Very few people are aware that tn the heart of modern New Y’ork is a complete armorer's shop, writes E. A. Stiverkrop lu the American Machinist It is tn the basement of the Metropoli tan Museum of Art and is equipped with a complete outfit of over GOO ar morer s tools. Many of these are very old, having descended from uiaster to man or from fathe* to son through many generations. Their workman ship is excellent Where steel faces have been welded to isou bodies the welds are clean aud perfect, and the junction of iron aud steel ts distin guishable only by the difference ta Ius- ter of the two metals. The tempering of the steel faces seems to be good aud uniform, as nei ther cracks nor dents are apparent A cursory glance at these tools will at once apprise us of the origin of many of our modern sheet metal workers’ implements. The working faces of all the tools are highly polished, so that they do not "grip” the metal being worked, which it Is free to '‘slide” to the shape desired by the armorer. Every collection of ancient armor re quires technical care for its upkeep. The objects must be kept free from rust, occasionally remounted, und from time to time restorations must be made to preserve these priceless speclmeus Iu order to carry out this work the mu- suetn has arranged the shop referred to so that these necessary operations may be curried on. The armorer's tools ouie belonged to Daniel Tacbaux. but are now the property of the mu seum. Mr. Tachaux brought them to this country when be came from Paris Is 1909 to make some repairs iu the museum's collection of urmor. The outfit consists of over GOO tools aud includes nearly 100 kinds of stakes and it great variety of hammers. swages, etc. Making Rec our science could be applied to a baby have been astounded at the following Was an Event. true conclusions: b BARGAINING a fine i “As two similar bodies vary in weight as the cubes of tbeir dimensions, I BlI1j MINUTE relit» *nd t-o«luaci<,u*’ the Ori,nt*1 hat a baby two feet long shoilld we| h "shopkeeper Will H*ggl* Over th* ! “ “ T‘ «ue ‘"at«enth of a man five This Honor Wa.
