MECHANICAL BRICK MAKING.
First Radical Departure From the
Methods. of the Ancients.

First Radical Departure From the
Methods. Of the Ancients.
A brickyard with an exceedingly up
to-date equipment is in operation at
Dover, N. H., which is said to be the
first radical departure from the time
honored methods of the ancients. By
this means the item of labor, which
has been one of the greatest considera-
tons of brick yard operation, is now
one of the least. Hand labor has been
almost abolished, and it's place has
been taken by mechanical means.
Thus, ne man is said to AXE the place
Of fifteen or twenty.
The time required to put the bricks
through all the various stages and
the great number of pieces to be
handled, makes the conveyor system
as now in general use unavailable
for this purpose, but an adaptation of
it was devised by which the material
is handled in units Of fifteen hundred.
These are known as stacks" The
bricks are piled in these stacks after
being shaped, and remain in the
frames until they have passed through
all the various operations. The greer"
bricks are placed in these, just as
they are piled in the stacks in kilns
under ordinary circumstances. In
| this manner they are conveyed to the
| kilns, where they are baked. Here,
| by an ingenious arrangement, the
| bricks just entering are placed at a
| part of the kiln where the air striking
them has been tempered by passing
over the drier bricks. which have been
there longer and consequently are
nearer finished. This has the advant'
age of making a better brick, for the
reason that the moist pieces are not
twisted or warped out of shape by an
intensely hot blast. It also repre-
sents economy of fuel. This plant
has been in operation long enough te
demonstrate it's economies beyond al
question of doubt, and it is exceeding
| ly likely that the idea will be adopted
in other parts of the country.

biggest Elephant on Record.

There has lately arrived in one Of
the German ports the hide and skele-
ton and tusks Of the largest elephant
on record The monster is stated to
have measured sixteen feet nine inches
in height from the forefoot to the
shoulder, which is no less than over
three feet more than the tallest ele-
plant hitherto known. Up to now the
record has been held by DR.. Donaldson
Smith, the American explorer, who dur.
ing his first trip to Lake Rudolph shot
an elphant which stood thirteen feet
four inches in height. The present
giant is also of the African species
and il the mea surenents are correctly
stated, he equals in size the huge nam
moth Of prehistoric times. The tusks
strange to say, are in no way remark
able.

SUFFER BY THEIR GREED.
Rapacity Of Many Animals Lures
Them Into Death Traps.

Rapacity Of Many Animals Lures
Them Into Death Traps.
It may be doubted whether those of
us who are able to obtain sufficient
food without difficulty can appreciate
the craving for sustenance expert
enced by sea birds and other animals
which have often, by the force of cir
cumstances, to fast for long periods.
Gulls will eat until they cannot fly,
and when they find pilchards on board
a boat will continue their feast until
they can only lie down and gasp. A
superhuity of food comes at such long
avian intellect reels at the prospect,
and what seems a horn of plenty
brings dire disaster. Seeing that gulls
and gannets know no better. we are
not surprised to hear of a John Dory,
stuffed to the very mouth, floating
helplessly on the surface of the water,
unable to escape from a flock Of sea
birds which have deprived it of it's
eyesight and will quickly take away
its life.
A snake which thrusts it's head
through the palings to seize an un-
wary frog and finds itself unable to
draw back again with the frog in its
throat has wit enough to disgorge the
amphibian and to deftly draw it
through by the leg so as to swallow ii
on the safe side of the palings, but
probably snake which happened to
be on the wrong side in company with
e frog would consume it on the prem
| ises and so render itself incapable o1
wriggling through the bars.
