1t could only be supposed that
  some hours after the assault one of the party had returned, dismounted from his horse at some distance, and stolen softly up to the shanty. Harris had followed him. and. taking him by sur prise, had been able to make him pris- oneS.
 Sergeant Grey looked from Harris to Allan. and then to the prisoner, who seemed to lie in semi-conscious con- dition amid his bonds and gags.
 You were foolish to come into the hills with so much money alone" he said 'I would have been at your service for the asking, and this would not have happened. But now that it has happened. the first thing Is to pro- vide for the wounded man, and the next is 10 place this suspect in GUS tody I know a rancher's house few miles down the valley where you and your son will have the best atten- tion."
 The mounted policeman made brief examination of Allan, as best he could in the gray dawn. for the lantern now had no oil. He has not bled very much.r he said. He has strong frame and ought to have . fighting chance. will just have q look at the scene ot the crime. and then we will move him"
 He made a hurried survey of the cabin. merely satisfying himself that the man in the doorway was quite dead. and then, with Harris assist ance. quickly found the horses and harnessed them to the buggy. He also found another horse near the roadway. saddled and bridled. We will make the prisoner ride his own horse," he said. "while you take your son in the buggy"
 They placed the wounded and still unconscious Allan fin the buggy as gently as they could, and then Grey gave his attention to the prisoner. Having searched his clothing for weap- ons, he cut away the bonds that se- curely held his arms and feet, and re- leased the sack from his half-choked throat. The man writhed and gasped for fresh air, and the policeman drew the sack away and revealed the face of Jim Travers.

Some Glaring Faults.

Now the country is told through q recent leaflet from the National Edu- cational association, these things:
 Educational authorities "who have studied conditions carefully, estimate that of the 600,000 public school teach CTS in the United States, 100000 are under the age of twenty-one; 30,0O0 have no education beyond the eighth grade; 10000 have no education be- yond the third year in high school :: 4S0,000 (4-5 of the totaD have not had two years special training, the minimum recognized standard in other civilized countries; 10000 temporary teachers have not even fulfilled our own low educational requirements"
 All over the United States today there are schools, lyceums, lecture courses and various other means pro newly arrived immigrant. Some mem- bers of congress say that great many American citizens of long descert need Americanization just as much as do some of the immigrants. Education, in their opinion, is necessary for a thorough Americanization, not only of the incoming foreigner, but of the chil- dren of Americans of>long descent.
 Joseph H. Defrees. who is the presi- dent of the United States Chamber of Commerce. said ir Washington re- ,ertly that conditions in our pul.ic schools undoubtedly contribute much to the unrest In this country today. He added that the situation had be- come so serious that 1t no longer cuuld he looked upon as a matter of purely local interest, but should be treated as national issue to be solved through the cooperation of state ana nation

Belgians, Looking
For New Fuel, Find
Palm Oil Adaptable

Belgian engineers have found palm
oil, OF which Belgium has large sup
ply in her Congo dependencies, and
efficient substitute for mineral oils
used in internal combustion engines.
Incentive for the search for sub
stitute is found in the relative prices
of mineral oil and palm oil in Bel
GUM, the former costing S1.4O a gal
Ion and the latter only 20 cents a gal
Ion.
The calorific value of palm oil is
from IS to 80 per cent of mineral OIL
Therefore from one quarter to ono.
third more must be used to attain the
same results.
Tne experiments, as far as they
have gone, show that palm oil works
well in certain types of engines, the
chief difficulty being that in cold
weather palm oil solidifies.
Various accessories have been put
on the market, howeve., whereby the
engine is started on mineral oil and
switched to palm oil after warming
up.
Thus far experiments have been
confined to motor boats and tractor
engines, but engineers are working on
adaptation to the auto engine.

Stearing Gears

The Importance of having the steer
ing gear correctly adjusted cannot be
moderated. There is always more
or less wear on all parts of the steer
ing gear. and connections of some,
which causes slack or play in the
steering wheel, and the front wheels
do not respond quickly enough to give
positive control in case Of an emer-
gency.
The following is quoted by Frank
Thayer, of Lowell from Auto
mobile Digest: IAN endeavor to
keep the steering condition as near
the ideal as possible is often repaid
by increasing the comfort and pleas
ure of driving, not to mention safety.
Beyond such items as the worm and
worm wheel or segment and the joints
of the push and pull and coupling
rods, there is the matter of end play
of the steering column. This is fire.
Quently overlooked, and yet it is oft
en- the cause of quite an appreciate
amount CT lost motion.
Most steering gears have some
provision for adjusting the thrust
bearing or washers of the columns.
Generally this takes the form or a
kind of a gland nut at the top of the
steering gear box and has castella-
lions on its upper (exposed) flanges,
with the slots of which some type of
locking device engages.
'No great force should be applied 10
the nut in endeavoring to take up
slackness, as it applies to ball thrust
race the latter may be submitted. to
an excessive pressure even although
no obvious stiffness be noticed suDse-
quently in the steering. In adjusting
the nut, therefore, it is advisable to
move it to and fro several times, aft
er applying gerosene to the threads
so that the effort required to turn it
may be gagged and the fact Of its
being frightened enough Immediately
realized by the additional pressure
needed to move it when the thrust
race has been properly adjusted
