Machine and Hand Work

From the Engineering Magazine
There are many people now living who
can remember when joiner work, including
even flooring and ceiling was nearly all
planned by hand-a laborious process that
did not in most cases include thfcknessing,
and was consequently an inferior method,
except perhaps as to finished surfaces: and
even this exception is not to be made in
comparison with he fixed knife planning
machine employed in Europe, and, more
notably, with smoothing machines invented
in the United States.
Measured by manual energy, which may
be taken as $500 foCt-pounds, or one-thir-
teenth of a horse power, for a strong man,
1t would take 100 men to equal the planning
machine before named but there Is a diff
ference in favor of the machine in the
guidance and application of the cutting
edges that justifies the ratios before named.
These comparisons convey an idea of the
extraordinary economic results of machin-
cry attained in the principal processes of
wood conversion. They seem incredible,
but there are no longer means of compar-
ing because values are now adjusted to
the machine product alone, and hand work
no longer exists.

DISARMAMENT IN ARIZONA.
How 1t Was Accomplished by
Clever Fireman in TombstOue.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat
This newspaper talk about the cars

reminds me of something that happened
In tombstone, Ariz., when that place was
the hottest hamlet on the whole frontier.
There were two factions in town at the
time, and everybody predicted that a big
pitched battle was liable to occur at anv
moment The split grew out of an old
quarrel between the COWBOYS and certain
self-constituted authorities, and was COM
plicated by SO many side issues that nobody
knew exactly what it was about All that
was perfectly clear was that two good
SlZed crowds were zigzagging about town
waiting for some trife to start the fracas
Every member of both parties was armad

shootlhS irons for moment lest he be
taken at a Disadvantage In addition 10

WHAT SWEARING COST.
Curses md Oaths Used to Be "a Costly
Luxury.

From the Gentlemans Magazine.
In 1923 IL was enacted that any who
cursed or swore should be fined II pence
or, on non-payment, be set in the stocks
for twelve hours; or, If under twelve years
of age. should be whipped. In 1854 another
act was passed fixing gradations of pun
ishment and directing that young offenders
up to sixteen should be whipped and this
law was, up to 1898, read publicly in parish
churcnes, after morning prayer. four times
year. In 1145 there was a new statute by
which a kind of swear-scale was estab-
lished. whereupon a day 1aborer 4 common
soldier or sailor or seaman might utter one
oath for shilling: a person under the de-
gree of d gentleman for two shiiiings: a
person of or above that degree ior five shil-
lings, and the penalties were doubled after
one conviction, and thereafter trebled. Nor
were these eractments altogether idle.
Thus in 1861 one John Mason Scott a
mealman of Winslow, Bucks did pro-
fsnely curse one profane curse in given
words twenty several times repeated, 8"
and Ii cost him two and a half guineas:
two sovereigns for the curses at a form
apiece, and twelve and sixpence for the
prosecutor James King. Moreover, the

Rubber Not Waterproof.
From the Scientific American
rIhp tn hi

FROM the Scicullnc American.
The answer to this question is decidedly
no, although many people would not hes
ltate to reply yes. of course" We speak
of unvulcanized rubber. Since the rubber
has to be dried to be freed of it's moisture
we may priori conclude that it will abb
sorb moisture again. According to experi-
ments mentioned by L. Schulze in the
Gummi Zeitung, it does so with a certain
rapidly. Rolled rubber plates, which by
virtue of their treatment are in a some
what compressed condition, absorb from
eight to thirty-ive per cent of water in
TWO hours, when the water is heated to
about 100 degrees Fahrenheit. At increased
pressure the absorption takes places much
more readily; piece IF rubber kept in a
cylinder under pressure Of 40 pounds alb
sorbed twenty-five per cent of water in
i've minutes. Oils, of course, stop the
water. Vulcanized rubber remains dry but
not entirely so, and badly Vulcanized goods
deteriorate quickly, owing to this reason
Schulze kept a plate of the best Para rub
Der IN water at q temperature not exceed
ing 40 degrees Fahrenheit After two
months and half the rubber had become
a hopeless, sme;,ry mass. We see how
badly moisture affects rubber at tempera-
lures such as may occur in our climate
and we understand once more how much
the raw material may suffer during trans
port. The transport may indeed have more
to do with the condition and quality of
the rubber than the origin. The percentage
OF water should be ascertained, as thu
quantity of the sulphur and other ingre-
dients which We admiX to the rubber
should be settled according TO the percent
age of dry rubber. 1t was reported as a
curiosity some years ago that rubber bot
tie filled with water would gradually be-
come empty: We all know that rubber
turns whitish when long in contact with
water. but the real significance of the fact
is hardly recognized.

MAKING PERSIAN RUGS.
Women in the Mountains of Kurdis-
tan Weave Them Constantly.

From the Philadelphia Press.
Marvels of color and design are the car
pets that come to US from Persia; and it
is the artistic, after all, that keeps in touch
the east and the west. But as we wonder
at the geometrical designs and enjoy the
1uxuriant. softness, q thought is seldom
given to the women who sit all day at the
! loom weaving the precious fabric. The
| favorita design is the eght-pointed star,
over and over again appearing, large or
small, as the fancy of the weaver may
dictate There are not more than twenty
patterns in all. but in the colors and in the
borders the weayers exercise great care in
preserving originality.
The Rev. Yaroo Nessan, native of Per-
STA. is graduate of the Theological Semi
nary of New York, expecting soon to return
to his native land as a missionary. He
naturally takes much interest in the prin-
cipal industry of his country, and shows
photographs of two young women who are
expert rug weavers. These women live in
the mountains of kurdistan, one of the
! four chief places noted for the manufac-
ture of rugs, or, as the people of the east
call them, carpets. Like the Swiss watch
makers, the industry descends from father
10 son and from mother to daughter. The
making of rug Is often q family affair
dlHerent members working at different
'4lAlSs SSttII cOiOrS according 10 MS
own sweet will. This accounts for the
difference of design that the owner some
times deDrecates, but which is really the
| best evidence of the genuineness of the
carpet.
The many mistakes in the matching of
colors are due to the fact that if the wool
runs short the weaver will often replace
1t with another that looks as much like it
as possible.
The women of Persia are very pictur-
esque creatures. They are above the
medium height; they have the beautiful
| dark eyes so common in the east their
mouths are small and perfect 'Cupid's

Balloons in War,
From the Pail Mall Magazine.

rIoH tIle raj NAL Magazine.
During the expedition to the Soudan the
balloon corps were of immense service in
disclosing the position and tactics of the
enemy. In one particular instance the Sou
danese attacked General MacNeills zereba
(earthworks). established to protect the en-
virons of Suakim. near Tamai. The at
tack took place during the night, and be-
fore help could arrive most of the British
soldiers were hors de combat, although they
just managed to keep the zereba from fall
ing into the hands of the enemy. After
this Major Temple made several ascents
with his captive balloon and detected the
enemy in the bush preparing to make an
other attack, while the force in the zereba
thinking that they had quite retired, were
totally off guard.
Colonel Templer says that the sight of
the balloons has very demoralizing effect
upon the natives of these countries, since
they cannot find cover from them to hide
their movements, for even at night they are
easily detected from the balloons by means
of the powerful electric searchlights car
ried in the car. These natives are in the
habit of crying out that they cannot fight
against troops reinforced with young
mOOuS.'

AuStrfa's Newspaper Tax

Austria shares the doubtful honor with

Russia OF prohibiting the sale of Journals

policy of the opposition in parliament. how

tiou on inns point hopeless. at least within
any measurable space of time. The social
democratic party has, nevertheless taken
very pronounced position in the matter
and is agitating for an abolition of the
OBNOXIOUS laws. At the head of the present
movement are many compositors, who fear
tnat the number of the employed will he
considerably reduced by the pending in
PRODUCTION of composing machines unless
IN the meantime the existing tax is re-

1t is a noteworthy feature of the present
agitation that paper manufacturers are
