New Ones That VIII weigh . Load
of $50 Tons.

Everybody Is perhaps aware that the
large scales upon which entire freight
cars with their loads of many tons are
weighed are considered immense. but
with all their immensely Uncle Sam
has gone all the railroads In this coun-
try one point better. says the Washing
ton Times. by installing at the navy
yard one of the largest pair Of scales
IN the country. This machine can out
weigh the largest railroad weighing
machine by fifty tons. and its results
must be accurate to the pound. while
railroad scales are considered good
enough IL they approach anywhere
near fifty pounds of being correct The
new scales are placed on the track go
ing south from the great gun shops
and Just opposite the forge shop. They
are forty-eight feet long and twelve
feet wide. and rest upon cement base
built upon long piles. The ground Is
somewhat low, and IL was necessary TO
utilize the services of pile drivers TO
secure a stable foundation. which Is
one of the requisites of an accurate
weighing machine. The cost was about
81 200.
Much OF it's fine and sensitive balanc-
NJ apparatus was manufactured for
special use in the new machine. and
the completed structure Is considered q
model and marvel OF modern mechan-
ism and American ingenuity.
la order 10 illustrate the accuracy or
the counterpoise of the machine To a
reporter the superintendent of the
yards and docks picked up half brick
that was lying on the ground near by
and tossed II on the huge platform Of
the machine. He then consulted the
long brass lever In the reading box
along the side of the scales and found
that the record OF the of the brickbat
was just pound.
Turning to the reporter he said that
the machine was so sensitive that It
could weigh anything from pound OF
sugar to trio of 13-inch naval guns,
and weigh them accurately, though IL
will probably exc out long existence
at the famous gunshop without having
the chance to weigh an ounce of the
former. The capacity OF the new
scales is $50 tons, or double the ca
pacity of the old scales. which has just
been replaced. A 13-inch gun weighs
about 55tons. and IL can be readily
seen that the new scales can weigh
two of the monsters, reclining on 4
forty eight foot track, and not tax its
capacity to any great extent. All the
new guns OF the navy yard will be
weighed upon these colossal scales.

TEXTS ON GOLD LEAF
Why Gold Leaf Il Packed Betweel

packed between printed sheets because
the slight indentations in the paper

so scarce where the gold leaf was
made that they had to cut up Bibles

He had noticed that the sheets of gold

printed paper, but paid no attention to
il until his eye caught Scriptural
text that had often puzzled him. IL
was the passage Iron sharpeneth iron;
so n man sharpeneth the countenance
OF his friend Then he saw that the
gold leaf was placed between cut-up
pages of the Bible. He seemed to
think that the sheets Of the Bible were
used by some religious manufactures
