osmEnT TESTING MACHINE.
GRADUATED LEVERS FOR TRY
ING THE TENSILE AND COM
IRRESISTIBLE STRENGTH.

IRRESISTIBLE STRENGTH.
The city engineers Office has new
and delicate machine. 1t is so delicate
that special apartment and a case
have been built to keep it from harm.
1t Is not to be exposed to dust and CO
rosion from the air, nor to be liable
TO injury from careless visitors who
frequent the office.
This machine is an apparatus for
testing the strength OF cement. 1t is
called Fairbanks cement testing ma
chine. 1t determines the relative
strength OF various kinds Of cement
and of various mixtures of cement
with sand. Both pure and mixed ce-
ment are used by the city in many
ways. Cement is employed chiefly for
foundation laying sewers and for
bridge piers. In order to obtain the
best results the city engineer must
know it's compressible and tensile
strength. There is no way to tess,
large blocks. hence small blocks, call
ed biquetteS are moulded so that the
part to be tested is precisely n square
inch. The strength of the materials
can be ascertained with reasonable ac-
curacy from that square inch as q unit
of measure.
The machine is in the form OF scales
with double balances. The arms are
graduated brass levers, with notches
and numbers. indicating on one the
amount of weight or pressure exerted:
the other indicates The number OF
pounds to the square inch at which
that pressure was effective in breaking
the briquette.
The range of the tensile strength of
pure cement Is between $50 and 600
pounds to the square inch The bril-
Quctte is put into the jaws OF the APP
paratus made for the purpose, then
the reservoir of small lead shot is OPEN
ed, so that relatively an immense pow
or is eXerted gradually till the bri-
quote breaks. Then the shot is weigh
cd and the graduated scale gives the
strength per square inch as " unit
That multiplied gives the strength of
that cement for any given number of
yards.
The powdered cement is used hero in
lieu OF natural stone. 1t hardens equal
ly in damp or dry places. 1t remains
hard despite the action OF water or the
sun. AS cemcn; is expensive tho use OF
1t Is restricted as much as possible by
employing sand. brick and broken
stone with 1t. 1t becomes hard with
any OF those materials. and, ii proper
ly mixed and applied. constitutes n
solid mass as strong as the tensile
strength or the compressibie resistance
of so much stone. 1t has the advan-
tiSe of not having Joints. II IS i'm a
solid mass. If properly laid 1t makes
a basement that excludes water or u
foundation that resists Il greater pres
sure and supports as great n weight of
superstructure as will the best quality
of stone.
This Fairbanks cement tester is to
enable the city engineer to test every
barrel OF cement as to quality and to
be absolutely sure that he is buying
something more than dust when the
city pays ESQ n barrel for something
that looks like dark gray flour. The
price OF the tester. about 500 is mere
bagatelle rs compared with what the
city might lose in buying inferior or
adulteratcd cement.

Arlington, Minn., Aug. %. Five
people are dead and sixth is serious
ly wounded as the result of a horrible
ira gedy which took place early Mon
day morning on the farm of Theodore
Wallart, three miles from here. Wall
art is charged with the crime.
cessation of hostilities received yester-
art, AZ years old Gustav Stanbors, 20;
Helena Stanbors, 16; Anne Stanbors,
l3; Reinold Stanbors, ~. Injured, Otto
Stanbors, II. Domestic troubles caused
the crime.
During Saturday Wallart was in the
woods practicing with revolver. In
the evening he went to the farm, en-
tering the house by means of one OF
the windows at about 1 o'clock. His
! wife was alarmed by the noise made
on his entry and had started up from
her bed, but fell back with a fatal
wound, being afterward found dead
on the bed. One child was killed and
thrown on the lounge. The daughters
dead body was afterward found on
the floor of her bedroom, and the boys
were stabbed in their room. After
committing the horrible butchery
Wallart went into the barn and set
fire to the stables. Nine horses were
|
burned. He then took to the woods
and thus far no trace Of him has been
found.
The case against Wallart rests in
part upon the testimony of a boy
named Joel, the son of a neighbor. He
says he saw Wallart leave the house.
Joel found the boy, Otto Stanbors,
who was stabbed, and took him home.
Otto will recover. All in the house
were killed except Otto and Theresa
Osteinor, a little girl who was visiting
with the Wallarts. The children killed
were all the children of Mrs. Wallart
by former marriage. Domestic
trouble is given as the cause of the
crime. Wallart and his wife for some
time have been separated. Sheriff
Gaske, with posse from Henderson,
is in search of Wallart.

Milwaukee, Aug. pa special from
Madison says that William D. Evans
,f Prairie du Chen last night tele-
Eraphed Gov. Scofield appealing for
troops to protect the citizens of Prairie
du Chen from the members Of wild
West show. Mr.. Evans telegram was

cunning the town. Cannot find mayor;
Later the following telegram was re-
ceived: "Send militia; Buffalo BilPs
men in riot with citizens.
&c. B. Thomas, District Attorney"
Later Mr.. Evans telegraphed to hold
the soldiers until further notice. Mr..
Thomas telegraphed that he did not
sign the dispatch sent in his name.
Gov. Scofield is at Camp Douglass
and the messages were forwarded to
him by Col. Starkey, the governors
secretary. Before any action could be
taken, however, the second message
from Mr.. Evans came and ended the
matter for the night.
A Sentinel special from Prairie du
Chen says: Thomas Vavra. special
