Inspect the Valves.

IT Is a good time to examine the
valves while the cylinder head is re-
moved. They may not be bad. but
there is almost sure to be some car"
bon in the ports, on the valve stems
and perhaps under the valve seats
proper. If. when a valve is removed,
il is noticed to have a broad. bright.
smooth valve seat, with no pits or
dark areas on it., grinding would do
IN" valve more harm than good. The
polish a valve seat receives when the
engine is running is great deal nner
than we can give it with the finest
grinding compound. and for this rea-
son it is wise not to grind waves
until il is really needed. The exhaust
valves are most likely to be In neeo
of this treatment because they are
always in the midst Of terribly not
gases whenever the engine Is IN
operation. Lack of space forbids us

every trace of grinding compound be

All it requires is the application OF

the way of, first a thorough cleansinS
and a few other attentions, which We
shall enumerate now.

flushed out clean and the petcocks

Color as a Shield.

MORE than half = century ago
-'A scientists predicted that 1t would
be found that brilliantly colored and
conspicuous caterpillars were not
among the favorite foods Of birds. al
though dull-looking caterpillars are
devoured by them with great avidity.
Various observations and experiments
since then have tended to confirm this
conclusion.
The idea was that the bright colors
of certain caterpillaTs are the result
of natural selection. the caterpillars
which originally possessed such coll
ors having also possessed some pc.
culiarity, such as the secretion Of
acrid juices. which rendered them
distasteful to birds. AS the conspicu.
ously marked caterpillars were thus
let alone by their enemies. they tend
ed to increase at the expense Of their
less brilliantly colored relatives.
Experiments have shown that birds
actually do avoid the bright-colored
caterpulars as . rule. And this seems
almost to have become q second ma
ture, for a jackdaw, which had been
raised in captivity and had had no
experience in Judging the edible
qualities of caterpillars. was observed
to regard the brilliant caterpillar Of
the hSure-of-eight moth with sus-

eagerly devoured dull. plain cate.pil-
lars placed within its reach. When 1t
was driven BY hunger to attack the
other. It finally refused to eat It Civ.
ing plain evidence that there was
something distasteful about the prey.
Thus. according to the theory. na-
ture has provided a warning, ex-
pressed by color. which serves a dou-
BILE purpose. since it both protects
the caterpillar possessing it from at
tack. and also saves the bird which
sees it from the disagreeable conse-
ouence Of seizing prey that Is not
suited to it1 tastA

Take OF Cylinder Head.

The cylinder head should now be
removed and the carbon cleaned from
the piston heads and inside Of the
explosion chamber. During this
operation carbon should be carefully
handled The water-jacket holes and
threaded stud holes. if any, should b be
closed with a bit of waste. While
scraping carbon from the piston
heads great care should be taken to
prevent bits of gritty carbon from

cylinder wall and the piston. To pre-
vent this 1t is best to move the crank
so as to bring the piston being
cleaned to upper dead center before
commencing to scrape the carbon
loose. When it has all been removed,
turn the crank SO as to move the pls,
