A condenser Is constructed by making helical oil containing feet of awatet-meh copper tubing. One- fS. UCH of tie profanity that is unfortunate of the noble game of golf is caused by lost balls. It is certainly remarkable how a golf ball can hide, especially when it happens to land in long grass.

In hunting for his ball, the player us.u- Ally back and forth. or in circles over the area within as he believes, the missing "pill" must surely have come to rest. The metfiod is unsatisfactory and often and the golfer, in pursuing his search, is liable to retrace his own step again and again, tffus losing time. An inventor of Cambridge, Wal-, ter Powers, has devised a simple apparatus which, he claims, will render the finding of lost golf balls much easier and' quicker. One advantage it has is that, when not in use, it is packed in such small and convenient shape that it can be car-' ried in the pocket of a golf bag.

The contrivance is a tube a foot long, the lower half of which is a reel, a broad, circular "collar" surrounding the middle of the tube, and another, at the bottom forming a spool on which a long cord is wound. The cord is provided with -a number of equidistant loops, for a purpose presently to be Suppose the case of a golf ball lost in grass. iIt. must bo Aot far from this spot," says the player. Having decided that, he pulls out of the tube a sharp wmt, nts juho vut ui iio iuue simrp stake which, when not required for 8tl nts into tne tuo neatly, a he head of the stake ia encircled by a swivel ring, to Which is secured one end of jthVcord that is wound on the reeL Tbe' golfer unwinds part of the- cord from the.

reel, and, holding the latter in one hand, uses a golf club with the other, uifusting tne enu oi ltshan through th first of the above-mentioned loops. Then walks around the staked holding the vcoru me ground, ana mu ex plores a circular area of which the stake ii center and the lenirth of cord the radiusr The tall remains undiscovered.

Figure shows how flange may be installed. 'In fitting all joints use a paste made of glycerine and litharge. Use but little glycerine and mix with the finger tips to insure a smooth, syrupy mass without lumps. Mix but what is needed for immediate use, as it will harden and be useless in a few minutes. Do not get any of this sealing compound inside the fittings, apply to the threads -of the nipples only and never in valves or fittings.

Before attempting to charge the ma chine a high pressure test should be made. This-is accomplished by closinrr valve No, iigmiy, an other valves being open be sure that the expansion Valve is fully opened. See that the motor cups are filled with oil or the crankcase showing at least a half gauge of glycerine, the belt tight, and that water is flowing through the condenser and that same does not leak. Remove the flange from scale trap (No. 6) and start machine, running high pressure gauge up to 100 pounds.

Then stop machine and replace the flange half, meanwhile fitted with a plug. This plug is but temporary, but, nevertheless, should be tight Be sure to use gasket between the flange halves and when thought tight, open up valve No. 3. This will 'give an air. pressure on the whole system.

The pressure will fall to about 80 pounds or loss and then should remain at a constant Look over all joints for leaks: had ones can be immediately detected by the hissing sound; if in doubt, test with soap and Water and watch for bubbles. When satisfied that the system is tight, open the purge cock on the cross fitting No. 5, and allow the air to escape. Then with valve No. 1 tightly closed, start machine, exhausting1 the air from the system through the purge.

A good test to ascertain whether the Bystem' is tight or not is to fasten a rubber, hose to tbe purge edek and submerge in pail of water. This also shows when all the air is exhausted. When so exhausted, close valve No. 3 while the machine is running. Then stop machine nd unbolt the lower flange, take out the plug and Insert a nipple to which a charging hose has been clamped.

A charging hose is made from a length of Pressure or rubber tubing, such as is used confectioners on their carbonic, lines. A nipple is fitted into the tuUing and secured by three or fourhose clamps. The other end of the hose is similarly equipped with nipple and clamps.

It is a good plan to drill an oil shaft in the new bearing at an angle, as shown in sketch, to insure proper lubrication.
