I ask- bles like a drunken carriage-wheel.— I In order to grind the basil of a chisel | or plane-iron true, the periphery of the ! grindstone must revolve as true as a j millstone. The first step towards put-! ting a stone in proper order is to meas ure from the centre of the eye to the periphery, on four sides, for thc pur pose of determining whether the stone has beeu jvorn olf niore on one side thau on the other. When a stone is driven by a treadle, a large part of the grinding is done on one side of the stone when the treadle is going down. In such a case, the stone should be re hung with the journal nearer one side of the eye than the centre of it. After it has been hung as true as practica ble, screw down the caps of the bear ing-boxes so that the journal will have no play; then, with the end of an old file, turn a small groove near each edge of the periphery, after which dress off each side with a sharp cold-chisel an inch or more from the grinding sur face. Now fix a solid rest close to each side of the stone, turn a small groove in each side of the stone, and seriously increases the expense.

If, how ever, they are not split when, put on, carriage makers know lu>w often they give way afterward, and how many light carriages are disfigured hy the bulging aud swelling of the felly at the tenon of the spoke. * a As a remedy for this difficulty,.MU. Jacob Woodb«rn v of Indianapolis, has . applied to the Sarvm wheel the follow- - ing new principles, which* arc claimed? to work very advantageously.. Of the • first he writes: “We make a tight joint, first, by making the tenon of thc • spoke oval; and, instead of <|oing this by filing and shaving, which qntrue and uncertain, we have.a machine that turns the tenon perfectly smooth and . true, and as oval as may be required. An intelligent mechanic at once sees the benefit of this, ’j'bq holqis npmu}. the tenon is oval j thu.^ ^ tbe:. ..wedging pressure of the tenon is upon the euds instead of upon the sides of the fiber of the wood, preventing,, , considera ble extent, the swelling and splitting of; t!l( ; fen y-” ; . . .»! " This idea, of making tbe tenons of. ‘ spokes oval instead of round,- appears to us to be a very practicable one, and it admits of wide application. Why would not every wheel be stronger - with its spoke tenons ovaied? The- points where the spokes connect,-w.ith: thc rim at one end and the hub at the- other are the two weakest points in the wheel; but, in the Sarven wheel, this weakness is mostly transferred from the hub to tiierim. This is why the oval tenon is particularly valuable in the Sarven wheel; but tbe same prin ciple applies to all wheels. The second invention of Mr. Woodbum will Ih; best understood by the following de scription by himself.
