Drop ForHings.

The machinery for drop forging il
ponderous and expensive. The plates
that stamp out the forgings are in two
sections. one Of which fits into the bed
OF the machine, and the other is fas-
tened to the arm. Together these two
plates have an opening the shape of the
desired forging. The descent Of the arm

piece of the requisite shape. After leav-

One Spoon Enough.

A Boston man travelling through the
south was obliged to stop over in a
small town where there was but one
hotel, at which the accommodations
were hardly to be called elaborate. When
the colored waiter brought his dinner,
the Boston man found that he was to
have roast beef, stewed tomatoes, corn,
peas, potatoes and coffee, the vegetables
served in the usual stone china canoes.
Presently he said to the waiter, '.Dick,
pass the spoons. The waiter rolled his
eyes in genuine amazement. Spoons,

UNCONVENTIONAL NAMES.

The Scotists were the followers OF
John SCOTS, born in 1874. died in lSoS.
Calyinists are named from their lead
ar. John Calvin, born in 1909; died,
| 1864.
The Luciferians, an early Christian
sect. took their name from Lucifer, the
bishop of Cagliari.
The Gabrielites had their name from
Gabriel Scherling. They were Ger
man sect of the sixteenth century.
The Nonsectarians are thus denomi-
mated because they claim to be unfet-
tered by the bonds of sectarianism.
Protestants were at first SO called be-
cause their representatives protested at
the diet of SYiers, in 1929, against the
action of the emperor.
The Gnostics were thus named from
the Greek word meaning ''to know. ="
They claim larger share of revelation
than fell to the lot of others.
The Augustine Friars took their title
from the name of the founder of their
order, ST. Augustine, the first archbish-
CD of Canterbury, who died in 605.
The Secularist was so named because
he thought his principal duty was to
his fellowmen, that the end and aim OF
life was to be realized in this world.
The Wesleyans were named from
John Wesley. They were called Metho-
dists in derision because Wesley and his
companions methodized their time in
order to conserve it and do the more
work.
The Hussites took their name from
John Huss, who was born in 1878 and
was burned in 1415. They were also
called Bethlehemites from the Church OF

Sons of Alabama Also Are Quite Well
Satisfied With Their Commonwealth.
Georgia was long ago named the Mas
sachusetts of the south, but did not take
kindly to the compliment. Massachu-
letts was not loved in the south in those
days. 1t is fact, however, that Georgia
has sent to the states west of her more
teachers, writers, engineers and success

the far southern states and more than any
two of the older states, emitting Vir-
ginia 1t may interest some people even
now to hear fact of which their 10
cality is proud-that John Il. Gregory
and party, who made the first gold dis
coveries il Colorado, went from the
Dahlonega district of Georgia. And it
goes without saying that Georgians con-
slider their public men just little ahead
of those of any other state, and are es-
pecially proud of their long list of tai
ented governors, from Oglethorpe to
Atkinson. Incidentally they mention

Georgia is probably the best state III
the Union for the study of climate and
its effects on mankind. Beginning at
tidewater the rise is at first gradual,
then more and more rapid to an eleva-
ton averaging near 1000 feet, and as
800 feet in altitude are equal to de-

Horse Power of a Bicyclist.

A French scientist has recently made
some experiments which show the amount
of force developed by someaof our bicycle
cracks during a hard race.
American cyclists have maintained for
two minutes speed to continue which re-
quired the expenditure of energy repre-
senting two-thirds of one horse power.
For six seconds they were able to exert
the astonishing force Of one and fourth
horse power. This is equivalent to raising
a weight Of 1873 pounds one yard high in
one second.
Experiments are also being made to de-
termine the force exerted by different
sports. These results will be Of great use
for training and hygienic data.
One of the discoveries made during the
calculation of the force exerted by bicy-
clists is that at high speeds the work of a
bicyclist in covering a specified distance
Is as great as that of man running the
same distance.
At moderate speed runner undergoes
three times the labor of bicyclist but the
higher the speed the nearer are their ex-
ertions equaliZed.

From the Chicago Herald. .
In spite of the prohibition of sparring
matches by the police rough and tumble
fight with the gloves took place in the
downtown district recently. It occurred in
a well-lighted amphitheater, moreover, and
IN the presence of more than 1000 per-
sons. The only reason that can be assign
ed for the non-interference of the police Is
that the pugilists were dogs; very smart
boxers, it is true, but plain, everyday dogs,
nevertheless. They were the star perform
ers of Prof. Burke's troupe at the Royal
English circus. They wore gloves a trifle
under the usual size, and they fought under
a free-and-easy mixture of the Marquis of
Queensberry and London prize ring rules.
II Is doubtful If any of the aristocratic
barkers at the Mascoutah Kennel Clubs
dog show could stand up with Mr.. Burke's
pets for single round. This unique exhi-
bition of canine sparring is one of the fun
niest features of the dog circus. The dogs,
too, are accomplished In many other di-
rections, and dance, jump and cut all sorts
of queer capers.

Manufacture of Eyelets.

From the Springfield Republican.
An interesting business is that of making
the little eyelets SO necessary in lacing
shoes. To one who does not understand
their manufacture, the labor Of making
them is complicated. This firm does not
make those which turn yellow and brassy
with age, but their speciality Is to make
the so-called 'fast-color'' eyelets which
time does not wear yellow nor old age
make brassy. This is accomplished by a
patent process by which the eyelets are
covered with preparation of ce1luloid
which never wears off, and the firm have
also patented a process by which hooks
over the upper holes are made so as not
to cut the strings. This celluloid prepara-
ton is not expensive. adding only 21s cents
to the cost of pair of shoes.
The plant was started in modest way
nearly two years ago in the basement of
the building. The basement of the build
ing is used to make the eyelets, and they
turn them out by the millions during the
machinists, who are engaged in cutting
the dies which cut out the eyelets from
the copper. These are cut and counter
sunk to a great degree Of nicely In an
other room there are the dozen or more
young women who patiently and with
great care pick over and sort the little
eyelets and throw out all imperfect ones
This requires bright eyes and more patience
than the average mortal possesses, as the
slightest imperfection in any one of them
condemns it.
The eyelets are made in several colors
black for the most sedate go-to-meeting
shoes and brown to match the gaudy
russell.

SHOES OF HIGH DEGREE
How Queens and Warehouses; Were
Shod.
A Rare Collection of Ancient Foot
wear of Beautiful Materials, Styles
and WOrkmanship.

The passion for collecting has seldom in
tluded anything more interesting than the
rare footwear which j. F. Swain of Mas
sachusetts has gotten together. and which
is at present in this city, in the custody of
Mr.. William Hahn. 1t contains many speci-
men shoes, slippers and sandals, illustrat-
ing nearly every style known, and the
fashions of several centuries. Mr.. Hahn
shows his collection with great deal Of
pride, and displays fondness for his I'M
derfoot pets. First among them in his af-
lection is a French slipper with a cut JAG
quarde upper of some old olive tone of
color, having the sole padded. and high
Louis Quinze heel, but minus quarter. 1t
bears date of 100. This pretty little Slip
per may some day have adorned the dainty
foot of princess or countess at least,
and gone pit-a-pat over the waXed floor Of
some state ball room in the presence Of
Louis the Grand.
For a Titled Dame.
There is an English slipper of 174O,
stamped by the makers, Thomas Rideout
and James Davis, shoemakers, near Hol-
gate, London" which is covered with white
brooaded and ribbed silk and white satin,
and very finely hand welted. 1t has sill

solved to Mother Earth once wore this neat
when Pope was making London interesting
with his Dunciad. and Swift was peopling
Lilliputia with the mannikin fobles of
those about him.
Another similar but shorter one, dated
1744, is also a welt shoe, showing exceed
irgly fine stitching. A quain. leather slip
per of $500 is of oil tanned stock, Of the
yellowish color Of the leather after being
simply cured. 1t has truly pointed toe,
suggestive of the east The makers war
rant the shoe in now half-effaced label.
This shoe has spring heel.
Next is huge oriental shoe, with a
stout thick sole of hide, and an upper of
deliberately embroidered cloth. The toe
curves up in a semicircle like the old style
skate toes and is bound and welted to the
very tip. The embroidery on the upper in
cludes gold and silver threading, and dark
green beads wrought upon scarlet ground.
The shoe is very old and evidently Turkish.
In the line of English and American shoes
there is great variety. Among them is a
pair of mems serge ties. kid trimmed, and
with the heels, which are high and shorter
than ours not nailed. but sewed from lift
to lift at the very edge of the heel
Pointed toes are nothing new, for these
shoes have them, and are well shaped, too.
They appear to be machine sewed, proba-
bly, upon the very earliest of the machines
introduced.

III when neStleS little brass buckle. The
toes are square. but delicately patterned,
and there are no heels
Spring heels are nothing newer than
pointed toes, for even the oriental shoes
had them, made of several lifts sewed tight
In front and looser behind but the real
article appears in a pair of ladies' cloth ties
foxed with kid. with narrow, square toes
There are also some ladies' velvet slip
pers, which are much admired. They are
embroidered with sprays of silk, and are
very shapely. Another pair are of black
satin, with wider square toes, and unlike
the former, have stifening. An all-kid bus
kin shown is kid lined as well, made with
the quarter overlapping the vamp, square
toe, and welt, but no heel or stiffening.
A novelty is a low-cut shoe, no higher
than the tennis shoe of today, but with a
droll little side lacing of six eyelets, hand
worked. The upper is of black basket
cloth, the vamp and heel foxing of kid
bound with silk braid. 1t was a square
toe last, with no heel or stiffening, and a
very finely wheeled shank. Like this is
one with gray checked cloth upper and a
vamp Of old-fashioned morocco.
A pair of misses slippers, very aristo-

tiers of rich blue cloth and a bronze mo-
rocco vamp stitched with white silk. The
sock lining is edged with blue silk feather
stitch. 1t is heelless and has square toe
