Repairing : Damaged SHAFT.

There are q few points in regard to the
Umbria breakdown, from an engineer
ing point of view, which might not ap-
peal to the ordinary observer. Engineer
Tomlinson got q great deal OF credit for
repairing the shaft, whereas a consider
able part Of the credit was due him and
his assistants for their cautions watch
fulness of all the machinery. Reports
show that the shaft was not entirely
broken of-the fracture was not COM
plete. 1t had been noticed that 1t was
not working smoothly, and the car was
taken off the thrust bearing and the flaw
discovered.
The mending consisted of strengthen
ing the parts so that the fracture could
not become any greater. and this was
practicable, while if the break had been
complete and the solid part had made
revolution against the broken off
end of the other part repairs would have
become almost, IL not quite, impossible
with the facilities on board the ship.
Our engineer friends who in the future
may stand in danger of being called upon
to mend q broken shaft may well bear
In mind, therefore, that to discover a
fracture before the shaft breaks Q a
long way toward successful repair.-Ma-

Dsssr.ssivs German ARTILLERY.

1870
80 destructive in its effect is the new
German artillery that it is asserted, once
the range were found, a battery would
annihilate IN entire division in q very
short time. Prima facie, this seems rath.
er to border Of the impossible, but when
the results Of the experiments which
were recently made In the presence Of the
emperor with the new weapons are con-
sidered the task does not appear to be SO
impracticable after all. The first shot
fred in the course of these experiments
at q target placed 80 PAGES from q
wood. The missile missed the target,
but plowed its way for 500 yards through
the wood. Shortly afterward a large area
Of the wood was discovered to be on fire.
This was due to the shell being charged
with a certain kind Of powder, the com.
position Of which is a secret known only
to the German government.
The splinters from shells burst by
this powder and fired by the new gun
cover q circle of 900 feet. This is a great
improvement ON the limited area of
ground that was covered by splinters
from shells fred by the artillery weapon
Of 90 years ago. Then it was considered
effective shooting if splinters from a
shell were thrown within a circuit Of 10
or so PAGES and seven or eight men
wounded, but the new gun has a far
greater destructive power than this.
Another shell fred at an enormous tar
get, constructed by the emperor's or
ders, covered it with thousands of holes.

An electric Road For Bru...,..

A scheme is well advanced for provid-
ing Brussels with an underground cleo
trio railway similar to the South London
line. The railway will have no fixed
terminus. but will be arranged similar
to the Inner Circle line, having II sta
tons at the most important points Of
the city. No locomotives will be en-
ployed. but each train win consist Of
only one first and second class composite
bogie carriage, to carry 10 passengers,
with compartment in front in which
the electric traction gear win b ar-
ranged. It is proposed to run II such
cars IN each direction and to work the
traffic by the automatic electric block
system, a. adopted on the Liverpool
Electric railway. The lifts ct each sta
ton will be operated by electric power.

SILK From Wood Pulp.

We are accustomed to the use of paper
made from sawdust. An attempt has
been made to produce artificial silk from
. similar source, the pulpof wood. Rib
bons OF many hues have been exhibited,
and the cost Ia said to be less than half
that Of real silk ribbons, the fabric being
almost az good in appearance. But at
Besancon 1t seems that the production of
silk from wood pulp has been long car
ried On, and large works have been built
for the trade. It has never come into
common use, one reason being the ex-
treme i-nfammability Of the material. a.
well as Ats want Of durability.-London

Oh, is it the gaudy ballet, with features

That presently by combustion setteth us

Or is it the CHEEKY magnum may, I'll
