Fiber pipes and conduits, made from
wood pulp and treated with preserva-
tive, are now being put in use. After
the usual grinding the pulp is washed,
screened, passed through a beating en-
CINE, then screened again. These
operations completed, a thin sheet of
the pulp is wound on a core until the
desired thickness is secured. After
drying the tube is aerated with a pre-
servative. It's ends are then finished
in a lathe to- any desired form.

The United States has not yet ceased
to pay stamp duties to Great Britain,
and that without representation" in
her parliament. Revenue stamps to
the value of twenty-five thousand dol
lars were required to make legal the
ten-million-dollar deed Of gift by
which Mr. Carnegie endows the Scot
fish universities. So large a stamp
duty was never before paid into the
British treasury. Yet the Patrick
Henrys and Sam Adamses of today
merely smile.

without even wincing. At times, our
ing the progress Of the operations, the
pain would make her mighty pody
tremble from her wide ears to her lat
tie tail, but she did not move her SUI
fering foot an inch. And When the
keeper. spoke to her sympathetlcally
and coaxingly, as he cut deep into her
tender soles, she would stroke MN
gently with her trunk even while she
was groaning with agony =. p;
Men say that whenever she saw her
beloved keeper approach Marly's eyes
those piglike elephant eyes-Would
become almost humanity beautiful. The
visitors to the Geological Garden who
did not see this know that the man
never could arrive in sight without
eliciting mighty trumpetings and
stampings and other elephantine signs
of deep joy.
Under these circumstances the fact
that Marty was a great sufferer from
sore feet did not bother any one much,
for the keeper could enter her house
day or night and cut and saw and file
and sandpaper her toes till they were
in proper shape, says New York Press.
But, after almost fifteen years of I'M
interrupted companionshlp, the old
! man died. For several weeks after
that Marty permitted others to min
lister to her and was docile enough, but
without cessation she kept watching
and calling for her friend. Every APP
preaching pedestrian who looked at all
like him was greeted with trumpet
blasts until he came near enough for
the elephant to discover that he was
| not the one for whom she was waiting.
At last she seemed to realize that
| her beloved keeper would not return.
And from that moment Marty was a
| changed beast. She attacked none of
those who served her. But her be-
havior spoke clearly Of her frame OF
mind. Had she been able to speak she
could not have expressed more clearly
her dislike for all in the gardens.
| Still, with the great sense which she
had displayed during the twenty-five
years of her sojourn in the Zoo, she
objected actively to nothing except one
thing. She permitted the new keep
ers to scrub her big sides and to play
the hose on her. She submitted to be-
| ing chained and rubbed with oil. She
moved from place to place with ready
obedience. But she would allow no
man to touch her feet. And her feet
had been and were the source of con-
slant trouble to her.
! Regularly at first the keepers tried
to work at them, but regularly Marty
resented it in a manner that showed
them Enthusiastically that she would go
to the length Of dealing death to, the
man who insisted on working around
her. So gradually the keepers, who
! were not paid to act as victims Of ele-
/ phantine idiosyncrasies, abandoned all
attempt to attend to her feet. III 85i
This state OF affairs lasted for sew
eral years, until the horny growths on
the hind feet Of the huge beast had
become so great that operative inter
ference was peremptory. The ex-
perts who We're called in were helpless
for a long while. Every effort to look
lat the elephants feet was frustrated
by savage attacks. AT last Dr.. Ernest

Work has been suspended at the Mt.
Pleasant colliery OF the Elk Hill Coal
and Iron company for an indefinite
period, and while overtures have been
made for an adjustment of the differ
ences the end is not yet in sight. The
trouble arose n few days ago over the
discharge of a man named Miller. who
was dismissed for neglect of duty IN
running one of the elevators at the
shaft.
The employees took up the boys
cause. quit work and applied to super
intendent Dryden for his reinstate-
ment. This was refus ed. and In con-
sequence a strike was ordered by the
Mt. Pleasant local. The miners also
claim that they are not being paid the
yardage promised for cutting rock in
the Clark vein.
The trouble relating to young Miller's
discharge dates back before the strike
in September He had been working
outside for Sl.10 a day and when the
men returned to work he was pro-
moted to a position paying sl.25 day
under the old schedule. With the pro-
missed 10 per cent. increase the job was
worth S1.37ia per day.
When Miller received his earnings
he was only paid at the rate of Sl.lO
day. A complaint was made TO the
boss, who Informed Miller that isllO
was all the job ever paid, and If he
did not like 1t he could so to the office
and get his time.
The matter was reported to the
grievance committee and when they
failed to effect a settlement the strike
was ordered.

Will Keep Away from Mines.

At a meeting OF the oxford local
union, held Saturday evening, the em-
ployes decided to remain away from
the mines until the existing differences
between the men and the operators has
been satisfactorily adjusted. Ever
since the Peoples Coal company be-
gan operating the collierN there has
been a difference of opinion between
the employees and the operators regard
ing the scale of wages to be paid for
the mining of coal in the Rider vein.
The company claims they are paying
the same scale of wages as paid by
the Delaware, Lackawanna and West
ern company. The same scale does not
apply to every shaft, on account or
the difficulties encountered in mining
coal in the different veins. The Ok
ford men demand the same rate as is
paid by the Lackawanna company, the
highest being s1.0S per car. They claim
that but 9S cents is paid them.
Representatives of the company and
a committee of the men visited several
shafts on Saturday for the purpose of
ascertaining the rates received. and
made comparisons of the different
workings, and another conference will
be held, at which an amicable adjust
ment is expected. The cOlliery has
been idle several days as a result of
the strike.
