Chapman's Shaft Fastener Is novel application
of India rubber to very important purpose. A
prepared block of yulcanizcd rubber can be In
stantly applied to the junction Of the shaft and
axle and will secure the attachment Of the shaft
Of the axle beyond the possibility Of danger from
the loss Of the nut or bolt. Tie entire simplicity
Of the fastener is its chief Recommendation for the
most stupid stable-helper cannot err in its applca-
ton. The frequency Of accidents from the loss Of
the important bolts, held in place by this fastener,
win occasion its general use, il it did not possess
the additional quality Of preventing the unpleasant
rafting which accompanies most vehicles which
have been few weeks in use. n
II is stated upon reliable authority that the ac-
counts Of the Hon. Thomas ]. Henly, now Indian
Agent for California have been suspended for the
want Of proper vouchers. The amount suspended
is very large, but il is believed that Mr.. Henly will
be able, perhaps, to procure sufficient vouchers to
pass muster before the accounting officers. 1t will
be recolIected that Mr.. Henly was appointed to
succeed Lieut.. Beale, whose accounts were also
suspended prior to his removal. The Indian Office
is no longer the back door Of the Treasury through
which the public money could be packed off with
impunity, without vouchers and without law.

the steam for three. It is even thought that the
waste heat Of one Scotch furnace is sufficient not
only to heat and supply the blast for that furnace
but to convert pig iron into bar iron in other hr
naces. Even now, upward Of ton Of Goals is saved
in smelling ton Of iron in Dundyvan by making
the heat of the furnace do more york before being
permitted to take its erial Fight lG
