LATEST HORIZONTAL SAW.
The Blade Travels at the Rate of 1000
Feet per Minute.

The Blade Travels at the Rate of 1000
Feet per Minute.
A new horizontal band saw Is being
introduced by an Englishman into this
country. The principle of 1t Is known
here, but the new machine probably
represents the latest development Of
this type Of machinery.
The whole machine weighs eleven
tons, and occupies, without counter
shaft or carriage, a floor space Of about
IA feet by 6 feet. The saw blade, which
is 3S feet long, inches wide, and runs
horizotally at 1000 feet per minute, is
carried by two wrought-steel pulleys
of special construction, feet in diam
eter No india rubber or other sub
stance Is used on the surface of these
pulleys, the saw blade running on the
metal rim with the teeth projecting
sufficiently beyond the edge Of the pull
ley to clear the set. The saw pulleys
are carried on q strong horizontal cast
ing, furnished with the necessary ad-
justment for altering the distance be-
tween the pulleys to suit saws of diff
ferent lengths, and to vary the tension
on the saws. The casting on which
the pulleys are carried rises and calls on
two large screwed vertical columns,
which are made to rotate by self-acting
gear, for the purpose of varying the
height of the saw. The position Of the
saw is indicated by disc Immediately
facing the operator, and, in fact, the
whole control of the machine is imme-
diately within his grasp, without hay
ing to alter his position. The four
levers placed close to the indicating
disc control the starting and stopping
of the machine. the lifting of the saw

/ Gave Up
Artificial Faults.

Many things which are harmless In
themselves are often condemned for
what they are supposed to lead to;
social pleasures are looked upon
askance, and trifiing things said or done
without the least intention are exag-
gerated into serious transgressions.
Honest opinions are made cause of re-
proach, and failure to meet convention
al requirements is regarded as blot
on the character. One would think there
were enough real faults in the world TO
be repented of and abandoned without
setting up imaginary ones that have no
foundation and can serve only to bring
needless trouble and to confuse the
moral sense.

Amusing Neighbors.

In writing Of the neighbOrhood where
his boyhood was passed, Mr.. w. II. lie
'Fanu, in Seventy Years Of Irish Life"
gives several amusing incidents Of the
people. One Of these neighbors was q
man of but little education, but a stir
ring magistrate during disturbances
which had occurred some time previ-
ously.
Many stories were told of him. 1t
was said of him that in forwarding his
reports on the state of the country to
the authorities in Dublin Castle, he
always began his letter. my Dear
Government" In one OF these reports
he said, You may rely on 1t, shall
endeavor to put down all nocturnal
meetings, whether by day or by night"
Another neighbor of ours was the
Rev. George Nader, rector Of Bally-
hood, an old bachelor, who lived with
a maiden sister, an elderly lady, SOL
emn and stately, whoEa he held In great
awe. She was very fond Of flowers.
When arranging some one morning In
the drawing room, she found curious
blossom which she had never seen be-
fore. Just as she discovered 1t her gar
dener passed the window, which was
open. "Come in, James," she called to
him; II want to show you one of the
most curious things you ever saw"
James accordingly came in. Miss Mad
der sat down, not perceiving that the
bottom Of the chair had been lifted out.
Down she went through the frame,
nearly sitting on the floor. James went
into fits of laughter, and said: "Well
ma'am, sure enough, 1t Is one Of the
most curious things ever seen In my
life."

Observations and calculations have
led Mr.. A. Mallack to conclude that in
sects do not see well, especially at a
distance. Their composite eye, how
ever, has an advantage over the simple
eye, in the fact that there Is hardly
any practical limit in the nearness of
objects it can examine. The best in
sect eye examined would give picture
about as good as If executed in rather
coarse woodwork, and viewed at dis
lance Of foot.
