STEEL WOOL.
It Is Used for Polishing in Place OF Sand
and Emery Paper.

It Is Used for Polishing in Place OF Sand
and Emery Paper.
Steel wool is an interesting product,
the subject OF a recent German patent,
and is intended for use in all cases where
sandpaper, emery paper, pumice stone
and materials of n kindred nature are
employed. In bulk it resembles, both
In appearance and to the touch, the hair
commonly used for stuffiDg mattresses
and chairs. The ordinary by-produc,
known as steel shavings has for many
years been used for rough work. in
which the coarser grades of sandpapef
are used; but the objections to the use
of these shavings for the finer work OF
rubbing down varnish or paint on
woods and for polishing metals Were
the harshness of, and lack of uniformity
in, the threads, and thereby cutting
instead of polishing; and, being of many
different sizes and shapes, would leave
an uneven surface.
The idea of making n machine to
overcome these difficulties originated
years ago in Switzerland with an OBJ
serving German, who noticed painters
gathering the refuse derived from the
manufacture of reed for looms, and
picking thcrcfrom the finer grades for
the use in rubbing down wood and
metal work generally. Upon examina-
tion he found that his residue consisted
of fiat ribbons of steel, the borders oil
which were planned off, and before being
assorted was an admiXture of fine and
coarse grades. He discovered two de-
fects in the material; first, it was inn
possible to obtain any appreciable guam
t;ty of uniform grade, and, second, The
temper and quality of the steel were
such that only indifferent results could
be obtained.
Eventually he built machine for the
manufacture of shredded steel or steel
threads uniformly fine in quality, but
still retaining sufficient cutting propen-
sites, and so delicate in texture that in
stead of steel shavings he called it steel
wool. Then by carefully studying the
temper and quality of steel best adapted
to his needs he was enabled to perfect
the product. The advantages claimed
for steel wool are that it cuts more
quickly and uniformly than sandpaper,
does not clog or gum, and being both
flexible and perfectly homogeneous,
adapts itself readily to the shapes of
carvings and moldings.-St. Louis Re-
p,iblic.

A clock Made of Bread.

Bread is the most curious material
out of which clock has ever been con-
structed. There was, and may still be,
in Milan, clock made of bread. The
inaker was native 'of Milan, who de-
voted three years of his time to the task.
He was very poor, and being without
means to purchase the necessary metal
for the making of clock, he set apart
regularly portion of his bread each
day, eating the crust and saving the
soft part. To solidify this he made use
of a certain salt, and when the various
pieces were dry they became perfectly
hard and insoluble in water. The clock
was of good size, and kept fair time.

How Esklmos Trap Wolves.

Field and Stream tells of curious
way by which Eskimos catch wolves.
They plant u stake in the ice, with a
sharp piece of flint on the end, which
is wrapped with seal or other blubber.
Along comes the wolves and go to lick
ing the frozen blubber. After awhile
they get down to the flint and cut their
tongues on it. Being ravenously hum
CRY, when they taste the warm blood
they fall to and chew the life out of one
another. The familiar trick of putting
bent piece of sharpened whalebone
into ball of blubber which is released
by the heat of the animals stomach,
is much less effective than the flint
stake, because nearly whole packs Of
wolves are killed by the latter device.

A JOKE By RENEGADE APACHEs.
Robbed the United States Troopers Who
Were Pursuing Them.


Apache Indians have been playing a
practical joke on the United States
army, which leaves no doubt that the
Indian does possess a sense of humor
only little less keen than his desire for
things that don't belong to him. A
troop of cavalry from Fort Grant has
been securing the country through
southern New Mexico and Arizona for
weeks in search Of band of San Carlos
Apaches who have been committing
their usual depredations through that
region. The soldiers would not even get
sight of renegades, and at last, worn
out with their long marches, they went
into camp the other day near Lords
burg, in southwestern New Mexico.
On the very first night in camp the
Indians they had been searching for
crept up and made raid on the COM
missary department. They. stole all
the provisions they could get hold OF.
couple of pack mules and two saddle
horses, and then crept away so quietly
that the troops did not know they had
been there until morning. Then Uncle
Sam soldiers found themselves short on
breakfast bacon, hard tack and coffee.
The Indians had left barely enough for
half raitons for breakfast. The Apaches
did not need what they had stolen, for
some of the provisions were found, but
no longer fit for use, scattered along the
trail the Indians had taken, while the
two mules and one of the horses were
found, hamstrung and dying, no more
than five miles from the camp. The
Indians meant 1t simply as piece Of
daredevil defiance and a grim practical
joke of the sort that most appeals to the
Apache sense of humor.
The renegades were headed toward
the north, and telegram was sent to
Fort Bayard to head them off. A troop
of cavalry was sent out at once, but
up to date has neither headed nor tailed
them.-N. Y. Sun.

A Swiss watch That Speaks.

A wonderful mechanical continuance
is announced from Switzerland in the
shape of watch that calls out the
hours in voice like that Of human
being. This mechanical curiosity is
the invention of one Casimir Livan, who
based it's principles upon his knowledge
of the workings of the photograph.
The case, instead of containing strik-
ing apparatus, as some of the late cost
ly watches do, is provided with phono-
graphic cylinder, which is fitted with
sensitive Photographic plate, which
has received the impression of O human
voice before being inserted in The
watch.

The fall of dead branches from q
tree is an excellent sign of an approach
ing storm. The dead wood, much de-
cayed, absorbs moisture and loses its
tenacity, thus causing the branch to

and Gerard went also.
But while with Henry it had been the
love of q life time, with Gerard 1t was
only q phase. His passion dulled with
distance; his letters grew less frequent,
and stopped altogether after one even

magnificent black eyes looked into his

had been many times doubled, had

smiles as she never bestowed upon her
husband after the novelty of married
life had worn of, and left his great
house to the devices of servants for
months at a time while she flung her
self into the gayety of watering place

foreign city of note. What disappoint-
ment Gerard Boynton might have felt
concerning his marriage he accepted
