These figures tell exactly what we are doing-selling a 820.00 watch for $5.45. We don't claim that this is a 840.00 watch or a 850.00 watch, but it is a $20.00 watch. A leading watch manufacturer, being hard pressed for ready cash, recently sold us 100,000 watches-watches actually built to retall at 820.00. There is no doubt that we could wholesale them to dealers for 812.00 or 813.00, but this would involve a great amount of labor, time and expense. In the end our profit would be little more than it is at selling the watch direct to the consumer at 85.45. The Evington Watch, which we offer at $5.45 is an im. 21 jeweled, finely balanced and perfectly adjusted movement. It has specially selected jewels, dust band, patent regulator, enameled dial, jeweled compensation balance, double hunting case, genuine goldlaid and handsomely engraved. Each watch is thoroughly timed, tested and regulated, before leaving the factory and both the case and movement are guaranteed for 25 years. Clip out this advertisement and mail it to us to-day with your name, postoffice address and nearest express office. Tell us whether you want a lady's or gent's watch and we will send the watch to your express office at once. If it satisfies you, after a careful examination, pay the express agent 85.45 and express charges and the watch is yours, but if it doesn't please you return it to us at our expense. A 25-Year Guarantee will be placed in the front case of the watch we send you and to the first 10,000 customers we will send a beautiful gold-laid watch chain, Free.

This is a tough iron, and welds easily under the hammer, throwing out very few sparks. The nail-holes should be spaced equal distances apart, the holes on one side being exactly opposite those on the other. In addition to this, there should be no cracks or slivers on the edges. The width of the crease should be such as to let the nails go through easily. The material should be so tough as to allow the heel calks to be bent without breaking or showing cracks. The shoes turned out by the mills are usually finished flat, without the heel calks being bent. The bending is done by the blacksmith when he is fitting the shoes; although there are some shoes made by the mills, with heel and toe calks on, they being ready to put on the horse. There are, however, more of the flat variety sold, as the calked shoes are more expensive. Tempering Gold, Silver, and By J. Mayne Baltimore ERY recently an industry of les, Cal., as a result of the discovery by Dr. Z. F. Vaughn, of a method of tempering gold, silver, and copper. Gold surgical instrumentssuch as knives, hypodermic needles, etc. -are now being manufactured there in quantity. The delicate gold blades are as keen as the sharpest razor Thrown point downward, they will stick into a hardwood table-top and stand there quivering. Samples of the tempered gold, silver, and copper have been submitted to Dr. Julius Koebig, of the Los Angeles Chemical and Metallurgical Metallurgical Laboratories, who finds that the claims made by Doctor Vaughn for these tempered metals are fully sustained by the results. Doctor Vaughn began his investigations in 1888, and has steadily continued them. He does not claim to have discovered a lost art, but to have invented a method whereby gold, silver, and copper either separately, or in alloy, can be taken through the various degrees of crystallization which correspond to the several tempers known in the arts. By the process used, these ductile metals are not only hardened, but their density and homogeneity are brought to such practical perfection that a cutting edge is effective because of its absolute and microscopic fineness and smoothness. It does not tear--it divides; and for surgical purposes, instruments of tempered gold are said to be superior to those of steel because no microscopic speck of rust can harbor dangerous germs. Interesting and important as the tempering of gold is from a metallurgical and surgical point of view, the great commercial value of the discovery lies in its application to copper, and the widely extended use of that metal which is thereby promised. It is stated by Doctor Vaughn that tempered copper is not subject to the crystallization through vibration which limits the life of steel; that springs of tempered copper have not only as great elasticity and strength as steel springs, but, owing to the extreme slowness of the process of crystallization, will retain the spring temper for a practically indefinite period. Furthermore, he claims that, owing to this quality of tempered copper and its great tensile strength, all metal parts of machinery EMPLOYMENT DEPARTMENT TO EMPLOYERS-THE TECHNICAL WORLD MAGAZINE offers its services in bringing employers of skilled labor into communication with trained and efficient men.

N187 Chicago Mention Technical World Magazine which are subject to vibration may be more profitably-and, as in the case of propeller shafts, more safely-made of copper than of steel. It is thought that the most immediate and possibly the most extensive use of tempered copper will be for journal bearings. It is stated that owing to the great density of the metal it takes a perfect polish with use and makes an almost frictionless bearing free from danger of overheating, and long outlasting either babbitt metal or brass for the purpose. It is also thought by scientists that tempered copper, owing to its hardness and great density, will solve several important problems of electrical engineering, with the result that the usefulness of electrical machinery will be materially extended, and the consumption of copper correspondingly increased. A company has very recently been organized in Los Angeles, known as the "Tempered Ductile Metals Company," a factory established, and a force of skilled workmen employed in the manufacture. of tempered gold surgical and dental in struments. REPLACING THE SPONGE ARDREY WASHER. The most irksome task about stable or garage becomes a pleasure wherever the ARDREY VEH1CLE WASHER is in use. Its owner is never obliged to give an order for a thorough cleaning twice because a change of clothes is never necessary. Just think. no splashing, no scratching of varnish or finish, not even a drop of water reaches either expensive cushions or clothing. The ARDREY VEHICLE WASHER removes every particle of mud, grime and dir as slick and clean as a whistle, because it is operated just as easily as a paint brush. Water constantly percolates through the sponge, forcing the dirt out of it and away from your carriage or auto on to the ground, leaving a perfectly clean, unscratched and polished surface. See those tongs, either a single sponge or pieces of sponges, are automatically gripped firmly as they are pulled tight up to a perforated squirting surface, on being securely screwed into a socket, on the same principle as the WASHER itself is screwed on to the hose, just like an ordinary hose nozzle is attached. Made solidly and substantially of brass, the price is but $3.00 and charges prepaid to all points in U. S., or Canada. A hundred and one uses for this most wonderful labor saving device, and you run no risk for the reason that we refund the price paid us if it fails to do all we represent.
