fective in the slightest degree the .revo-
lutlons will decrease in number and the
meter fall short in it's measurements, a
result which, while it may be satisfac-
tory to the consumer, will not please the
ELECTRICAL ga company furnishing the sup
ply: There are few meters, it is. said,
which do not fall a trife short in their
registering and the consumer as a rule
gets his supply Of electricity at dis
count which is more or less material.
It is owing to this fact that from the
beginning the electrical companies
have been making experiments to find
the best material for use in the matter
i. e., the. hardest and smoothest surface
upon which the pivot Of the meter may
revolve. Agate was tried at first, but
roughened Immediately, and steel was
found to be little, better. Then the sap
phire came into use, the tiny cups being
formed Of it. Most Of the gems used in
the meters in Minneapolis are sapphires,
but there are hundreds of diamonds in
meters where sapphires have been worn
away. The life of a sapphire is barely a
year, with the constant mechanical ac-
tion upon it, and it is necessary to re-
months and often in less time, and a
new pivot is put in each time the jewel
is renewed. A diamond is harder than
a sapphire and experiments have
proved them to be more satisfactory,
the only difficulty being that, in the
first place, they could not be made in
cup shape because it was said that a
concave diamond could not be polished.
Diamonds have been used for only
about two years, and until the last
six months have been almost prohibit
tory in price. The diamond cups as
they come from the stone cutters cost
So, while the rough diamond would be
worth only about 40 cents. The sap
phires cost only about 35 cents cup.
The length Of, life Of a DIAMOND in
use in mechanical instrument has not
yet been determined. The surface of a
jewel in a fine chronometer will show
a faint haze after couple of years

machine guns at Fort Smelling this
year, instead Of the usual perfunctory
performance, the brightest men in the
regiment sought an opportunity to take
part in it. The senior non commits
