THE ANG LE OF REPOSE.
Depends Wholly on the Friction of the
Materials In Contact.
The angle of repose Is a well known
term in the science of mechanics, but.
besides being used in purely theoret¬
ical problems, is taken into account by
railroad and other engineers. Suppose
that we take a brick and lay It on a
board and then gradually raise one
end of the board. There will be a oer
tain angle reached in time where the
brick will not remain at rest on the
board, but will start to slide down
This is termed the angle of repose of
the brick on the board. It Is at that
point where the component of force
due to gravity overcomes the resist¬
ance due to friction between the two
surfaces. Therefore the augle de¬
pends entirely on the friction. Fric¬
tion varies with the materials in con
tact So the angle of repose of a brick
on a pine board would be different
than its angle of repose on an Iron
board, say.
Now for the application of this in
ordinary life. When a railroad cut has
to be made the sides have to be suffi¬
ciently slanting to keep the earth or
clay from caving in. The same ap¬
plies when a ditch is dug or when for¬
tifications are built in time of war.
Tbe angle necessary for this is of
course the angle of repose of the par¬
ticular kind of material through which
tbe cut is made as measured by itself
on itself, as It contains millions of in¬
dividual particles In contact The an¬
gle in this Instance is determined with
utmost ease and simplicity. A pile of
the material is put into an open cylin¬
der, packed down slightly, and the cyl¬
inder is then removed. Of course the
pile immediately slumps down into a
monnd with slanting sides, the angle
of which is the one wanted. This an¬
gle is somewhat smaller than the one
that would be taken by compact earth
and therefore allows a good margin of
safety.
There are tables got out for tbe en¬
gineer to refer to. but it is always
wiser to make s trial for every par¬
ticular condition of the soil, for there
are hardly two cuts made through ex¬
actly tbe same kinds of material In
exactly the same condition.—Chicago
Record-Herald.
How It Looked.
“Why don’t you eat your caviare?”
asked the host.
“Didn’t know it was to eat,” replied
Broncho Bob. “I thought there had
been an accident and the cook spilled
the bird shot.”—Washington Star.
Domestic Bliss.
Mrs. Henpeck (with newspaper)—It
says here that buttermilk will extend
one’s life to over a hundred. Henpeck
(wearily)—If I was a bachelor. I’d take
to drinking it.-Boston Transcript.
