RAwHIDE USED IN FAN BELTS

RAwHIDE USED IN FAN BELTS From the Popular Mechanics Nigga
 zine.
 For blowout patches for tires, and for making fan belts. a new fabric Is being made by subjecting rawhide to a process that maeks 1t nonelastic and then covering 1t with heavy rub ber-frictioned cotton duck. The toughness of the rawhide makes the material very puncture-proof and durable when used on tires. and for this purpose 1t Is made in the form of a patch with two strong flaps that tighten over the beads and hold the patch in place. When used for fan belts, its nonstretching property causes 1t to grip all the tighter wheu subjected to heat, instead of expand ing and slipping, as with the cofnmou leather belt.

CHEMICAL INsTANT-HEAT BAG

The well-known fact that certain chemicals give off heat when mois- tened with water has been put to practical use In the development of a heat bag recently introduced, says an illustrated article in the Popular Mechanics Magazine. Certain harm less chemicals are placed in a bag of heavy canvas, about the size of the regulation hot-water bottle, and when it is desired to heat the bag, 1t is only necessary to pour an ounce of water into the bag and the chemical action immediately starts.
 Either hot or cold water may be used and the amount fchemicals in the bag would about fill an ordinary dringing glass

A radiator valve, shown in the Popular Mechanics Magazine, is proof against any leakage. without the use of packing, is fitted above its valve disk and around it's stem with a brass bellows that expands and contracts as the valve is opened or closed, and at the same time al
 ways forms a barrier to the passage of steam. water, or air from the steam piping to the exterior. There Is no friction on the bellows. and nothing to cause wear excepting its expansion and compression, which occurs so seldom that the life of the valve should be practically equal to that of the radiator.

PhIlIy Pitcher Finishes on Long End
Of Fight With Giant outHeIder
New York. June 3O.-While spec
tators at the Polo Grounds yesterday
were intent on the ball game between
the Phillies and the New York Giants
fistic engagement, in which no ring
rules were adhered to, was staged un-
der the grandstands.
George Smith. the lanky Phillie
hurler. and Ralph SINNERS. the Giant
substitute outficlder, were the partici-
pants in the fstic engagement, and
from all reports the Quaker City play
er finished on the long end.
The battle dates back exactly two
months, for in Philadelphia. on April
90. while George Smith was twirling
for the Philics, SINNERS. playing reg
ularly for the Giants, came to bat in
the third inning, and Smith "beaned'
him. SINNERS had to retire from the
game. and since that time his hitting
has fallen off badly. He no longer
holds a regular outfield berth with Nc
Graw's team.
Yesterday Wrightstone batted for
Smith in the eighth inning, and while
George was on his way to the dressing
rooms several players Of the Giants
are said to have made ugly remarks
TO the pitcher. SINNERS was among
this number, and the battle under the
stands followed.
