TEMPERING STEEL.

Editor National Tribune: Will you
please give a good recipe for temper
ing steel through The National Trib-
ne?-P. v. Pierson, Stockholm, N. }.
There are innumerable recipes for
tempering steel. and every man who
works in making and repairing tools
secret very carefully. The following
are some of the directions given for
tempering:
Axes tempering of-The poll should
be heated in a charcoal fire until 1t is
little more than cherry red. Then
change ends and heat the bit to
cherry red Cool the bit only in cold
salt water. Immerse in the water at
once. otherwise there may be fire
crack in 1t that will spoil 1t.
Scour with brick; put the poll in the
fire endways. The temper should run
to a blue. Do not use blast.
Burglar and Drill-Proof Diamond
Chill.-Take one gallon urine. and add
to it one ounce of borax and one ounce
of salt
Cold Chisels. Tempering-Heat the
chisel at low heat. so as not to raise
q scale. Dip in a brine OF clear salt
and water. About one quart of salt to
10 quarts Of water Is the right proper
ton. Leave heat enough in the tool
to run the temper down to a required
hardness. which is shown by the pigeon
blue color. Take care to make the
ohisel stout enough that 1t won't spring
In the using.
Drill. Tempering of. Adrill heated
solution of chloride of zinc will drill
glass.
2. Heat the drill and rub in cyanide
OF potassium. The drill should be hot
enough to melt the potassium. Heat
again to a dark cherry red, and cool it
in very strong brine made with warm
soft water. Do not draw the temper.
The drill will look white. but be hard
and tough.
g. The drill should be heated to
cherry red in a charcoal fire, then
plunged in cold water to which a hand
full of salt is added. Make the drill
bright. Draw to a light strawcolor.
Tempering-Liquid.- Saltpeter. one
ounce: alum, pulverized, two teaspoon

gallons: never heat over a cherry red
nor draw any temper.

Aluminium has been used wherever
practicable in order to reduce the
weight. The principal parts were made
by specialists In various shops and the
whole assembled in Mr.. Vanderbilts
garage. Shaft drive is employed, with
the machine geared to 152 miles an
hour, but may be thrOttled down to
four miles an hour. In external ap-
pearance it follows the usual type Of
automobiles.
There were two non-refillable bottles
patented last week. If inventors would

save themselves a good deal of labor.

GEMS In CANADA.

George F. Kunz, the gem expert,
grows stronger in his belief that there
is somewhere in Canada a rich diamond
field, and that it may be found by trac-
ing up the lines from the small dia-
monds distributed over this country by
glaciers. Two great glaciers swept
across the continent; one came south
over Lake Superior, covering what are
now Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and
Ohio. The other glacier came down
from Labrador, moving to the south
west. DR.. KunZ believes that the first
OF these glaciers brought the diamonds
which have been found in the States
mentioned. About 200 diamonds have
been found in the United States, most
of them in Indiana, where three were
found recently in Morgan County, about
20 miles from Indianapolis. These are
likely to be all from the great field i'm
Canada. Some diamonds have also been
found in California, North Carolina,
Georgia and Alabama, which are likely
to have come from extinct volcanoes in
the mountains. The new railroad being
built from Quebec to Manitoba will
traverse much Of the country where it
Is expected the diamond field will be
found, and the opening of the road is
therefore waited with much interest.
One of the great railroads of the
country has been carefully testing the
conduct of its engine men i'm obsery-
ing signals. In the last six months
there was record of 1,417 tests, in
which the rules We're complied with
lab times. OF the four failures one
was that of the engineer of a freight
train, who ran past an automatic sig
nal. and the other three were failures
of freight engineers to make a full
stop on running over a torpedo. In
all Of the four cases the engine men
reduced sped. The road has not re-
ported what punishment, If any, was
inflicted upon those delinquents, and
the matter is one of interested discus
sion among railway managers Gen.

garo an automatic signal indicating

Davis Sentenced and Fined

Pendleton, Feb. 15.-"It is the SEN
tence of the court that you serve five
years in the state penitentiary and
pay a fine of $S400."
At 10 o'clock this morning the
above penalty was imposed by Judge
Ellis upon O. P. Davis, recently con-
victed Of having stolen $4,000 from the
county while serving as chief deputy
under Sheriff 7. d. Taylor. Within a
few days the prisoner will commence
serving the sentence imposed, for his
attorneys say that while an appeal
may be taken no certificate of probable
cause will be sought. and consequent
ly Davis will go to the penitentiary at
once.
Davis was brought to the court room
by Deputy A. 9. Funk, and after
a brief consultation with his attorneys
in an adjoining room presented him
self for sentence. When asked il be
had anything to say before sentence
was imposed, be replied, nothing at
all"
Judge Ellis then addressed him,
saying be had been tried by jury Of

hearing his guilt had been proven

Il. & N. Engineers Life.
In order to prevent permanent dis
ability of Engineer w. H. Swain as
the result of the injuries sustained in
the Bridal Veil disaster, the grating
process of placing new skin upon his
injured hands will probably be neces-
sary, says the Oregon Daily Journal.
To provide the skin it may be nee
cessary to call for volunteers to suffer
the removal of small portion of their
skin in order to assist the disabled
engineer. However, it is said by the
attending physician that the method
most likely to be employed will be tho
grating of skin from other portions Of
Mr.. Swain's body.
The report of the possibility of call
ing for volunteers to donate small parts
of their anatomy to the injured en-
gineer has spread quickly through the
ranks of the O. R. g N. employees in
Portland. The general offices of the
company have been flooded with ap-
plicants who are willing to undergo
the operation if they may assist the
engineer.
Swain is gradually recovering. AS
surances have been advanced by ply
sicians and surgeons who have attend
ed him that the injuries will not ter
inmate fatally, though it is feared
that the injury to his hands may re-
suit in their permanent disability.
In the engineers repeated attempts
to find the throttle and controlling
lever of his locomotive while envelop-
ed i'll the dense clouds of scalding
steam, the flesh was burned from his
hands and face. His continued efforts
to stop the train by trying to uncouple
the tubes Of the air brakes between
the tender and the mail car tore the
mutilated flesh from his hauds until
the bones were bare. AS soon as he
was moved to the hospital bis hands
were placed in splfnts in order to pre-
vent possible deformity.

court must and did concur, for the
evidence had been conclusive. How
ever, the occasion he declared a pecu-
liarly sad one in view of his five years
close acquaintance with the prisoner,
and be said he would be glad if the
duty had fallen upon another. How
ever, this was not to be.
During the lecture Davis stood i'm
passive and showed no particular
trace OF feeling when the penalty was
named. He Immediately left the
room in the custody Of Deputy Funk,
and returned to the Jail below.
Following the proceedings in the
court Col. J. H. Raley stated that no
effort will be made to secure a certifi-
cate Of probable cause for his client,
and consequently he will commence
upon his term at once. However, an
appeal to the supreme court may be
taken, though there seem to be more
or less uncertainty regarding this.
In view of the fact that Davis has
no money or property, the fine inn
posed will have little meaning, It will
not lengthen his prison term, but will
stand as judgment against him for
ten years, when the same will be out
lawed. The family home in this city

Hong Kong, has sent his resignation
as trustee of Illinois college, and at
length declared that he would not

trustees was in favor of accepting

magnates who are attempting to sub

The resignation was accepted.
''The ISSUE" writes Mr.. Bryan,

if Carnegie refuses, the same question
will likely arise If some other trust
