ink with which the government prints
its paper money. Mr.. Eddy's father
invented the ink, but he never told
anybody how he did it until lust be-
fore he died. when he let his son into
the secret Had an untimcly accident
gathered the inventor to his fathers
before lie told his son about the ink
the government printer would have
been in bad way, for, according to
the New York Advertiser, Mr.. Eddv's
invention is the only kind of ink that
will print on the peculiar surface of
the fiber Of which government note
paper is made. AT present Mr. Eddy
employs onlysiX men in the manufac-
turc OF his ink, and none of them are
in the secret None Of them has yet
seen Mr.. Eddy in the interesting act
OF mixing the ingredients of which
the ink is composed. Mr.. Eddy locks
himself up in his room two weeks in
every year, and it is there and then
that he mikes stuff enough to supply
the government with ink for the en-
suing twelve months. This process
OF locking himself up surrounds Mr..
Eddy's work with an air of romance
something like that of the man whom
Balzac made to search for the aka
hest the only difference being that
tie alkahest fellow shut himself up
for life time and got nothing, he
sides alternating the affections of his
wife, while Mr.. Eddy locks himself up
for two weeks and gets fifty thousand

then digs hole two feet deep into

Testing Nails.

An important test and one Of inter-
est to the manufacturers and users of
cut nails and wire nails throughout
the country is taking place at the
United States arsenal at Watertown
Mass. The object of the test is to
decide the question of superiority.
and to determine the comparative
holding power Of cut nails and wire
nails Of equal lengths and weights.
when driven, and in actual use. into
the common building material of the
country. the method Of conducting
the test is by pulling ten cut nails of
given length and weight, and then
putting ten wire nails of thc same
length and weight. thus testing the
nails in pairs until the list is cx-
hausted. The nails used have been
selected from stocks on the market.
and the tests are taking place upon
the government testing machine
under the supervision and control of
the commanding otficerof the arsenal.
The result will be embodied in an
official report which will be furnished
