THE ANGLE OF REPOSE.
Depends Wholly on the Friction of the
Materials In Contact.

Depends Wholly on the Friction of the
Materials In Contact.
The angle of repose is a well known
term in the science of mechanics, but.
besides being used in purely theoret-
ical problems, is taken Unto account by
railroad and other engineers. Suppose
that we take a brick and lay it on a
board and then gradually raise one
end of the board. There will be a GER
tain angle reached in time where the
brick will not remain at rest on the
board, but will start to slide down.
This is termed the angle of repose of
the brick on the board 1t is at that
point where the component of force
due to gravity overcomes the resist
ance due to friction between the two
surfaces. Therefore the angle de-
ponds entirely on the friction. Eric
ton varies with the materials in con-
tact. SO the angle of repose of a brick
on pine board would be different
than its angle of repose on an iron
board, say.
Now for the application of this in
ordinary life, When railroad cut has
to be made the sides have to be suffi-
ciently slanting to keep the earth or
clay from caving in. The same ap-
plies when ditch is dug or when for
tihcations are built In time of war.
The angle necessary for this is of
course the angle of repose of the par
ticular kind of material through which
the cut is made as measured by itself
on itself, as 1t contains millions of in
dividual particles In contact. The an
gle in this instance is determined with
utmost ease and simplicity A pile of
the material Is put into an open cylin-
der. packed down slightly. and the CYL
tnder is then removed. OF course the
pile Immediately slumps down into a
mound with slanting sides. the angle
Of which is the one wanted. This an
gle Is somewhat smaller than the one
that would be taken by compact earth
and therefore allows a good margin Of
safety
There are tables got out for the en-
glneer to refer to, but 1t is always
wiser to make a trial for every par
ticular condition of the soil, for there
are hardly two cuts made through ex-
actly the same kinds of material in
exactly the same condition.-Chicago

The LAMPS of the Sea

Many kinds of jellyfsh are phos-
phorescent at night and present a
wonderfully beautiful appearance
when slowly moving through the wa
ter, and it : is this phosphoreseence
which has given them the poetic title
OF 1.-The lamps Of the sea-" They are
not less beautiful in the daytime, for
most of the species are striped or tint
ed, some being melon shaped, with
rows of fringes dividing the sections.
The tentacles are often plumed, and,
while waving about in graceful curves,
attract or gather in the food of the
animal. The Portuguese man-of-
war" is probably the best known, as
well as most attractive in form, of the
whole family.
