The trip. which ended in the target

OF SCRUB WOMAN.

AROUND OFFICE BUILDINGS.
Expense and Time of Washing the
Large Floor Areas Reduced by
Observation-Disclosures
New Ideas.

Inventive genius has made many et-
forts to displace the scrub woman. whose
labors. besides being hard. are very ex-
pensive when the scrubbing brigace OF
a large office building is taken into con-
sideration. A scrubbing machine has been
invented by Il Cleveland man, which he
claims will cut down the %scrubbing ex-
pense OF large buildings by IS per cent.
The machine has, it is said. demonstrated
this by actual experience IN n building
in that city where there were disposed of
eight floors in two and one-half hours, as
against ten ard one-half hours hand labor
formerly required. This, it is said. has re-
suited In a saving of $40 each month in this
one building alone.
As will be observed from the illustration.
the machine is operated by ar electric
motor. which receives its current through
the lamp cord shown, which may be at
tached to any convenient incandescent
lamp socket. The reel at the top Of the
trolley pole has a spring and takes up
the slack cord. The frame carries three
.scrubbing brushes. which are held against
the floor by means of spring pressure,
and are geared with the motor so as to
revolve at about 100 revolutions per min
ute The wheels on which the machine
rolls are rubber tired, and the whole ap-

the floor somewhat like q lawn mower. It
Is found that the action of the brushes
in rotating tends to draw the machine
along, so that the operator has really little
more to do than to guide it Water is
thrown on the floor and the ~scrubbing
machine guided over It by the operator.
and the work Is done.
In actual service the working girls of the
machine are protected by q zinc box which
is about thirty inches square. Its operation
Is regulated by a rheostat. and the motor
is fully protected from damage by fuses.
The brushes are set IN such a way that
the machine works along. cleaving directly
up to the line of the base board Although
the machine weighs 800 pounds, It Is moved
around with but little effort on its ball
bearing wheels supplied with rubber tires.
The gearing between the motor and
.scrrbbing brushes Is accomplished by
means Of q sprocket chain leading from
the motor to the axle on which the larger
wheels ordinarily loosely ~revolve, and from
that axle by a second sprocket chain to
a shaft connected by bevel gears with YER
teal shafts operating the brushes. This
allows the machine to be easily converted
into a hand machine II SO desired. In place
of the %scrubbing brushes. sandpaper blocks
or blocks Of stone may be used. and thu
the machine may be utilized to dress down
wood floors, the decks of vessels. or mosaic

makers of Sakai.
Industrial conditions In japan are in a
transitory state, presenting strange con-
trasts. In the same localities both the old
han methods of work n the most mod
ern machine methods may be found within
a stones throw of each other. For example,
the cotton mills of Japan are up to date
that in the city of Osaka. the leading cot
ton manufacturing center, 81. 400 men and
q. 800 women are employed in the cotton
factories. and there are also $1,000 hand
and $500 men. 1t Is stated in a recent
report to the British foreign office that
there are throughout Japan 10000 hand
looms employing $500 women and $500
Within one or two years large importa-
tons OF Japanese jute rugs of beautiful
designs have appeared in American stores
and have been sold at amazingly low prices.
This Is the more remarkable when We learn.
from a recent report of a British consul.
at Osaka, to his government, that carpet
weaving is all practically done by hand.
His description of this work Is SO inter-
esting that we reprint a portion of it taken
from the last issue OF Bradstreet's Febru-
airy 10:
The carpetmakers of Sakai. the chief seat
Of the industry. situated about six miles
from Osaka. took hints from the foreign
articles. and in due course of time improved
so much upon their earlier processes that
already in 1878 cotton and jute carpets be-
gan to be exported to Europe and Amer
lea. The trade has now grown to large
proportions. and it affords one instance of
the japanese being able to beat those from
whom they learned. Carpetmaking affords
a striking example of the successful COM
petition between cheap labor and machin-
cry. At Sakai there Is no large factory.
