A Hard Nut to Crack.

Every year the Livelihood Of tho
"cracksman" is becoming more precari-
ous Electricity has been sad thorn
In his side Of late, and now, In addition
to the embarrassments of electric tell
tale alarms, the safe burglar has to
cope with material that practically
defies the keenest and best tempered
drill that it is possible to make. The
strong rooms Of new safe deposit
company in London are constructed
throughout of steel, the doors being
faced further with solid plate, half an
inch thick, Of patent compo safe steel
is may be gathered from a description
of a recent drilling test. The position
of the holes was selected variously and
at random, and the steel used in the
drills was ordinary high-class Sheffield
tool steel. Subsequently Syrian tool
steel and Mushet's self-hardening steel
were also tried. The drills were first
tried with q temper corresponding to
the usual purple for drilling iron.
Later some were tried Of very stiff
strong form, completely hardened by
being plunged in cold water and mtem-
pered in any way. This condition cor
responds to that of the tools found most
suitable for cutting chilled iron. Other
drills were tried ranging through all
degrees of hardness, from the last de-
scribed down to the softest "blue" tenn
per for cutting iron. The drills were
fabricated by petroleum oil chiefly, but
in the course Of the trials other lubri-
cants were used, such as water, spirits
of turpentine, paraffin, malt vinegar,
acetic acid, lemon Juice, solution of soft
soap and vegetable oil. The results
were in one. sense uniform; no single
plate proved penetrable The hard drills
crumbled up under the pressure when
ever they came into contact with the
hard steel lamination, while the drills
Of the softer class were turned up and
burned by abrasion. No matter what
lubricant was tried the result was The
same. With sucA a material as this in

An important feature of modern pro-
gress is the widening use of compress
ed air. Compressed air, utilized for
power purposes, has been known to the
world for nearly 200 years, but its en-
ployment for sinking bridge caissons,
operating rock drills, coal-cutters and
other mining machinery, manipulating
alr-brakes, tunnel driving by the pneu-
matte process, ETC., are familiar to this
generation, and serve to suggest the
wide possibilities of this power in the
service Of the engineer, scientist and
manufacturer. w. Il. Pressinger, In

Grated alternately, the pressure being
turned on and or by automatic valves
and the contents forced to their des-
tinati0n through cast-ir0n mains. An
other interesting utilization of COM
pressed air at the worlds fair was the
painting OF the large buildings by
means of a spray. Instead of being
laid on, according to ordinary practice,
the paint was pushed, under tremen-
dous pressure, through hose pipe, and
the painter played upon the surface to

cultural building the painter stood ~

this way. Compressed air isf further
employed to operate the steering gear
of vessels, to supply divers in subma-
rine operations, to mold patterns in
fopntiries, and to supply jets for clean
mig the seats of railway cars. Physi-
Clans use it for treating patients by

equipped with chambers in which the

Chief of Ordnance, win purchase q
monster light for experimental pur-
poses. The apparatus desired, inciud

steam engine and boiler, will cost be-
tween $4,000 and $1,000.
The workings of the big electric
search-light at Chicago, on the roof Of

that experiments with another large
that the German firm which construct
for Sandy Hook. The bid Of that COM
bid was that of the General Electric
Light Company of this city, $11,5OO in
amount. The search-light has, by its
use on shipboard, become an important
part of torpedo warfare. 1t is absolute
ly necessary in the operations at night.
and the more powerful the light the
less will the attacking party be able to
do.
Gen. Flagler believes that the search
light will be very useful in the coast
defense forts at the large ports, and 1t
is with the view of ascertaining the
utility Of these lights that the present
apparatus is to be bought and expert
ments conducted at Sandy Hook prov

light proper, with mirror about 60 in
ches in diameter, furnished with an
horizontal arc lamp. The mechanism
must be capable of giving the light ro-
tation in an horizontal and a vertical
plane, and governor must be provid-
ed to permit Of electrically training the
apparatus from a distance. The dy-
namo must produce an intensity OF
light of about 2OO,OOO,OOO candle power,
while the energy consumed in the lamp
must not exceed $50 amperes by sixty
