fell. He was scared half to death, and
said that he had been shifted from one
bin to another for about q week and had
learned that there are about $50 bins
some for shipping and receiving, with a
total capacity OF 100000 bushels-in
the building. AS he passed out Of one
bin into another he was whisked through
tho cleaner and shaken down into one
sieve after another until he ley half con-
scious on the floor. Before he recovered
from his fright the poor little thing had
been picked up and weighed and meas
ured half dozen times, and hurled
headlong down a leg or tube, nearly
one hundred feet into canalboat. He
thought that his troubles were ended, but
they were only begun. Some one inside
the building decided that the boat would
have to be unloaded. The agony of this,
he said, was excruciating. First, the
boat was moved to the south end of the
elevator. There was 'h-e-o-!
h-e-a-v-ep and clanking of ropes and
pulleys, when suddenly the long marine
leg OF the elevator with its endless belt
of buckets was ruthlessly thrust into the
canalboat and began its work. Some OF
the little kernels Of wheat were crushed,
and all were terrified. The man with
the shovel was on hand again gathering
them up from the ends of the boat, and
before they knew it they were all up on
the top floor OF the elevator again, ready
to be weighed and sent through the bins
once more into train of cars bound for
New England. The marine leg was pull

shovels, worked from the outside and at
tached TO "a rope which draws them up to

the gentlest treatment received on the
whole journey and it saved one of my
cortications.
Il fell through an iron grating into an
iron box under the ground floor of the
elevator and dark as pocket. The box
will hold the contents OF several cars.
The elevator is $50 feet high, and we
were carried up to the top floor on a
bucket belt in jiffy. They had cleaners
up there and scales that can weigh TO-
600 bushels at once. We fell first into a
garner right above the scale bin, and
had to wait there while a lot OF wheat
was being weighed. The garner is not
as large as the scale bin, and is so ar
ranged that il can be filled while the
scale bin underneath is being weighed
and emptied. So there is no Interrupt
ton in the work of unloading and load
ing. After while we heard a Kissing,
rustling sound, as If something were
giving way beneath us. 1t was the scale
bin being emptied. When the noise
stopped there was a click, and away all
the corn in the garner went down into
the scale bin. 1t was an awful fall and
made me dizzy.

big hopper above the scales. Beneath
the hopper he noticed leg that turned
around, so that when the grain runs out
of the hopper it may be sent into any
one of the twenty bins at will This is
done by putting the mouth of the leg
into any one of the many shafts all
arranged in circle like the letters of a
typewriter about O circular space. Some
of the shafts were marked IS. l. mean
ing that it would lead to shipping bin
No 4. Another was marked a. II. c,
receiving bin 6, in another part of the
building, and the grain from the hopper
could be sent by this simple process into
almost any one of them. The wheat
kernel also came upon nineteen endless
bucket belts running from the ground
floor of the building to the top, and
learned upon inquiry that each one of
these belts will raise 5000 bushels of
grain in an hour. On the west side of
the elevator, toward the river, are nine
teen legs by which canal boats are load
ed and a marine leg, which is kept in
the north wing Of the building, for UNI
loading canal boats when it is necessary.
There are five scales with capacity
for weighing about 10000 bushels of
grain each And from each Of the legs
on the east side l 400 bushels Of grain
may be poured into car in five minutes.
It's flow is regulated by gate and it
can be swung back and forth SO as to
fill the car evenly. Between 100, 900
and 200, 900 bushels of grain go through
the place every day. Some of it is
cleaned in the building before it is
weighed, and the arrangement of shafts
and endless buckets is most conven-
lent for sending it from one end of the
building to the other.
The kernel / was talking to told me
that on mans hat brim he rode into
the scale-room office.
A man keeps track Of every kernel Of
corn that passes through the building.
He has an Office on the scale floor and
several assistants. Along one side Of
the room is q blackboard, having an
outline Of the plan Of the interior of the
building painted on it. The receiving
bins and shipping bins are connected
by chalk marks, showing which ones

Below this are squares numbered
after each of the $50 storage bins in the
elevator. Red wheat in red chalk, corn
in yellow chalk, green wheat in green
chalk, wheat in white chalk, and oats in
purple chalk were marked on each
square to represent the number of the
bin to which it refers. Only two of the
bins were empty last week, and the man
In charge could tell in twinkling If an
order for n certain number OF bushels of
any kind of grain should come in just
what bins he could go TO to find it. And
below this was another table that looked
like a schoolboy's formula for finding
the least common multiple. By this he
could tell just what legs and belts and
machinery he would have to connect in
order to get it ready for shipment in the
big shipping bin where it is weighed.

A Little Too Squeamish.

The virulent orthodoxy Of the Rus
sian Jewish refugees, writes the Lon
don correspondent Of the New York
Times, considerably complexities the
task OF looking after them in their
journey across Europe. They would
rather not eat at all than bite into
any unsanctiaed morsel. The very
dishes in the Hamburg soup kitchen
which the committee have started for
their benefit had TO be new. The
schaumer-a venerable, long-bearded
dignitary Of the synagogue, who pre-
sided in black skull-cap over the
arrangements-had TO give them re-
peated assurances on this point. His
presence was formal guarantee that
everything had been cooked according
TO the Jewish ritual.

moved about on the car back and
forth, while millions of kernels of corn
shot through it until the car was packed
full. Boards were put up by the door as
fast as the car filled to keep us from
splitting out. The leg gave lurch, and
was flung into one corner OF car,
while friend picked up, who had been
with me, went spinning to the other end
OF the car. We shall never meet again.
When the car was full the door was
closed, and the car was backed up and
showed ahead again, until / was told
that we were in a train bound for New
York.
There were many miles of cars in
long trains from Kansas, Nebraska, and
Missouri in Buffalo, and long tows,
schooners, and lake propellers from Du-
luth. Chicago, Milwaukee. and other
ports on the great lakes. All OF the
grain was unloaded into the big eleva-
tors and then reloaded on hundred
trains of cars and on canalboats for
transportation TO the seaboarl. Some
OF the cars came TO New York over the
New York, Lake Erie and Western Rail-
road; others yer the West Shore; and
more than either OF these came by the
New York Central. Next TO the Central

amount, and ,ome of the boats came

a Kernel of Corn Tells of Its Travels.
A kernel of corn was tumbled into q
bin of wheat on board storm-tossed
Atlantic steamship at New York bound
for Antwerp. And as it lay there it rec
ognized n kernel of wheat near by as
one that had lain beside it for n whole
weary week on the floor of old Farmer
Browns granary out in Kansas. They
were old friends, so TO speak, and had
grown up together on the same broad
acres within half a mile of each other.
AS chance would have it, farm hand
casually swept them up from the floor
and tossed one into a bin OF corn and
the other into bin of wheat, and soon
after each one was shoveled with bill
lions of duplicates upon wagon and
then loaded onto car for the ride of
1 200 miles to the seaboard.
The journey had been eventful, but
the kernel of corn had had by far the
most eventful time Of 1t. 1t was not in
a happy frame of mind, for it had lost
several of its cortications and was wan
and haggard, compared to the plump,
fat specimen it was when it lay in the
farmers granary.
