NEW METHOD OP TEMPERING STEEL CUTTEREL—Mr.
R. Burn, engineer, Cagle Mil's, Edinburgh. is now ex-
tensively using the oil of the Sea Island cotton in tern-
pering steel for envelope dies and other kinds of steel
cutters ; and the success vs ith which the processes of
hardening and rendering these very useful articles ser-
viceable, has been tested by long and severe trials with
a great variety of cutters, many of which are of a size
that would have rendered it difficult to secure such a
result by any other process. Sonie of these dies have
been fitted to a malleable in)n plate, and, with the
asistance of a hydraulic press, 50 sheets of paper may be
cut into 800 envelopes at one stroke. Tin, cloth, and
india-rubber are also cut with equal expedition by ma.
chinery constructed fer ihe purpose of. cutting out shapes
of every variety.—Aleatanice Mvsztne,
