ton and Burr.
The story Of the Hamilton-Bu duel
is tragic in its brevity. The little party
of ive-the principals, their seconds
and the surgeon-was on the ground
not long after sunrise. The prelimi-
naries were soon arranged. AS Pen
dleton, Hamilton's second, gave him
his pistol he asked, "Will you have the
hairspring setT'
"Not this time" was the significant
reply, and then the men faced each
other.
According to the best authorities
upon a disputed subject, Burr fired at
the word At the report Hamilton
started forward with n convulslVe
movement, reeed, involuntarily dis
charging his pistol into the foliage
above him, and fell headlong. Burr,
with an expression Of pain upon MS
face, sprang toward him, but Van Ness,
his second, seized him by the arm and
hurried him down the bank and into
their boat
Hamilton, being lifted up, revived
for a moment and gasped, This is a
mortal wound, doctor" Relapsing
again into unconsciousness, he was
again revived by the fresh air Of the
river "pendleton knows" he said,
trying to turn toward his friends, "that
| did not intend to fire at him."
At 2 the afternoon following he had
breathed his last.

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

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 imperfections 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 Il 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 bah 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
tho lnaI on II ytros unt mana thnY, O0O
pounds, and at the rate Of sixty miles
an hour the revolutions We're not moro
than 72O per minute. Compare that
with the load and velocity of the mod
ern ball bearings of automobiles. Ere
qucntly the load approXimates thou
sand pounds and the velocity is any
where from 500 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 ap-
preclable variation in size from one
another, and the more nearly round
they are the better the results.
Steel balls are not only made moro
perfect in shape than ever before, but
they are harder and tougher. AS
there Is tendency to flake only spe-
clal steels can be used in their manu-
facture, and these tough hard steels
are all the more difficult to work with
to secure perfect roundness. Tho
chrome steel, of which most balls for
bearings are made, Is one of the most
difficult Of stcels TO cut or shape and
the work of handling 1t has developed
special tools and machines made Of
even harder material,
While we have not vet 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 ap-
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.

Among the items of the Northwest
news service of the past week, was
one pertaining to the flour industry. 1t
states that Northwest millers already
have contracts for furnishing flour to
the export trade in sufficient tonnage
to keep the mills grinding for nearly
year. In addition to this, the domes-
tic demand will have to be taken care
of. From every view poiut the mills
of the Pacific slope would appear to be
in prosperous condition indeed. This
state of affairs Eeing true, and the
fact that weeks ago all available ton
mage for Oriental points had been
chartered by flour exporters, it is but
reasonable to conclude that wheat
should be worth more than 70 cents
per tushel in very short time.
