It is doubtful whether the smallamount of steam drawn into the mixturecan make any appreciable differencewith the power developed, but it is aknown fact that introducing watervapor in proper (|uantities will tend toreduce lialiility of carl)on deposit in thecombustion chamber.—Victor \V. Pag^. US 124 Popular Science Monthly. A practical home-made gasoline gage for theautomobile A Gasoline Tank Gage AGASOLINE tiink gage may bemade as follows: Obtain a brassrod of about 3/16-in. diameter, 2 than the tank is deep, a corkabout i},4 ins. in diameter and H in-thick; also a strip of copper yi in. wide,about 1/16 in. thick and as long as thetank is deep. To make the holes in thecork-Hoat, obtain an iron rod and apiece of strap-iron of the right size, heatthem and press into the cork. Repeatthis operation until the holes are burnedthrough the cork. Put one end of the copper strip in avise and with a pair of pliers giv-e it onecomplete turn. See that the lloat slidesfreely upon it. Place the float on rod and flatten the ends of therod for a distance of i in. and drill holesfor copper or brass wire to be solderedto each end of the copper spiral forbearings and pointer. Assemble asshown in the illustration. Make a holein the filler-cap to acconnnodalt- thepointer and sol
