Modern Goats of Arms.

Many people associate chain armor shirts and mail with medieval times. and do not suppose for a minute that any such suits are made today, but such is the case. This mail armor is manufactured by a firm in Walsall, England, who supply the English Gov ernment with mail chain jackets for use in India, Central and South Ameri- ca, etc. These mail jackets, which weigh from fifteen to eighteen pounds. are worn by army officers. and are made of steel rings, three-eights of an inch in diameter It takes about 5000 rings to make square foot of armor.

ODD NAMES IN MECHANICS
Foreigners Have Hard Work Translatins
 some English Words.


 Some English Words.
 The English language has been en. riehed by many words drawn from other tongues to facilitate direct and comprehensive expression on all sub- Jects.
 Within the language itself a similar principle has prevailed, and old words of Well-estabIished meaning have been adopted in the scIences and arts to designate certain things or operations that seemed to resemble those from which the names were taken. In their new relations these words have strictly technical meanings.
 Their suitability is often obvious enough in English, but they can rarely be rendered in their exact technical sense into their actual equivalents in foreign tongues.
 A number of words drawn from the animal kingdom for use in the mechan- ie arts are enumerated by a writer in Straps and Buckles. The maehinlst employs q dog on h-s lathe; he takes a hog cut, if the tool will stand it; the castings are made from pigs of iron, which in turn were fed from sow.
 " OIh IS oel upUu d uUISG OE 0utAz and punched or bent by convenient bear Hosting is done by | crab, and q convenient eat is a part of the outfit of a shop crane, and l kit Of tools is ever on hand.
 A crow helps 10 sraighten work, q jack to llt it a mule pulley aids in driving machinery that a donkey en- zine turns. A fish connects parts end to end, or strengthens broken beam: shells are used all over; worm does powerful but quiet work.
 A cock shuts off the water one kind of a ram raises it and another does heavy work. \ printing press has q fy; the first locomotives had a grass hopper valve motion and drive and butterfly valves are common.
 Herring-hone gears are used by the best builders; turtles It printing press cylinders and HY wheels are running al over the world. In drilling, even an old man is called into service and doctors prevent faulty lathe work.

Some points to consider --
There are ONE things about the new styles Ill
Overcoats that are puzzling to the average make
in-a-hurry manufacturer. So they are lacking IN
most ready-to-wear Overcoats-but correctly pres
ent in ours.
The new back and the shoulder are most
noticeable. II they cut right they are hand
some effects If they are not they are botches.
The shears in ordinary hands cannot accomplish
them. It's this keeping right along with fashion
that is one OF the popularizing features of Saks-
made Clothing Fit Reform is another achieve
ment of mportance-developed since last year.
But none of these factors of satisfaction
taken into price account. Only quality rules that.
The cheapest Coat in stock must be as fashionable
and fit as we'll as the costliest.
That's Saks-ism.
