STRANGE METHODS FOR THE NINE

and sort ing of the hemp for shipment 1t
was indeed a strange sight for the end of
this century of invention and progress.
Everything was done by hand. About fif-
ty Filpinos were at work tearing the
bales apart and sorting the stuff, which
looked like strands and twists of silvery
white hair, but which was really great
hanks of hemp. From time to time the
men would carry a great bundle of these
hanks and pile 1t up on platform until
they had as much as an ordinary mule
cart would hold. They would weigh
this upon immense steelyards which hung
from the roof, adding or subtracting in
order to get the $50 pounds. the amount
comprised in bale ready for shipment
Next would come the pressing The
hemp Is first packed In a framework of
boxes which rest one upon the other, so
that a press operated just like a letter
press can be forced down upon them. The
queerest thing was the working of the
screw. This was done by Chinese. Upon
platform high above the press thirty
two half-naked, yellow-skinned mortals
trotted about, pushing the spokes of a
wheel. Four grasped each of the eight
great spokes and all ran round and
round as fast as they could go, turning
the screw which formed the axle of the
wheel, thereby pressing the hemp tight
in the bale. bell rung below was the
signal for their starting and stopping,
and when they moved it was on the dead
run, pushing, straining and sweating as
they did so.
The bales are put up in the most eco.
