ODDITIES OF MACHINERY.
Some Singular Actions of Metals and
Parts That Puzzle Even Spe-
cialists in Mechanics.

Some of the wonders Of machinery
such as the erratic operation OF certain
engines at particular times, are little
understood, even by practical machin-
lists, says a journal of the trade
Everyday things which are perfect
ly familiar to mechanics of one class
are totally unintelligible to the work
man in another branch. Men who have
worked a lifetime in fashioning cast
iron under the lathe are greatly sur
prised on learning that the same ma
terial, when employed in the heating
pipes Of a blast furnace stove, grows
from six inches to a foot in length from
constant use And the furnace man is
equally unprepared to hear that the core
bars used for casting pipes lose as much
as three inches In casting 20 or 30
pieces.
In practice. for instance. piston rod
packing of easy fitting babbit bushing
is used. When these bushes become
sufficiently worn to leak, we close
them up by COMPRISING them in the wa
ter cylinder OF a hydraulic press. In
this operation a mandrel somewhat
Smaller than the piston rod is put inside
and with all the pressure We can bring

compress the bush so as TO grasp the
mandrei dght. and yet occasionally We
have had these bushes shut down while
the engine was running so as to grasp
the piston rod as If gripped in wise

Secret Of Death euloh.

Death gulch. in the Yellowstone

floors or shelves one above another.
It was discovered in 1883. when the
bodies Of FIVE bears. one elk, many
small mammals and numerous insects
we're found lying on the bottom. Sub
sequent visitors have also seen many
dead animals in the guleh, and one
counted no less than seven bears. The
place where these victims are found is
a level shelf about 20 feet long. Last
summer DR.. F. W. Traphagen visited
the spot with apparatus designed to
analyze the air. He found outlets in
the rock at the sides, from which

Cruelty to Song Birds.

Probably not one man in a million
outside the initiated knows that many
of the birds which compete for singing
prizes are blind that the men who own
them have passed red-hot skewer
across their retina and destroyed their
sight forever. The reason for doing so
is that the birds, hearing the notes Of
others which they cannot see, imagine
themselves in the fields again, and ring
out their challenges to supposititious
lords Of equally visionary glade and dell.

"When the butter won't
come put a penny in the
churn," is an old time dairy
proverb. 1t often seems to
work though no one has ever
told why.
When mothers are worried
because the children do not
gain strength and flesh we
say give them SCOTS Emul-
sion.
1t is like the penny in the
milk because it works and
because there is something
astonishing about it.
SCOTS Emulsion is simply
a milk Of pure cod liver OF.
with some bypophosphite:
especially prepared for delicatt
stomachs.
Children take to it naturally
because they like the taste
and the remedy takes just al
naturally to the children be
cause it is so perfectly adapted
to their wants.
For all weak and pale anC
thin children SCOTS Emulsion
is the most satisfactory treat
ment.
