SCIENCE NOTES.

Railroad master mechanics are calling
halt on the practice of drilling into car
axles for the purpose OF making the ntces"
sary attachments for axle-driven dynamos,
by which the cars are lighted. This has
been done quite generally, although it has
been regarded as question bile practice. 1t
now develops that the custom is positively
disastrous. In two car axles recently frac-
tured the break occurred through the CEN
ter of shallow drilled holes. the first, after
runnin. ID $50 miles. and the second after
1880 miles. The diameter of the axle at
the fracture was in each case three and
one-quarter inches. The cracks occurred
several inches from the key sets and at
points where the stress would not be a
maximum The drilled hole was made to
receive the point of set-screw to prevent
endWiSe motion of chain wheel. Ih2

When Wall Street Cries wv off"

rom Inc NlrCp
Wall street sometimes cries out panic
panic when there is panic. 1t is to
the interest of some spectators to make
the public and the other spectators be-
lleye that the business outlook is dark.
and that the conditions will be still worse
three or six months hence. And not all
those prophets of disaster belong to the
element who are always and under all
circumstances bears.
Now | am not going to make any at
tack on Wall street As the designation
is popularity used. there are two Wall
streets. At one of these Wall streets
there are cliGues of gamblers or wreckers
who sometimes raid the exchanges and
send quotations up or down sharply. with
out any regard for basic values. That
on March II. 1857. and on many like oc-
casions made forays on the market. in
which securities rose or dropped Spectac-
ulariy, Irrespective altogether of intrinsic
worth. and in which fortunes were made or
lost In few minutes. That Is the Wall
street which the public has in mind when
i condemns that place. That. too. is the
not all. of the pessimistic talking about
the business outlook In 1907.
The other Wall street Is the point to
which a large part of the country's sur
plus cash eravitates for employment when
Il fails to find profitable work to do at
home; the place from which most Of the
countrys larger enterprises are financed:
the locality which talks and acts for the
United States in all its great financial
/ transactions with Europe. Asia and the
rest of the world. That is the real and
the greater Wall street.

Gold in Walls of Old Mint.

From the Denver Post.
The passing of the old United States Mint
building reminds old-timers of the early
struggles of the government to make the
maintenance of the mint worth while. Then
came 1879 and the great strikes at Lead
vile. which brought tons of bullion to Den
yer and kept the mint officials busy and
the institution running at full capacity.
The destruction of the building marks
the end OF the chapter. BY the terms OF
the contract for the destruction of the
building and the erection of the new Boett-
cher building its site all the material
becomes the property of the contractors.
