Years afterward. however, the Protest.
ant missionary at Moorea received a
letter from a priest in Chile enclos-
ing an outline drawing easily recog-
nized as the outline of the mountain
peaks about Opunohy Bay in Moorea
asking for information of the location
of the island SO represented. and stat
ing that he had knowledge of a treas
ufe buried there. The missionary hav-
ing visions or ungodly adventurers
corrupting his flock decided to tear
up the letter and drawing without dis
patching the answer.
Nothing more was heard of the af
fair until a month ago when a stranger
arrived in the island bearing charts
and drawings which. he claimed
would lead him to the treasure.
Reports from Moorea state that, at
the place indicated on mis- chart, on
digging down, he came upon con-
crete slab and great was the excite
ment until the slab was broken thru
and a cavity. about three feet in depth
was disclosed containing absolutely

CAUSE OF BACKFIRING
w. B. asks: Why does my-enSlne
hackfire into the carburetor. when 1t
is first started and also when I be-
gin to give it gas after coasting down
a long hill? Is it because the carbu-
rotor feeds too much gas?
ANSWER: Your carburetor is of the
compound-jet type and is in-adjust-
able except for idling speeds. Unless
you are using the hot air supply for
the carburetor, this is the probable
cause of your trouble.
Dirt collected in the small passages
within the carburetor or a too lean
adjustment of the idling regulation
screw may also account for the diff
ficulty. When very heavy fuel is used.
it sometimes becomes necessary to in
stall larger main-jet in this carbure-
tor. From what you say 1t appears
that too little. rather than too much
gasoline is being fed, or that there Is
not enough heat to do the .vaporizing.

They generally crept into the blankets
and when the sleeper moved and hurt

nearly always carries the germs Of

there was germ that caused rabies,
but everyone of them that spent much
time in the cold sections, was warned
and had wholesome respect for Mr..
Skunk and his fatal bite, with its
accompaniment Of terrible agony be-
fore death. The most difficult aspect
Of the danger was that it was almost
impossible to protect ones self from it
because sleeping place tight enough
to keep the little animals out was
never found in those days, and the
skunk rarely made his presence
known because OF his slow movements
and quiet ways, till the damage was

LEAKY SPARK-PLUG CORES
Porcelain of Improved Qualities Is
Much To Be Desired.
1t Is u common belief that the core
insulation of spark-plug is service
able until it becomes broken, but this
is not d fact for it is often found
that the porcelains of plugs that have
been in strenuous service for some
time, while intact mechanically speak
ing, are defective electrically and per-
NIT leakage of the ignition current,
which by seriously lowering the volt
age, reduces the energy in the sparks
and the effectiveness of the explosions
produced. This electrical leakage is
probably an important factor in as-
gravating starting difficulties, when
weak fuel mixtures usually prevail and
an energetic spark is especially neces-
sary. Just what causes plug cores to
leak current is not fully understood,
but 1t is known that most grades of
porcelain lose their insulating quail
ties when sufficiently heated, that eN-
pansion and contraction, under tenn
perature changes, seem to break down
the structure of the material and that
IN case OF carbon particles penetrate
the glaze and enter the porcelain, it
becomes conductive and leaky. The
short life of spark Plugs in aviation
and racing engines brings out very
strikingly their shortcomings, which
are evident in motor car practice in a
much less acute way. 1t is likely that
many obscure starting and operative
difficulties could be traced to defective
plug insulation and when such diff
cultIes arise It Is often wise to replace
the plugs and thus eliminate one posi-

STARTING GEARS DON'T

W. B. writes: Once in a while, the
screw pinlon of my automatic starter
drive. fails to unmesn from the fly
wheel gear and I have to force them
out of engagement by hand. What Is
the cause and remedy of this?
ANSWER: The trouble generally IS
that the starting motor has moved
slightly on its mounting, enough to
impair the alignment or the pinion and
gear. with the result that they go into
engagement so that the teeth jam or
cramp. The starter motor shaft and
the crankshaft should be parallel and

MrssoULA SEEING GHOSTS

Missoula.- Residents of Missoula
are wondering whether the famous
Fish creek ghost has again made it's
appearance.
For several days there has been a
persistent rumor about the streets
that several residents of Missoula
have seen the apparition that so start
led the community several years ago.
At that time it was claimed that
the ghost inhabited a cabin on Fish
creek and that it was seen by many.
Searching parties returned and ad-
mitted that they were mystified. It
was a nine days wonder then, but
the ghost seemingly ceased opera
tions and Missoula lost interest in
specter that wasn't On the job all of
the time.
