MACHINES SURPRISED HIM.
French Engineer on Economy of
Our Machine Shops. si

An expert French observer thinks
that although we Americans may waste
food we certainly do not waste energy.
4 French officer of engineers gave the
following account recently of what he
had seen in American factories:
II have been in America six months,
and have visited the mines and manu-
featuring establishments in the East,
West North and South. I have seen
the most gigantic engineering opera
tions and the most powerful machinery
in the world, but I shall report to my
Government that the biggest things in
America are the little things. The
French people are experts in domestic
economy, and live comfortably by saw
ing what your average families throw
away. But Americans are, on the 9TH
er hand. experts in industrial economy.
You make money by saving wastage
in business, and you lose some of it by
wastage in your domestic economy. The
attention paid to small details in your
big works is amazing to me. l have
visited some establishments where L be-
lieve the profits are not made in the
manufacture proper, but in the saving
of materials and labor by close atten-
ton to details that are with us uncon-
sidered trifies. For example. l saw in
your shops just now little grindstone
in operation automatically sharpening
tools This machine cost, probably, as
much as one hundred of our ordinary
grindstones cost, but I see that it au-
tomatical1y grinds all the tools for
800 high priced mechanics, and 1t only
works a few hours each day The
skilled mechanics in our country fire.
quently stop their regular work to
grind their own tools, and then they do
it imperfectly Your tools are all ac-
curately ground to the best shape by
the machine, SO that they do more and
better work on this account in given
time. | believe that that machine has
brains-the brains of the inventor-and
it has no doubt. revolutionized work of
this kind in American machine shops.

very best and strongest of all travelling
combinations While the show is made
up of a series of laughs from the raise
of the curtain to the drop there is not
one line that is in the least suggestive,

appeal only to the finer sense of hu-
NOR. At the head of the list Of talent
is the famous Helene Mora, recognized
as the greatest female baritone in the
country. She will appear in number
of popular selections, closing with d
song written specially for her and en-
titled For Old Glory" which is pro-

Verdi continues to live in retirement
in his villa at St. Agata. His chief de-
light is his garden. He makes it his
duty to tend and water the lines of
pots of camellias and geraniums, and
after his cup of black coffee he devotes
the whole of his early mornings to
this task. Verdi writes letters daily,
and composes little each day, though
of late years more for recreation and
pleasure than for the sake of actual
work In walking his attitude is that

Few persons have seen him smile, much

The queen, as is generally known, is

routine or daily life Her duties are
so carefully planned out for the day
that not a single moment is lost. On
one occasion the queens drive was
abandoned, owing to the state of the
weather, but on its clearing up half an
hour later message was sent to Prin-
cess Beatrice, who was to accompany
her majesty-"The queen drives in
ten minutes" The princess had just
changed her outdoor dress when the
order was countermanded, but was
ready. Another instance of her ma
iesty's exactness was given on the
grea' and exciting jubilee day, when
she was informed that the carriage had
arrived twenty minutes before the time
appointed. She declined to enter It
until the hour arranged. Imagine the
