had to wait there while lot OF wheat
was being weighed. The garner is not
as large as the scale bin. and is SO ar
ranged that it can be filed while the
scale bin underneath is being weighed
and cmptied. SO there IS no Interrupt

giving way beneath us. 1t was the scale
bin being empticd. 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.
Il saw a kernel of wheat trembling on

the scale bin. for everything shook as we
fell. He was scared half to death. and

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 Il 'h-e-o-.
h-e-a.v-e: 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 We're crushed,
and all We're 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 We're all up on
the top floor of the elevator again, ready
to te weighed and sent through the bins
once more into a train of cars bound for

cd up out Of sight when the boat was emp
tied, and when saw this little kernel he
was heartbroken at having been left be-
hind by his companions.
He was Il whole fortnight in that ole
vator, sometimes on the floor. at others
in grain bins, and once he was tossed on
to Il mans hat brim, where he lay until
he was shaken off into IL bin of wheat

the place isn't worth the telling He
told me about IL big belt in the north end
of the building which turns all of the

"The belt is 300 feet long and Al feet
Wild. 1t weighs $500 pounds. On the
top floor this belt turns shaft extending
the entire length of the building. The
shaft is connected with the lofters, which
have belt buckets that do not extend
to the bottom floor and are used in shift
ing grain from one bin to another, or
sending it through the cleaner into the
big hopper above the scales. Beneath
the hopper he noticed a leg that turned
around, so that when the grain runs out
