ILUC PISTON PACKING. fi ment of Block* and Spring* That Prevents Loakago. iccompnnylng engraving il'us au Improved inetulllc pistou composed of comparatively rta and urrnnged to prevent of steam in thc cylinder from . of the piston to the other. lu i to this, the device ls so de ft? to compensate for all wear Interior contacting surfaces of i the, engine'cylinder and tho packing, ( taus requiring no reboring of thc cylln ! der. As pictured in the engraving, the improved packing ls arranged between (wo heads^oyed to the piston rod. The mt (A) winni with a spider, which .B'S td^Pice the heads apart and ?Side an outer annular recess Uv jHn them. In'this recess the blocks fe JBtr? ?tted, and between them and tS.^nplder ls a series of springs (Ct. j are four of these blocks (B), aud ? |-*l" inner edges are curved to flt ? Nv. st the springs. The outer edges I ftt< blocks are angular and are form Elfjffr'ith dovetailed grooves adapted to S tal ve do vc t al led tongues on the seg ? ft will bo observed that the aligned lige*? of two adjacent angular blocks lae engaged by one segment (D), and ? 1 order to Insure n completo fitting of f-1 Q :o. thc segments on the blocks two op i posite segments are formed with longer .dovetailed tongues than the iuterincdi ?ate segments. The segments (D\ it l.-may be observed, are formed with curved outer faces adapted to engage w the Inner surface of the cylinder. In I practice the springs (C), pressing ' against the blocks (B), hold the Beg f ments (D) in Orin contact with the ' cylinder, and consequently all wear between the contacting surfaces ls conpensated for, and leakage of steam from one side of tho piston to the other is completely prevented. It will be seen that by providing x_dovetolled connection between the M blocks nud tho segments they are held m together, but allow sliding movement I of the segments on the blocks without ?.danger of their becoming disconnected. ?;%Vui!e this packing ls applicable on any engine, lt hos been designed par ticularly for use on locomotives. The Inventor of thlB improved piston pack in? is N. Pflaum, 77 Schmidt building, Pittsburg. Coalite to Replace Coal. Coalite is imitating coal and ls re puted to excel the genuine article, writes J. A. Howland in the Chicago Tribune. By a newly discovered proc ess the experts can produce from coal of the cheapest quality this substance of coalite. Thia coalite produces 20 per cent more heut than coal. Bo little car bon is emitted that lt can be burned in a white stove without discoloring lt. So little oxygen is required to Huppert its combustion that the long draft ls un necessary, and tho tall chimney ls made a thing of the past, lt is further declared that the gas produced ls stronger, purer and less costly than that to which we have been accus tomed. Finally it is said that the by I products of the manufacture of coalite f can be sold for more than the original price of tho coal, so that coalite costs less than nothing to produce. If only coalite were edible as well the goal of human happiness surely would be looming up in sight. Alcohol From the Caotua. L?r^c areas of arable land In west e?? Tetas are overrun by growths of cactus. It is esteemed an unmitigated nummee, though in seasons of drought tijBL.ictus loaves have buen used to fee^^cattle. the obnoxious spines hav ing been first destroyed hy burning. Since the pussagc of the act of con gress providing for tho manufacture of untaxed denatured alcohol owuers of cactus lands are hoping to make tho naturul cactus crop valuable by distil lation. The alleged fact that the cac tus furnishes perhaps tho choapest and most abundant raw material for alco hol making sectus to be so well estab lished that roving portable stills aro to bo set up In the cactus lands for the double purpose of turning the de spised plant into fuel and provender.

"Even the rosy, well kept nails of a beautiful woman's hand cannot be con sidered beautiful," writes thia jour nal, "and involuntarily reminds one of an animal's claws. But many people even do not understand how to keep the long grown nail clean, and the sight of such a hand is downright dis gusting. With the greatest cleanliness, however, the long, pointed nail may in flict an Injury to the skin, and, as there ts frequently an accumulation of diseuse germs under the apparent cleanliness, lt very often adds infection to the injury. Such injuries can be inflicted upon one's ow n person ' and also upon that of others, and mothers are liable to imperil their children, with whom they often come In close contact.

Chicago, May ll-The Record-Herald ?ays: American railways will Bpend close to a billion dollars during the present year in an extraordinary effort to seem o suffi oieut equipment, power and track, includ ing uew road, to make it possible to handle the great amount of traffic being offered to them. If the car and locomotive builders and the steel rail makers do tboir part the ?ear will be a record one in the three ndustries mentioned. It is estimated that if the manufac turers are equal to the test between 840, OOO and 850,000 freight oars will be added to tho total equipment of the railways of the United States, fully 5,000 passenger oars and more than 0,000 locomotives will be added to the steam power, which is now available. It is estimated that the railroads will pay fully $02,000,000 for steel rails dur ing tbo present year. If this proves true the steel mills will have to turn out about 3,800,000 tons of that product. The output last year was about 3,250,000 tons. It is said the Western roads will use fully 1,000,000 tons of rail and that nearly 1,000,000 tons of this will be rolled in the Eastern mills.
