A coffin Is one of the principal articles of furniture In the home of Christian Straube, a native of Germany, who points with pride to his last habitat which he built with his own hands and accord, ing to his own idea 8. Straube occupies a small but In the woods between Richland and Mllinay. The shuck contains one room and the furniture consists of a stove, a small table, a cot, a chair and the coffin. This coffin is Straulie's pride and Joy, not on account of Its Intrinsic value nor Its expensive material, for It is made of boards sawed from trees in the surrounding woods, but because of its completeness. The grim box contains complete paraphernalia to safeguard the occupant from unnecessary suffering in case he is burled without being really dead. ' Fresh Air for""Corp8e." In the cover, above the place where the man's nose will be, is a hole In which a pipe, ten feet in length, is set, which, will extend above the surface of the earth, affording plenty of fresh air to the "corpse." , On top of the pipe Is a large bell connected with a rope to be placed in the occupant's hand so he can ring for rescuers if he regains consciousness in the coffin. Straube does nut believe In em-- , baliuiug, and has from his youth thought with fear and anguish of the possibilities of being burled and coming to life when put snugly away under six feet of earth. It was this fear that prompted him to build his own coffin provided, with the necessary safeguards against such a calamity. :. ber of performers.

OUT OF AUTOMOBILE Motor Pulls Best When Throttla Is Partly Open. Adjustment Depend on Carburetor and Particular Make of Car Perfect Mixture Will Always Make Strongest Explorlon. The purpose of throttle In nn automobile Is the speed and power output of tlie motor, t'nder usual conditions the wider the "throttle ia opened the great the speed of the car and the more horse power the engine will develop. In theory this should always be so, but In practice It Is not, writes G. W. Iverson In the Orange Judd Farmer. Every experienced driver knows that under certain conditions the greatest speed and the mot power Is not developed when the throttle Is fully opened but when it Is only partially opened. , In a slow heavy pull np a hill or In the mud the motor will pull better and hang on longer If the throttle Is partly closed, j The same thing Is true in speeding. Just how much to open the throttle under , these conditions depends upon the adjustment of the carburetor and the make of the car. It Is about half the maximum opening. The driver should experiment with his own car and find out which opening will be the best for his own particular car. The reason for this Is that carburetors are not 'perfect. If properly adjusted for one speed, they will not be right for another speed. Unless the motor gets a perfect mixture It will not get the strongest explosion. A given volume of air will absorb only a certain amount of gasoline vapor. A mixture containing less vapor than this will have excess which does not burn during the explosion. If Jt has excess vapor some of the vapor does not burn. In either case the explosion Is weaker than It should he. Keeping the throttle only partly open tends to correct some of the faults of the carburetor and gives a more perfect mixture.
