Computing Tape Measure.

A computing tape measure, which
provides a simple and convenient
means for ascertaining weights and
measures without employing caicula-
lions of any kind, is shown in the il
lustration below. 1t is especially use
full in determining the weight per foot
of tubes, pipes, bars and rods. The
computing measure is formed by two
or more tapes, arranged side by side.
The one shown here, to be used in
ascertaining the weights Of pipes
has two tapes, one containing figures
to indicate the diameters of the pipe
and the other the weights per foot OF
pipes of different diameters. The
measure is used as follows:
To ascertain the weight per foot OF
a pipe having an internal diameter
2% inches and an external diameter
2H inches, the upper tape is drawn
out until the figures rs appear al
the edge Of the slot. Both tapes are
then drawn out together until the
figures rs, representing the externa
diameter of the pipe or tube, appear
on the upper tape. The weight pei
foot is indicated by the figure on the
lower tape directly below the figures

solid or cylindrical rod, both tapes are

Needles, Pins, and Hooks and Eyes.

According to the census of 1905,
forty-six establishments made a spec

$1,595,923, and products valued at
$4,750,5S9. Almost equal numbers
Of men and women were engaged in
this industry, the numbers being L.
S62 and 1860, respectively.
In addition a number of factories
produced quantities of these articles
without specializing on them. The
total output amounted to 1,766,O73

PARIS ORGANS.
Organ Grinding in the Streets Is to
Be Stopped.

Compared with the streets Of Lon
don the streets of Paris are intoler-
ably noisy. Wood pavement is not SO
popular with our neighbOrs Us it is
with us, ana the cobble stones with
which SO many streets are paved in
medieval fashion lay the foundation
of noise which would drive us mad.
But there is one noise which is about
to be stopped by the slow process OF
extinction, and that is the street or
gan, which has come under the ban
Of the Omnipotent NJ. Lepine. The
organ grinders have been permitted
In the streets of Paris because they
are in some sort musical artists. Beg
ging is forbidden by the police, but
the turning Of an organ handle is. as
In London, q kind of profession. For
some time past the organ has disap-
peared from the more crowded thor
oughfares, for it would not be hoard
in the general clatter, and its grinder
ran q very fair risk of being knocked
down by the traffic. Therefore it has
taken refuge in the quiet by-streets
in which literary men, artists and
other OF the Brotherhood Of Silence
have their abode, much to the fury OF
the unfortunates who have to listen
to the horrible sounds. But now it
is said that NJ. Lepire has decided
to issue no fresh licenses 20 organ
grinders. Those who have already re-
ceived permission to torture house
holders will not be interfered with.
but the next ruffian who demands per-
mission to grind An organ will be
shown the door OF the Project OF
Police. In the course Of time, there
fore, the organ grinders of Paris
will die out. We congratulate the
Parisians on the prospect before them.
1t is a step in advance and will en-
courage those who are pleading for
less noise in other big cities.-London

PLATED TIN SPOONS.
Somewhat Elaborate Processes IN
volved in Producing Simple
Utensil

Here is one way of making spoons,
the process described being used in
the manufacture of one variety of tin
plated spoons.
In its original form the material
from which these spoons are made
comes in long thin strips OF steel
rolled to a uniform thickness. The
strips are twelve or fifteen feet in
length and of a width sufficient for
the length of the spoon to be made.
These strips are fed into a cutting
machine which cuts of pieces each
Of sufficient size for making spoon,
these being simply 50 many small,
fat pieces Of sheet steel.
Then these blanks are put through
a grader, q machine with powerful
rolls. which so works the metal as to
make It thinner in those parts OF the
blank that are to form the bowl and
the handle Of the spoon and thicker
in the middle of the length OF the
blank, from which the shank OF the
spoon will be made. so that 1t Will
be the better cble to bear the bend
ing strain that will be put upon the
spoon in use.
From the grader the blank goes
into q drop press, which cuts it into
the outline form Of spoon. though
from this press it comes out still
fiat.
Then In another press the bowl OF
the spoon Is formed, and then dn
still another the handle, and SO at
last you have the spoon in it's COM

That the stern of the Dreadnought
is hardly as satisfactory as could be
desired is no secret. The position OF
the two rudders just aft of the two
centre screws has already given some
slight trouble that has led to eXag-
gerated reports OF bad manoeuvring
qualities, but the true difficulty lies
not so much in that as in the deter
mination Of the best position for the
propellers in the newer ships. 1t is a
point that merits much attention in
turbine vessels.
Some tests have been made on the
Northern railway, of France, to de-
termine the economy of using one
powerful engine instead Of two small
or ones. The tests extended over six
months time, and covered over 12,40O

weight-950 tons. The cost for fuel.
oil, maintenance and wages for the
six months was $761 for the one and
$1O41 for the two engines, or a saving
of $3.50. The first cost was $23,2S0 for
