For HARDENING Drill.

Hardening an ordinary drill In sui.
phuric 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 fiat-bottomed vessel to depth
of about one-eighth of an inch. The
point of the drill is heated to a dun
cherry red, and dipped in the acid to
that depth. This makes the point
extremely hard, while the remainder
remains soft II the point breaks. re-

MAKING Eyelets,

There's new way Of making those
troublesome eyelets discovered by a
girl who is locally famous for in
venting laborsaving ideas. 1t con-
slsts in running the eyelet around and
then cutting it from end to end and
buttonholing it, making the stitches
as deep as those upon the usual but
tonhole, but reversing the stitch so
that the edge stitches back upon the
material instead Of around the open
edge Of the eyelet. 1t is about one
fifth as hard to do as the usual way,
and the difference in length Of time
Is even more marked.
