SCIENCE NOTES,

Although its first cost is considerable,
it is not that alone which operates against
the more generous use of brasswork for
the interior finishing of large office build
ings and similar structures, but rather
the cost of maintenance. For large build
ings the use of metal work in this par
ticular is very impressive, but it requires
constant attention that it may be always
bright and clean. This item of expense
is considerable in the aggregate and really
cuts more of figure than the initial ex-
pense.
The work of polishing the metal work
has heretofore been done by men armed
with chamois skins substitute and
pot of polishing material. and from the
very nature of the work the progress
made by the men could be nothing else
but slow. This work has been greatly
facilitated recently by the adoption of the
electric current for the purpose. The
modern polisher's outfit consists of
small electric motor, with straps, in order
that 1t may be swung fro mthe shoulder
of the operator flexible cord main
tains a connection with some convenient
lamp socket and the motor is made to
operate Il revolving brush by means of a
flexible shaft The brush may be dis
placed for polishing disc where the lat
ter may be used with more convenience.
With this equipment a man can cover a
time with the expenditure of very little
physical energy This piece of apparatus
is capable of quite a wide range of work
Of this general nature.

The advantages of ball bearings for
fans over plain babbtted bearings was
recently determined in a series of tests of
a 35-inch exhaust fan SO designed that it
could be operated either with the plain
or ball bearings. When adjusted for the
same volume and conditions of delivery
it was found that slightly over per cent
more power was required to operate it
with babbitted bearings than with the
ball bearings, while when adjusted for
the same power inputs in either case an
increase of delivery capacity of over ~
per cent was secured with the ball bear
