wagon and Evans came alcng, saw q
coat inside and proceeded to swipe it.
Mr.. Glockhoff noticed the coat was
gone and notified the police. Officer
Etzel was detailed on the case. and il
was only a short time until the
sneak thief was nailed and jailed.

Antifriction Materials.

Tho idea of using for machinery bear
ings some material developing only lit
tie friction when worked dry and with
out oil is not one of recent date only.
but may be said to go back to the time
OF the Romans, as some of the hand
-four mills found at Pompeii have the
lower stone fitted with an iron bearing
which evidently worked dry in the stone
socket of the upper stone. / believe the
wooden nxles of wagons which are used
in some parts Of England at the present
time to transport heavy grindstones
from the quarries are constructed with
axIes of oak in . similar manner.
Throughout Egypt, in the Nubian water
wheels, which are everywhere employed
for irrigation, unlubricated wooden
bearings are used, which appear to wear
very slowly, the surface of the bearing
acquiring fine glaze. Stone bearings
have also been employed for shaftse
In addition to these oilless bearings
there are others in which perhaps q
small quantity Of grease might have
been employed, such as the leather
bushes used in spinning wheels and the
leather band on that part of the oar
which works in the rowlock may be
quoted ms an instance Of leather worx-
ing ON wood. Glass has also been tried,
but the only kind which has survived TO
the present and has been the most sue
cessful Of all is the plumbag bearing.

A Destructive Fire rigging at

TWO THCUsAHD TONS OF STRAW.

Marrow Escape Of the Graham Paper Mill
-rlrs Engine Fron Rock Island Arsenal
on Hsnc-Am0unt Of the Loss and the
Insurance.
Fire broke out in the straw stacked
near the Graham Paper mill near
Sears Mt 1880 today, and in n few
minutes the flames were leaping
furiously, threatening the destruc-
ton OF the mill, about sixty feet dis
tant. but fortunately the wind was
in the wrong direction to encourage
the spread of the fire to the mill, and
il was confined to the straw.
Two Thousand Tons Abiaze.
OF this material there were 1000
tons, and the fire was communicated
by n spark from the smoke stack at
the mill. and owing to the dry nature
OF the straw, it was soon a mass of
flames beyond the control Of such
fire protection as could be sum-
moned Mt the time. The two Milan
companies responded, and by means
OF n hand pump and the en-
CINE in the mill succeeded in
getting couple OF streams OF
water on the burning straw.
Meanwhile word was telephoned to
Rock Island arsenal for the steam
engine there. and with Lieut.. Thomp-
son and j. W. Lawhead in charge, it
was sent to Rock Island with all pos
sible haste. and Supt. of Telegraph
Greenough. Of the Peoria road. had
switch engine and a Hat car in read
mess to convey il to Sears. Reach
ing there the engine was set to work
assisting in putting down the fire and
holding it in check.
The Loss and Insurance.
The straw destroyed was valued at
$12, 900. on which there was insur-
ance OF $4,000 in Hayes & Cleave-
lands agency, distributed among
these companies at $1,000 each:
