TAPPING" STEEL.
The Way Me ,ufacturers Conceal De-
fects In the Casting.


1t might very naturally have been
Thought that if there was one trade
which could be said to be free from
trickery and taking it was that of steel
manufacture. The mere fact that steel
Is synonymous with strength would
seem to bear out this view. And yet
methods are sometimes adopted in the
making of steel which once again illus
trate the saying that there are tricks
th every trade.
at the same time it must be admit
tod that some of these tricks when car
ried out do not necessarily mean a
lessenng in the soundness and quality
OF the material. For instance. it some
times happens that i'll casting piece
of steel what is known as a blow
hole" occurs. Often this is not noticed
until the steel has been cut and trim
med for the required purpose. In such
case the hole is usually tapped" and
we'll fitting screw inserted, the head
of the latter being filed off so closely
TO the metal that it needs an expert
eye to detect any unusual feature.
This is a trick which makes no differ
consequently is quite harmless.
Sometimes. however, crack ap-
pears in a piece of metal which it is
impossible to remedy by the usual ex-
pedients of hammering and rolling.
The careful manufacturer will put the
piece on one side and make a fresh
casting. for If such piece of metal
were used as crank shaft, for in
stance, 1t might split at 4 time of extra
strain and SO bring untold disaster
On the other hand, the manufacture
er may decide that he cannot afford to
throw the faulty casting on one side,
and in order to cover the defect it is
put In the open air to rust. The wealth
err will most likely be found to have
tilled the crack by the time the cast
Ing Is required, and no one outside tho
foundry will have known of it's exist
ence until perhaps 1t causes vessel to
become disa bled. And. as it is almost
impossible to tell afterward how the
crack originated. the maker is quite
secure from blame
One Of the most sensational scandals
which have agitated the engineering
world for some years past came to
light not long ago in connection with
the building Of great battleship
After trial trip she was found TO be
somewhat leaky. and an examination
OF some of the plates forming the side
of the vessel revealed the startling fact
that the rivets had been put in the
holes cold aud simply calkcd.
When ships plates are riveted to-

drive the riyets in red hot, but also to
calk them over with a special compost

order to save time resorted to the trick
described. The result was that the
strain on the plates quickly loosened

The EacIe.

According TO Washington Irving the
Delaware Indians had a Superstitious
reverence for the eagle. believing that
n guardian spirit in the form of this
bird watched over them, lowering in
the sky far out of sight. When pleased
with their actions, he sent abundant
crops and made them have great sue
cess in hunting but when dispIeased
he would vent his rage in the thunder,
which was his voice. and the lightning
which was the flashing of his eye and
strike dead the object of his displeas-
ure. They also believed that the featl-
ers of this bird would render the wear
er invisible and invulnera BILE.

1t is perhaps not generally known

Of these vibrissae. as science names
the hairs that project from the muZZle
and from above the eyes, is evident

They are delicate organs of touch.
wonderful mechanisms of warming
Each one grows from a follicle, or
gland, nerved TO exquisite sensibility.
Its slightest contact with any obstacle
is distinctly felt by the animal. though
the hair itself is tough and insensible.
Those exaggerated whiskers on the
mnZzlp often project TO each side of
the animal so far that from point to

his body

His long hairs indicate through the
incest nerves any object that may be

short before pushing through some
close thicket where the rustiing leaves
and boughs would tell aloud his pres

thrust without a warning from the
vibrissae there his body may pass
noiselessly. and it is their aid, in con-
junction with the soft cushions of his
feet, that enables him to travel as 81
