Macauley'S AnnihilatOr.

On one Monday morning as Mr.. Mac
auley, the actor, was about to get on
board the train, queer-looking man
stepped up to him and asked for few
minutes conversation, which was pleas
antly granted by Mr.. Macauley, who has
less airs about him with strangers than
any actor in the profession.
It'd like to see that annihilator that
you have-that gun that shoves out like
telescope"
Certainly, sir; I have it in my va
ise. It frequently comes handy when
strangers fool with me-"
The actor went into the train, fol-
lowed by the stranger, and soon pro-
duced his "annihilator," which the 9TH
er grasped eagerly and began to work,
his eyes cleaning with delight.
"Thats daisy, by Jove it is! What's
it's ranger"
Il never really knew how far it would
shoot. It carries pound of powder TO
pint of shot, and the charge spreads
out in all directions"
"Ive got a little racket myself" said
the stranger, pulling out an immense

"Ah! Are you the celebrated Pat
Holland, poet and fighter of Pioche?"
Il am pretty well recognized in the
sage-brush country by that name.
When I haul this machinery out it
clears the streets quicker than squad
of New York police could do it. I'd
like to buy that annihilator of yours,
for sort of companion piece, as it
were, to something to balance
me on the other side"
ITO tell you the truth, Mr.. Holland"
replied Macauley, laughing, "this affair
of mine is only sham. It doesn't
shoot at adjust meant for the stage,
you know"
"Holy Moses! You don't mean to
say that you l.! can't kill a man with it?"
"Good-by, sir! I've been goin' to see
you night after night, supposin' this
weapon was the real cheese, and I'm
sold. I used to dream about it night
after night, and now to find out it's
fraud. It's too terrible!"

Visit to q Pin Factory.

A correspondent of the New York
Eve1ea11g Post thus describes the 1nys-
teries of pin-making:
The pin machine is one of the clos
estapproaches thatmechanics have made
to the dexetrity of the human hand.
A small machine, about the height and
size of a lady's sewing-machine only
stronger, stands before you. On the
back side light belt descends from the
long shaft at the ceiling, that drives all
the machines, ranged in rows on the
floor. On the left side of our machine
hangs on peg small reel of wire that
has been Strengthened by running
through compound system of small
rollers.
"This wire descends, and the end of
it enters the machine. It pulls it in
and bites 1T off by inches, necessarily,
l4O bites to minute. just as it seizes
each bite, little hammer, with con-
cave face, hits the end of the wire three
taps, and supsets it to head, while it
grips it in countersunk hole between
it's teeth. With an outward thrust of
it's tongue, it then lays the pin sideways
in little groove across the rim of q
small wheel that slowly revolves just
under itsnose. Blythe external pressure
of stationary hoop, these pins roll in
their places, as they are carried under
two series of small files, three in each.
These files grow finer toward the end
OF the series. They lie at a slight in
cination on the points of the pins, and
by a series of cams, levers and springs
are made to play like lightning Thus
the pins are pointed and dropped IN a
little shower into box.
@Twenty-eight pounds of pins is a
day s work for one of these jerking
little automatons. Forty machines on
this floor make $50 pounds of pins daily.
These are then polished. Two very
intelligent machines reject every crook
ed pin, even the slightest irregularity
of form being detected.
Another automaton asserts half a
dozen lengths in as many different
boxes, all at once and unerringly, when
q careless operator has mixed the con-
tents of the boxes from various ma
chimes. Lastly, perfect genius of a
machine hangs the pin by the head, in
an inclined platform, through as many
slots , as there are pins in row on the
papers. These slots converge into the
exact space spanning the length of q
row. Under them runs the strip of pin
paper. A hand-ike part of the ma
chine catches one pin from each of the
slots as it falls, and by one movement
sticks them all through two corrugated
ridges in the paper, from which they
are to be picked by taper fingers in
boudoirs, and all sorts of human fingers
in all sorts of human circumstances.
Thus you have it's genesis:
"Tall and slender, straight and thin,
Pretty, little, useful PIN"

Mr. Childs' NeWspaper.

The New York Evening Telegram,
in an article on the P Philadelphia Ledger,
says Of MIR. Childs, what is universally
known at home and abroad, that "his
charities are bountiful, and his liberalitv
to his old employees is only equaled by
lis generosity to strangers. Many OF
Of his assistants are old and infrm.
Those who can no longer work to ad-
vantage he pensions. One is in Europe
drawing full pay. William Y. Mexican,
man of rare ability, is the chief eai-
torial writer, and has been since 1854.
He was formerly an assistant to J. w.
Forney in the Clerks desk in the
House of Representatives. Thomas
NJ. Coleman has been the city editor
for twenty-five years, and is now in fee
BILE health, travelling at the expense OF
Mr.. Childs in Europe. Raymond John
son is city editor in Mr.. Coleman's alb
sence. The financial articles of the
Ledger are we'll written, and attract re-
spectful attention. They have been
supplied since 1910 by Joseph sailer,
who in thirty-nine years has not missed
day of serviee. The vast mechanical
interests of the Ledger establishment
are in the hands of William L. Drane,
who has controlled that department
since 1887. The Local Gleanings
column was begun by the torig1nal
Ledger man, Mr.. Charles Ritter, in
1910. Whitelaw Reid, editor of the
New York Tribune. was formerly
Washington correspondent of the
Ledger, and was succeeded by John NJ.
Carson, who acts in that capacity now.
Another of the old employees of the
Ledger is Mark Richards Muckle, who
entered the Office in 1912, since when,
as boy, youth and man, he has continu.
ously remained. At present he is
cashier, and one of the marked features
of the establishment. The business OF
an enormous concern like this OF which
we write cannot easily be understood
or appreciated by outsiders. A daily
profit of 81 900 is not made without ef-
fort. The Ledger owns very large
paper-min in Elkton, Nd, where large
number of employees constitute a small
township, and make the material on
which the journal is printed"

PASSING AWAY.

We are passing away, passing away,
Like the raindrops after the showers:
We may be blessed with health to-day,
Tomorrow the cold grave ours.
We are passing away, passing away,
Like the dew before the sun;
Then let us help along 1fe's way
Some weary, toiling one.
We are passing away, passing away
From this world of care and sin;
Then let us strive from day to day
The goal of life to win.

Then may we hear the Savior say,
You have the victory won.'

A Cave That Tells q Tragic Story,

The wonderful cave which is to be
seen near Burnet is certainly one of
the greatest curiosities of the age.
While passing through this cave a gen
tleman discovered a small aperture
about six inches in width. Having a
pick he broke into this opening, and to
his astonishment he soon discovered
large and airy apartment. Entering
this, he found what appeared to be a
stone table beautifully carved. Several
stone chairs stood in one corner of the
room. He continued his search, and at
last in a dark corner he found the
skeleton of man. He attempted to
raise it from the floor, but though he
exerted his utmost strength he could
not move it. He says that it appeared
to be solid stone. It is impossible to
conjecture who was the hermit or how
long the skeleton has remained hidden
away in that silent cave.-Ba1,1aet

Effect of Large Cities Upon Agriculture.

Effect of Large Cities Upon Agriculture.
Mr.. Mech, the agriculturist, de-
plores the agricultural loss involved in
river-pollution, and recalls the words of
Liebig: The sewers of Rome ingulfed
in the course of centuries the prosperi-
ty of the Roman farmer; and, when the
fields of the latter would no longer
yield the means of feeding her popula-
ton, the same sewer devoured the
wealth of Sicily, Sardinia, and the fer
tile lands on the coast of Africa" He
adds: Large towns, like bottomless
pits, gradually swallow up the condi-
tons of fertility of the greatest coun-
tries" Mr.. Mechi estimates that it
takes the annual product of 10000 acres
to feed London one day"
