Motorists who do much winter driving fcid it very annoying to have the wind shield become clouded with mois : t.ure or heavily sprinkled with raindrops, which persist hi clinging to the glass in large heads, './.'his of course makes it impossible Lor the driver to <>-efc a clear view of the road ahead, and is especially disconcerting at night time. Tiie following method will be found effective in causing raindrops k. slide oil' the glass rapidly, and in preventing a coat of moisture from collecting in wet or foggy weather; -Obtain a small quantity of semi-liquid 01 soft soap, or make a paste of ordinary soap, and water, and smear a little 1 over both sides of the glass. Then with a soft cloth or a handful of waste rub the soap evenly over the entire surface, so that a thin transparent film remains. If this soap film be well distributed and well rubbed, so that, all surplus will be removed, its prusenei cr.nnofc be detected when the screen is dry. • (*• "The Accurator" is the name of a new instrument; r just' put on the-rKnp--lish market by the Bowderi Compnv.

It is claimed that the "Accurator" gives, where an air valve is used, the exact economical mixture, that it indicates the most economical speed on hills and on the flat, and indicates the proper position of the throttle for the work required. It also shows the correct gear for climbing hills.
