"A dispatch from Hamilton, o., says:
John Pieper, a toolmaker of this city,
to-day gave a public exhibition of
new process he has invented for tenn
pering steel. 1t particularly applies to
edged tools and promises to revolution
iZe the cutlery trade. A razor hard
ened by Pieper's process shaved long
splinters off a wire nail and was i'm
mediately afterward used for shaving.
Its edge was not damaged at all A
keen butcher knife was driven through
a quarter-inch of common steel. Capt.
talists will back Pieper in forming
! company for the manufacture of knives
and raZors.

Lieut.. Ture of the French Navy
has after much study devised plan
for a ship the passengers on which
WILL he imagineS, be proof against sea-
sickness He has caught the idea from
the motion of a swing. AS a general
! rule vessels are only set rolling from
ten to FIFTEEN seconds at time, and as
his would have a regular swing or
| twenty-five seconds he calculates that
the effect of the waves would thus be
counteracted NJ. lures model ship
would be of about 5000 tons burden,
| and would sail at a speed of nineteen
| knots. All the cabins would be well
out of the water, as they would be con-
structed on a deck more than thirty
| feet above the sea level.
The way in which billiard playing
| is simplified by the device of a Mum
ich professor has astonished those who
| have witnessed the test, says the
American Inventor THE sides of an
| ordinary billiard table are provided
! with six mirrors one or more of which
| can be turned down when a play is
| made, and the advantage rests in the
| fact that any image is reflected in the
same angle in which it falls on the
mirror, just as the billiard ball re-
bounds from the cushion in the same
| angle as that of striking. The mirror
shows at once the different ways in
| which a shot can be made. Even the
| tryo is said to make difficult indirect
| shots as readily as direct ones, and
the intricacies of the game are quick
| ly conquered by anybody"
At a recent test in Germany of the
Pollak-Virag system of telegraphy q
speed of so, 900 words an hour was at
tanned. In transmitting, this system,
like other fast systems, uses a strip Of
paper previously punched with holes
representing dots and dashes. The most
novel feature of the system is the
electric impulses cause a thin strip of
metal, resembling a telephone dia-
phragm, to vibrate, and thus move a
tiny mirror attached thereto. A slender
beam of light from an incandescent
light falls upon the mirror, and is re-
fected thence TO a strip of photo
graphically sensitive paper, which is
steadily unrolled by clockwork when
messages come. Chemicals for "devel-
opment'' being applied, the paper ex-
hibits a continuous dark line, with up
ward projections for 6ashes and down
ward ones for dots. The message must
then be deciphered and the translation
must be written out.
