which will fit any and every one of
these holes. In the accompanying il
lustration We illustrate what is prob
ably the simplest form of plug adapt
ed to fit the holes. The plug as shown
at A is in the form of chisel point.
If laid on its side, it will fit the square
hole B. The oblong hole c is closed
by inserting the sharp end of the plug
into it. The circular end of the plug
fits the hole D, and if the plug be
turned on it's side at right angles to
its position at B, it will fit the triangu-

Autos DESTROYING Roads.

The Massachusetts automobile traf-
fic is so heavy that it has caused mark
ed wear on the state highways, and
the commission having charge of these
roads states in its last annual report
that the destructive effect is extra
ordinary" Practically all the main
roads are thus affected. 1t has been
noticed that the binder is swept from
the road, and the stone from u to IL
inch in size has been disturbed, in
some cases standing on the surface,
and in other cases being left in wind
rows along the roadside. The effect of
wear of this sort is such that the COM
mission is satisfied a material change
in the methods of maintaining stone
roads must be made. The report indi-
Gates that the commission believes
some kind of treatment with tar will
probably be successful.

Hydroiuoric acid as a cleansing
agent for castings has been in general
use but a short time, being treated a
few years ago as a secret process.
Formulae for the acid containing sup
erfuous and innocuous ingredients to
mystify the purchaser have been sold
for considerable sums. Anything used
in connection with this pickle" aside
from the hydrofluoric acid and water,
is wholly unnecessary, the usual for
mula being one part of acid to ten of
water. In adding water, however, care
should be taken to know the strength
of the acid. The idea is to get dip
that will remove the sand perfectly
and quickly, the operation requiring
10 to Is minutes.

Jets of Water Dug Out a Sort of Ditch.

covering and stripping the wreck of
as much armament as possible. The
hull lay on one side, with the keel
on a horizontal and the first steps
were to turn the ship over and bring
it on it's keel. This was done with
jets of water forced under one size,
which dug out sort of ditch into
which the hull gradually slid until at
last it was in a vertical position. The
big guns were then hoisted Usual
methods of closing the holes failed
and shell or outer vessel inclosing
the wreck had to be constructed to
completely envelop it. Three large
pumps, built in Japan for the special
purpose and capable of pumping $500
tons of water per hour were installed
on big floats over the wreck and con-
nected TO auxiliary vessels for steam
supply. On August s, 1906, an un-
usually high tide was running and the
effort was made. In a short time the
hull had reached the surface and re-
pairs were made in hull and machin-
cry which permitted the extraordinary
feat of sailing to a Japanese port IN
der its own steam and power.
In the work were engaged, in addi-
hon to the officers and divers, about
300 japanese naval mechanics and as
many Korean helpers. The cost, in
Guiding the three big pumps, was

RAISING THE VARYAG.
The Remarkable Success of Japanese
Engineers.

On February 8, 1904, the fast Rus
sian cruiser Varyag, $500 tons, was
driven from the neutral harbor of Che
mulpo, and after engagement with the
Japanese feet was riddled with shot
and sunk by her commander. For 80
months she lay on the bottom, deep
in mud, which partly filled the ship,
then was brought to the surface and
is now in service in the navy which
sank her.
The event is extremely interesting
as the most notable success of its
kind, and accomplished under diff
cuities which were pronounced i'm
possible to overcome. Not only was
the hull nearly buried in mud, but
a fiye-knot an hour current made the
