THE INDUSTRIAL OUTLOOK.
INCREASED CAPITAL STOCK.
Westinghouse Machine Company Add
S25O,ooo For New Buildings.

The stockholders OF the Westinghouse
Company OF Pittsburg without dissenting
vote, decided to increase the capital stock
from $500, ,OOe to s75O,OOO. This was done to
meet the expenses Of the new buildings In
course OF erection ut East Pittsburg.
The main building OF the new shops will be
GO2x290 feet. A building for the hammer
shop and power plant will be 200x6J feet
The construction throughout will be as near
ly fire proof as possible. The specifications
call for a steel structure with brick walls,
slate roofs, wire-glass skyligh:s. etc. Within
the main building, through which switches
are run direct from the maiu line OF the
Pennsylvania railroad, will be the machine
shop, erecting shop, foundry, pattern shop,
warehouse, offices, etc. The crane runways.
each sixty foot span. with electric cranes, ex-
tend the length OF the building. The remain
ing space Is taken up with galleries provided
with tighter cranes.
A large addition OF new machinery will be
made. The hammer shop will be equipped
with one eight-ton one three-ton, one two
ton and several smaller hammers. II is esti-
mated that the cost Of buildings alone will
reach s40O.0oe. The contracts call for COM

Enormous Penhnlnma.

The only structures In Japan which
seem TO be earthquake proof are the
pagodas, which are erected before the
temples. There are many pagodas
which are seven or eight hundred
yenfs old and as solid as when first
built. There Is reason for this, and
1t lies In their construction. A pa
CODA Is practically framework Of
heavy timbers which start from
wide base, and is in itself substan-
tlal structure, but II Is rendered still
more stable by peculiar device. In
side the framework and suspended
from the apex Is long, heavy balk
of timber two feet thick or more. This
hangs from one end, and TO the other
end are bolted, at each of the four
sides, four more heavy timbers, and
II the pagoda be very lofty still more
timbers are added on to these. The
whole forms an enormous pendulum
which reaches TO within six inches
of the ground. When the shock Of
an earthquake rocks the pagoda the
pendulum swings in unison and keeps
the center of gravity always at the
base of the framework. Consequent
ly, the equilibrium of the pagoda is
never disturbed, and this is the ex-
planatlon OF the great age of many Of
them, when from their height one
would suppose them to he peculiarly

There isn't gun manufacturer in tho

intimately associated all his life with :he de-
velopment OF the two best American rifles,
the Remington and Winchester. For years
he was Superintendent Of the 4. Remington

and accepted instead the superintendent OF

a salary Of 81, 500 year. +

Being q man OF means he did not spare the
cost and was treated by leading physicians
and by baths at celebrated springs without
receiving any benefit worth notice. During
the summer OF 1898 and the winter OF 1891
Mr.. Clough was confined to his house In

bed without assis stance, and suffering con-
tinuaily with acute pains and with no taste
or desire for food, nor was he able 10 obtain
eu fficient sleep
Early IN the year 1894 Mr.. Clough heard Of
DIR. Williams Pink Pills for Pale People,
He began taking these pills about the first Of
March, 1884, and continued to do so until
the first part OF September following. The
first effec. noticed was a better appetite and
he began to note more ability TO help himself
of the bed and to be better generally. Last
August $3.50 he was able to go alone 10 b =

In Its simplest form, earachc is an In

much more serious character.
When an earache Is long continued,

Liquor Drinking in Two Countries.

Liquor Drinking In Two Countries.
1t has generally been supposed that
"hard times" lead to hard drinking,
but the British statistics do not bear
out that supposltion very loglncally.
Thus, In 1890, the amount expended for
consumption Of liquors per capita was
about $3.50, while In 1894 the sum per
capita had fallen to s17.75. On the
other hand, the figures for the decade
show that while drinking has decreas.
ed to some extent since the Flush" year
of 1890, the general tendency through
the past ten years has been to spend
more for liquor; as In 1885 the per
capita expenditures was but S1625; so
that In spite of the hard times the
drinking Is greater than II was ten
years ago. In the United States. while
In the hard times the consumption of
some kinds of liquors, such as distilled
spirits from fruit, decreased, the gen
eral tendency was In the direction of
increased drinking, 80 that not only do
the figures for 1893 show largely In.
creased consumption over the figures
for 1884, but the per capita consump-
ton is also larger than 1t was in 1892.
