What Causes It and What Would Hap.
 pen Without It.
 What is friction really caused by? Why will two things in contact not slip over each other easily? It is be cause every substance known to science has teeth: microscopic. it is true. but still teeth. The result, then. Is ob- vious. If we shove a book across table the teeth of the book interlock with the teeth of the table just as cog wheels do. and the push has to be enough or to break them off for the motion to continue.
 It has actually been observed in a microscope that if the push is only a slight one and moves the book only a short distance. on the pressure of the hand being removed the book actually jumps back to its former position This action Is slight bending of the two sets of teeth. only not far enough for them to lose their relative posi- tons, and their elasticity on being re, leased makes the book fly back.
 It has been shown that this friction Is not so much between different bod ies as between bodies of the same ma-- terial. One industrial application of this is the bearings for steel axles. They are made of brass instead of steel.
 In some things we want as much friction as possible and in others as little. The former is illustrated in the friction between an engine wheel and the track. sand sometimes being pour ,Ad ou the track to increase the friction. The latter case is illustrated in all bearings where rotating metal is in contact with stationary metal. some times ball bearings being substituted. thus lessening the friction.
 Many peculiar things would happen if there was no friction. All screws in wood would immediately twist back ward rapidly and shoot out into the air: trains could not run save on cog ged rails, which would probably be having four rails instead of two; build lngs would tumble down. and new ones could not be built unless molded in place like Edison's or else riveted to- gether. People would have to wear shoes with long spikes in them and then have to be careful. for dirt grains would slip over one another easily and would act like deep sand. But one great thing would happen-machines would run at 100 per cent efficiency. would give out as much energy as was put into them.-Lawrence Hodges in New York Tribune
