PUBLISHERS’ DEPARTMENT. 
- A Study in Graphite” is a booklet that will make 
special appeal to the inquiring mind. It gives in detail 
a series of tests of graphite made by Prof. W. F. M. 
Goss, of Purdue University. '1 hese tests were not made 
with a view to finding points for or against graphite, but 
were conducted in the spirit of scientific research. The 
study opens with a dissertation by Prof. Goss based 
upon the conclusions drawn from the results of the 
tests. Then follow complete descriptions of the tests, 
together with illustrations of the testing machine, made 
from photographs and drawings. The condition of the 
bearings and journal is shown bv photographs taken at 
■ different stages of the tests. A limited number of copies 
will be distributed free of charge to all those interested 
in the science of graphite lubrication. Address the 
] Joseph Dixon Crucible Company, Jersey City, N. 1. 
At the present day reels are made of such astonishing 
perfection that it is hard for those who 1 have not gone 
j into the subject to understand their delicacy, the 
! smoothness with whioh they run, and their strength. 
Among the best reels made are those manufactured by 
Messrs. A. F. Meisselbach & Bro., of 25 Prospect street, 
Newark, N._ T. Prominent among these are their Take- 
apart and lripart reels, about which full information is 
given in the booklet which Messrs. Meisselbach & Bro.

missed a lot of pleasure. This firm's bait-casting rods

rods. 11ns system of twisting the six strips slightly, to

up split bamboo, for amateur work, can be had there
