LOOK OVER CARS CAREFULLY
David Harum Had Nothing on the Men
Who Make Practice of Selling
Second-Hand Autos.
Many dozens of places are now oper
ating second-hand motor car busi
nesses, and while some of them are
quite reliable, It Is still a sad fact that
“faking” cars Is a common occurrence,
observes the Scientific American.
One purchaser of a so-called rebuilt
car in New York paid S2OO for a ma
chine which is no longer built It was
guaranteed to be in running order, and
worked fairly well on the way home,
a distance of ten miles. The follow
ing morning he was unable to crank
the car, and upon removing the cylin
ders he discovered a very unique hard
wood piston iu the front cylinder. The
car being out of date, the dealer had
been unable to obtain n piston for It,
and had improvised one. The oil and
heat of the cylinder combined to warp
the wood and inuke the motor stick.
The wood hud evidently been treated
with some heat-resisting compound, as
the charring on the surface which hud
been exposed to the heat of combus
tion was not severe.
In another case, a purchaser of a
second-hand runabout detected a most
peculiar noise In his timing geurs,
which In thut model were mounted on
tiie front of the engine. Removal of
the gear case revealed the fact that
the gears had been packed in heavy
grease in which was mixed chopped
cork and suwdust. The bearings of
the gears were badly worn and the im
perfect meshing which resulted made
them very noisy. The cork and suw
dust effected u temporary remedy.
A third purchaser of the “running
order” gamble found that after he hud
driven his car a dozen miles, three
leaks develop'd in the cylinder cast
ing. in tiie pun he found three pieces
of dried chewing gum that exactly fit
ted the holes.
Among some of the other features
of such “bargains” are cast iron ball
hearings, papier-mache radiator, hose
covered with aluminum paint, steel
breaker points in magneto instead of
platinum, window glass in wind
shield, and cracks in crank case filled
with putty painted over. In view of
all this, who can wonder what has be
come of the good old-fashioned horse
trader?
Custom Had Origin in Plague.
For many centuries plague was a
menace to all Europe. At intervals
it would spread like wildfire, wiping
out whole populations. In its ordi
nary, or “bubonic,” manifestation, It
depended for its .distribution upon
rats, But after a while it was liable
to assume the "pneumonic” form, at
tacking the lungs.
in this form the malady spreads
with frightful rupldlty. The plague
genus are in tiie air. People acquire
the Infection by breathing. The uf
fllcted scatter the germs by coughing
and sneezing.
it will be understood, then, how
it came about that people, centuries
ago, adopted tiie precaution of shield
ing the mouth by turning away tiie
head when coughing, sneezing, or
yawning. Today we continue to do
the same thing, for the sake of polite
ness; but in reality the custom is a
survival of the days when the common
prevalence of plague made it a neces
sity.
Not to Be Caught.
“1 think children are not so observ
! lug as they used to be,” said a member
1 of the school board to u teacher whose
class he was visiting.
“1 hadn't noticed it,” said the teach
er.
"I’ll prove it to you,” said the school
officer, pompously. Turning to the
class, ho said:
“Someone give me a number.”
"Thirty-seven,” said a little girl,
eagerly.
lie wrote “73” on the board. Noth
lag wus said.
“Well, someone else give me a num
ber."
“Fifty-seven,” said another child.
“lie wrote '7s' and smiled knowingly
at the teacher when nothing was said.
He called for a third number, und fair

said:

change that.”—Harper’s Magazine.
White Eskimos.
Vllhjaltnur Stcfunsson is having a
difficult time with his “blond Eski
mos" and by this time doubtless
wishes that they were more brunette
and ordinary. They hold up his men
: ami rob them of everything removable,
and utterly decline to consider the ex
plorers a superior race. Yet when
they are visited by an epidemic of In
tluensa they attribute their misfor
tunes to the witchcraft of the
! strangers.
Hitherto newly discovered peoples
have been greatly Impressed by the
white skins of the discoverers. The civ
ilized races of Peru und Mexico re
spected the complexion of the Span
iards as much ns they feared their
firearms. A pallid physiognomy is one
of the greatest assets of the white man
w ho penetrates to regions where white
skins ure unknown.
