The occasional use of the hand brake, besides being On long drives; however, the "Niceâ€" Steerer" will rest himself by changing bis position as much as possible with safety. One arm on the door, the other hand firmly on the wheel near the centre, is safe. Both hands at the top or both hands at the bottom of the wheel is restful, but your control is greatly weakened. Authorities agree that the safest and sanest grip on the wheel is one hand above the other, one palm up, the other down. This grip provides the greatest leverage on the wheel with the least exertion. And all of the nccessary exponents of safe drivâ€" ingâ€"hand brake, horn, throttle, etc.â€" are within easy reach. Country driving, although not necâ€" essitating such constant alertness on the part of the driver, nevertheless demands constant exercise of every point of good driving. The first thing to be learned for comfortable touring Or longâ€"distance driving is a safe method of relaxation. ekidding. The only skid that can be «ontrolied absolutely is the skid that does not start. Slow, even turns and slow, even stops and starts will avoid wki‘s. Never apply the brake sudâ€" denly and never disengage the clutch until you have almost come to a stop. On icy pavements you sho#ld never attempt to drive without tire chains. Also by keeping the windshiel¢ clean you will do away with much of the possibility of skids, caused by the necâ€" essity of suddenly applying the brake. Can You Park? Probably not more than one driver out of ten can efficiently and properly park his car. The one best method of: parking in a limited space is to pull up | parallel to the car behind which you! are going to park and awbout one foot away from it. Turn the front wheels) sharply toward the curb and back slowly until you see that by swinging| the front wheeis hard over to the left| your right front fender will just clear the left rear fender of the car ahead of you. Then turn the wheels fully to| the left and back to proper position at | the curb. Once you know positions at which extreme turns are to be made you should be able to park your car In one backward movement. | Even in avoiding bumps, ruts and track crossing, do not move the steerâ€" ing wheel too far or too suddenly, for In doing so you imperil your own car as well as all ne‘ghboring cars. As long as both front wheeis or both rear wheels do not hit the obstacle at the same time, the results are not bad. In geiting out of streetâ€"car tracks or pruts the wheels should be flipped quickly to one side and then quickly to the other, thereby scraping tt.e; tires as little as possible and keeping| complete control at the same time Skidding. Skidding is probably one of the most common causes of automobils accidents. Yet, if the driver is earo-l ful, he should have no trouble from Always avoid sharp turns either to the right or to the left. When moving out from the curb or when swinging into the curb, do so slowly and gradâ€" off to the right at the noxt several streets. The traffic lanes at the rightâ€"hand side of the street are for ears which plan to park or make a turn to the right in the next block or Then when they are ready to turn, # they hold out their le‘t hand, maâ€" chines behind them can keep on going, as they turn off to the left. In this connection, remember that the traiffic Ianes near the centre of the strect are fa_r ears that are not planning to turn behind him. In making a leftâ€"anand turn many drivers seem to think that they have to pull away over to the rightâ€"hand side of the street just as they are awbout to turn across the traffic into their leftâ€"hand street. They would save much confusion to the machines behind them if half a Mock before they are to turn to the right they would get into the extreme leftâ€"hand lane of traffic. EXPERTS ADVICE ON PART II. (Concluded from last week.) When turning to the left or stopâ€" ping, however, it is absolutely essenâ€" tiol that the driver signal the machire worth of damage. The operation was successful. The force of the exploston broke the colâ€" umn of flame and quenched a fire that threatened to do railllons of dollars After an examination, an expert deâ€" termined to blow out the flames just as one blows out a match. But in this case the draught was to bo provided by an explosion of a hundredweigkt of dynamite. Attempts were made to get it under control, and whilst they were in proâ€" gress a crowbar striking against a stone made a spark which ignited the rushing, roaring column of gas. Next instant the whole ocilfield was lit up by a blaze that could be seen for many miles. Every well in the neighborhood was in danger. Even more violent methods woere used recontly to extinguish an oil gusher which had burst into flames. A new well was being sunk in the midâ€" dle of & great oilfield. _ As the drill broke through the final layer a column of gas and ofl shot 150 ft. into the air. t« flames, having nothing to burn, died out. When London‘s great blaze was ragâ€" Ing three centurics ago King Charles himself superinteonded operations. He saw that the only way of stopping the fire was to make gaps which the flames could not cross.

Many nocturnal creatures â€" owls and bats, for instanceâ€"have aimost lost the power of sceeing by day. They have developed eyes with widelyâ€"openâ€" in the dark, and gradualiy their useâ€" less eyes grow smalior and smailer, until finally they disappeared aitoâ€" gether. Great birds such as the ostrich and the emu still have wings, but they are so small that they will nct serve for flight All of theso birds live on the plaing, where speed of foot was found to be more advantageous than the power to fiy. They ceased to use their wings, and Nature gradually reâ€" duced their size. The ostrich of tuni thousand years hence will probably have no wings at all. l We have lost many of the qualities that our primitive forefathers possessâ€" ed; they could move their ears, grasp things with their toes, and track down their quarry by means of their nasey as dogs do. Thess powers were no longer needed when man became civilâ€" ized, and Nature took thom away.

But If even for & short time her gifts are allowed to go unused, she is very quick to take them back again, in their cells, as though they all wers wearing bells; and in their dungeons bleak and grey they sprung their tuneless "Day by day." And when the night was growing dark I made a journey through the park; the wind was cold and rain and sicet fell on the vags on every seat; they shivered in the bitter breeze, and drew their rags around their knees, and chanted the‘ir sepulchral lay, "We‘re getting betier every day." This slogan, wonrderful and new, has swept the country like the fiu; one hears it everyâ€" where he walks, and scos it painted on the rocks. I greatly hope that every jay who breathes his hopeful "Day by day" will live to see his hopes come true, and find himself as good as now. Oh, by suggestion may we ditch our corns and wens and barber‘s itch, dissolve the spavine on our knees, and bid farewell to all disease! "Day by day," my neighbors say, "we‘re getting better, every way," I hear them in the wind and rain, thby‘re chanting still this glad refrain; I‘d talk with them of vital things, of upset thrones and castâ€"off kings, of income taxes we must pay, but they send forth thaoir "Day by day."

As the plant grows the thread slackens and causes a connection between the batâ€" tery and the pen. The latter drops on to t‘ie drum and makes a mark.
