SEEK TOO GREAT ACCURACY
Even Celebrated Engineers Have Been
Known to Waste Time on Un-
necessary Measurements.

There can be too great accuracy, &C
cording to Chemical and Metallurgical
Engineering which says:
I'VE recall one instance where a
celebrated engineer was preparing a
set OF tables for publication and was
using a set Of 12.place logarithms. We
asked why he used 12-place tables and
he replied that they were the best he
could find, that he had heard there
were 90place tables but he had been
unable TO locate them. The interest
ing thing about this anecdote is that
practically all the data which the cele-
brated engineer was tabOlating had
an accuracy which was seldom better
than ! per cent, and an ordinary 10
inch slide rule would have been amply
accurate for the work
Again, when a young engineer Is
about TO make a mathematical calcu-
lation. say for example the surface Of
heating coils necessary to obtain GER
tain results, he will almost invariably
sit down and calculate II 10 an ac-
curacy OF tenth or even a hundredth
Of per cent, and this in spite OF the
fact that the constant factor in the
equation (the rate OF heat transfer)
may not be known within 30 per cent.
Herein lies one excellent reason
why many a practical man with good
common sense and a wide experience
has been able to compete with en-
gineers in many fields"

SPELLS THAT ARE POTENT

Quite recently a Kikuyu east Afri-

He placed a medicine on the Kikuyu's

stepped over it the spell would be re-

killed the first man he met-another

The Philosophy Of a Smile.

OF all appearances Of the human
countenance methinks smile is the
most extraordinary. 1t plays with a
surprising agreeableness in the eye,
breaks out with the brightest dlstinc-
tion, and sits like glory upon the
countenance. What sun is there with
In us that shoots its beams with so
sudden a vigor? To see the soul flash
in the face at this rate one would
think would comfort an atheist; by
the way observe that smiles are more
becoming than frowns. This seems an
actual encouragement to good humor,
as much as to say: If people have
a mind to be handsome they must not

Apples Breathe.

Every living organism, whether ami
NAL or vegetable, breathes; that is, it
absorbs oxygen and gives off carbonic
acid.
Any organism which does not
breathe may be considered dead. Now,
ripe apples plucked from apple trees
are not dead. They are not so vigor-
Ously alive us while the sap ran
through them, but still they are alive,
and so they breathe and absorb oxy-
gen. 1t is found, too, that apples
stored in an atmosphere of oxygen and
carbonic acid keep twice as well as
apples stored in common air.
No doubt the oxygen stimulates
their respiration and increases theiI
vitality, while the carbonlc acid serves
as food, provided sufficient light
reaches the chlorophyl in the skin OF
the apple.

Louisville Has
Unique Print Shop

Louisville, KY, Jan. 9.-Louisville
has a print shop such as is found no.
where else in the United States. Its
books for elementary grades weigh
Is pounds; it's type setting machines
have only six keys as compared with
the 9O.odd combinations possible in
the average type setting machine,
and hammer and nail punch are the
tools OF the proof reader. Miss Su-
san B. Merwin, superintendent, says
all this is true, and she probably
knows.
The publishing house with these
queer devices is, the American
Printing House for the Blind, and
because Of its publications thousands
&C blind persons read what other
wise would not be available to them.
The Federal government pays the
house $4,000 annually, and for this
amount books are provided for Sc
country. AS an indication of the
schools for the blind throughout the
volume of work put out by the House
the report for the last fiscal year
shows that 3,4S9,7s6 pages Of print,
ed matter and 1850 bound volumes
were produced, and in addition, 4,2ll
phamplets and 1,044 copies of music,
al selections were printed.
The type setting machines have
only six keys because the alphabet
! for the blind comprises six points o,
dots, with each letter consisting OF
from one to six dots. in differen'
combinations.
Sheet brass is used i'll the ma
chimes, the words being punched II
the metal. The plates go from the
machines to the proof reader, who re-
moves all mistakes with a hammer
and nail punch.
Plates then are sent to the pres:
/ room, where they are placed on cylin
der presses. which use paper thai
