What Becomes Of All the Pins.

A lover of statistics has just made an
interesting calculation of the number OF
pins made daily. Birmingham holds
the first rank, turning out $1,000, OOO
every day; London and Dublin, IT,
land, 50,O0O,000. France produces TO-
10000; Holland and Germany, about
10000, 900 each. For all Europe, 3d.
600, 900 daily must be about the num-
Der manufactured. This would make
29, 200, OOO, 900 yearly, q product repre-
senting in value $4,000, 900. In the
United States we make over 81, OOO, OOO
of pins daily, or over $4,000, 600, 900 a
year, which makes 1876 for every inhab-
liant. Fifty years ago a man could
make fourteen pins a minute, to-day
he can make $4,000 q minute, thanks
to improved machinery. But despite
this enormous production, and though
pins never break and rarely wear out,
we are constantly hearing the question,
"Can you lend me pinP" And how
very often it happens that not q pin can
be found in o party of half dozen or
more. Pins disappear, then, almost
wholly by being lost-lost at the rate of
131, Zoo, 600 daily! Estimating the en-
tire population Of the globe at 2,OOO,-
OOO, 900, each person. man, woman and
child, loses less than one pin a day-in
the United States somewhat more than
one pin q day for each inhabitaut. But
as more than one half the population
consists of children or savages who use
very few or no pins, we may set down
the loss for each adult at about two
and half day. On the whole, then,
we are rather economical in the matter
Of pins, and where the pins 60 to is not
