MADE MILLIONS IN OLD AGE.
Remarkable Career of the Man who
Erected the First Plate Glass
Factory in This Country.

This city is the cradle of the plate
glass industry of the United States,
says an Albany Qnd.) special to the
indianapolis Sentinel. The first pol
ished plate glass manufactured in the
country is still in use in the front win
dow of a New Albany clothing store
There are two plates each about 6X14.
Capt. John b. Ford, who erected here
the first factory in the United States
for the manufacture of polished plate
glass, and whose name is a household
word throughout southern Indiana, is
still living at 81 years of age at Taren-
tum, Pa, says a recent report.
He came originally from Kentucky,
and located at Greenville, near here.
He was a natural born" inventor and
invented and manufactured machine
for chopping straw. He oonmoved to
New Albany, where he built steam
boats. His attention was attracted by
a little factory at Lenox Mass, which
was manufacturing a crude form of
rough plate glass for skylights. He
set his wits to work and designed the
first machinery for the manufacture
of polished plate glass. This machin-
cry was made at New Albany foun-
dries. He interested his cousin, Wash
ington C.. De Paw, man of large
means, and they operated the first
plate glass mandatory, which was a
huge success, but they could not agree
as to business policy, and Ford sold his
interest to De PAW. Ford then estab-
lished factories at Louisville and JEFF
fers onville. which failed.
Capt. Ford's history from this time
furnishes the most remarkable in
stance on record of man building up
an immense fortune in his old age He
was rs years old when he started for
New York but was smooth shaved and
looked much younger. He did not have
money enough to buy his railroad
ticket. He arrived in New York penni-
less but his wonderful genius for or
ganization enabled him to interest big

HAY-STACKING BY MACHINERY
COntrivances in Use in the Northwest
That W Ould Surprise an East
ern Farmer.

In the northwestern states, where
forage crops are cultivated for export
the stacking and baling Of hay is done
largely by machinery, and the number
of hands required 10 care for the great
crops that are grown is relatively much
smaller than in parts of the country
where the size of the fields and the
amount of the crop would not Justify
the investment Of large sum of money
ia plant, says the New \ DIRK Sun.
There are dozen or more styles of
stackers in common use, some of them
arranged with mast on which a boom
is rugged, carrying a fork, This fork,
d huge affair which could pick up two
or three eastern hay cocks at one mo-
ton, takes the hay from the wagon
racks, and swings it up to the great
stack in which it is to be stored.
One mast and boom stacker carries
a siX-tined fork. The mast is held in
place by guy ropes from the top. The
foot of the mast rests on a sled with
runners, which may be staked to the
ground to hold it firm. The fork is
worked by a team of horses, and does
the work of a score of men.
Another form of this stacker has a
grapple fork, similar to the dredges
used in submarine excavation, which
runs a trolley wire, much like those
made familiar to New Workers by the
arrangements for handling the mate
rial eNcayated from the subway.
Another form of stacker looks like
derrick from the oil fields. with a
boom balanced on top. The advantage
Of this form is that no guy ropes are
necessary, stakes at the base of the
derrick poles holding it firm while in
operation.
Some of these derricks are mount
ed on sled runners, and some on wheels.
which are blocked when the machine
is in use. Another variation of this
scheme is a derrick with a revolving
pole.
The hay racks in which material is
brought to feed these great machines
are longer, wider aid deeper than those
in use in the east, but are built on
lines much the same.

A MAY MORNING,

What magic flutes are these that make
Sweet melody at dawn,
And stir the dewy leaves to shake
Their silver on the lawn?
What miracle of music wrought
In Swallowed groves is this?
All ecstasy of sound upcaught:
Songs apotheosis.
The dreaming lilies lift their heads
To listen and grow wise;
The fragrant roses from their beds
In sudden beauty rise:
Enraptured. on the eastern hill,
A moment, halts the sun;
Day breaks; and all again is still
The thrushes' song is done,
