Caution in Electric Traction.

Attention is called in the Electrical
Review to certain sources Of danger
in electric traction which may easily
be avoided by experienced drivers. One
Of the most insidious Of these is the
high rate Of acceleration possessed by
the electric motor. Engineers accus-
toned to steam locomotives have to
learn to allow for this. For instance
IN rounding curve It is often neees-
sary to throw on power to overcome
the Increased resistance. An engineer

Polishing Small Articles.

It is said that high polish may be
obtained after nickel plating on
small steel articles, such as screws,
BY tumbling them with leather and dry
rouge. The articles are placed in a
tumbling barrel with leather scraps.
Some dry rouge is put into the barrel
along with the screws and leather and
the whole is tumbled for some time.
The rouge coats the surface Of the
leather, and causes it to act like a
polishing wheel Canvas scraps may
be used In place Of leather.

USE OF BUILDING TILE.
The Method Of constructing Fireproof
Buildings.

The elimination Of the fire hazard
in modern buildings is based upon the
principle that all supporting iron or
steel girders. columns, and beams
must be protected from fire by some
material which Is a poor conductor OF
heat and not easily disintegrated or in
jured by high temperatures. Burned
clay materials, such as fiat, hollow
porous, and semi-porous terra Gotta
blocks, and certain grades Of burned
bricks, are commonly employed for
this purpose. Owing to the relative
lightness Of these materials and their
high flre-resisting qualities, most steel
frameworks Of large buildings are in
cased in hollow or fiat terra Gotta
tiles laid in cement mortar. Many Of
these clay tiles and blocks are burned
in the making to 2,O0O-2,5O degrees,
SO that in any fire they viii not crum-
bic or crack at a temperature below
that to which they were originally sub
iected.-Scientific American.
