It is thought that good results would follow from smiilar attention to the subject in the leading engineering schools through the country. A convention was recently held tc or- ganize a National League for the im. provement of country roads, everywhere the subject appears to be at- tracting attention. The laterior depart. ment concludes that one method of de. veloping the lodian reservations will be to open good roads on them, so as to help the red men who are trying to be farmers.

There is a shop in New York city 350 fect long and fifty-five feet wide, where are driven by electric motors The tools are all large, and in- ude a fifteen-foot boring mail, a tens foot planer, two cighteeu.lach slottin machioes, a seventy inch Inthe an a number of portable drills. The current for the motors is supplied by two forty | horse. pover dynamos driven by belts from a 100 horse-power vertical engine. The majority of the motors arc of ten | horsepower, but there is one of five horsepower on a horizontal drill and several of 24 horse-power on the portable Idrill,. The current for each motor {can be regulated by a resistance coil so { that the motor will pick up its Joad gradually, increasing its powsr as {the load is increased. The planers re- | quired special attention on account of | the reciprocating motion of the bed. | These planers return about three times | as fast as the cutting stroke, and it was ‘soon found that at each reverse the | power required ran from 15 to 18 horse. | power, the momentum of the armature alone not being sufficient to carry it owner without poticeably reducing the & of the motor. Accordingly a fily-wheel was placed on the motor shaft to store up energy like the fly-wheel of a steam engine and give it out when the revorse takes piace. The machines are all start. ed by means of a switch placed handy to the machinist, and no current is used ex. cept by the tools actually running. Th shop has cnly been in operation a few weeks, bat in this time it is reported that the system has shown an economy of seven per cent. over shafting. --| Boston Transcript. : The Lowest Rocks, Granite is the lowest rock in 4 carth's crust.
