HOW TO KNOW PURE PAINT.
A Way in Which It May Be Identified
Before Using.

After a building has been painted
easy to tell If the paint used was made
of pure White Lead or not. But such
telated knowledge comes like locking
the barn after the colt is stolen.
What one wants is a test that will
tell the quality of the paint before it
and the labor of putting it on are
paid for.
Nature has provided a way In which
genuine White Lead may be positive
ly distinguished from adulterated or
fake White Lead before you spend a
cent on your painting.
Pure White Lead is made from me.

such as is produced by n blow-pipe
pure White Lead will resolve itself back
into metallic lead. If, however. 1t is
not genuine White Lead. or II 1t con-
tains the slightest trace of adultera-
ticn. the change will not take place.
Therefore the "blow-pipe' test is an
absolute and final one.
The National Lead Company are
urging everyone Interested In painting
to make this test of paint before using
1t. and they guarantee that the pure
White Lead sold under their Dutch

prove absolutely pure under the blow.

Explanation of the Turbine

Explanation of the Turbine.
One can think Of few things harder to
describe than the turbine engine, al
though in principle it is simplicity itself.
A child's pinwheel is the idea one can
start with, the pin representing the shaft.
But in order to get more economical use
OF steam than by blowing a jet against q
pinwheel design in the open air, let it be
incased in large pipe or cylinder. Then
to get the greater power or purchase from
the steam against these blades, it is nee
essary to get them as far from the shaft as
possible, and there are great number Of
these blades, very small and fixed on the
outside OF 2 cyliuder, in the center Of
which cylinder is the shaft. r
This cylinder with its blades sticking
out all over its surface is tightly incased
in another fixed cylinder, leaving just
room for the blades to revolve. Then as
the steam is blown through between the
i"ner and outer cylinders the numerous
blades take up this power and quickly
start the inner cylinder and its shaft re-
volving with extreme rapidity.
Again, to get still better results from the
jets of steam, rows Of blades are placed on
the inside Of the incasing or fixed cylinder
in such way that the rows of blades on
the moving cylinder just fit in or dovetail
together, these fixed blades serving to re-
verse the direction of the steam before it
strikes the next row Of movable blades.
The blades that are furthest from the in
take Of high pressure steam are much
larger, SO as to take up better the rapidly
expanding vapor, and this process is car
ried on through various steps until full
vacuum is reached. All of the thousands
OF small blades, both in the movable and
fixed rows are curved.-Morine Journal.
