Car and Window Washer.

A combined brush and hose nozzle
for cleaning carriages and wagons is
not particularly novel. but al Indiana
maj has adapted the idea to the clean
ing of railway cars and high windows
in a way that presents some new fea-
lures. The handle is a hollow steel
tube. to one end Of which the hose con-
Meeting with the hot or cold water sup
ply is attached. while the brush is on
the other. A valve permits the regu-
lation Of the water discharge. so that
it either keeps the brush wet or
tlushes the object to be cleaned. An
other ingenious appliance prevents the
water running down the handle and
drenching the man who is using it. 1t
is claimed that a man with this brush
can do the work Of two men workil &
in the ordinary way.

OF mixture Of two or more metals
which, after being brought to a state
of fusion and cast. exhibits no objec-

between this common Interpretation of
the word alloy there is a further dis
tinction or classification. which refers
to a combination of two or more met

by the name true alloy.
A true alloy is one in which the con-
stituents are so merged or dissolved
II in the other that they exhibit no
structure whatever. The constituent
cannot be discerned from the other.
They are completely merged. To dis
tinguish such a combination beside
the term true alloy the term solid solu-
ton is also used. such alloys being
analogous to compositions Of matter.

silica. soda, etc, are so completely dis

were bored under particularly trying
conditions, as the ground was gumbo

stretch Of marsh soil. and so hard and
so dry that every bit Of it had to be
broken with pick and crowbar when
dug by hand. Part of it, in addition

required and for the purpose Of light

shows that the harder the ground and
the more difficult it is to work the
more earnestly a machine Of this class

as a labor saver it stands unsurpassed.
