The Bobolink, writes Wm. H.

summer resident from 5t. John River and tributaries south- ward. It is noticed in our 1916 list as a Rare Visitor, but has been seen several times in the central and southern parts of the Pro- vince. The present writer has seen the male Bobolink on two occasions. In that he was_ luckier than Francis Baln, who, wrote, (1891): "The Bobollulr is a rare bird with us. Lest nunmer we saw one on a sunny meadow on the banks of the Ellis River. At first he tried to hide his strong- ly marked coat of black an white among the growing grass, ‘but failing in ‘this was away in his strong flight to the toplof a pop- lar. then, without uttering smote. was gone from us forever."

All writers agree that the Bebo- llnks haunt the hayfields, and this is for a very good reason. They make their nests in hollows asaong the grass and feed their young with insects, particularly those caterpillars which feed on the clover. In the early nesting days the male mounts guard on a nearby bush and,cxpresses him- self in a merry rollicking song. “A wild, sweet, rippling repetition of his name with many additional trills and ‘shakes? (Road's Bird Guide). By the time the hay is cut the males lose their black and white plumage and become yellow- ish brown. resembling the fe- males and young birds in appear- ance. The birds" then form small flocks. feeding on the seeds of rush-like plants (and wild rice. if available) till the first frosts warn them to migrate. In the rice-growing States (North Caro- lina and others); Bobolipks used to cause great damage to the crop. and became known as "rice- birds". However, that title belongs to a past era. for the great rice industry of the South Atlantic coastal country no longer exists.

The Bobolink male reverses the natural order of things. for it is white above and black below! Here are details:—

AOUT

I had b so accustomed to. referring birds to their AOU num- ber that it was a mild surprise when a friend asked what the cryptic letters "stood for?" “They are the initials oi the American Ornithological Union, which pub- lishes a check list of birds. each Species having a number prefix- ed." Many bird-books use these numbers, so that much time is saved when making cross-refer- ences; for instance. if in consult- lﬂ! Dr. Taverner’s “Birds of East- ern Canada" I turn up (AOU) 494, there is the Bobolinki Many auth- ors, I am sorry to say, do not use these numbers, neither do they follow the same sequence of bird- groups. The Union is to issue a new edition - the fifth — of its check-list shortly.

AN ATMOSPHERIC ENGINE

When the miner opens the door _of the “cage” and makes his way into the “workingsﬂ he probably does not reflect that he is defy- ing those ancient elements “earth, air, fire, and water", each of which may bring disaster. Water, how- ever, was made infinitely less dangerous by the invention of the steam-engine and the pump, in the eighteenth century.

Something over sixty years ago I was told of an atmospheric en- gine at. a certain colliery (mine), about 3 miles from where I was staying. I was further told that it pumped the water out of the mine, and had been doing so for the best part of a century. I de- termined to see it. though that mean-t a six-mile walk. (There were no cars then, and no North- umbrian farmer ever kept a driv- ing horse: he was too thrifty for that! Hence anything up to ten miles was just “a decent walk.")

Well. l reached the Colliery. and the Overman took me to inspect the engine. It was merely a sin- gle vertical cylinder about size of a hogshead. of heavy cast iron. The cylinder was open at the top and contained a piston furnished with a long upright piston-rod geared to the pumping machinery. This was a beam. hinged in the middle to uprights to produce a “teetering" movement; to the other end of the beam was gear- ed the pump-rod. running down the shaft to the pump. Steam from the boiler was admitted to the cylinder. below the piston. It ex- panded, lifted the piston. piston- rod, and the near end of Ifne beam. The other end fell, causing the pump-rod to make a down stroke. Then s fine spray of cold ureter was injected into the cylinder. con- densing the steam and producing a vacuum. Nature doesn‘t like vacuums, and with a pressure of l5 lbs. on every square inch of the piston. drove It down to the bottom of the cylinder with a mighty thump! This of course pull- ed the pump-rod up. completinl the stroke. It was. I thought. the simplest pumping apparatus I'd evcr seen. Why didn't the piston knock the bottom of the cylinder out? In answer the Overman said that a considerable quantity of lead had been put on the bottom. to break the shock. How long had It been working? He did not know. but he recollected watch- ing it as a youngster. Some said it was onehundred we!!! Old Ind perhaps it was. ‘After thanking him for his courtesy in explain- ing these matters. i set out on my "three miles bsc ." ‘

The piston was about 2 feet across. and every squire Ind! 0f its area supported an atmospheric pressure of l5 lbs. approximately. This gives a pressure of 81-4 tons on the nlsfnn. l think -- but fig- uro it yourself.

in a recent Note ‘l wrote of the coming gas turbine for automo- biles. and indicated that‘ it was a simpler machine with fewer parts. A gas turbine needs no cooling gvgtem, no sear-shifts. and no con- tinuous ignition system. The gas turbine for autos weighs but 250 lbw, yet will deliver I00 h.p.i

it is within my own memory there were reloicings when one horse-power was supplied by every 4 lbs. of engine: for previously the ratio was l to ‘l6. The turbine makes it l to 1.5. a most impres- sive. reduction.

The gas turbine engine is a kind of off-spring of the let engine u~hich made its debut durill the war. The turbine is started by pressing an ignition button. when a compressor begins to force air into the combustion charrber. There it is heated by burning fuel and thrown out sasln at greatly enhanced speed. The blast turns two turbines: the first runs the comm-senor. the second. running all 11.000 to 35.000 r.p.rn.. drives the transmission shaft. A single lever controls the fuel supply (cheap ell) and so governs the speed. It sounds almost too sim- ple. but it's on the whyl ‘It Is be- lieved by the makers. that some form of this turbinelwlll ultimate- iv rnalre use of nuclear-energy. One wanders how long the been,

For instance he might have asked: “Are you coming to school tomor- row?" The answer. “Aa'd (I'd) as lief not," would have been no sur- prise to him. “I l-iad as lief" means simply “I would as will- ingly," and occurs at least twenty times in the Band's writings. “Liei" is also found in the Canterbury Tales (Chaucer) and originally meant dear. beloved. or pleasing. It had a comparative "liefer" not used by the poet. but he does use the superlative "liefest" (or dear- est) once only. "my liefest liege," occurs in the “Second Part of King Henry VI".

liffi-ciai Opening lit Mill itlvor School

—'l‘ha official opening of the new Mill River East School took place on Wednesday evening, Oct- ober I9th. There was a very large turnout of ratepayers and resi- dents. Mr. Sergeant Metherall was chairman. The first speaker was inspector M. E. Callaghan of Aiherton. He heartily congratu- lated the district on building such a fine modern school costing ap- proximately $3500, and spbke about the splendid spirit and coopera- tion of the district. The inspector mentioned the fact that during the past three years in the ninety-six (96) class rooms in his inspector- ate over one hundred thousand ($100,000) dollars had been spent in building new schools or in reno- vstlng and repairing old schools and said if the same trend con- tinued in the next three years every school in his Inspectorate would be completely and modern- ly equipped.

Education Dr. Llbyd w. Shaw Of Charlottetown who regretted he was unable to be present. The In- spector said that on October 18th he had brought Chief Supervisor Malcolm MacKenzle, Charlottetown, and Mr, Cozzl, from the W. J. Gage Co. of Toronto, to see the school and they were very enthusiastic about it.

The next speaker was Rev. George Cunningham of Albei-lon who stressed the part that the Christian Church has had in edu- cation. He was followed by Rev. W. G. Dickson of O'Leary who stressed the part that the home, the school and church played in n child's life. Both clergyman con- gratulated the district on having such s splendid school.

The last speaker was Miss Pearl Craig, a former teacher at the old school now teaching in O'Leary. Other former teachers present were Mrs. Mae Palmer now tench- ing in 0'Leary, and Mrs. Warren.

The new school is completely modern, has a hardwood floor. spacious cloak rooms, room for a library, completely insulated, etc. The present teacher is Miss Norine Kelly of Rosevilie. The trustees are Russell Haywood, Russell Bell.

RUBBER INSULATION is a substantial contributor to the famous Dod o Floatin Ride. There are soft, thick rubber cus ‘ons at a points of contact between the body and chassis. In addition, rubber limit bumpers on the springs eliminate hard metaI-to-metal sprin even under the most severe road con ‘tions.

FRAME CONSTRUCTION is box-type of double-channel, welded steel to give great stability. safety and long life. Front and rear bumpers are attached to the frame, the front bumper having a reinforcement plate for greater

strength.

BALANCED WEIGHT DISTRIBUTION is an important factor in the smooth Dodge ride. The Dodge engine is located over the from axle and the rear seat is ahead of the rear wheels. The result is a car which holds the road and handles safely and easily. All passengers are cradled between the front and rear wheels where the ride is smoothest.
