General Banks In Church.

General Banks was as perfect a
gentleman in manner as we ever
knew, says The Christian Advocate,
and his dignity and his grace as a
speaker were both commanding and
fascinating. His voice was wonder
full. In New York during the war
he happened to spend Sunday and
went to Grace church, on Broadway,
wearing a huge white coat, as the
day was somewhat chilly. The''unc-
tuous Brown" the usher of fashion,
able society, long the sexton of that
church, with a keen eye for dignity,
missed the mark on that occasion
and seated the general near the door
in very unpleasant position.
As the house grew warm General
Banks threw open his coat. The mo-
ment Brown caught sight of the
epaulets of major general he has
tened to tho pew and in his most OBJ.
sequious tones said:
II can give you, general, a much
better seat. "
No." said the ex-speaker, with a
voice that sounded like pedal organ
note in E fiat. The seat that is good
enough for the white coat is good
enough for the blue" and declined
to change.

Cutting Tools.

Awriter in The Engineering Maya.
zine calls attention to the fact that
cutting tools on metals do not al
ways wear to the extent that is COM
monty supposed. Ordinarily they
are burned by too great a speed, this
burn being accounted for as follows:
When two pieces Of similar metal
are moved, the one upon the other,
while held together with consider.
able pressure and without lubri-
can't, they soon will weld together
at the point undergoing the greatest
strain and friction. Thus, an iron
shaft in an iron box becomes cut OF
CALLED, and, similarly, the point OF
the steel tool when cutting iron is
often taken away after doing but lit
tie work. Dissimilar metals, how
ever, do not burn each other to sc
great an extent. When an iron sha'
is contained in a box of bronze, one
metal being no harder than the other
they seldom or never unite, ant
therefore, steel tool can cut bras:
or hard bronze at very high speeds
In planning cast steel, it is though
questionable whether speed above
10 feet per minute is safe, though il
the case Of cast iron, where graphite
is present in the iron, it lubricate!
the tool, and sometimes it is safe t.
cut 20 feet each minute through tn
material.
