Hardening an ordinary drill In sui
phuIic acid, states the English Me-
chanic, makes an edge that will cut
tempered steel or facilitate cutting
hard rock The acid should be poured
into a fat-bottomed vessel to depth
of about one-eighth of an inch. The
point of the drill is heated to dull
cherry red, and dipped in the acid to
that depth. This makes the point
extremely hard, while the remainder
remains soft. If the point breaks. re-
harden. but with little less acid in

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory If the right
starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-

hidden behind paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
'ng quality of the goods. This trou-
lie can be entirely overcome by using

pie at the time. Within few minutes al

was coming from the direction OF Paw
tucket. According to spectators 1t was
not travelling at an extremely rapid
pace. 1t was. however, going too fast TO

avoid the horse and carriage the wheels
of the machine mounted the sidewalk as
IL passed around the carriage.

Just reached the corner and the car crash
