From the consideration of these well
known facts he concluded that the split
ing and exfoliation were due to the want
of sufficient adhesion between the vari-
Gus fibres constituting the bar, and that
the only remedy would be to change the
direction of the fibres by twisting the
bar in the process of rolling 80 that the
fibres should be twisted like the fibres
Of hempen rope, thus substituting the
tenacity Of the fbres for the force which
binds them together. In this way, it
will be observed, that TO split or exfoli-
ate bar of iron, il would be necessary
to cut the 6bres, as the bar acquires in
its cross section the strength or tenacity
which, on the old plan, it possessed in
longitudinal direction. This twisting Of
the fibres is effected in the operation of
rolling, by making the rolling mill of two
sets of rollers the first TO turn on their
axes in opposite directions, to draw the
bar Of iron between them in the usual
manner, and to pass it to the second set
which, in addition to their rotation on
their axis for drawing the bar, rotate
together about the axis of the bar, and
thus twist the fbres as the bar is drawn
through and elongated; thus causing
the fbres to assume spiral or helical
direction around the central line or axis
of the bar. In this way it will be seen
that the bar cannot be split in straight
lines without breaking the fibres, and
that therefore the only wear of railroad
bars and tires thus made will be due to
friction alone.

Improvement in Railroad Iron
manufacture.

We learn from the Boston Courier
that Mr.. Hora,io Ames, OF Falls Village,
Conn.,, has recently perfected highly
important improvement, destined to pro-
duce important results in the manuiac.
ture of iron for railroads. Mr.. Ames,
in the progress of his business, which is
mainly devoted TO tho manufacture OF
iron for the axles and tires of railroad
wheels, observed that the tires often
split or separate in lines parallel with
the plane of the wheel that is, in The
direction of the length of the bar OF
which they are formed. He also OBJ
serves that the rails of railroads often
split lengthwise, and that the upper sur
face and the inner edge, under the action
of the wheels and their ranches, exfol-
late that is, split off in lamina or scales
As an experienced ironmaster, he
knew that bar iron consists Of fibres
that lie parallel to one another, and run
ming in the direction Of the length Of the
bar that these fibres and their parallel
ism are due to the gradual elongation Of
the crystals of cast iron, when changed
into wrought iron in the process of ham,
mering and rolling, by which the chrys-
tails are gradually elongated, and in the
same direction, and that the attraction
of cohesion between the particles, con
shutting each fibre, is greater than be,
tween the different fibres, as it is well
known bar iron has much more tenacity
in the direction of the fibres than across
them.

Leather and Shoes.

There is nothing like leather, says the
shoemakcr's proverb, and looking into the
statistics Of its manufacture one becomes
impressed with sense of lis importance.
The aggregate annual amount expend-
ed in the boot, shoe and leather business
of this country, nearly reaches the total
value of the cotton crop Of the United
States.
AS regards the amount of capital and
the number Of hands employed, the
shoe business is said TO take precedence
of any other manufacture carried on in
America, producing commodities to the
value of $5O,OOO,OOO annually, and
giving employment TO between 1907
900 and 200, 900 operatives.
The statistics of productive industry
in Massachusetts, for 1916, show that
there were made during the year, the

A CoNTENTED DRUGGIsr.-A druggist
was aroused by the ringing of the night
bell. He arose, went down stairs, and
had to serve customer 10 dose of salts.
His wife grumbled, What profit do you
get out of that penny GA ha'penny,"
replied the assiduous druggist. "And
for that ha'penny you'll be awake long
time," rejoined the wife. "Never mind"
added the placid druggist, the dose of
salts will keep him awake much longer.

1.-TWO days ago, | had the honor of private pre-
sentation to his holiness. The dignity and simpli-
city of his manners are very striking. The gen.
tleinan who obtained the audience for me, and who
went to introduce me, is an abbot. His holiness
was standing by his table, dressed in plain white
robes, and with little white cap covering the
crown of his head. My friend preceded me nliie
in entering the room, and when halted within the
door, and not far from it, to make my DOW, the az
bot was down upon his face, trying to KISS Inc

taken-sad the Government had sent him some
valuable books--that he was always happy to see
my eountrymen-tilat he thought the liberty and
happiness of the people was well secured in the
United States, etc. His holiness is evidently quite
familiar with political history, and has lofty
appreciation of the character of Washington. He
manifested acquaintance with the great names of
the past and the PRESENT, and among the latter,
spoke of Mr.. Webster, Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Calhoun.
In size, figure, and certain brisk carriage of his
person, Plus TX reminded me of Chancellor Kent.
