 The picture is simple enough The light of a star travelling in a straight line, is def1ected by the sun. The light travels straight from it's new angle to the eye of the observer. The star seems to be where it is not. This phe- nomenon is familiar enough in the minds of those who use mir TOTS. and it's principle may be observed on any billiard table. Around this simple fact the pie ture revolves. The other ex- amples and Illustrations employ ed are quite as simple as this one.
  Please note that most of the great inventions are marked with extreme simplicity. In essence, the steam engine. the telephone, the telegraph and wireless are simple mechanisns. It would be difficult to think of a mechan- ism which is simpler than the aeropIane wings. The engine which drives them and the pro- peller which is operated by the engine are clements each simple in itself. The difficult thing is to find the natural laws which govern the mechanism. This done, the rest Is easy.
 MT. Lloyd George finds him self involved in certain complex ities arising out of two simple elements. He agreed to write war memoirs. and sold the rights to various syndicates for sums approxima ting $4OO, 900. After this he began the publication of a series of articles

It has not been good for the mark to reach its low point. It would be much worse if the mark should suddenly rise to a very high point Suppose the millions of marks purchased for half a cent or so should suddenly become O claim on German goods at 20 cents the mark: what g. catas- trophe that would be
 
 Comes a further extension of life to the internal combustion engine used for driving motor vehicles. A Paris inventor has built a semi-Diesel type engine which uses fuel oil. worth 12 cents a gallon. Regular gasoline over there is worth 56 cents a gallon. The engine in operation Is represented as being practical and satisfactory. The supply of heavy fuel oil is great The Diesel type engine is extensively used in industrial service and for the great engines which drive ships. Its application to auto mobile service presents no great mechanical difficulties.
