Usually it slides down to the bottom, where it is practically impossible to reach it, unless one takes off • he transmission cover, which is a long ob. Many mechanics try to prevent such mishaps by tying a length of cord or wire to the tools, but this makes it rather unhandy to use them. A better method is to stuff a rag beween t gesrs and the case so that all open ] . < ’ ' : m’ the tools cannot I la' —h ’ 1 I

Gasoline Produced fcom Plants to Be Grown on "Ofl Farm" Following has aanouDocuMUt tihst '<e has successfully produced gasofine for auuunobileß from various kinds of plants, a French scientist baa proposed that a tnict of 500^)00 acres of land in western Africa be devoted to the cultivation of this vegetation for the production of 90,000.000 gallons of petroleum annually. His process is based on the fact that artificial petroleum can be manufactured from certain so-called “ether salts,” and these are found in a broom plant and in other fibrous and textile vegetation. Gasoline is next obtained in the ordinary manner, which, the professor asserts, is •‘exactly like that produced in Pennsylvania and equally good for use in motors.” Utilization of the fibrous by-products of the vegetation , on the proposed "oil farm” in the silk ’ i industry and in paper mills, is sea- ! sible, he claims, and wi’l afford an additional source of revenue. ;* * ♦ Firdess Locomotive Run by Steam । Charged with water and live steam t at a boiler plant before it is started on its tasks, a fireless switching locomotive that needs no tender and makes no smoke has been tested successfully. It is said to run two or three , hours without recharging, a process it hat requires about twenty minutes, j PO-PIHh _ Pn । ■ Economy is claimed in operating as no fireman is needed and the expense ! of cleaning smoke from the walls of I adjacent buildings is saved.
