ROLLER BEARINGS.
Their Use In Various Kinds of Machinery
Rapidly and Steadily Increasing.

1t Is reasonable to believe that the mod
ern roller bearing is capable of far higher
speeds than ordinary journals, without I'M
due wear or danger of heating and without
the necessity of those elaborate devices for
supplying u continuous stream of oil which
present practice frequently demands, for
the roller bearing requires but little lubri-
cation under severe conditions of service
and none ut all when the speed is very
slow, as in trucks and hand cars.
with so much to commend them it NAV
be asked, why are not roller bearings in
more general use on machinery?" In re-
ply IT must be stated that their use is rap
idly and steadily increasing. The mechan-
ical world has never been so alive TO their
advantages as it is today, and new appli-
cations are constantly being discovered. IL
lsa matter of regret that lack of space for
bids n detailed description of more of these.
Tor even now the variety of uses to which
they have been put and the benefits accru-
ing from their application are not general
ly understood.
Again, the question of price operates to
retard their wide adoption. 1t is compara-
lively easy TO introduce an improved device
at the same price as that at which its COM
petitor is sold, but it is not so easy to con.
'ihce 70 buyer that the Improvement war
rants the payment Of u higher price. Above
all, however, the roller bearing has to
overcome the strong prejudice which "a
long and hitherto uninterrupted record of
failures has naturally raised against it. Old
mechanics say:
Yes, we tried roller bearings 25 years
ago. They didn't work.
10 them this may be sufficient evidence
/, L.. a
moment that the world, especially the
mechanical world, has taken enormous
strides forward since then; that 20 years
ago it was predicted that the telephone
would never be more than toy; that few
mechanical devices are perfected in a day.
ana that the problem of successful me-
chanicai flight, though it has at least as
many failures charged against it as have
roller bearings, is still able to command
the Efforts of some of the best engineers

ANGElENE'S LOVERS.
They Fell Out and Fought and Made Lots
of Trouble.

Rivalry between Henry Berger and
Ernest OFT of Chicago for the affections
of Miss Angelene Gemache resulted in
combat on the doorstep of the young
woman's home shortly after midnight
on recent morning.
Neither of the two men is over 90
years of age, and Miss Gemache is not
yet of age. Berger was sitting on the
Gemache veranda. OFT, who lives on
Armour avenue, passed the house and
was invited to come in by Angelene.
Berger and OFT entered into a heated
argument and exchanged blows. Berger
drew a penknife and plunged the blade
twice into OTIS breast. Mrs. Gemache
tried to separate the men, whereupon
Berger seized a chair and dealt her a
blow upon the head. knocking her down.
Angelene ran into the house TO summon
her father and Berger fled Berger has
not been found by the police. Chicago

SHOE EYsLETs.
One Of the Comparatively Few Things
That Are Sold by the Million.

one OF the comparatively Few Things
That Are Sold by the Million.
There are many things that are sold by
the gross, and not a few that are sold by
the thousand, but there are not many that
are sold by the million. Among the things
| that are SO sold however, are shoe cyclets.
Shoe oyelcts are made of brass by ma
chimes whose operation is almost entirely
automatic. Three or four machines are re-
quired to produce the eyelet i'm the form in
which it is sold, the brass being fed into
the first machine in thin, fiat strips. As
sold TO the shoe manufactures the eyelet is
turned down at one end only. The eyelets
look as much as anything like so many
little bats with narrow brims and without
any tops in the crowns The upper end of
the crown, which is like the end of a little
cylinder, is put through the eyelet hole in
the shoe, the finished brim or flange of the
eyelet resting against the leather upon the
outside. After the eyelet has thus been put
in place its inner end is turned down up
on the leather by machine made for that
purpose In the manufacture of the eyelets
number of very slight vertical indenta-
tions are made at equal distances apart in
the outside of the oyelet around the smooth,
straight END. When the shoe machine
smashes down the inner side of the eyelet,
the metal parts at these indentations and
is spread uniformly, thus giving it Sc
cure hold.
EyClcts are made of various sizes in
diameter and of various lengths of shank
or cylinder, according TO the thickness of
the material with which they are to be
used, and after they come from the ma
chimes they are finished in great variety.
Some are finished white--these are silver
plated; some are gilt finished and some
are coppered. Eyelets are japanned in
black or in various shades of russell; they
are, in fact, made in any size and of any
color that may be desired. Sooner or later
the japanning wears off, exposing the
brass. There are now made shoe eyeets
that are covered with celluloid, which keep
their color, but these are much more ex-
pensive than the kinds commonly used.
Shoe eyelets are packed in boxes con-
tanning 1000, 10000, 100, 600, 25O, eco and
5CO,OO each. Eyelets of the kinds most
commonly used are sold, according to sizes
and styles, at prices ranging from $50 to
Sl35 per 200, 600. Some of the celluloid
covered eyelets sell for as much as $500
per 200, 900.
The sale of shoe eyelets depends, of
course, somewhat uron the prevailing
styie vi snoe. Nnen button shoes are more |
generally worn, not so many shoe cyelets |
are sold, but the number sold is always |
very large.
Eyclets are made for n wide variety of |
uses, up to the great oyelcts that are sewed |
into the corners of sails, through which |
the sail is dashed TO the end of the boom or !
yard Taking them all together, the num- !
Der is enormous. OF shoe eyelets alone |
there are sold in this country some thou |
sands of millions annually. New York I
