OLD TIlS CANS.
Made Over Into Weights for Elevators
 and Window Sashes.

From the American Machinist
 was much surprised and greatly inter- ested few days since when shown through a certain establishment near New York city to find that the raw ma terial' used consisted chiefly of empty fruit and vegetable cans rescued by the cart load from the dumps of the city. had supposed, up to that time, that the only purposes for which certain material was suited was food for goats or to be attached to the tails of unfortunate ca hines The principal products of this es- tablishment, which is a foundry are win dow sash weights, elevator weights and ballast for boats The weight castings are very hard, and when struck with a hammer ring like steel. About the only tool which can be used for removing sprues and fins is the hammer, as a cold chisel or file will not stand up to the work The fracture of the round sash weights is smooth, and shows crystal ra- diating from the center likes spokes of wheel.
 After delivery at the foundry the cans are first piled into a large iron grating, located under sheet-iron hood which ter inmates In smokestack. They are sprin- kled literally with crude oil, which is set on ETe. This process consumes the la bels, loosens the dirt and melts the sol der, which falls through the grating is collected, washed and melted cast into ingots, and sold to be used again. Some of the cans, which have simply lapped and soldered joints, melt apart complete ly. These are sorted out and the sheets forming the shell are strengthened and bound into bundles to be sold to trunk makers, who utilize them for protecting the corners of Saratoga trunks They are also bought by button manufacturers, who stamp from them the disks used in cloth-covered buttons. The remainder of the cans, being machine made, do not come apart. These are loaded into large carts, taken to the Charging floor on an elevator and dumped into the cupalo. The cupalo is fed with coke and cans in alienation.
 There Is occasionally an old wash boiler or a bundle of tin roofing used, but cans form the bulk of the material The cans are so light that some of them are car ried out at the top of the stack by the force of the blast, and a large screen has been arranged to prevent the pieces from falling on the roof If among those read CTS of the American Machinist to whom these facts are new there are any who have occasion to use the elevators in the skyscrapers of New York I can imagine such wondering how many empty cans it took to make the weights which balance the car in which they ride.

Matrimonial Laxity.

From the New York Evening Post
 There is no surer sign of the insiduiou, invasion of luxury. ever seeking a new sensation for Its Jaded nerves, than the growing laxity about marriage. Let any man of middle life recall the social penal ty visited upon divorced persons genera tion ago and compare it with the cynical indifference which prevails as regards even the most fragrant cases of off with the old wife or husband ana on with the new in those circles where wealth is the sufficient passport. The difference is as noticeable as 1t Is painful.

The exhibit of the Bureau of American Ethnology will be planned to illustrate the researches carried on by the bureau. One of the ethnologists of the bureau, for example, is engaged in studying the eus- toms of the Pawnee Indians, paying espe- eial attention to their system of heraldry. The exhibit in this case will include shields on which are painted the crests of particular groups of men from the tribe, garments on which heraldic devices are embroidered or woven, and other similar objects which will serve to explain the peculiar system of this and other tribes. Various other topics will be illustrated in similar manner, and there is every req son to believe that the exhibit will ena- ble the visitor to form a clear idea of the character and scope of the work of this important bureau.
 The work of the astrophysical ohserv- atory small building in the rear of the Smithsonian, Is more difficult to illus trate In an exposition. but Dr. True will endeavor to show the results of work in graphic form, and the working of some of the more important instruments. as for example the bolometer This extraordi- nary instrument the invention of Dr. Langley. is a kind of electrical thermom- eter capable of detecting variations of ore one-millionth of a degree. It is in- tended to have an enlarged working mod el of this instrument which will register slight variations of the temperature, as for example when ones hand Is placed near 1t and withdrawn. A very large chart of the solar spectrum will be shown, and especially that part known as the in-fra-red, upon which great deal of work has been done in the observatory.
 It Is rumored that Dr. Langley Is at work on flying machine that will eclipse anything of the Kind at the fair, but 1t is impossible to obtain authentic informa- ton on this subject.
 The bureau of international exchanges will show charts and other objects ex- planatory of the useful work 1t carries on In distributing scientific publications throughout the world It is one of those quiet agencies which. without much noise or hustle, is of great service to the world

Why They Are Called "crass" Widows.

From the Philadelphia Record.
 Why should woman separated from her husband be called a grass widow?" asked a young man of the antiquary. "The term grass widow" the latter an- swered, has nothing to do with the herbage on our lawns. Grass Is a mis- spelling, sanctioned by custom. of
 grace In the past, when divorces were rare, a woman separated legally from her husband was called a 'viduca de gratia' by the Roman church, and the French called her veuye de grace The meaning of both terms is the same widow by grace. We took the 'veuve' from the French and translated it prop erly into widow but the grace we in- corporated into our language, mispelling 1t in the process. You would be techni- cally correct in writing grace instead of grass widow, but 1t Is probable that no one would understand what you meant"

To the oldfashioned mother the mighty manhood of America doffs it's hat-the old-fashioped mother who found time from her innumerable duties to look after her children, feeling that they were intrusted to her for short time only, that they in turn were to become history makers, and that she was responsible for their early training.

How They Buy Their Hats.

A writer on another newspaper dis
cusses an interesting subject as follows:
That there are radical differences be-
tween men and women is exemplifed in
no more striking manner than In the way
In which they buy their headwear When
a woman wants to buy new hat she en-
ters a shop and makes for the hat de-
partment. Arriving there she selects a
hat--any hat will do-puts 1t on her head
and looks in the mirror. The saleswoman
merely pushes her belt down an inch and
stroll leisurely toward the other woman.
The first woman doesn't like the first hat
nor the second, nor the third, nor the
forty-third. She pings each down until
there is goodly' pile about her. At this
stage the. Stately saleswoman saunters
up and asks In non-committal tone:
did you want a hat?"
The first woman tries on three more and
these over. Have you anything in the
way of perique straw with ingrowing
hounces? Then she readjusts her own
hat, looks at herself complacently and
moves along The saleswoman knows she
asks for an impossible style just to get
away.
The woman trips to the next shop, and
another. buys pair of shoe strings and
goes home.
This Is on Monday. On Tuesday she
starts In again, visiting other shops.
About Saturday she sails into the highest
priced shop, begins the usual piling up
process, and then, with a whoop of de-
light finally selzes on the last hat on the
wire heads and cries as she hugs It: "Ohi
What a love of haiti That's exactly
what she worel"
She then makes overtures to the salos-
woman, and they begin negotiations for
the possession of the deed that will make
over this hat-this and none other-to the
purchaser Minor points have to do with
retrimming, shaping. etc, and finally the
hat is hers. She has purchased 1t.
And here Is the mans way: The man
steps timidy into the first hat store he
sees. A grlm-looking salesman rushes
him down the aisle, takes off his old
derby. whips a straw out of a box.
brushes 1t on the mans head takes 50.
puts the wrapped derby under the man :
arm and escorts him to the street. When
the man gets home he finds he's our
chased a white straw hat, whereas he In
tended asking for one of those new
speckled black and white fellows.
