MAGAZINE Hollow Log Is Wireless Set, of Wild Jungle Tribes Long before the first modem radio set Mine into being the wild South American tribee that live in dense forests and grass oorered plains near the equator, had “wireless” outfits made from the trunks of hollow trees. For years the jungle and tundra have echoed the booming of these huge drums. By means of code systems, each tribal chieftain keeps in touch with his people, ogling his warriors, ordering raids against enemies, warning of maraud ers, or announcing the approach ,of strangers. The sound emitted by one of these instruments which, it is said, can be heard for many miles, is like the di|ll, dis tant boom of a cannon. * * * Flying Fur-Bearing Animal Reported Found Without wings and heavier than air, a ■wdl discovered type of fur-l>carmg ani- SMi, ear bud thht can fly, was reported re- Wsfiy to the French Zoological Society huu the wilds of French Cochin China. :lkHt the size of a eat, the creatures arc i Mid ts rise to a height of several yards by their stomachs until they ap to the King! # # When Babe Ruth completed his first home run at the Polo Grounds in the second inning of the second game of the world -series, the cheers from the stands were so great that the Babe just couldn’t keep tTQfli doffing his cap. .If a ballplayer ever registered “happiness,” he is doing it in this photograph of Ruth* \ 1 SURE AM GLAdTo | / - \ 1 -SEE Nt>U,IHIS BIRO l \ wme borep J , pear like small balloons. Off the ground, they remain either motionless or slowly paddle themselves along ■with their webbed feet, not unlike the flight of a dragon fly. They have bills like ducks. » * « Fighting Fire with Steam Saves Many Oil-Wells In the great oil fields of the West, where the ever-present danger of fire h'aynts the drillers, steam has been found to be one of the most effective means of combating the flames. As a flash of lightning, a spark from a piece of metal, or a lighted match, may start a blaze that will result in the destruction of millions of dollars’ worth of property, ceaseless guard is maintained over the wells. Nevertheless, fires are fre quent, and batteries of steam boilers are kept in readiness to fight them, as water would only aid their spread. Wlieu a gusher turns into a volcano of liquid fire, it is surrounded by a sand embankment to catch the blazing oil; then huge boilers are brought up, and jets of live steam arc turned into the heart, of the flames, slowly smothering them. ...«- PAGE SEVEN Useful Clamp for Stepladder A simple and useful clamp for the step* ladder, that serves as a rest for holding windows while setting the pones or paint* ing, can be made from two pieces of oak about 2]4 ft. long, with a bolt passing through the center of both as shown; ■ wingnut is provided on the bolt. It is apt necessary to remove the wingnut to attack the clamp. Merely push the nlamp ovm one leg of the stepladder from the inridti and then over the other leg, after whiel the wingnut is tightened. This tool cm be used equally well on a common bAH « * * £ Filling Auto Vacuum Tank If a funnel and small gasoline can am at hand, the simplest way to fill the auto mobile vacuum tank is to remove the plug at the top of the tank and pour in thl gasoline. If no funnel is available, tbs best method of filling the tank quickly is a* follows: Close the throttle and dint <5 the ignition, then press the starter switch It may be nceossary, with some starters, ts switch on the ignition for a moment, is order that the starter geaiß may. mesh, The action of the motor will then caur enough suction to draw the gasoline Ins the rear tank into the vacuum tank TV throttlq must be kept closed, as othonrin the engine simply draws most of the ah through the carburetor, and not through the vacuum tank.
