Dancing In Washington's Days.

1t was dancing age. None was too
old or too dignified to join in the pass

General Greene that on one occasion
Washington danced for three hours
without once sitting down. Patrick
Henry would close the doors of his of

fiddling, and Jefferson dearly loved to
''rOsin" his bow for a merry jig. The

Linden Mines.

The Reporter: The mining situation
in Linden is practically the same as il
was week ago, All the mines are OPP
Grating and are working large forces.
The output is steady and from all
indications this winter will be very
prosperous one in Linden.
The Gribble mine struck zinc ore in
their drill holes this week. Work will
be pushed in this mine at once. This
property is considered one of the valua
BILE ones in this district.
The Dodger is suffering from tenn
porary shut down caused by the break
ing of the air compressor. Work will
be resumed in few days.
The Optimo mine turned out one
hundred and ten tons of zinc ore last
week. There isn't another mine in the
entire lead and zinc district that can
approach the record of this mine in
the output of zinc ore.

PERFECT STEEL BALLS.
They Have Never Yet Been Made,
Even In the Laboratory.

One Of the needs of the day is a
perfectly spherical steel ball. and yet
1t has never been made even in the
laboratory, much less in the shop for
commercial uses. When we consider
the importance of ball bearings for au-
tomobiles. motorcycles and other ma
chinery the imperfectious in steel balls
must appeal to all as of the greatest
moment OF course we make pretty
good steel balls, which could not have
been manufactured a few years ago.
So far as the eye can discern, they are
perfectly spherical. too, and ordinary
measuring instruments will not be able
to detect any difference in them, but
nevertheless they are not perfectly
spherical
A steel ball for automobile bearings
must be perfect within .0001 inch. and
they are made even more perfect than
this, but mathematical perfection in
this respect seems to be almost as il
lusive as squaring the circle or discov-
ering the perpetual motion machine.
When the steel ball was first used in
the bearings of bicycles it was a very
imperfect sphere. 1t was not called
upon to bear any great load. and the
velocity was not great. At the best
the load on it was not more than POO
pounds, and at the rate of sixty miles
an hour the revolutions were not more
than 100 per minute. Compare that
with the load and velocity of the mod
hn1l haa r11o.- Of automobiles Ern-
quently the load approXimates thou
sand pounds and the velocity is any
where from 800 to 1900 revolutions.
The small steel balls must take the
maximum load Of the car and pass it
on to others without binding or catch
ing. A slight imperfection in any one
ball would cause trouble. In fact, it
is impossible to use balls with any APP
preciable variation in size from one
another, and the more nearly round
they are the better the results.
Steel balls are not only made more
perfect in shape than ever before, but
they are harder and tougher. AS
there is tendency to flake. only spe-
cial steels can be used in their manu-
IaCCuFe, ana lneSe tough, nara steers
are all the more difficult to work with
to secure perfect roundness. The
chrome steel, of which most balls for
bearings are made, is one of the most
difficult of steels to cut or shape. and
the work of handling it has developed
special tools and machines made of
even harder material.
While we have not yet made the
perfectly spherical steel ball and per-
haps may never succeed, the point of
perfection reached is little short of
wonderful. The approximately per-
feet steel ball is matter Of vital i'm
portance wherever machines and ma
chinery are made and used. The APP
plication of the ball bearing system
is extended to new lines of industrial
use each year. and builders of all
kinds of apparatus are taking advan-
tage of the perfection reached by the
manufacturers of these little spheres
of tough steel.-Harper's Weekly.

Dies at Advanced Age.

The Witness; j. l.. Spencer, an
aged resident Of Platteville, died Thurs
day at the home of his son George al
CapTon, H., where he had gone a
couple of days before. Mr.. Spencer
had been in failing health for several
years, and his condition became 50
serious that his son came here last
week and took him to his own home.
1t was feared at the time that he could
not stand the trip. His remains were
brought back here for burial.
He enlisted the 30 Of March 1854, and
was honorably discharged the eth day of
June, 1855. He was a charter member
