PEARL BUTTON INDUSTRY.
Revival of an Industry blasted By Tariff
Reduction.

Revival of an Industry Blasted BY Tarah
Reduction.
The new Tariff bill has resurrected
the pearl button industry in the United
States. and the entire supply of pearl
buttons for this country will hereafter
come from home factories.
The decline of this industry in Amer
lea after the reduction of the tariff in
1888 was sudden and sweeping. Its re-
vival under the new bill promises to be
Just as sudden. and in a very few
months it is predicted that it will be on
a firmer basis than it ever was before.
The factories that are now in operation
can not begin to get as many workmen
as they want. Notwithstanding the fact
that firms have been advertising for
men for weeks. Several manufacturers
have already advanced the wages OF
their men One of the first firms in
Philadelphia to increase wages was
that of Lazarus, Swartz & Upper, pro-
prietors of the Bidde Button Works
They made new schedule of wages
allowing an increase of from fifteen to
twenty per cent Isaac A. Swartz, OF
this firm, in speaking of the past and
future of the industry, said:
The new Tariff bill has increased the duty
on pearl buttons about 100 per cent which
Is practically prohibitory, but places the
manufacturers OF this country in better
position than they have ever been. We
have been enabled by the increase of duty
to advance the wages of our men from l, to
20 per cent. This means that men who have
been earning from SIC to Sis per week will in
the future earn from SIS to s2j per week. 1t
means even more than that. for all the pearl
buttons that are made in tn country from
now on will be made here. and that means
the starting # new factories and the giving
of employme nt to $500 or 3,OD men.
Several thousand workmen were en-
ployed some years ago in the twenty
one pearl button manufactures OF
Newark, with good wages and steady
employment Congress reduced the
duty on foreign buttons. and the result
was that three-fourths of the factories
were closed, while wages were reduced
in those that remained open. Applica-
ton for relief was made to the Mills
committee in vain. Pearl buttons made
in Austr. an prisons flooded the market
The bill had scarcely been signed be-
fore the Newark factories. that had
been SO long silent began to start up
again. Before Christmas score Of fac
tories will be in full operation, with
workers receiving the old time wages
A like improvement is expected to
take place in the Newark thread indus
try. The Clark Company alone employs
J, 1000 bands and pays SEQ. 600 in wages
weekly: The protective tariff made a.
great industry of this in the United
States after 1t had been brought from
Scotland. and the new tariff will give it
protection, without increasing the price
to the consumer, who now gets thread
1t one-fourth of the cost which was
formerly demanded for the imported
article.

A Boy Suffers for Dogs Theft.

A shaggy and valuable Newfoundland
dog is the household pet in the family of
John Jones, a mason, who lives in
Brooklyn. This animal was the innocent
cause of the arrest and arraignment be-
fore Justice Kenna in the Gates Avenue
Police Court, of Edward Cook, bright
lad of thirteen years, who has been en-
ployed for several months past in the
bakery of Charles Hillman. The little
fellow was arrested for stealing Mrs.
Jones's pocketbook. The dog was the
thief, and only by accident was the in
nocence of the lad established.
Edward delivered several loaves of
bread to Mr.. Jones's family every day.
When he went to the house on Tuesday
afternoon Mrs. Jones who usually re-
ceived the bread, was absent, and he
left the order on the dining room table
and returned to the bakery. Mrs. Jones
subsequently came down from an upper
room and missed her pocketbook, that
contained S45, and which she was posi-
tive was lying on the table when she
went up stairs She Immediately sus-
pected the boy and caused his arrest.
He asserted his innocence in the most
positive language, but was locked up
The police searched the lad, but found
no evidence of the theft on him, and the
baker made a search of the bake house.
When Mrs. Jones returned home she
made another search of her rooms for the
missing wallet, but could not find it.
While she was engaged in the search the
favorite pet dog lay stretched before the
fireplace. The dog was allowed to roam
about the house at will. His kennel was
in the yard, and every night it was the
custom of some one of the family to pre-
pare the dogs bed there. Mrs. Jones
went to the kennel at dusk and there
found the missing pocketbook. 1t lay
in the middle of the kennel and the teeth
marks of her dog in the leather con-
WINGED her that he, and not young Cook,
had committed the theft. She found
tine money intact and hurried TO the sta
ton house but the police could not re-
lease Edward except on an order from
a magistrate or bail bond. After an
other hours confinement the lad secured
his liberty and yesterday morning was
honorably discharged from custody. Had
the properly not been found the boy
might have spent many days in Jail
awaiting the disposition of the charge
against him.-Ne.o York Herald.

Few inventions have conferred greater

although some are in favor of Roger

The Compass.

The compass needle points to the north
because practically the earth is magnet,
not differing essentially in its magnetic
properties from bar of magnetized steel.
It has two poles of greatest intensity,
and like most large steel magnets there
are several supplemental poles of lesser
intensity. Just as the pole of one bar
magnet attracts the end OF another, so the
magnetic poles of the earth behave to-
ward poies q hi compass needle, unlike
poles attracting, and ike poles repelling
each other
1t Is well to modify the statement that
the needle points north and south; as a
matter Of fact. there are but few locali-
ties on the earth where it does point due
north and south, and these are constantly
changing. An irregular line drawn from
the mouth of the Orinoco River, through
the east coast Of Hayti, Charleston, S. c.,
and Detroit, Mich, represents very nearly
the line in which there is no variation at
the present time. In all the places east
of this line the north end of the needle
swings slightly to the westward; In all
places west of it, to the eastward. At
the mouth of the Columbia River the
variation of the compass is about twenty
two degrees east; in Alaska it is from
forty to sixty degrees east; midway be-
tween New York and Liverpool it is about
thirty-ive degrees west.
The reason Is that the compass needle
points, not to the geographical, but to
the magnetic poles, and these do not
coincide in position The magnetic north
pole is, at present, on or near the south
western shore of Boothia Peninsula, in the
. jrthern part of North America.
Its position is constantly changing, and
in the last five hundred years it has moved
about half the distance round the geo
graphical pole. During the three hun
dred years in which observations have
been carefully made at the Magnetic OBJ
servatory in Paris, the variations have
changed from eleven degrees twenty
minutes east of north, to twenty-five de-
grees ten minutes west.
In the United States the rate of the
change in variation differs much in diff
ferent parts of the country. In Wash
ington State it changes at the rate of
about seven minutes a year; in Arizona
and New Mexico it is stationary; in the
New England States it is from one to
three minutes per year.
