ToothIess Saws.

TOothless saws have been in use cut
ting armOr plate for n number OF
years. The theory OF the action IS
abrasion by local fusion, due to the
very high speed Of the disk, causing
81 many thousand inches Of surface
to imPinge on the metal undercut that
the material acted upon is heated at
the point Of contact to a temperature
approaching, if not equal to, the fus-
ing point. 1t appears as if a very
small portion of the metal being cut
Immediately In the neighborhoOd of
the point of contact is first melted and
at once rubbed off. thus exposing a
fresh surface to the frlctiOnal action,
and that this process goes on con-
t~lnuously while the disk is working.
The temperature of the disk must nee
essarily be much lower than the work
in contact with it, owing to Its large
surface area, and when 1t Is cOnsid-
cred hat all the FRACTIONAL energy Of
the rotating disk Is concentrated on
an extremely small area of contact in
the material subjected to its action
the results obtained are not so surpris-
ing asNappear at first stght.-ThOmas

SURGERY, "painless Charity"

The surgery of a not remote past was
radically different from the practice
Of today and fell little short Of actual
torture of the patient. Burning the
severed veins with hot irons to stop
bleeding, opening gaping wounds wider
to promote long continued s~uppuraton,
inserting tents and congresses between
the gaping lips Of wounds to prevent
healing by first intention, filling gun
shot wounds with boiling oil, etc, to
counterfeit the supposed poisonous
character of missiles propelled by gun
powder-with a host of salves, ONT
ments and similar medicaments, it was
not until late in the nineteenth cen
fury hat military surgery became the
soothing, beneicent, almost painles,
charity of today.-National Magazine.

SON
TO KILL HIM
Connecticut Farmer Sends
His wife on Errand.

Greenwich, Conn, May leone of
the most shocking tragedies In the
community Of mluionaires who have
large estates around the northern part
of this town occurred when Fred
Hustled, a prosperous farmer, aged
forty-six years, prevailed upon his
twelve-year-old son Lester to pull the
trigger of his shotgun which blew his
fathers head off. Hustled is believed
to have been crazed after years Of toll
from which he had paid or the farm
mortgages and for the first time In
years saw prospects Of a life Of ease.
Hustled owned a farm Of eighty
acres and, 1t Is said, had recently re-
fused an offer of $4,000 for the place.
He was prosperous and devoted his
whole time to his family.
Hustled sent his wife on an errand
to a neighbor. Lester was In the gar
den, and the other three children were
at school at the time Of the tragedy.
Soon after Mrs. Hustled left the house
her husband called Lester TO the kitch-
en-, and, picking up a double barreled
shotgun which he always kept loaded
in Il corner Of the room, he laid 1t
on the table, told the boy to pull the
trigger, as he wanted to see how 1t
sounded. The man knelt on the floor
on the opposite side of the table, cock
ed one eye and looked directly into the
muzzle of the gun, which was but
four inches away. The boy hesitated,
and his father said 1t wasn't loaded.
so the boy snapped the trigger, but
let it go easily, holding it with his
thumb, and the piece did not explode.
His father arose, took the rifle from
the table and cooked it again and laid
it back In the same position while he
got on his knees and again looked Into
the barrel.
at is not loaded. Pull the trigger
and see how 1t sounds he again told
the boy. The boy did so, and the IA
Their dropped dead instantly.
Horror stricken, the lad rushed to
his nearest neighbor, Daniel Ryan. and
told him about what he had done.

Queer Drunken Manias.

An English sheriff who died some
years since kept a record Of the curl
Gus cases Of drunkenness that came
under his observation. Several habit
ual eases had developed odd manias.
One woman who had been arrested
1877 times for drunkenness in twenty
eight years had a mania for break
ing windows when she was intoxi-
Gated. An old soldier, suffering from
a wound in the head, always stole BIZ
bies when be was tipsy. Another
man stole nothing but spades, while
one woman's fancy ran to shawls and
another's to shoes. A nan named
Grub was imprisoned seven times
for stealing tubs. although there was
nothing in his line of life to make
tubs particularly desirable to him.

Quicksands,

Quicksands have a horrible fascina-
ton for writers and readers of fiction,
AND the reality Is every bit as bad as
fancy paints 1t. One Of the most re-
markeble quicksand accidents occur
red years ago in New Zealand. Two
prospectors were wading across the
mouth Of a small stream running into
the sea in the north island of New
Zealand. Both stepped into the quick
sand. One who merely touched the
edge of it got loose. The other sank
rapidly and, in spite Of his compan-
ions efforts, was sucked under. When
an attempt was made to recover the
body 1t was found that the sand was
enormously rich In gold. From a sin
gle ton Of 1t f2nO worth Of gold was
washed.-Pear Is.

Shopping For a Railroad.

Strict economy in buying is the only
qualification that can insure a position
as shopper for a railroad.
THE woman who can be talked into
paying a cent more a yard for cotton or
wooden goods than Is absolutely neces-
sary need never apply for the job"
said a woman who holds a railroad
job. at is my business to buy clothes
for people who have been injured on
our road. Pending recovery the road
pays all expenses, and when patients
are ready to leave the hospital they
are provided with a complete set Of
clothing, even to rubber overshOes.
Unless the patients are unreasonable
In their demands we provide the kind
of clothes they ask for, and no doubt
many of them leave the hospital better
dressed than they have w been In
their lives. Since those outfits have to
be duplicated a good many times In
the course of the year it is obvious
that needless extravaganza cannot be
tolerated. The railroad insists upon
purchasing all supplies, and it is i'm
perative that the woman who does the
buying knows to a thread the kind Of
material She wants and what she
ought TO pay for it."-New York Sun.
