"Nothing wasted" appears to be The
order In every branch Of industry. The
use of the discarded locomotive huss
for the manufacture Of iron fence posts
Is the latest illustration Of this fact. The
idea was put in practice some time ago
by It. E. Calvert, general superintendent
Of the Burlington lines at Lincoln, Neb.
The advantages the Burlington finds in
its new posts are that they will not burn
nor decay like the old style posts Of wood.
Tho cause Of the failure OF more than
one'half the wooden fence posts alsng
the Burlington lines has been fire. The
details Of the manufacture Of the new
posts from old engine fiues are so ar.
ranged that two workmen cen turn out
fifty posts per day. The Burlington will
use large number this year to replace
old wooden posts. Vsluing the discard
cd engine fues at what they would bring
for scrap iron, and counting the cost oi
labor, the new iron fence posts are turned
out for 10 cents piece, about tho same
as wooden fence post cost.

THE GET ToGETHERS."
Meeting In New York to Discuss the
Benefits Of the Paris Exposition

NEW YORK. oct. S1.-The Get To-
gether Club OF Brooklyn held his first
dinner Of the season at the Hotel st,
George last night and discussed the
subject Social Economy at the Worlds
Exposition" Ferdinand W. Peck. COM
missioner general Of the United States
to the Paris exposition presided and
made an address, He showed how inn
porant a place social economy will
have at the Paris exposition In clos
ing he said:
"The commissioner general OF the
United States and all the people Of the
great nation he represents feel that
those individuals and societies that by
their contribution or by their efforts
have rendered possible the development
of well-rounded exhibit in the social
economy group, have performed a
splendid service for their country,
which we believe win be recognized by
all Christendom.
In fact, the greatest value OF inter-
national exposltions does not lie in the
fact alone that they advance commerce
and industry in engendering friendly
rivalry between nations, but above all
else these expositions promote frater-
nifty among tine peoples Of the earth by
enabling them to come together, look
into each others faces and become i'm
pressed with the great fact OF humanity
the brotherhood Of mankind.
The exposition OF 1900 will constitute
the synthesis and will determine the
philosophy Of the twentieth century"
