We are opposed to National quar-

many who are now in favor of such

Inconvenience than anticipated, and
prove far more Objectionable than
the so-called shot gun quarantine of
State and municipal authority. Let
us continue to regulate our own af-
fairs. Let well enough alone, and
beware of the encroachment of Fed

The tendency to concentrate wealth

Interchangeable as the law of the Modes

MANUFACTURE OF NAILS.
Interesting Facts In the History Of These

Commonplace Articles.
1t is only since 1910 that machinery has
been employed to any extent in the manu-
facture of nails. Previous to that date they
were made by hand by forging on an anvil.
and great numbers of men were employed
IN the industry, there having been as many
as CO. COO nailers in the neighborhood of Bir-
mingham alone. 1t appears that as early
as 1906 patent was obtained for cutting
nail rods by water power by Sir Davis Bull
mer. An improvement on this was patented
in 1913 and a new invention in 1890. which
last was the first nail machine in actual use.
It was patented by Thomas Clifford, and
used in French's factory at Wimburn
Staffordshire, in 1902. Toward the close OF
the last century many patents were OBJ
tanned in the United States for new ma
chimes and improvement on old ones.
Many of the first inventors spent large
sums of money on their machines, and It
has been estimated that it cost fully 81, 0O0-
900 to bring them to the perfection attained
In 1910, when a machine made 100 nails a
minute The machine invented by Jesse
Reed of Massachusetts, about 1900 is the
one which first came into general use, and
this, with some Improvements, Is the one
most largely used today. In 1910 Joseph
G. Dyer of Boston, then merchant in Lon
don, took out patents in England for the
nail machinery invented in Massachusetts,.
1t was at once widely introduced, and large
manufacturing establishments were soon
established. Some factories at Brming-
ham are now capable Of making over 40
DOC, 900 nails week.
The term penny. used to indicate the size
Of nails, is supposed to be a corruption OF
pound Thus, fourpenny nail was one
such that 1000 of them weig he'd four
pounds; a tenpenny, such that 1000
weighed 10 pounds. Originally the hun
dred," when applied to nails, meant six
score or 12o, consequently the thousand was

nails used in carpentry work are made OF
soft iron wire, pointed with the hammer,
and the head is formed by pinching them
