Rcpsirinu a 8uckl-d Ship.

Tn the great explosion at Halifax the British ship Curaca had her back broken When the vessel was re- foated it was found that she was buckled to the extent of nine feet two inches at the bow and six feet six inches at the stern. In that condition. says the Scientific American, she was temporarily repaired and brought to New York, where she was put in dry dock, and the water was pumped out until she touched the keel blocks amid ships Next. the plating on both sides of the ship was cut at the point where the vessel had buckled, and more wa ter was pumped out. until both eEds settled gently down upon the keel blocks and the vessel was once more straight The task of joining the two parts was comparatively simple.

 The announcement of coast guard authorities that the U. $. c. G. cutter Bear probably never will sail into the North again marks sharp turn in the history of one of the most famous adventure ships flying the American flag
 After more than two-score years of battling with ice foes and arctic gales, the Bear is under orders to make San Diego her base and serve as a training ship for coast guard recruits.
 Since the Bear. in charge of Com modore Schley, later admiral, rescued the seven survivors of the Greeley arc Ss devoted to service in the northern seas with the navy, tho frontier rev enue service and in recent years ss part of the coast guard fleet She was built in Scotland In 1874 as whsisr and seaier. d

 Natives, teachers. missionaries, traders and marines In the North have for generation regarded the annual cruise of the Bear as routine part Of their existence.
 Not a season has passed-lnciuding the present one-that the Bear has not saved lives by imperative operations performed in her sick bay, by the res- cue of maroOned or shipwrecked crews or by landing provisions to the inhab- itRnts of isolated shores.

Record of Sunshine.

!. R. Kincer of the weather bureau has just published In the Monthly Weather Review valuable analysis of the available sunshine records of this country He presents charts and graphs showing for all parts of the United States the mean solar time of sunrise and sunset, the average length Of the day sunrise to sunset, for differ ent seasons of the year; the average for each month in the year, of the daily amounts ot sunshine, In hours the sea sonal and annual amounts in percent age of the maximum possible; the yearly percentage of clear. partly cloudy and cloudy days. Data of this character Is comparatively scarce, for the reason that the instruments re- Quired to make these records are very delicate and require expert attention. A great deal of meteorological observs- tion work Is done by amateurs or vol unteers who are not equipped with the necessary apparatus for accurately re- cording the periods of sunshine.

Reforestina the Plains.

In the state of Nebraska there are twenty thousand square miles of coun- try that is absolutely treeless. The soil Is nothing but sand on which no plant grows except a long grass that Is good for grazing.
 Anciently, perhaps seven million years ago. the area in question was part of the floor of sea. Hence, of course. the sand. But within compara- lively recent times the region must have been forested for here and there are discovered stumps of trees as much as two feet Tn diameter
 Discovery of these old stumps led the United States forest service to be- lieve that trees might be made to grow there again. Accordingly. the experiment was begun about eighteen years ago, and, as :, result, about five thousand acres of young forest have been successfully established Some of the trees today are ss much as twenty-five feet high.
 The trees planted in this area are all of them of coniferous varieties jack pine Norway pine and yellow pine. At HaIsey. Neb., is maintained s nursery, which produces two million of these little trees each year.
 For planting them, novel method is adopted. Instead of setting each little tree in hole by Itself, a blow fs run along through the sand, and the baby trees are planted in a row in the furrOw.

 To make good sum of money his son has confessed to embedding, Tam uses a fund entrusted to him by Susie.

REQ SPEED WAGONS
IN NOTABLE PARADE
Little Old Bus, Vintage OF 1905,
Leads Its Big Brothers

One OF the most remarkable
parades held recently In Los Angeles
was that given by the REQ Motor Car
Company Of California. according to
adviccs received by ]. r. Trew OF
the Trew Motor Company.
the vintage of 1905, with two sales
men made up as old time farmers"
with flowing whiskers, corn cob
pipes and the proper atmosphere, the
parade left the REQ branch at 2
o'clock.
Seventy-four REQ speed wagons,
representing q score OF the city's most
prominent business organizations,
took part in the parade-which. by
the way, probably required shorter
time to pass a given point than any
other parade in the history OF the
city.
One firm alone entered twenty
seven REQ speed wagons OF its total
Of fifty In constant service-the Peer
less Laundry. The Crown Stage Line
entered two OF their big passenger
carrying buses, one, their first, with
total mileage Of 100000 and thu
other Just out of the paint shop and
entering service.
These two last carried the band,
furnished by Hollywood Post No. ~
of the American Legion. The marine
corps, speed wagon, Rover" was
present with the necessary personnel,
while manufacturers, tire dealers, de.
partment stores, 1ewelry firms and
many others had at least one OF their
fleet in the parade.
1t was a colorful display, for manv
of the speed wagons were fitted with
special bodies and tops, bearing the
insignia or the advertising slogans OF
their owner-firms. The sidewalks
down Broadway were lined with the
usual Saturday crowd and these all
gathered at the curb to watch the
cars go by.
At first there was some discussion
among the spectators as to why the
psrade?" But the continuous passing
Of speed wagons finally gave them the

which the speed wagons went by, as

TUARC WHEELS
Cier Steel Plant Has Machines
So Easy Of Control They Can

Gently cracking an egg on the same
monster 1,000-ton press that stamps
out a steel automobile wheel, is one
of the amazing feats performed for the
favored visitor at the Gier Pressed
Steel Plant of the Motor Wheel Cor
poration.
1t is a striking demonstration OF
the methods necessary to produce
Gier Tuarc steel wheels, whose UNIQUE
appearance arouses many INQUIRIES
says c. IL. Warrington, Genral Mana
ger of the Warrington AutomotiVe
Equipment Co., local distributors OF
the Gier Tuarc Wheels.
The measured squeeze OF 1,0l5
tons delivered by some Of the largest
stamping presses I'm the country is not
so remarkable, however, as the work
ing out of the wonderfully accurate
stamping dies which produce the Tuarc
double curve, the felloe and shoulder
that takes a standard demountable
rim, and the hub support which takes
the same standard hub as that OF amy
car which is to be fitted with Tuarc
wheels.
One great advantage claimed for the
wheel stamping method is that 1t pro-
duces a remarkably smooth painting
surface, entirely free from the usual
machine marks.
In developing these unusual steel
wheel building methods 1t seems the
