A very radical advance has been made In
iiies by mixture OF small portion Of
aluminium with the file steel. No one as
yet has been able to explain the cause, but
The Age Of Steel says the fact remains I'M
questioned that the aluminium does make
quite pronounced change in the character
Of the steel
In the first place, it renders thesteel softer
when the file is cut, so that the teeth are
much cleaner and more evenly cut than
with the regular file, and on the other hand
when the file is hardened it gives a tough
ness and hardness unknown before, 20 that
the result is a file that will do more work
and with less clogldng up than the ordinary
tile. 1t has been thoroughly tested and has
given great satisfaction.

Missionaries that go abroad like thos'

while Mr.. Smiley comedies that there might

of black one among the missionaries.
As for the Thousand assertions that can

The whalemen were the pioneers of civil

The art Of gem engraving is = very ancient
one, and it Is curious fact that the tools
used In this work have changed less than
any others known except perhaps the pot
ter's wheel. In lecture delivered at the
Metropolitan museum In New York Pro

art from the early Egyptians, through the
