The metal lithium is little more

cubic foot of it weighs $50 ounces.
Mercury is % times heavier.
Mirrors of platinum, palladium,

There is n specimen in the British
museum, which few years ago was
valued at $1,000.
More than nine-tenths of the hemp
produced in the United States is
grown in Kentucky, and at present
prices it is regarded as second only
to tobacco in profit as farm crop.
A pair of women's shoes made in
Lynn, Mass, to establish a record
for rapid shoemaking required 81
different operations and the use of
~ machines and 100 pieces. All these
parts were assembled and made into
a graceful pair of shoes, ready to
wear, in 10 minutes.
The limit of span wooden truss
bridges was. practically, 200 feet.
The wonderful development of the
cantilever bridge, having truss on
the beam principle, has resulted in
its being oftenest used in spans up
to 1000 feet. When the distance be-
tween piers must be 1000 or 5000
feet the suspension bridge is used.

A very striking instance OF the
deterioration of leather, produced
under conditions demanding quicker
tanning by the use of various chem
icals, thus decreasing the durability
of the material. is afforded by the
fact that the British museum ex-
ponds $4,000 a year in reminding
books in leather. Modern leather is
widely different from the material
produced by what is now regarded
as an effete process, its life being
limited to Is years. In the search
for cheaper and quicker processes of
making leather. large quantities of
sulphuric acid are used, and this
chemical, in combination with others,
causes the material to decompose
rapidly in the course of a few years.
