The following from an exchange is the
only sensible way to view the present situa-
tion: "A hen any one claims that the les-
ent condition of the wool market in the
United States is the result of the Mckinley
bill, he says what he knows positively is
not the truth. The bottom of the wool
market in this country has dropped out be-
cause of the uncertain condition of affairs
as to the legislation congress may make
upon the tariff question. If the promised
free wool is given no one proposes to pay
the prices that could be paid under the pro-
tective tariff, hence what prices are offered
are really in anticipation of wool being put
on the free list

Localizer: F. M. Shinn, of Wenatchee,
has conceived the idea of dlggiug canal
mile and quarter long; by which he
expects to create a water power that can
be utilized for many local purposes. He
expects to get from it a 25,000h horse
power; enough to water the entire coun-
try about the town and all the way down
the Columbia. In addition to that he ex-
poets to be able to supply electric light
power, to supply the town with water and
when needed power for the electric street
cars and the Wenatchee smelter The
last use may be intended as a joke.

The Names of Nails.
Hardware,

The origin OF the terms "six-penny,"
"ten-penny," etc. as applied to nails.
though not commonly known, is involved
in no mystery whatever. Nails have been
made a certain number of pounds to the
thousand for many years, and are still
reckoned in that way in England, a ten
penny being a thousand nails to ten
lounds, a six-penny a thousand to six
pounds, twenty-penny weighing twenty
pounds TO the thousand, and in ordering
buyers call tor the three. pound, six-pound
or trn-pound variety, ETC., until, by the
Englishmen's abbreviaton of PUN" for
pound" the abbreviation has been made

REINFORCING STEAM PIPES.
Closely Wound Wire Has Thus Far
Proved the Strongest Protection.


1t has been proposed more than once to
Reinforce copper steam pipes by shrinking
steel rings around them. Theory, how
ever, shows that unless these rings are
very closely spaced the pipe may actually
be weakened by their presence, and the cor
rectness of this view was borne out by a
series of careful experiments made on this
point by Commodore George w. Melville,
Chief of the Engineering Bureau of the
United States navy. Comparative tests
by him between plain and REINFORCED pipes
showed both to fall at practically the same
pressure. In the Italian navy the plan of
Reinforcing the pipes with wire has def
nitely been adopted, and is described by
Labor Soliani in the Revista Martina
The practice is to serve hetubes over with
one or more layers of closely laid metal
wire, wound on under tension.
Up TO about eight inches in diameter.
drawn tubes are used without reinforce
mEnt. Above this diameter, however, the
tubes are made of copper shests by braZ-
Ing In the usual way. and are then wrapped
around with close spiral of copper or
Delta metal wire. This method of re-
enforcement is only considered applicable
in straight tubes, and, accordingly, these
only are used, gun-metAl castings being
adopted at the elbows and bends The
wire is of sufficient section TO carry the
full steam pressure independently of the
strength Of the tube; the latter is, how
ever made strong enough to stand the
usual hydraulic test befoIe the wire is put
on.
The reinforcement is made up of two or
three independent spirals. so that if one
wire breaks the tube is still held up to its
work by the others. The ends of these
separate spirals are fixed independently to
the hanges. The tension at which the
wire is wound on is about one and half
tons per square inch.

mill they discovered smoke coming up
from the shaving room, which is directly
under the main floor of the mill. They
at once got out the hose attached to the
village wate:-works pump, and turned
on stream. But the flames had by this
time made too much Roadway to be stop

firemen turned out with great prompt

only Il moment Later. Four lines of
pipe were laid from the two hydrants in
front of Park place, a fifth line from the
hydrant at the bakery and sixth was
obtained from the pump. Every one of

to surrounding property. Some of the
merchants having stores in Union block
made ready TO move. but no goods were
taken out. The pump did all that could
have been expected, furnishing, AS above
stated, six fire streams. And every one
of them was good stream, too. BY IL

or at least so thoroughly subdued that
little more remained to be done than to
watch it and keep it from taking fresh
start.
