The success of this, the tech exhibition of its kind sugars well for the future As an additional attraction, every visitor to the Balon received a numbered ticket entitling him to participate in a draw for a hundred or so prizes, ranging from a motor car to a pair outat.

Some recent comments of our own find interesting amplification in the following ex- treats from reriow in the Japan Chronicle moralists and founders of religion, The fundamental arror of most

They did not so that, Nature without her man aust submit to the same laws as the rest of the universe, and that consequently we mast, like all other creatures, follow the path indicted by Nature.

Regarding the problem of good and evil, the author holds that the conscience of man, which" is generally regarded as a standard, is a very unreliable guide in this respect. The morals of the rich are not those of the poor, those of the looks deep into his heart, will he find a law! wank are not those of the powerful.

"THE PHONNIK LIGHT CAR. As stated in a previous letter, I intend each week to describe one or other of the smaller and lower priced vara, for which there is a demands the East as indicated by several kindly crita correspondents. It will therefore be up to them," if these descriptions tend to technically, of which I kare already been warned by a ling suffering editor. Here, then, is the Phomis 8 h.p. two cylinder light car. It is designed to carry two persons and luggage, and is fully espable of doing it anywhere at any time, and at any pace up to, or beyond the, legal linit. It is a motor var vilent to a degree that one only expects to find in the larger and higher priced cars, and its reliability and economy in maintenance are further recommendatione The following is a completa description of the car and its essential features. The engine is 8 b.p., twin cylinder, water-cooled Fafair, th cylinders being side by side, and having a vari. able lift to the inlet valves, and with self-adjust ing wipe contact. The clutch is a multiple plate clutchranning in oil, sweetandsmooth in itsaction and absolutely deficits. The frictional area of the plates far exceeds that of a cone clutch of twice the size. From this clutch the drive is taken up by Hans Renold's chain to the change-speed and revers gear which rans on a ball bearing shaft. The top speed is direct and the gears are always in meet. The top gear is controlled by metal to metal clutch, and when this is engaged the whole of the mechanism is at rest and the Four booomes a ball bearing exmater shaft. The low and reversSO

gear's are controlled by bands, oogaging metal te metal on the drum of the gear. From the change-speed gear the drive is taken up by a second chain to the diferential gear of the back axle. The differential or balance gear of the spur gear type, the standard practice on all high class cars. The back axlo is of 1 inch Chrome Vanadium steel, and the whole ie double girder stayed. The steering is goared and practically irreversible. There is entire absence of back lush. The method of changing the gear is arranged in such a manner that it is impossible to do any damage to the geurs since the necessary changes are obtained entirály by friction, and one gear cannot be changed without the other being automatically released. The reverse gear is applied by a centre foot pedal. The frame is of "tubalar construction, best waldiaz steel tubing of heavy gauge being used throughout It is strongly stayed, and both front and back Axles are supported on blade steel springs, Radius rods to the back axle provide the Becessary chain adjustment: The brakes to the front wheels are internal metal to metal expand ing operated by foot pedal and a patent com pensating movement. The brake to the back wheel, operated by side lever, is metal to metal on differential gear deum, and is constructed to hold the ear not only firmly in the forward dirsation, bat to hold it with equal power in a backward direction as well.
