SHARPENING EDGED TooLs-The National
Intelligencer translates the following from
German scientific journal
1t has long been known that the simplest
method of sharpening razor is to put it for
half an hour in water to which has been added
one twentieth of its weight of muriatic or sui
phuric acid, then wipe it of, and after few
hours set it on hone. The acid here supplies
the place of a whetstcne by corroding the
whole surface uniformly, so that nothing fur
ther but a smooth polish is necessary. The
process never Injuries good blades, while badly
hardened ones are frequently improved by it,
although to the cause of such improvement
remains unexplained.
Of late, this process has been applied to
many other cutting implements. The work
man, at the beginning of his noon-spell, or when
he leaves off in the evening, moistens the blades
Of his tools with water acidiiied as above, the
cost of which is almost nothing. This saves
the consumption oftime and labor in whetting,
which moreover speedily wears out the blades.
The mode of sharpening here indicated would
be found especially advantageous for sickles
and scythes
How TO " GO Go it strong in your
praise of the absent. Some of it will be sure

Go it strong when you make lave to pretty
