f EARNING POWER Do vou realise how much depends upon good eyesight, that your pleasure in life ■as well as your earning capacity is governed by the quality of your sight ? Defective eyesight, even in a small de- gree, causes imperfect understanding, and therefore less enjoyment, than has the possessor of perfect sight. Imperfect understanding must also affect the earning powers. Care for your eyes TO-DAY.

SOFT HAMMERS. 0 Soft hammers are soft now only in naroji, Thirty or fty years ago there were hammers made of babbitt, that were really soft and left no mark on a rod strap. Now they are made of scrap copper or di-os of bronze or other indes- cribable compounds. Knuckles and corruga- 5 tions gather on their wrinkled faces, and their impressions can be seen and felt all around the twentieth century locomotives. The polished cro-sheads are bruised and dented like the shield of Launcelot by the blows of circum- stance. Valve-rod bol and keys are battered out of recognition. Even the piston glands bear sad traces of the unkindly thumps that thev I have received. The chief point of attack, how- eve rt the rod straps. The distressful strokes from which they suffer begin before the engine has left the shop. In coupling up the rods there is necessarily more or less experimenting with liners to adjust the rod to the exact distance as well as to secure the correct adjustment of the $olt holes.8 The mechanic who has ever finished ) strap knows that there is a silken. softnesR Jbout a finely-finished strap or other highly polished, unhardened metal. He begins opera- tions with a block of wood. The soft hammer breaks the wooden block into a thousand pieces, and there is no time to keep up the supply of timber, so in the general hurry and confusion incident on getting the engine out the alleged soft hammer begins to get its work in. In a few months the strap not only presents a very sorry appearance, but the mechanical effect of fTiry blows has become such that the outer surface of the strap has become lengthened and the strap has closed up at the free ends, while the solid end has, by repeated hammering, bscome crystallised, and is in a condition that is ready to go to pieces when the psychological moment arrives. IIammer of lead or babbitt are com- paratively harmless and easily made. Small bars of lead are very useful in adjusting tha finer -)arts of a machine. The bar can bqr readily held on the strap, or key, or bolt-head. and a straight and effective blow can be struck w by the ordinary hand hammer. In any event. L the copper hammer, so called, should be abolished^ or reformed altogether. The element of durability is its worst feature. It hardens as it grows older. Its blows mar the finest features. Like the leprosy or the smallpo* ita victims are known at a glance. Nothing or., the, modern locomotive seems free from the perni- cious efFects of the sof"ammer from the brake hangers up to the boiler Railway,- and Locomotive Engineering." g

MODER TREATMENT OF GOLD ORES. In his final Cantor Lecture At the Society of Arte, Professor J. W. Gregory said that the gold yield of 1906 is estimated at over £ 80,000,000. It is the highest on record, and is more than twice as great as the yield of 1896, and four timea as great as the annual yield of 20 years ago. This vast addition to the gold supplies of the world is due to the combined work of the en- gineer, the chemist, and the geologist. It is iir part due to the vncreased efficiency of the pro- cesses used in extracting gold from its oreig, Gold extraction consists e&3entiallv in first re- ducing the ore to fine powder, and then remov- ing the gold by mercury, which combines with it to form an amalgam, or by smelting, or by dissolving the gold by the aid of chlorine in chlorination or of cyanide in cyanidation. The, gold is recovered from amalgam by simple char- coal, zinc or electricity. The. first process ýtJ the reduction of the ore to powder in the stamp, battery, the modern form of which is due to- California. The battery has hitherto held almost a monopoly of gold-ore crushing. its position is, however, threatened, as it is neither efficient in very coarse nor in very fine crush^ ing. In modern practice the ore is first broken into fragments by rock crushers, from which, it passes to the battery; nere it itoreduced at least to the'coarseness of fine sand, which is fur- ther Tedueed to the coarseness of clay in some machine suitable for fine crushing. The most serious encroachment on the field of the battery has however, come from the use of fine grinding appliances, and notably the tube-mill. This in™ novation is due to Australia. The coarse sand-i from the battery are placed in the tube-mill and reduced to slim9. from which the gold can be dissolved by cyanide solution. The slime readily absorbs the solution, but does not allow it to ¡ escape, so that it is forced out by means of a filter-press. From Western Australia the iira of the tube-mill and filter-press has spread to America and South Africa. The policy for which the tube-mill was introduced is unques- tionably sound, and will be continued; but it fs possible that the tube-mill itself may be re- placed by some other instrument. It has been: discarded in Western Australia and by tlia, Dennys in South Africa for the grinding-paa. which is claimed to be far more economical ict nne crushing. The encroachment on the sphere of the battery by the rock crusher on the oneo- wide and the fine-grinding appliances on the other has so reduced its range of usefulness that the Denny Brothers propose to abandon the bat teri,Itoizc-ther "nd crush the ore in a series of rock breakers, rolls, and grinding-pans.^Thia. question is one of working costs, the most im* Vartant consideration in mining probleing.

-o A NOTE FOR TO-DAY. Housewives who have accustomed themselves to rely upon dried currants as a necessary ar- ticle of daily food should avail themselves of present opportunities of laying in a good supply of this fruit. The currants now on th market are particularly fine, and, in spite of the enor- mous demands of the season, this remarkably nutritious fruit may still be had at the usual prices.
