wristlets are only pair of leather
straps buckled on tightly. but the wire
loops which are attached to them have
been designed to more than make up
the difference between the two kinds
OF manacles When these have been
put in place over the fingers and
thumbs the prisoner is unable to close
his hands. and can, therefore, obtain
no grip on either the straps or any
article with which to fight. The loops
are of steel, possessing great strength,
and yet of such light eight that
the whole outfit does no WEIGH as
much as a pair of steel wrist lets of the
pattern in common use. The officer
may need assistance to place these
handouts on his man, but when they
are once in place he need have little
fear OF his ability to control the

Graphite Prevents Boiler Scala.

1t is said that a small quantity Of
graphite mixed with water used in
boilers will prevent scale forming.
and If scale is already in the boiler
the graphite will penetrate the old
scale and decompose It, so that II will
drop to the bottom. The discovery
that graphite is a water softener was
made by mining company in Mexico,
which used water slightly colored by
graphite, and, noticing that their boil.
er kept free from scale, came to the
conclusion that the graphite acted as
the preventive.
