A Much Needed Invention.

The man who invents a method of joining the leather of machinery belts so that it will be as strong at the point of union as elsewhere has an enormous fortune in waiting for him. A machine belt three-sixteenths of an inch thick will sustain 075 pounds of weight per inch of width. At the splices, after the belt has been fastened with rivets, this is reduced to 380 pounds; lacing reduces it still further to 200 pounds, while a safe working tension is only about, fifty pounds per inch. If the belts could be made solid, and as strong at the joints as elsewhere, the working tension might be largely increased. Constipation cured by Small Bile Beans.
