/ load conditions. Any excess OF fuel
above this ratio is absolute waste.
The temperature or dryness of the
mixture affects these air-fuel ratios
required for high power or eff
cheney.
To definitely establish the requi-
site values for the various perform
ance conditions long series of tests
have been made by the engineering
experiment station of Purdue Uni
versity. These tests covered a Pc
riod of over two years and all re-
suits carefully checked.
Before definitely determining
these mixture valIks, the tempera-
ture where good performance could
be attained must first be solved. To
obtain a complete dry mixture, an
inlet air temperature OF $50 degrees
F. Is necessary. An inlet air tenn
perature of 160 degrees F. or 100
degrees F. mixture temperature is
sufficient. The dryness OF the mix
ture is evidently such at this point
that on compression in the cylin-
der. the fuel is sufficiently vapor-
lied and mixed with the air, that
rapid burning results.
Exhaust temperature tests have
shown that the burning and expan-
sion of the gases are complete as
possible at exhaust for any one
valve timing. A mixture tempera-
ture of 100 degrees F. even though II
Is not completely dry will give a
smooth running engine and only a
small loss of power. Added heat
will dry the mixture but Will cause
an excessive loss of power. If it is
possible to obtain a dry mixture at
a low temperature. then one ideal
is achieved. Dry mixtures are easier
to distribute than wet ones as each
cylinder tends to draw more nearly
Its share of the charge.
Good performance is essential
before trying to determine the
necessary mixture. Suppose a cold
mixture was used. for example, a.

Why Villa Is Contented.

Francisco villa is to have more land
added to his already large ranch, or
collection of ranches. He is to have a
slice off the San Isidro ranch in Chi
huahua and another slice off Earl Sal
vador ranch in Durango. These are
to be divided up among the men who
have remained with villa since his old
fighting days. These he has trained to
be as good farmers as they were
fighters; and the proposal now is to
give each man who has shown intelli-
gence and ability to take care Of him
self small farm Of his own. All
these farms will be under the control
Of villa, just as the land previously
conceded to him is directly under his
management, although he has more
than 500 men on Canutillo ranch. The
proposed addition to Villas ranch
contains several thousand acres

How Desert Conditions Arise.

Desert conditions arise In any re.
gion in which the rainfall is markedly
less than the amount of water that
evaporates from the surface. AS the
amount Of evaporation naturally in
creases from the polar regions toward
the tropics and is affected by winds
and elevation, 1t follows that no arbi.
trary amount of rainfall may be desig.
mated as an invariable cause or &C.
compartment Of arid or desert condi-
lions.
Thus In certain portions Of the trop-
les rainfall less than 20 inches re-
suits in aridity, while some of the
most fertile agricultural districts in
the north and south temperate zones
receive scarcely one-third this amount,

HOW:
EARTH'S MOTION MAY BE

HOVE
EARTH'S MOTION MAY BE
DEMONSTRATED IN HOME.
With O bowl of water and some
powdered resin one may observe
the earth's motion. Select a
room that Is fairly free from VI
bratiOn. Then obtain good
sized bowl or tub foot or more
in diameter and rather deep, and
nearly fill II with water. Place
this on the floor of the room in
such a position that II need not
be disturbed for some hours. Get
some finely-pOwdered resin and
sprinkle q coating of this on the
water. Any fine substance that
would float and not be dissolved
for some hours would do as well.
Next secure a little coal dust
and sprinkle some on the top Of
the resin in a straight line from
the center to the circumference.
Carry this line I'D over the rim
Of the bowl. and make ii broad
enough TO be clearly seen-say
about an inch In width. The bowl
NAV now be left for several
hours. at the end of which time
Il will be noticed that an inter
esting thing has happened. 1t
will be seen, writes s. Leonard
Basin In the Scientific Ameri-
can, that the line of the surface
OF the water has changed its pO-
sition and that IL no longer
meets that which runs up over
the rim of the bowl. AS a mat
ter of fact the black line on the
surface of the water has swept
around from east to west.
What has happened is this:
The water In the bowl has stood
still throughout the time which
II has been left, while the vessel
itself has been carried around
by the motion Of the earth from
west TO east. Another way Of
putting 1t Is that the earth has
swung around through a consid-
cradle arc from west to east,
leaving the water quite station
airy.
