Shape of Tools Which Will Make the Task of Removing an Easy One. A good tool for removing dents in gun barrels is made of two pieces of three-fourths-inch half-round iron, one piece (A) five inches long. Put ' the pieces together and file them down un til they are slack at the muzzle of a HUMAN FLIGHT POSSIBLE. Progress Jffade in Flying-Ship Coa struction Prophetic of Early and Complete -Solution of Problem.' TOOLS FOR TREATING GUN BARREL. DENTED 12-ounce gun barrel. Put a 3-16-inch rivet in the longer piece one-half inch from the end, and in the short-piece drill a hole in which the rivet will fit loosely to keep the pieces together in the barrel. File the 3-inch piece oval, as in the sketch, and make a short taper wedge so as not to stick too tight in the spreader. Now place tool in the barrel opposite the dent (short piece next to dent), warm. the barrel on a hot iron at the dent, put oil on the wedge and drive with a light hammer. The dent will come out very easily. A good size for the wedge is about 18 inches long and made of a suitable stock. With a little care and good judg ment, writes a correspondent of the American Blacksmith, very bad dents can be removed with this tool. Meat Cutters and Butcher A HANDY LEVELING DEVICE workmen.

To level up two or more points which are far apart, as posts, etc.. without a level, straight edge or THE LEVELING DEVICE. square, all that is required is a few nails, three pieces of old board, a piece of eord and a small weight; to be used as a plumb bob, says Thos. Mclntyre in Popular Mechanics. Nail the boards together as shown in the illustration' at any angle, place the two points of the boards on top of the. posts and mark where the line crosses the base board. Turn the device :about, end for end, and marie the ! baseboard again. Then raise or lower .one of the posts until the plumb lime hangs half way between the two marked lines and the posts will be level. THE SOUND OF AN ANVIL.

Liueoln, Tlebraaka If the anvil block is wider than the base of the anvil, hew it down to fit, then bore .a three quarter inch hole through the block 10 or 12 inches from the top. Make four five-eighths inch bolts with three-quarter inch eyes and a three- quarter inch bolt long enough to go through the block and take two eye- bolts on each side. Make yokes of five-eighths by one-inch stock and punch or drill five-eighths inch holes in each end. Measure- the anvil so as to have the bolts hug it closely; put the three-quarter Inch bolt through the blocks, slip on the eyebolts, put on the clamps and nuts and tighten up. A correspondent of the American Black smith who devised this method, says that it will both hold the anvil secure ly and effectually deaden its ring. Stone Guide Posts. ' Stone guide-posts are being placed in the deserts of California to direct lost travelers to springs, wells and small streams," says . Popular Mechanics (April.) "Every year large numbers of prospectors risk the dangers of the desert in their eager search for gold. Many of these wander about until they become bewildered, and after searching lor water for hours and days perish miserably of thirst. The legislature of California has appropriated $5,000 for placing the guide -posts and several counties have already undertaken tho work. Tnousands of posts will be erect ed during the spring, and it is expected that the number of deaths will be greatly decreased by this means." Three Good Rules to FoHow BY HENRY HELEN CLAYTON, Of the Blue Hill Observatory. But little more than 100 years ago the first successful trip of man into the blue sky was made, by Montgolfler in France, and our own Benjamin Franklin, who witnessed this first flight, or one immediately succeeding it, said: "It is an infant to-day, but It may become a giant." How soon the brain of men became busy with this thought is shown by a letter to Franklin on May 4, 1784, from Francis Hopkinson, in which he suggested that, the balloon vbe made not spherical, but oblong or spindle shaped and driven by a wheel at the stern. Tho first elongated balloon was built by Rufus Porter (of the United States) about 1833. Successive im provements along this line were made by the French engineer Gaffard, by Tissandier, by Renard and Krebs, and finally by Santos Dumont, and by Le baudie, who have brought the speed to 12 or 14 miles an hour. But even at these speeds the balloon is but the plaything of the wind, which at a height of 500 to 1,000 feet has an av erage speed of 15 or more miles an hour, so that the air could only be navigated by this means In quiet weather. Calculation showed that It would not be possible to increase the speed greatly, without bursting the flimsy materials of which the balloons ars built, and it is not possible to make these stronger without losing the needed lifting power. Hence, thought ful men had ceased to look forward with any great hope to success along this line. On the other hiwid, an army of eager workers was endeavoring to solve the problem of Imitating the bird and driving themselves through the air on lifting planes or wings. Volumes have been writtea to describe the many attempts along this line. Hun dreds of experimenters since the days of Daedalus have attempted flight and failed, but "hope springs eternal" and men "rise on stepping stones of their dead selves to higher things." Finally amid universal failure signs of success began to appear. Lilien- thal showed that it was possible to glide down hill on outstretched wings or planes for many hundreds of feet and land safely. Langley succeeded in flying a model carrying a steam engine for about a mile in free flight. Hiram Maxim built a large flying machine, driven by a wonderfully light engine of 300-horse power, which actually rose into the air for a brief interval lifting a weight of 7,000 pounds, but wa3 speedily wrecked. Langley built a man-lifting machine, which was caught at the moment of launching and wrecked. -A wave of skepticicm and ridicule swept through the country and many thought that man-flight was an impossible dream. But already quietly at work were two young manufacturers, the Wright brothers of Ohio,, who, following in the footsteps of Lilienthal of Ger many and Chanuts and Herring of our own country, were learning to glide down hill in a properly constructed machine, to balance in the air and to land safely. Ingenious improvements were devised and introduced and the machine was ready for the trial of a motor. Profiting by the accumulated experience of those who had previous ly tried and by the very light motora which have been developed for auto mobiles and boats, an engine for driving their machine was built and successful, but brief preliminary flight was made in December, 1903. Brief though it was, the possibility of human flight had been (demonstrat ed, and they set about perfecting the machine. By the autumn of 1905 the machine was so far perfected that there began over the prairies near Dayton, O., a remarkable series of flights. On September 26 one of the Wrights made a flight of a little over 11 mile3. On September 30 this was increased to 12 1-5 miles, on October 3 to 15 1-5 miles, and on the 5th to 24 miles, during which flights the operator remained in the air 38 min utes. The flights were made in cir cles or figure eights, returning to the starting point, and were at a speed of about 38 miles an hour. After centuries of effort, successful flight is at last accomplished. After hundreds of failures, the loss of many lives and of many thousands of 'dol lars, one of the greatest achievements in history, the conquest of the air. has auspiciously begun.

The cars can be handled by the boat derrick easily, and motoring is popular in tlie service. A Healthy Business.
