would you believe it, sir, said a
well-knOwn Strand bOotmaker the
other day, "that some 5000, 600 Of
people walk about the streets Of Lon
don daily, and ia doing SO wear away
a ton Of leather from their boots and
shoesf"
Is that really a fact?"
~Really," was the emphatic reply.
Sand the amount would be greater
if the streets were not so well paved
and attended to. The ton OF leather
l have just spoken Of would In ysar
fol m a leather strip one inch wide
and long enough to extend from Lone
don to New York;"
~And what would be its value?"
"W ell, estimating this great amount
of disinteRrated sole leather at 3D. a
pound, what it costs consumers. its
value would be R10O, 900. If 1t could
be recovered from the streets a for
tune might result to somebody IN this
shoddy leather line But, unfortu-
nately, there seems no means or re-
covering all this valuable leather,
and so no doubt it will always be
swept up in the dust and dirt. But,

which this leather can be separated
from the dirt is discovered, the in
ventor would at once become q rich

A Train Dispareher's strike Would PuaEls
the Railroads.


A Train Dispareher's strike EGuld Fuarla
the Raztromda.
During the troubt9us times when
nearly all Of the great railway sys-
TENS CT the West were paralyzed by
strikes, there was one class OF rail-
road employees that never faltered &C
It's post of duty. This was the
train dispatchers. In the thicke8t Of
the fight, surrounded on all sides BY
strikers and riotous mobs, at many
times In deadly peril, there was not
so much as an intimatiOn that any
member OF the craft once failed when
called 70 his post.
Had the dispatchers caught the
strike fever the managers and super
intendents would have thrown up
their hands in despair. without
them they would have been utterly
helpless, but so long as the dispatch
ers remained loyal they could man
age in some way to overcome all
other obstacles and keep at least q
part OF tteir trains moving. 1t is
the managers and other heads Of the
operating department OF the rail-
roads who, more than all others, APP
preciate the value ind reliability OF
the dispatchers. The general public,
even those who spend a good part O.
their lives on railroad trains, knows
little about the duties or the dis
patcheFs, but their employers know
that there is no other class Of en-
ployes burdened with such grave re-
sponsibilities. The lives OF ev%y
