LABOR IN BERLIN.
Interesting Facts About the Toilers
of the German Capital.

OF the German Capital.
From the London Times,
The yearly report of the official in
spectors on the state of labor In Berlin
and it's suburbs of Charottenburg,
Schoneberg and RiXdorf gives the total
number of persons employed in fac
tories and workshops within this area
during 1901 as 233,762 or about one
tenth of all the persons so employed in
Prussia. This total includes 1928 men,
66,440 women, 14,242 young persons of IA
to 16 years of age and AZ children. or
the women 2S,OS5 are from l6 to 2l years
old and 43,405 over 21 years old.
The total number of those employed
in factories and workshops only in
creased by l.9 per cent. during 1901, as
against 1O,5 per cent. in the preceding
year. The number of male workers de-
creased by l.3 per cent, but there was
an increase of 10.1 per cent. in the
number of females employed. The dull
ness of trade has thrown many persons
out OF work, Inquiries made by the
inspectors in 1888 establishments
showed that i'm the metal and machine
industries, the building. carpentering
and allied trades there was a decrease
of from $4,000 to $4,000 in the number
OF persons employed in October, 1901,
as compared with October l900 The

per cent. of their hands. 1t was calcu-

Sewer Work to Start.

Although the summer is we'll Nigh
over, the construction of sewers and
street Improvements will be taken ur
now and pushed with vigor. The sewer
system on this side would have been
practically complete this fall. with the
exception of the Twentieth ward sewer
had the money for the bond issue been
available at the beginning of the fiscal
year.
However, it is better late than never,
and considerable work can still be
done; in fact, Messrs Fickus and Egll
confidently expect to finish their con-
tract on Section F of the Sixteenth
district main sewer line within ninety
days. The pipes and material have
been distributed along the streets and
avenues to be improved and there
will be opportunities for employment,
in few days. that will be welcomed
by many of the striking miners.

less than usual.
One consequence of the slackness in
the labor market has been to render
the housing question, especially In the
northern and eastern quarters, less
acute, since many persons have left
Berlin in the hope of finding employ
ment elsewhere. The complaint, how
ever, Is made that the suburb of Char
lottenburg, which is largely inhabited
by the well-to-do classes, puts diff.
culties in the way of the erection OF
industrial dwellings.

FISH-SCALE FLOWERS.
An Old South American Industry
Introduced Here.

From the New York Evening Post.
Domestic industries travel in a man.
ner that often astonishes the careful
student. The Indians of Venezuela and
northern Brazil have from time imme-
mortal been skillfu makers of fish
scale flowers and leaves. The denizens
of the ocean in the tropics are notable
for the color and brilliancy of their
scales and fins, the range of chronatic
tints including pink, rose. scarlet, sky
blue, ultramarne, apple green, emer-
aid and olive gold, orange, gray, lilac
| and purple. The scales are easily fast
| ened together or to wires with strong
fish glue, which is singularly dura BILE
and permanent. The industry passed
to the West Indies, where it was adopt
| ed by the Spanards and during the
Cuban war came over to the mainland
| and found a home in Florida. In the
present year it has come northward,
| and now finds a habitation in New
York city
One of the shops is not far from the
Waldorf-Astoria. and is presided over
by clever nimble-fngered woman
whose workable looks almost as deli
cate as a jewelers.. Her tools are
cloth or thread-wrapped wire, wire cut
ters. glue pot and brush. and some
compresssers for changing the curva-
ture of the scales. The scales them
selves are usually fiat when they reach
the operator, and must be concaved or
| curled in order to simulate petals, sep
ais and many forms of leaves. A fin
ished flower possesses fantastic
beauty which is unique. The shape and
color of the vegetable world are pres
ent, but there is a certain transparency
to all the tissues, firmness to the
lines, and residence to the leaves and
blossoms which are never found in the
floral kingdom. The play of color Is
often startling, and sometimes so brill
liant. and yet so subdued, as to seem
new variety of the best and richest
mother pearl.
