One of the sights of London is the
London Docks" so called. They are
really enormous underground cellars,
and those who receive the necessary
permit can travel mics between the
rows of casks containing port and
sherry, rum brandy, whisky and all
sorts of wines and spirits The fav-
ored visitor is often offered samples
of curious old vintages, but even if
he refuses them his case is apt to be
one to be remembered. Provided that
he fingers an lour or more wandering

spirit which escapes from the casks

made of the reason for stopping the
receptions and the cabineG women
came in for great deal of criticism.
They were called stingy and inhospi-

giving dinners at which the favors for
each guest cost more than did the re-

get revenge by remaining away from

AN INTERESTING TOOL.
Tho Automatic Screw Machine Does
Wonders,

The most highly developed OF ma
chine tools is the automatic screw ma
chine, and, like many another cOntriv-
ance for saving labor, its home is New
England. 1t is development Of the
ordinary steel-working lathe, the inter
mediate step being the monitor lathe,
in which the various cutting tools pro-
trude from the side of u steel turret
like thirteen-inch guns from a battle
ship turret. In the non-automauc
screw machine the turret is rcyolved
by the operator, so as to bring each
tool into play. just as the turret on the
old Monitor was revolved to bring one
gun after another into action. But in
the automatic machine the work Is
done without human guidance.
1t making screws, nuts, bolts. stud
and other small pieces that must be
turned, drilled or threaded for watches,
clocks, typewriters. electrical instri-
ments and other mechanism. all the op-
orator 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 forward into the
field of action. The turret advances
and puts its. first tool at work on the
end of the rod. When this tool has
done its task, the turret withdraws 1t,
turns and advances second tool into
action. Each cutting tool around the
turret has Its distinct work to perform
one cutting thread. another shaping
n head, another putting on point. an
other drilling hole. still another put
ting on n knurling. The turret auto
matically brings each of. perhaps. six
tools into action, and. when the work
is finished, the completed screw drops
into a pan, while the stock" is auto
matically fed forward to begin the com
pick operation again. A stream Of ma
chine oil pours continuously on the
work to carry away the heat, and the
little metal cuttings collect in u heap
under the machine.
