Not only have former exhibitors en-

The RIFLE BARREL.

icate Operation.
Following the roaming operation in
rifle manufacture, which leaves the
bore Of the barrel smooth and polished,
comes one Of the most delicate and ex-
acting operations In gunmaking, that
of Strengthening the interior of the bar
rel. In Strengthening a barrel every
thing depends on the skill and expert
ence Of the operator, for, although ma
chimes have been devised to perform
this difficult work, they still require
skilled men to operate them, and they
cannot turn out as much work as is
done by hand by the old method that
has been practiced for years and which
can only be acquired by long experience.
The Strengthening block has heavy
base, on which are fixed two hardened
bars of steel set short distance apart
and at an angle with one another A
north window is necessary, where a
steady, unobstructed light is had, and
the upper half Of this window usually
has a large pane of fine ground glass.
Across this glass at about the middle
is fixed a straightedge of wood. The
operator places barrel on rest and
looks through 1t at the straightedge on
the window, observing the shadow cast
by the edge ON the polished interior Of
the bore.
This shadow extends about halfway
down the bore, and if the latter is per-
fectly straight the shadow shows two

ter. If, however, there is a crook in
the bore the lines of the shadow di-
verge from a straight line and zigzag

wolves the barrel by hand. This indi-
Gates that there are crooks In the bar
rel. To correctly observe these delicate
indications requires unusually perfect
sight, and to locate the point and ma
ture Of the crook is a matter Of long
experience and judgment.
When the operator has located a
crook he lays the barrel across the bars
of his Strengthening block with the high
point of the curve uppermost and
strikes it with heavy hammer made Of
copper or babbit metal, and great Judg-
ment is necessary to know just how
hard to strike to remove the crook. This

ing is repeated until the two shadow
lines are perfectly true for one-half Of
the length of the barrel and then is re-
peated for the other half, observations
being taken from the opposite end.
Another method of strengthening
sometimes practiced is by placing 10

COFFEE AND THE POETS.

Why Has the Muse So shamefuIIy Neg.
Iected the Morning cup7
II the ancients had known it there
would have been a tumultuous cult Of
the goddess Coffea, and the choruses o.
Euripides would have been sung by
Cofferantes. Coffee has the romance Of
wine. and caffeine is far less malefceni
than alcohol
The coffee bean is indeed less beau
tiful than the grape clusters, and the
coffee grinder is less romantic than the
wine press, but there all inferiority
ceases The odor of coffee is as noble
as the bouquet of Chateau-Yquem; its
color-"dark am /, but comely'-is less
glorious than the ruby Of Burgundy
but It betokens innocence with exhila'
ration.
Poets have neglected coffee. partly
because poets are greatly under the In
fuence of tradition, partly because cot
fee Is a hard word to find rime for.
One had hoped that vers HIRES would
give scope 10 coffee lovers. But the
vers hbrettis1 and vers hbrettistae
chose gentlemen and ladies' who write
poetry for the eye and the ear rather
than for the intelligence have been
equally negligent. Philosophers do not
care for breakfast. Kant took pipe
and q stroll for his morning meal, and.
If we were to inquire into the habits
Of the extremely modern poets, we
should be likely to find that they are
equally reckless Of breakfast sus-
pect them of Cruel or mutton broth.
To return, as have said, no poet has
celebrated coffee. Shakespeare came
too soon. Pope has mere reference:
Coffee. which makes the politician wise
And see through all things with his half
shut eyes.
But in Pope's day coffee was an af-
fair of afternoon, and company did not
appeal to romantic sentiments as break
fast coffee does.-Henry Dwight Sedg-
wick In Yale Review.

Judges Engaged.

The Trenton Fair poultry, pigeon and
pet stock show Is known throughout
the east as the "show of opportunity. ("
The selling power Of this exhibit was
made evident again last year when
several of the exhibitors disposed of
all their surplus stock and had to re-
fuse orders.
Trenton is advantageously situated
midway between the great markets of
New York and Philadelphia, In the
greatest poultry raising state In Amer
lea.
Harvey E. Rogers, the superintend-
ent, gives his personal attention to all
the details Of this show In systematic
manner. He always looks after the
welfare Of the exhibitors. for he recog-
nizes that they make for the success
of the show.
The most capable judges in America
have been engaged to place the awards.

hibitors to have such officials as Rich.

JAPANESE KNOTS.
They Have a Language of Their Own
and Their Making Is an Art

They Have a Language of Their Own
and Their Making Is an Art
The japanese have no use for buttons,
buckles or hooks and eyes. Cord serves
every purpose Of fastening and furnish
es artistic possibilities seemingly with
out end
The Japanese have hundreds of knots,
made necessary by the ornamental use
Of cord. Some are as old as the time
when history was recorded by series
Of knots, just as it was in China and
Peru before writing was invented
There are dozens of knots in common
and ceremonial usage, and these every
child can tie.
In one educational museum of Japan
is a great frame of the most beautiful
knots, tied in silken and gold thread
This had formed part of Japan's ex-
hibit at certain worlds fair. For six
months this wonderful collection had
hung upon the wall and only two visit
ors had noticed and inquired about 1t,
Even these thought the knots must be
industrial samples intended for dress
trimmings. No one offered to buy the
unique exhibit, no museum begged for
1t, and the wonderful knots were taken
home again.
There is an appeal to the imagination
even in the knots intended for common
use There are plum blossom, cherry
blossom, iris, chrysanthemum and pine
tree knots. There are fujiyama knots,
turtle and stork knots, the "old mans" "
which is easy to tie, and the "old wo-
mans" also.
There Is only one way of knotting a
cord when sending New Years or
birthday gift and another for doing up
a funeral Offering. There is one way to
tie the brocade bag of the tea Jar when
1t is full and another when it Is empty.
A sword bag, flag or spear bag, dis
patch bag, or the box containing some
precious piece of porcelain or lacquer,
must each be tied in certain way.
The i'll bred person classes himself
with the foreigner by ignoring such
niceties Of custom, and an object tied
in slovenly manner may not only bear
witness to the sender's ignorance, but
1t may carry with it deadly insult

Chemical Wealth In Lakes.

There are several lakes In the United
States which contain sodium carbonate
borax, potash and common table salt
Perhaps the best known of these is
Great Salt Lake, Utah's ocean Of salt
Others are Searles lake, Owens lake
and Mono lake, all in California. The
origin Of these lakes is doubtful. In
some cases they are probably due to
an arm Of the ocean becoming land
locked The most remarkable feature
about them is the fact that they seem
to be continuously fed from subter-
ranean sources, since they maintain q
uniform amount of salt.-Popular Sci
