TOOL THAT ALMOST TALKS
Yet Its Complicated Mechanism Can
Be Tended by a Girl.

Yet Its Complicated Mechanism Can
Be Tended by q Girl.
The most highly developed of ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine, and, like many another con-
trivance for saving labor, its home is
New England. 1t is a development Of
the ordinary steel working lathe, the
intermediate step being the monitor
lathe, in which the various cutting
tools protrude from the side Of a steel
turret like thirteen inch guns from a
battleship turret. In the nonautomatic
screw machine the turret is revolved
by the operator so as to bring each tool
into play, just as the turret on the old
Monitor was revolyed to bring one gun
after another into action. But in the
automatic machine the work is done
without human guidance.
In making screws, nuts, bolts, studs
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for watches,
clocks, typewriters, electrical instru-
ments and other mechanisms all the
operator has to do is to feed the
'stock"-a long, thin rod Of steel or
brass-to the machine. The feeding
mechanism carries the rod slowly for
ward into the field of action. The tur-
ret advances and puts it's first tool at
work on the end of the rod. When this
tool has done its task, the turret with
draws it, turns and advances a second
tool into action. Each cutting tool
around the turret has its distinct work
to perform-one cutting a thread, an
other shaping a head, another putting
on a point, another drilling a hole, still
another putting on knurling. The tur-
ret automatically brings each OF per-
haps six tools into action, and when
the work is finished the completed
screw drops into a pan, while the
"stock" is automatically fed forward
to begin the complex operation again.
A stream Of machine oil pours contin-
uousiy on the work to carry away the
heat, and the little metal cuttings col
lect in a heap under the machine.
Hour after hour this wonderful au.
tomaton goes through it's cycle Of oper.
atoms, the turret clicking every mo-
ment as it brings a new tool forward.
Small brass pieces, on which but one
tool cuts, are dropped at the rate of
four a second. Large screws of com
plicated design upon which a whole
turretful of tools must work are cut
from a steel rod at the rate of one or
two a minute. So perfectly are these
screw machines constructed that an I'm
skilled workman can operate a row of
them. ALI he is required to do is to KEEP
them fed with "stock." In some shops
girls tend the machines.-Success.

TURTLE MOUNTAIN CYCLONE.

TURTLE MOUNTAIN CYCLONE.
Several persons were killed and in
jured in a cyclone near Rolla recently,
which is thus described by the Turtle
Mountain Star:
Out on the claim of VIM. Bateson,
which lies six miles east and two miles
north of Rolla, there was presented a
scene of desolation and death which
no n living in this part of the state
had eve before witnessed or. will ever
care to see again. The strongly built
shack which stood On Mr.. 'Bateson's
claim was literally blown to pieces, the
scattered fragments covering more
than an acre of ground. Mr.. Bateson
and family were temporarily absent,
but the house was occupied by Mrs.
John Akey and three children, who had
arrived here only a few days before
from C%rookston, MINI. Mr.. Akey had
come with them, but had returned to
Crookston to settle up some business
matters. Mr.. Bateson kindly CON
senred to allow the family to live in the
shack until their goods could arrive
and they could secure rooms in Rolla.
1t was about 5 O'Clock in the even
ing before anyone visited the place.
The first to arrive was a young son of
Peter Hanson, a neighbor, who was at
tracted by the constant cry of Roy
Akey, a boy Of 4, who, after the storm,
had hidden in the stable. r. J. Lock
lin and VIM. Bateson were next to az
rive. They found the baby, a boy /
sear old, dead or the prairie with the
back OF its head crushed by a timber
which lay across its neck. Grace. a
girl OF 9, was picked up in an uncon-
seious condition with her right leg
broken and her face and body horribly
bruised. She5i s still living, but there
is no hope of her recovery. Mrs. Akey
was found under the caI-roof OF the
shack about three rods distant from
the place where the house had stood
She had been pinioned there more than
two hours. and was horribly bruised
and suffered intense pain. Her back
wa severely injured, and, as we write,
her condition is considered critical.
