The New Expanding Bullet.

An English military officer has designed
a bullet which is claimed to meet the OBJ
jections made against the small bore pro
jectile The present size of bullet adopted
by most governments has been found to
pass through living animals in less sensi-
tive parts without their being apparently
aware that they had been struck at all.
This is due to the combination of high We
locity and small diameter. If the bullet
strikes bone the effect is different, be-
cause the bone splinters terribly under a
blow at a high velocity The Industrial
World describes this bullet as having
mantlet or case, which is closed at the base
and open at the head, the mantlet ending
about half way between the shoulder and
the point The result is that on impact
the head spreads, so as to make the bullet,
after having the advantage of "A small di
ameter in flight, to become on striking
practically one of large bore, the main diff
ference being that the energy consists more
in velocity and less in weight than was the
case in an old large bore ball. 1t is said
also to be much more efficient against thin
iron or steel plate for the same reason-
namely, that it makes much larger hole
and to act particularly we'll in oblique i'm
pact.

Hardening of Varnishes.

1t is supposed by many that all varnish
is dry on the surface before it hardens
through, and that only careful eXamina
ton is necessary before applying the second
coat AS matter Of fact, however, &C
cording to The Carpenter and Builder, the
reverse is the case with high class var
nishes, which invariably harden from the
bottom upward. This should be well borne
in mind, and several days should always
be allowed for proper hardening and dry
ing before hattening down for the second
coat, A change of temperature may cause
a varnish to dry at one time much slower
than at another, and therefore change
of weather has always to be taken into ac'
count. Cold drafts may strike varnish and
render it fatal to it's proper bearing out; in
fact, no varnish should be applied in frosty
weather, as the properties are utterly de
stroyed by it. Then an oily brush or a toe
full undercoat and insufficient time for the
hardening of it are certain to affect the re
suits, and will often necessitate the revar
nishing of the work.

originally introduced in the form Of clay

metamorphosed by heat, pressure and
superheated steam into micaceous mineral.
Instances of similar change of one min

Itacolumite is also remarkable for the
precious minerals and metals occurring in
it, Scales of gold and diamonds are album

bearing sands of Brazil have been largely
formed by the disintegration of this rock,

The hexibility of tacolumite is readily
understood when the stone is examined

sists of separate grains of sand transformed
into solid rock by some cementing material
which has percolated in solution between
the grains. This cement varies in its ma
ture, and may consist of carbonate OF lime,
oxide of iron, silica or many other sub
stances, even including in n few rare in
stances native silver and copper. All these
ordinary sandstones are rigid and brittle,
but in itacolumite the grains are cemented
together by mineral closely resembling
mica or sericite. These minerals, being
quite flexible in themselves, confer the
same property upon the sandstone as a
whole. In Fig. is shown "A microscopic

surrounded by a coating of the flexible ce-

Hardwood Wedge versus Jaokscrew.

Hardwood Wedge Versus Jackscrew'
The Boston Journal of Commerce reports
the idea of chimney builder who gives it
as his opinion that good hardwood wedge
will lift as much as a jackscrew. The
wedge must be made of well seasoned oak
two feet long, with taper of about one
fourth of an inch to the foot, and have one
half of its length on a good even surface
By placing several of these wedges side by
side, using heavy sledge on one at time,
especially the one that starts the easiest, it
Is not to be wondered that a taking strain
might be accomplished with wedges as well
as with jackscrews.

= SENATOR SHERMAN thinks the trend
In all commercial countries is towards
the gold standard and that this country
will have to yield to the inevitable. He
says:
The fact is that silver is going the way
of the other metals probably, such as
nickel, and copper and iron. The methods
now used to cheaper the production of sill
YER diminish it's value as . standard of
coin. such as il had when it represented q
large percentage of labor. We had copper
once for coin. but its fall in value was in
evitable upon the cheapening of its produce
ton and the quantity produced. Nickel,
once Sl.30 q pound, has fallen TO 30 cents.
Pig iron is worth about Sls a ton. and steel
rails. once 500. arc now SO a ton, or nearly
q cent and a half q pound. Nails. perfect
times. are but 81 a key. The falling off of
the cost of production in the other metals
used for coinage has produced a momentary
appreciation of gold. l think We shall bot
be able to sustain ourselves against the
financial attitude of the commercial world,
which is inclining toward the gold stand
ard more rather than less decidedly.
Europe is too closely connected with us
to allow US to be above her opinion.
He favors the repeal of the act of
1890 and does not think the cessation of
the purchase of silver by the govern
ment will cause any material connection
In the financial world. However that
may be, there does not seem to be any
wisdom in the government continuing
any longer ar experiment which has
proven to be a very costly failure.
There is nj sense i'll piling up a metal
in the vaults of the treasury which can
not be got into circulation.
