Lubricating OILS.

Of some of the various lubricating

give good results, but constitute a
compound for cylinder use greatly
preferable to many of the cylinder
oils that are often employed. of
which the chief qualifications are
their black color and tarry consist
ency, it being enormously supposed
that because good cylinder oil is of
high viscosity and is often dark col

be true, and that oils possessing these
properties will be excellent cylinder

replaces that of tallow there is an alb

the fat by high pressure steam, with
the production of free fatty acids,
which are often present in such guam

tallow, and this iron soap having been
consequently dissolved out and for the

On the Safe Side.

Everybody knows this is a good place to
be, but everybody does not take measures
to be there. An efficient preventive places
us on the safe side of incipient disease, and
there is no one more reliable than Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters in cases where the
kidneys are inactive, which is but the pre-
liminary to various destructive maladies
which disregarded have a fatal termlna-
ton. Bright's disease, diabetes, dropsy,
edema, are but the outgrowths of neg
lected inaction of the kidneys and bladder
They should be checked at the outset with
the Bitters, which will prevent their
progress by arousing the renal organs to
activity. and thus place those who resort
to this saving medicine on the safe side.
This preservative of safety also conquers
constipation, liver complaint, malarial
fever, nervousness and dyspepsia.

slides and is very rigidly constructed,
so as to withstand the strain brought
on it by the weight of the field mag
net. The magnet is formed of two
iron castings both together forming a
complete circle, with four inwardly
projecting cores to receive the field
coils The magnet is bored and
fitted with a pole bushing sur
rounding the armature, which
gives the greatest possible
effective polar arc, and prevents
the disagreeable cumming sometimes
observed with toothed arnatures un-
der heavy loads and suppresses the
tendency to spark by reason of stray
lines of force. The armature is of the
toothed hollow drum type. BY sys-
tenn of end connections, crossing of
the conductors at the leads of the
armature is avoided, thus reducing the
danger of short circuiting and burn
ing out and permitting of con-
veniently getting at every wire.
The commutator is massive, and the
well-known Belknap patent woven
wire and graphite brushes are used.
The bearings, which are very large,
are self-lining and self-oiling. The
two terminals are located at opposite
sides of the machine to avoid the
danger of a short circuit The field
cores are compound wound and the
magnetic circuit of the machine is
carefully designed with reference to
the reluctance of cast iron, wrought
iron and air, so as to get the very best
attainable effect from the materials
used.
