A Modern Cannery.

A modern cannery is marvel Of me-
chanical ingenuity. After the fish Is
cleaned automatic machines do nearly
all the remainder of the work, even In
some instances filling the cans with q
motion for all the world like that of
two human hands, one holding the can,
the other crowding it full of raw fish.
I shall not attempt to enter into a de-
scription Of the machinery. The can of
fish is started rolling on its way, and
one has the impression that it contin-
ues to roll through machine after ma
chine, hardly touched by human hands.
1t rolls into the cooker and out again,
even rolls itself into a bright colored
label, and finally somehow rolls into q
