The lecture was very much enjoy ed by all flotarians and at the conclusion was followed by several questions from members.

The President, the Hon. Mr. S. W. Tgo, welcomed the following guests, Mr. D. J. Lewis, Mr. T. G. Stakes, Mr. C. C. Blake, Mr. A. Geraudal, and Mr. Hong Sling The President also introduced the speaker and expressed the, Club's appreciation of his address last! Tuesday.

shown by the use of the same ap. paratus that was used in the first demonstration. The members could clearly are the heavy spark in the spark gap.

This brought him to the subject of changing oil and he showed sam ples of oil--first clean oil; next oil that had been used 500 miles; oil that had been used for 1,000 miles; and then oil that had been used 1,200 miles. He asked the members to notice the difference and advised complete change of oil every 1,500
