The Sun calls attention 10 the paper belts
that have the reputation Of being superior
IN many respects TO those OF leather. These
belts are made from pure linen stock, and
are Of any desired thickness, width or
length, having also driving power equal
TO any other from an equal surface. and
while It is not claimed for them that they
are adapted TO all kinds Of work. they are
found TO serve well as straight driving
belts Of not less than five inches In width.
Where they have been tested side by side
with leather belts for strength and dura-
biIity they are alleged to have proved
equally satisfactory. adhering very closely
to the pulley, generating no electricity
while running, being also flexible and I'M
affected by temperature within ordinary
limits, though there is one place In which
they cannot be used, and that is where
they have to run in water, or where they
would be constantly subjected to moisture.

A new use has been found for tubes pro-

the London Ironmonger. At the funeral
of Count Won Moltke the troops were
equipped for the first time with lances, the
shafts of which, instead of being wood, as
usual, were formed of very thin steel
tubing, made at the Mannesmann works.
The tubes are, it is said, actually lighter
than wood, while at the same time posses
