Use for Gyroscope.

Very successful, it appears, have
been the experiments which for some
years have been made with form
of the gyroscope, which is intended
to correct errors; of the mariners
compass and, in certain cases, such as,
for instance, in submarine boats, to
replace the compass. The apparatus
in one case is based upon the ten
dency Of a gyroscope to retain its
axis Of rotation in fixed position. If
the axis is set to correspond with the
course of the ship any change in the
direction is Immediately shown by
the rotation of II rose" or compass
card, within which the gyroscope is
suspended. Deviations of the mag
netic compass nre detected by the in
strument. With the aid of an cleo
tromasnet attachment the apparatus
can be caused to act either as mag
netic compass or as a gyroscope, in

loss and still the engine may continue
to run fairly well, according to the
ideas Of an amateur driver.
Try the Crank.
If an engine is not running we'll and
compression loss is suspected, the
simplest way to detect 1t is to use the
crank and turn the engine over by
hand, and thus feel the compression
on each individual cylinder. You will
nearly always find that some pistons
will go over compression much easier
than others, and this means that some
where there is leak In this cylinder.
The number of miles which car
should run without having the valves
reground varies greatly, depending on
oiling and other engine conditions.
With the average car under normal
running conditions, however, 1t is
probably wise to have the valves
ground at least once every 5000 to
10000 miles, depending on the operat-
ing condition Of the motor.

FAULTY COMPRESSION BLAMED
Dlsarranqed Motor May Appear to

ours When Car 10 Being Run

Thousands of gallons of gasoline are
wasted every day by motorists be-
cause of the inefficient operation Of
their engines.
An important detail to watch to
keep the engine running efficiently is
the compression. A motor with faulty
compression may appear to run fairly
well when driving the car at reason
able speed or when 1t Is working hard.
Lost compression shows up when the
car is being driven at comparatively
low speed.
How to Tell II.
Under either Of these conditions the
engine will run with an irregularity
that makes the car jerk or jump in
stead of running steadily, as 1t should.
This indicates that there is consider
able loss Of power and that much
more gasoline has to be burned than
when the engine is developing its full
power.
In fact, gasoline mileage may be cut
nearly In half through compression
