and, after all, reliability, is the essential requirement. Criticism is sometimes made against the Crossley Engine that it is too robust, and that by reducing the amount of metal and workmanship put into it the price could be reduced. Over half a century's experience has proved that cheapuess at the expense of reliability is false economy.

Users of Crumley Gas Engines and Plants know the value of their reliability-particularly in these countries where skilled labour is not available and spare parts have to be obtained from home.

DISASTROUS STORMS IN AMERICA.

New York, Feb. 5

T entire eastern part of the United States is in the grip of a snowstorin, accompanied by a north easterly gale, which is tying up railways and interrupting tele- graphic and telephonic communication. A high tide caused floods in many coast resorts. Hundreds of bungalows o be ches were washed away and the foundations of many valuable hotel propertics damaged.

New York, Feb. 6.

The storm has abuted, but the seas are still high. There is muca damage to sapping. The Old Dominion Haer Princess Anne went aground on Rockaway Beach, Long Island. A lifeboat tried to go to her assistance but the attempt was abandoned owing to the giant sea rollers.

New York, Feb. 7.

The Princess Anne remains hard aground. She is listing to starboard, pounded by the heavy seas. The res- cuing vessels are unable to reach her. It is hoped, if the sex calms, to remove the remainder of the breeches buoys. Snow continued to fall last evening and crew by the dislocation of the city traffic is more acute than ever. Railways and roadways are buried in snow and vehicular traffic is almost impossible. There is a lack of snow shovellers, the men demanding a dollar an hour.

Several more small hotels on the Rockaway coast have been washed away by the sea; also several bath- houses and boarding houses or Coney Island.

Between 28th and 31st January General Denikin's troops on this front captured nine guns, 260 machine guns and four thousand prisoners. The Bolsheviks occupied the isth- muses of Perekop and Chongar leading to the Crimea after heavy fighting but were, repulsed before the de- files losing six hundred prisoners. The Bolsheviks con- tinue to advance in the Odessa area.
