HOW TO FIGURE HORSE POWER

Comparatively Easy Method of Making Calculation With Any Engine la Available. As an easy method of calculating horse power the following Is commended: Where practicable take an indication diagram which shows the mean pressure of steam throughout the stroke. In order to-calculate the pressure, ten ordinates are usually drawn across the diagram; the length of these Is measured on a scale representing the pounds per square inch of pressure. The ten numbers thus obtained are added’together and the sum divided by ten; this gives the average pressure per square inch of steam throughout the stroke. Calculate the area of the piston In square inches from its diameter, and multiply this by the square inch. This gives the total pressure exerted on the piston. Next multiply the number of revolutions of the engine per minute by twice the length of the stroke In feet; this gives the speed of the piston In feet per minute; multiply this by the pressure on It In pounds, and the result Is the number of foot pounds of work done on the piston per minute. A horse power is reckoned at 33.000 foot pounds per minute, the number of foot pounds divided by this figure gives the indicated horse power. A portion of this, varying from a third to a fifth, is taken up in overcoming the friction of the working parts of the engine; the remainder only Is available for useful woi;k—- ---■ . ■ - ■.. .

STATISTICS AS WOOING AID

Suitor Lays Stress on Fact That Only Blx Out of Twenty-Five Girls Receive Second Proposal. One day she remarked that she did not Intend to get married for a number of years, no matter how attractive an opportunity might be offered to her; that she was young enough to wait a while, she thought, and was In no hurry, says a writer In the American Magazine. The next time I saw her I was armed with some Interesting facts 1 tmd hKfftlhatl from a friend of mine who Is an Insurance agent. These facts dealt with the marrying ages of women in various states, and showed that the average bride is surprisingly young. In other words, the woman who does not marry before she is twenty-five stands an astonishing big chance of not marrying at all. I told her that out of every six girls l of twen-ty-five who refused a proposal only one on the average ever received a second offer of marriage. Of course, I presented these figures in a joking way. Thus they served the double purpose of giving the impression that I had a good sense of humor and also of setting her to thinking.

One of the most important exports of Singapore is rattan, although it does not make a large showing as to value, being a comparatively cheap article compared with Its bulk. Singapore Is probably the leading export market for rattans in the world, although practically none of the raw product is produced in the Straits Settlements and very little in the Federated Malay states, most of it being collected from the Islands of Sumatra, Borneo, the Celebes and smaller Islands. Ordinarily cut from the jungle by natives under the direction of Chinese merchants doing business in the interior, it Is bought up by large dealers in the principal towns and eventually sold to Singapore buyers tn bundles as it comes originally from the jungle. The buyers In Singapore take the rattan in this form and put it through a process of selection and cleaning, after which it is bundled together according to grade and shipped direct to various parts of the world.

Cod-Skin for Book Covers.

According to the Weser Zeltung (Bremen), a Berlin bookbinder has discovered TTew material for "bookbinding—codfish skin —fl doubly-wel-come discovery In these days of leather shortage. In itself the use of fish skin for book-binding is no novelty; among others, shark leather had previously been used for binding de luxe for the sake of Its durability and beautiful markings. Cod-skin has several advantages over shark-skin; It is more abundant, more easily procurable, and, therefore, cheaper. The appearance of the skin, nnscnled and proDorly prepttroiff, resembles snake’s skin. Its strength and durability have been_tested and found equal to parchment by the royal material-testing office in Berlin. It is easy to work and literally untearable, and should therefore prove a very valuable substitute for leather, not only for bookbindery, but for the manufacture of leather goods.

There appears to be some mystery "about Use origin of gold leaf. It is found, xor example, in Mnnectlon with the most ancient known mummies, having been used for covering teeth, tongue, skin, etc. Sometimes It la also found on the coffins. Gold leaf was also used on the tombs and monuments of ancient Egypt. The process of making gold leaf has thus been known since the eighth century, B. O. In the eleventh century it seems to have attained as high a degree of perfection as today. The gold leaf on some ancient Grecian pottery, indeed. |e as thin as that now used.

Night motoring may be a fascinating sport—it may be dangerous and nerve-racking. It all depends on your automobile headlight glass. To enjoy night driving your headlights should have long range. The whole road should be brilliantly illuminated. At the same time your headlights must not glare, or approaching motorists and pedestrians will be dazzled. The range of your headlight is particularly important. When your car is going 25 miles an hour it is. eating up the road at the rate of 37 feet a second, so the headlight that dumps the light in front so the car isi-nefficient.—You must have long range to be safe and feel secure.
