ONTARIO Brings Results Recent Discovery in Matachewan Area The Toronto Globe last week says: "The late shopper has one great dis- advantage. She has to take what is left, and time is spent in hunting for the desired article with many disapâ€" pointments when the right thing canâ€" not be found. As the early shopper is delighted to discover, the gifts fairly spread themselves before one these days in the shops. There is everything to choose from and more suggestions than can be taken. The truly practical person is after all the one who gets the greatest joy out of Christmas. Such a one has given himself or herself time to enjoy the festive season. Choose your gifts early. Get the Christmas spirit early, and. if you have never planned for a few hours of leisure just before Christmas. you'll do it again next year and forever after. To have time to watch the world go by at Christmas time and not to have to rush and. scurry through the stores, is some- thing worth planning for.“ GET THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT EARLY! ALSO SHOP EARLY!

An interesting incident is related in ‘regard to a small bear at Haileybury .recently. and though it has no bearing ‘on the controversy as to whether bears kill moose or not. the story is worth telling for itself. According to the tale it'rom Haileybury. a small black bear ivisited the county town of Temiska- .ming one day recently. It was speci- ially remarked for its small size. "It 'was a full grown bear," one Hailey- bury man said. “but it had never .reached its full size." The nationality 'of this man may be guessed. one guess gonly being allowed. Residents of Hai- leybury who noted the bear made ser- ious efforts to catch it, but all efforts were unavailing. The way 'it eluded capture. together with the fact that [it was below size for this time of year. made many conclude that the animal had been kept in captivity and had escaped. At the same time others pointed out that the little black bear was certainly wild enough. If its size won notice its speed\came in for even more attention. It travelled some ac- cording to the accounts. It was wan- dering around one back yard and gar- den when a dog decided to nip its heels. gThe little black bear, however, out dis- ‘tanced the dog, though it may be that a Haileybury dog would not chase even a little bear too fast. At any rate no one would expect a Haileybury dog to cnase a bear as fast as the dog in history chased the bear around a big ‘tree. The bear ran around the tree with the dog after him and the dog :chased that bear so fast that the bear overtook the dog, and that was the end of the story and of the dog.

Poise and Poise-Profiling Systems The poise is of the Avery split poise type. permitting operation of the ma.- chine at full rated capacity of 1,000,000 pounds or at one-fifth capacity, 200.000 pounds. Load readings of 50 pounds are obtainable on a micrometer dial at full capacity and even finer readings are obtainable in conjunction with low- er capacity tests. The drive for the poise propelling system is taken from the main gear box through skew gears to a friction disc drive (which permits the necessary speed variation) and from this point to the poise propelling screw via a vertical shaft fitted with a universal joint which allows the upper portion to be free to oscillate and enables the small wheel at its end to make driving contact when required with either side of a grooved friction pulley arranged on a horizontal shaft connected with the poise propelling screw propeller. Provision is also made for manual operation of the poise should that be deemed desirable at any time. Some idea oil the massive construc- tion employed in building the ma- chine may be had by consideration of the following facts: Weight. of the machine complete, 94.108 pounds; over- all height (from the bottom of straining screw tubes to the top of the weighing holder) 26' 2;"; diameter of straining screws. 5": weight of the largest in- dividual piece of.the machine. 17,360 pounds; maximum straining capacity. 1.000.000 pounds; maximum diameter of test specimen steel wire cable, 31-"; maximum vertical movement of strain; ing crosshead, eight feet. The ma- chine is equipped with autographic recording apparatus and an elec- trically propelled and controlled poise. Autographic Recorder The autographic recorder which is installed immediately behind the steel- yard in such a position as to affom: good visibility by the operator, is ar- ranged to enable duplicate records of the test to be taken. The graph paper on which the chart of the test is platted is attached to the recorder drum which rotates by means of a steel tape carried from he specimen to a pulley on the drum and so arranged that the rotary motion may be plotted as actual elonga- tions. or. if required. may be magni- fied 5.1 or 10.1 by means of spur gear- ing pulleys, The lateral movement or the pen carriages corresponds to the movement of the poise and indicates at all times during a. test the load ap- plied. The pen propelling screw which is mounted parallel to the recorder movement of the pmse and indicates at all times during a. test the load ap- plied. The pen prOpeliing screw which is mounted parallel to the recorder drum is driven through a small four- change gear box which permits the plotting of full sized charts for a series Department of Mines at Toronto Now Installing Most Modem Type of Equipment for chting of Hoisting ('ablcs. Further tangible evidence of the growth of mining in Ontario during the past decade. and particularly in the development of deep mining and greater hoisting speeds is seen in the new equipment which has been pur- chased recently by the Ontario Depart- ment of Mines for testing the strain cn hoisting ropes and cables used by the metal mines of the province. This equipment has just been delivered and is now being installed in the new wing Is now being installed in the new Wing of the East. Block of the Parliament Buildings. Toronto. The equxpment may also be said to indicate the at- tention and interest given by the Dept. of Mines to all phases of mining and particularly to those items that make for the assurance of greater success in' mining operations and greater safety for the men employed. The work 0? the rope testing labor- atory has received the highest praise from the mining industry and from the Canadian manufacturers of wire rope, for whom much important test work has been done. The techique developed by the Department of Mines in carrying on this exacting work has come to be rec0gnized' as the most ad- vanced on the North American continent and it is doubtful if such thorough and reliable test results on wire rcpe can be obtained elsewhere. Modern deep hoisting practice hav- ing resulted in the use of hoisting ropes of higher breaking strains than can be adequately tested by the original equip- ment. the Ontario Department of Mines decided late in the year 1929 to instal higher capacity testing equipment to meet this situation and to provide for large capacity tests. In many respects this new machine is unique. It is the largest testing machine installed in Canada and the largest vertical compound lever ma- chine yet manufactured in Great Bri- tain’for testing wire ropes. In ad- dition to this it embodies many spe- cial features based on the past ex-‘ perience of the‘Department of Mines testing laboratory and designed par- ticularly to increase the usefulness and efficiency of the machine for wire rope testing purposes. After careful investigation of all the foremost makes of testing equipment a contract was awarded to the well- known firm of weighing and testing machine manufacturers. W. T. Avery. Ltd, Birmingham. Eng. to design and build a machine of 1,000,000 pounds capacity to the specifications of the Department of Mines. It is expected to have the new equipment in operation about the first of the year. ld to indicate the at- rest given by the Dept. phases of mining and hose items that make any needed adjustment of the speed of propulsion. Other Special Details Among other special ieatum of the machine brief mention may be made of the hydraulic shock absorbers (in addition to the usual rubber bufl’ers) which are fitted under the weighing table for taking up the recoil shock on rupture of the test specimen: the mas- sive ball thrust washers fitted to the phosphor bronze worm shafts for tak- ing the outward thrust when load is applied: the oil pump which supplies oil under pressure to the gear box. strain~ ing screw thrust bearings and other parts: the. limit switches which prevent over-run in either direction of the straining crosshead: the special alloy steels used in shaming. gears and knife edges; the general neat layout of con- trols which are so arranged that all controls are within easy reach of the operator. of the 1 addition which a; table for rupture < sive ball MEN FROM IIIGIUVAY (“Ann’s T0 SPEND CHRISTMAS AT HOME Down at Eau Claire. where the ‘stew’ received so much publicity. the boys have made up for all the trouble they caused and are “the best outfit on the line, “ according to Mr. White.
