When Laura entered the office OF

Allan was sitting at his desk with a

are obtained by using mixture Of
verdigris, sal ammoniac and vinegar,
using two or three times as much YER
digris and sal ammoniac as vinegar.
The heat treatment Is the same as in
the previously related process. and the
color obtained can be made much dark
or by adding some blue vitriol to the
solution.
A red brown may be given by using
4 vinegar paste containing equal parts
of verdigris and cinnabar, together
with two and half times as much

heat treatment is the same as for the

WORKING Thin Tubinu,

In cutting off, turning or fling thin
brass or copper tubing much trouble
will be experienced from its buckling
or crushing under the pressure Of
chuck jaws or wise jaws To prevent
this trouble use plug Of wood driven
lightly into the hole. Where number
Of pieces Of the same size are to be
handled metal plug or arbor can be
made, and IL still greater number are
to be worked It will pay to have an
expanding arbor which may be made
by splitting the metal plug, making a
taper hole In It and fitting plug in
the hole.

Annsalins High Speed Steel.

The most effective way to anneal
high speed steels so that they can be
worked in any desired shape like soft
machine steel Is as follows:
Procure a piece Of iron pipe five or
six inches inside diameter and twelve
or fifteen inches long and place the
steel inside; then I'LL the remaining
space with cast iron borings. taking
care to have the steel in the center
and well surrounded with the borings.
This is placed in forge and heated
slowly until the whole is red hot; then,
while In the fire, it is covered with
ashes and fine coal and allowed to cool.

Tooth Making Machi,.s.


Two engineers Of Prague have In
vented an apparatus for the casting
from metals Of artificial teeth, which
It Is claimed eliminates all defects
heretofore found In other machines In
use for the manufacture Of such teeth.
The machines now generally employed
are Of two kinds, One OF these Is the
press, which forces the metal into tht;I
form mechanically, but It Is subject t.
the criticism that the pressure cannoT
be applied vertically, which often ~
suits In z sputtering Of the molten
mass. The other, the centrifugal an
paratus. excludes the possibility Of The
application Of regulated power. The
invention in question, It Is claimed
sbyiates all difficulties heretofore ex-
perdenced IN the manufa cture Of such
ARTIFICIAL teeth. The pressure on the
form is always exerted vertically, and
the force being regulated automatically
Z does not IN any degree depend upon
the skin Of the operator nor upon the
degree Of force applied BY him.

HOW SHIPS BREAK IN TWO.
Probable Cause Of tho Failure Of the
Oklahoma's Hull.

Probable Cause Of tho Failure of the
0klahoma's Hull.
Breaks in two of the, bulls Of vessels.
while they have occurred before, have
been rare enough so that the recent
disaster to the new oil tank steamer
Oklahoma Is of especial interest to
vessel designers, says the Engineering
News. According to the story told by
one Of the surviving members Of the
rev, the break in two occurred when
the vessel was picked up at either end
by giant waves. While she hung thus
suspended third great comber wash
ed high over her side and settled with
deafening crash on her deck"
What most probably happened is
that the break in two occurred when
the vessel amidships was raised high
on the top Of a wave, while the stern
and bow were in the trough on either
side. This would place the vessels
bottom in compression and the top
deck sides of the hull in tension. a
ships hull Is weakest to resist bend
ing stress under these condit ons, since
its bottom plating is heavier than Its
deck plating and the latter Is cut away
for hatch openings The stresses were
q maximum also because the vessel was
not loaded. Under these conditions the
principal weight Of the hull Is that Of
the engines and boilers in the after
end, and the ballast in the tanks at
Il tho hnuv IN kr1nn tho +voaao1 m = ~ or,sr,
keel. With the load thus concentrated
at the two ends OF the hull and the
central portion empty, the bending Of
the hull produced BY q wave lifting the
vessel amidships would be a maximum.
Similar cases Of hull failures on the
great lakes dozen years or more ago
resulted in an increase In the required
thickness Of the bulls OF lake vessels
The wreck Of the Oklahoma win prob.
ably have distinct influence on the
design Of ocean tank vessels.

 Back in the eighties young man in northern New York state took Horace Greelye's advice and went west to grow up with the country. He settled in hat is now a prosperous state in the north west. taking up there a free government homestead claim on the prairies. AS the country became more settled, land values rose. Soon there was agitation for the establishment of state agricultural col- lege in the nearby county seat. Tn the meantime, the young man had sold his farm at profit and with some of the money went to Chicago to take a course in pharmacy. He returned just in time to secure position on the faculty of the

However. 1t was his habit of saving that put him in the way of getting that profit. For a number of years he had been putting large part of his savings into the purchase of a valuable corner lot, drawing out certain sum from his | savings account every six months to make the required payments on his contract. Last spring he sold the lot at a very good profit and thus was able to acquire own ersh'p of his home. partly through his own thrift and good judgment, and partly 1 by the aid of the unearned increment of : the well located real estate in growing city.
