There are few more useful things
In lathe work than the air jets, which,
strange to say, are used for polishing
purposes instead of water. In turning
soft steel shafting it is customary to
to use water to which a certain per-
centage of sal soda has been added,
in order that the water may not rust
the finished work, and with a keen
tool of the proper temper and wide
enough cutting edge to cover h feed,
a very smooth and shining surface
can be produced. BY using a small
air jet--that is, air issuing from an
orifce of about 1-16th of an inch in
d~iameter-the work can be finished
very much the anne as if water Is
used. A smooth surface will be pro-
duced, with this important difference,
that the tool will not crowd, and con-
s%equently the shaft Will be nearer
true and straight when using a COM
pressed air jet than when using water.
The same size air jet may be used
to advantage at different places
around the shop. 1t is excellent for
cleaning off benches and machines,
and is much to be preferred to the
common dust brush used for this
purpose. 1t is also very convenient
at the drill press for blowing out the
chips, In drilling and tapping bottom
h0lna.

photographs by Electric Light.

One of the drawbacks which has mil
itated. against the success Of the are
light in photography is the difficulty
of neutralizing the harshness of CON
tras st in the lights and shadows. With
the use of the incandeScent lamp this
difficulty has been overcome ard the
manipulation of units of light has been
30 much improved as to virtually inau
gurate a new system of photography.
A demonstration of a new apparatus
for this purpose has been given In Ed
inburgh. The invention consists of a
series of twenty incandescent lamps
of acknowledgement each, strung
| around the inner edge of an umbrella
| shaped frame, which is covered with
| white silk. This frame is fastened by
a universal joint to a beam like that of
a steelyard, which runs on rails sus-
| pended from the roof, and has also a
universal joint, so that. with a touch
Of the hand the light can be run from
| one end of the studio to the other n
| adjusted at any angle. The light is
under perfect control. and the switch
ing devices are so arraI ged that any
candle-power, up to 1000, can instant
ly be turned on. In the negatives,
which were taken by way of illustrat-
ing the method, the shadows were in
some cases further toned down by ad-
tusting silk screens between the light
and the sitter. The finished pictures
were as soft and delicate as any day
light photographs,

There is more than one food
which will cause the body tc
increase in weight. A free
supply of sugar will do this;
so will the starchy foods;
cream, and some other fats.
But to become fleshy, and yet
remain in poor health, is not
what you want. Cod-liver oil
increases the weight because
it is a fat-producing food. But
it does far more than this. 1t

MATE Is QUITE SCARCE.
1t is n South American Tea and Few
Dealers Know 1t.

DealeTs NheNV ~.
"Mate?" repeated a tea dealer a
while ago. Never heard of it. What
is it,"
"A tea grown in South America, and
1t is drunk more than Chinese tea by
those people, was the answer of the
man who asked for the article.
This conversation was repeated in a
dozen offices, till at last, concluding
that the tea trade knew nothing of it,
the man betook himself to the Uruguay
consulate. A man was found there
who for years had resided in the
Parana region, and who, when told of
the quest, laughed. and pulling a lit
tie bag from under a table, said:
Il am not surprised. | guess this
bag represents the sum total of mat
in this part Of the city. There is no
trade in it, for only a few people who
have lived in South America and have
become attached to the tea buy small
quantities for their own use"
He offered the bag. 1t contained
perhaps twenty pounds of leaves
ground coarse. of a dead green color
having no perceptible smell, and of O
slightly bitter taste.
Il got this" he went on, partly fol-
myself and partly to SEM to the At,
lanta exposition. And you know we
cannot infuse the tea as we do Chi
nese; it must he drunk boiling hot-not
allowed to stand-else it becomes in,
sipid. So We have these cups and
tubes and he took from his desk
wood shell cup like II gourd, holding
a scant half-plnt. and Il tube about g
foot long. Mate costs about > cents 9

The Electrical Demand for Copper

The Electrical Demand for Copper.
Every new development of electricity
adds, it would seem, to the demand for
copper, but 1t Is only lately that in
biography a very large use has been
found for the metal, as the majority of
the circuits hitherto have been made OF
iron wire. An instance Of a new de-
mand for the metal which had hitherto
been hardly suspected is found in the
last report of the Western Union Tele-
graph company. 1t was there stated
that the company, during the year end
ing June, 1895, added to its wife
lengths a net length of 1859 miles,
and that over 10000 miles of the new
wire is Of copper. Further, the compa-
ny has adopted the policy of replacing
all defective iron wires with copper,
the intention being to use that metal
alone on all the principal lines hereaf-
ter. The advantages Of saving In
weight, increased capacity for electric
al transmission and diminished liability
to interruption from atmospheric con-
ditions are sufficient to make the COP
per wires, more economical in the end,
Notwithstanding their greater first cost.
The decision has been assisted, also,
by the fact that the improvements in
processes for drawing copper wire have
enabled makers to furnish material
well adapted for telegraphic use. The
size of copper used for telegraphic lines
is generally No. 8 or 10 B and S, weigh
ing about 100 pounds to the mile. This
would require, for 10000 miles, about
76O tons of copper, an amount not so
important in itself, but as indicating q
tendency to increased demand.

When You Are a Guest.

In an article on Some Social Graces,"
Ruth Ashmore in January Ladies'
Home Journal writes of the guest and
host, etiquette of invitations, of the
table, wedding customs and various
minor social points. To the woman
who is the gest at a friends
home she thus advises: eff your visit
is to be one of several days or weeks
you must make your hostess, if she has
not been wise enough to state it in her
invitation, understand in your answer
not only exactly what time and hour
when you will arrive, but exactly the
day and hour when you will leave, and
you will show great wisdom if, no mat
ter how much you are enjoying your
self, you refuse to p~rolong your visit.
During your stay you must find every
thing pleasant that your hostess ar
ranges for you. Ask no special service
of a servant. You must neither expect
nor ask that your laundry be done in
the house, and you must take great
care not to leave the dainty toilet table
or th~ pretty room in disorder. After
your eturn to your home you should
write a letter to the lady you have
been visiting, thanking her for all the
kindness she has shown you, and SEM
ing your regards to the members of her
household"
