FIRES CAUSED BY NAILS.
Particularly Guarded Against by
Firms That Handle Cotton.

Speaking of insurance matters"
said a listener. 81 suppose the plain,
old fashioned nail has caused more
fires In the big establishments where
machinery is used in many and COM
plicated ways than any other little
thing in existence. The only thing
needed is for 1t to come In contact with
some other hard material with sufi-
Gent force to cause spark and heat
generation. Nails have really produced
n heavy per cent Of the cotton fires of
the country. During recent years. on
account of steps taken by the owners
and conductors of the larger cotton and
byproduct plants at the instance of in
surance men. the nail has not been
such prolific producer of fires.
"A way has been found, for instance
in cotton gins. cotton mills and in
plants where cottonseed are put
through manufacturing processes, of
extracting nails and other welghty and
flinty substances that may find lodg-
ment in these infammable products.
Gravity is the natural force used. Nails
and rocks and materials of this kind
are heavier than cotton and its by
products. and they have a tendency to
force their way to the bottom of the
heap. By allowing these products to
pass over a rolling belt arrangement
these heavier materials filter toward
the bottom and are finally extracted.
SO that when the cotton or the cotton
seed passes through the grind In the
various manufacturing processes there
is but little danger from fire so far as
these things are concerned."-New Or
leans Times Democrat.

A COLUMBUS STATUE.
The story of Brass Founders
Transformation of Gambrinus


TRANSFORMATION of Gambrinus.
A story is ted of a brass founder
who was one day visited by friend
acting as agent for one of the cities of
Central America. The agent asked
what 1t would cost to cast a statue of
Christopher Columbus for the public
square of the city. The amount was
far In excess of the sum which the man
had at his disposal. He was about
leaving In despair of being able to Sc
cure the statue when the brass founder
said:
Come bnck in the Junk yard and let
US see what can be found there"
He went back. and the brass founder
showed him a colossal statue of Gam
brlnus, recently removed from the
front Of large brewing establishment
Under his feet rested beer keg, In his
hand was large and OVERLOOKING
schooner, his beard was long and shay
gy. and about his brows was wreathed
a garland OF barley and hops.
why, this will never do" said the
commission merchant. 81 want a stat.
ue of Columbus"
"Walt until have touched this one
up. Come back In about a week and
see what you think of 1t. II 1t suits
you, you can have 1t for the amount
you have at your disposal"
As soon as the visitor had gone the
brass founder set two men at work on
the figure of Gambrinus. They re-
moved the beer key from under his
right foot and placed there an anchor
and coil of rope, from his hand they
removed the goblet and substituted a
globe. with the continents traced on
II; from his brow they took the wreath
Of barley and hops and substituted a
wreath of laurel and then proceeded to
trim up his whiskers. The finishing
touch consisted In putting at the base
of the statue "Crlstoforo Colombo"
When the commission merchant came,
he was delighted with the figure and,
purchasing 1t. shipped 1t to the Central
American city, where 1t adorns the
public square and is looked upon with
