instead Of shrieks. Instead Of whistlng

this thing is finely perfected it will tool

FROZEN IOI FEET DEEP.

The Chicago Tribune, OF recent date'
contains an account of a novel and SCI
entifc departure in mining engineering
which is now being tried by the Chaplin
Mining Company, of Iron Mountain,
Michigan. This company, some time
ago, in sinking a shaft, struck quicksaDd
at depth of fifteen feet, and by boring
found another and larger stratum at a
depth of sixty feet. A patent recently
invented by German physician was
tried, and with the most satisfactory re.
suits. 1t was an apparatues which
freezes the quicksand.
Around circle twenty nine feet in
diameter, twenty.six l0.inch holes we're
bored in the ground l0l feet deep. Into
these holes were inserted S-inch wrought
iron pipes, connected with malleable
iron couplings and securely plugged at
| the bottom. Inside of these large pipes
is an inch and half pipe, terminating
| within ten inches of the bottom. At the
top both series of pipes are connected
with tubing of their respective diane
tiers, which tubing leads to couple of
huge tanks in the freezing plant and en-
CINE house. The ice machine operates on
solution of chloride of calcium, reduc-
ing its temperature to minus twenty-five
degrees Centrigrade, or about seventeen
degrees Fahrenheit below zero. This
cold fluid is forced into the series of
small pipes dropping to the base of the
large pipes. The pressure forces liquid
up the pipes and back into the tank,
from which it again passes through the
ice machine and is again sent on its con-
gealing mission.
The result of the continued crcula.
ton of this cold solution is the absorp-
ton of the natural heat of the ground
and the freezing of the earth around the
pipes. These concealed circles gradually
widening from solid, impervious wall,
in whose frozen embrace the treachcrous
quicksand becomes as granite. Such was
the discovery of Prof. Poetsch.
This Iron Mountain shaft is now down
distance of seventy feet From exam
nations made at this point, it was fount
that the ground was frozen in a circl'
forty.fve feet in diameter. In othe
words, the excavation is surrounded by
CONCEALED wall fourteen feet thick. A
the bottom of the shaft, miners We're a
work drilling and blasting as in tn
rock. "The yielding sand had take
upon itself the qualities of everlastin
rock, and the quicksands were as immo,
able as the everlasting hills.
8 The Importance of this discovery wi
be more fully appreciated when it is vi
derstood that untold millions of miner

A dealer in cutlery expresses the
opinion that not one man in 80 knows
hows to sharpen pocket.knife. "a
razor" he says, "must be laid Hat on the
hone, being hollow ground and requiring
a fine edge. But pocket-knife re-
quires stiff edge, and the moment you
lay it fiat on a stone, so as to touch the
polished side, you ruin the edge. The
blade must be held at an angle OF 20 o,
25 degrees, and have an edge similar te
q chisel. This is technically called the
'cannel, and is marked on all new knives
by fine white line which does not re
move or touch the surface. Knives i'm
properly whetted are often condemned
as too hard or too soft without reason.

A Remarkable Race Track Story.

Can perfection in railroad passeng

Certainly not, because the work of
