STEEL TRADE HOPEFUL
DESPITE. DEPRESSION

With prices OF steel products not far
from levels that proved to be rock bot.
tom IN past years, expressions arc heard
iii all quarters of the trade that quota
tions soon Will show signs Of recovery,
although many concede that actual ad-
vances may not be experienced for a
couple of months, says the Iron Trade
Review. Sentiment, according to mar
ket observers, has improved slightly
the last seven days. but such has not
proved to he the case regarding quota
tions, which continued Irregular and
showed indications Of further softness
last week. Inquiry for finished prod.
ucts and some grades of pig iron has
improved to a noticeable extent the last
five DAYS. and several steel company
officials express the belief that mill
tonnages will show no further decrease,
If such proves true, mill operations now
are at q minimum. Some Of the larger
mills are operating at more than 90
per cent Of capacity; great many OF
them, however, arc not producing more
than between 80 and 90 per cent of
theoretical capacity, and some are prac-
tically closed. Pig iron is in better
demand: railroads are negotiating for
foundry grades, and several heavy basic
consumers are figuring needs. Plates
and steel bars arc quotabie at l.20c for
attractive tounages, and shapes are not
above l.25c, Coke is quiet, but shows
signs Of activity. Tin plate buying the
last ten Gays has been heavy.

Saws Without Teeth.

An explanation. of the manner in which a soft steel disk revolving at high velocity cuts hard steel has recently been sought with the aid of microscopic inspection. The re- suit corroborates the view hitherto held that the material acted upon is heated at the place of contact to the fusing point and then brushed away. The high temperature ap- pears to be confined narrowly to the point of contact, so that thin gash is cut. The temperature of the re- volving disk does not rise so high because of the large surface area of the disk. The part of the disk in contact is continually changing, while the frictional energy is con- centrated on a very small area of the material subjected to it's action. Saturday Evening Post.

CURIOUS CLOCKS.
lne~nious ochsmss by Which They
 Mark the Passing Hours.

Mark tho Passing Houre.
 A Grenoble clockmaker, Antony Jacques, is responsible for the in- genious clock which he has named "Les Heures Bacchiques" ('"The Hours of Bacchus''). One of the two drunken individuals is drown ing in a glass of colored water simu- lating wine, while his equally help less companion is barely able to hold out to him, by way of stupid drunk en greeting, the bottle which they have emptied between them. In the body of this figure is secreted a magnet, which is attracted by the steel hand of the drowning disciple of Bacchus.
 The two figures remain station ary, but the wineglass, with the hours painted in black on it, re- wolves so that while the floating fig ure remains suspended in the water, but motionless, the hours and quar- ters are marked off by the revolu- tion of the glass, which is made to turn on circular place actuated by the mechanism secreted in the base of this strange but attractive clock.
 ''The School" clock, by M. A. Poi tel, constitutes a particularly at- tractive object for the shop window. It is made to represent the old type of schoolmaster, who, with his stick in hand, used equally for teach ing and chastisement, is instructing an urchin in what appears to be a sum in arithmetic, but the figures really represent the hours, to which the teacher automatically points as the movement impels his arm to indicate the passage of time.
 "La Mappenmonde" (|'The Map of the World'') is another ingenious mechanical device, the invention of a modern French clockmaker of Bethune. The movement is in the interior of the globe and causes it to revolve and so mark off the hours on the equatorial band by means of locomotive, which, by the way, has separate mechanism of its own, whereby, if the globe is made stationary, it may make a circuit on its own rails of the equator in twelve hours.
 If the clock is used for show pur- poses the stationary locomotive with revolving globe is possibly the best method to employ, as the loco- motive may then be kept always in view of the public. But as an in- genious and useful clock for private use the circuit made by the loco- motive is more interesting.-From the Matchmaker, Jeweler, Silver smith and Optician.
