The nature of engineering work is such that the menemployed in it are periodically looking for new men become available, not through any fault of theirown, -but because engineering work is inherently of a tem-porary character. A tunnel may require 2V2 years to at the end of that time the engineers who have built itare often compelled to seek other engagements, which maycarry them to entirely different parts of the globe. The business of the Engineering Agency. Incorporated,Monadnock block, Chicago, is to maintain a reliable list ofcompetent engineers, qualified for all the branches of the pro-fession, electrical, mechanical, civil, architectural and mining,for the convenience of employers who may need their services. It is a centrally located institution, that keeps in touchwith all the engineering work in progress, and it has acquiredexceptional facilities for aiding the better class of The Hendershot Coupling. N. V., which has several new features which give it greatstrength and facilitate its quick and convenient application. The general appearance of the coupling assembled andthe component parts are shown in the accompanying engrav-ings. It will be noted that two short taper compression sleevesare provided, S, S, in the engraving. These make it possibleto put the two halves of the coupling in place while the shaft-ing is upon the floor, so that it may be hoisted into positionand bolted together as easily as with a plain flanged coupling. The shells, A and B, contain cast lugs, which, interlocked,form a clutch, thereby taking the stress upon the shells andrelieving the bolts of all shearing stress and making a mostrigid and durable connection. Although the bolts are relieved of shearing stresses, abouthalf again as many more of them are used than is usual. Thisis in keeping with the very large compression area of thisstyle of coupling an
