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
it has never been made even in the
laboratory, much less in the shop for
commercial uses. When we consider
the Importance of bail 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 n 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 200
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
ern ball bearings of automobiles. FIRE.
quently the load approximates a 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-
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 q tendency to fake. only spe-
Cldl SleelS GILL DE uSeu III luelI luuuu-
facture, and these tough, hard steels
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 bah is matter Of vital inn
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.

SCALES OF The EEL.
They Are Very Minute and Resemble
Herrinabone BrielSNNork.

Herringbone Brictwork.
In the ordinary acceptat.on of the
term the eel is a scaleless fish. But
It is due to the fact that its scales are
very minute and imbedded in the skis.
They form, as pointed out by a cor
respondent, very interesting and beau
tiful objects for the microscope. In
size the scales Of the eel vary from one
twentieth of an inch upward, accord
ing to the age Of the fish. They are
formed of two layers of clear, horny
substance. the upper OF which Is
studded with crystals OF calcium car
Donate. These are so transparent as
to look like empty cells. The scales
vary in shape from blunt to an
elongated oval and are sometimes al
most kidney shaped.
This is how the scales OF the eel tell
its age. On each may be observed at
intervals several more or less clearly
marked lines parallel to the margin.
These mark lines of growth, one for
each year of the life of the fish. Three
years, however, must be allowed for
the innermost ring, as the eel has no
scales until the third year. The scales
do not overlap to any extent and are
arranged in series of small groups at
right angles to each other, so as to
resemble what is known as herring
bone brickwork. Conger cells, how
ever. are said to have no scales.-Lon-
don Field.

Of 463 yards with the wind. Compared
