MANILA ROPE
Power Transmission by Long Cables OF
Philippine Hemp.

From Popular Mechanics.
Many new factory plants are discardins
betting altogether and using instead
drives Of Manila rope. For this pur-
pose the usual length and strength Of the
Manila fiber make 1t peculiarly suited. Ac-
QUESTION OF the Philippine Islands and the
consequent increased traf1c in Manila rope
have brought that commodity into COM
mercial prominence few ever dreamed 1t
would attain. 1t Is causing Manila rope
to supplant betting as a means OF power
transmission In many Of the new mills and
factories throughout America. and the
manufacture of transmission ropes has sud
denly sprung into such Importance as to be
classed among the greatest industries OF
their country. The fiber usually varies
in length from to IL feet. but in some
leaves attains length OF 10 feet. Its ten
sile strength surpasses that OF any other
fiber known to man. Official tests at Wa
tertown, Mass, have proved its strength to
be in excess of $4,000 pounds per square
inch.
OF course there are other materials used
in manufacturing ropes for transmission
purposes, but none of such general utility
as the Manila fiber that comes from the
far-off Philippines. The other materials
are steel or iron wire and cotton. Wire
rope is well adapted for the transmission
Of large powers to great distances. as, for
instance. in cable and inclined railways.
Its RICHNESS great weight and rapid de-
struction, due to bending. however, unfit
1t for use in mill service where the average
speed of ropes Is about 1900 feet per
minute. AS the easiest way to break wire
is by bending it, ropes ma e of 1t, by any
method whatsoever. have proved unsatis-
factory for drives Of g .ort centers and
high velocity.
Cotton ropes are advantageously used as
bands or cords on the smaller machine ap-
planes; the fiber being softer and more
flexible than Manila hemp, gives better
results for small sheaves, but for large
drives, where power transmitted is in con-
siderable amount. cotton rope, as compared
wit Manila, is hardly to be considered.
1t is far less durable; 1t is injuriously af-
fected by The weather that for exposed
drives, paper-mill work or use in water
wheel pits it is almost worthless. 1t Is
difficult if not impossible, to splice uni
formly. Even the best quality of cotton
rope is greatly ..iferior t the poorest Ma
Mia in strength while for the transmission
of equal powers the cost of cotton rope
varies from one-third to one-half more
than the best Manila. Manila fiber is caus-
ing America to become famous for making
the finest transmission ropes in the world.
The fiber is brought re in shiploads from
Manila, and, after being made into rope
at American manufactures is shipped to
England, France, South Africa, australia,
Japan and other countries. England was
in advance of America in successfully US
ing ropedrives, but, since our superior ac-
cess to M. lila hemp we now send rope
drives to England

Soldiers and the Slums.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
In answer, for l feel as though l must
reply in behalf of the army, to the article
which giving an account of the lecture by
Miss Curry, appeared in your valuable pa
per of the 4th instant, entitled Moral
Standards" / would say that the subject
deserves the attention of Washlngtonians
and particularly of soldiers of the regular
army stationed in and around the city. In
spite of the fact that the uniform is
spurned with some contempt in this CITY, we
have much more desirable and respectable
places to visit than the houses of negroes
living in the alleys of Southwest Washing
ton The part of the lecture which referred
to .loafing soldiers could not possibly have
been: nor is it the utterance of a broad and
INTEL gent mind but rather of a person ex-
tremely narrow minded and hopelessly blind
with ignorance. Just because one or two
soldiers are found misbehaving themselves
1t does not follow that the United States
army is composed of rowdies, tramps; etc.,
as one part of her lecture would have us
believe but with people of so great mis-
conception the exceptions always prove the
rule
For instance. If a civilian, however re-
spectacle. were found among such asso-
ciates. nothing would be said The intelli-
gence of the regular. army, individually and
as a whole. is as good as il not far above
the average. Miss Curry's aim. the accom-
plishment of charitable deeds and her ar
ticle seems TO possess ludlcrous neon
gruity. for. as she describes in 1.-The part!cu-
lar house to which, it appears. she paid
more than its share of visits, she tells of
the drunken condition of one of its occu-
: pants, old colored woman, as though 1t
were something to be known and laughed
at by every one; but l should think it would
be far better to keep such anecdotes to one
self, especially where it concerns any one S
character. They surely do no good. but on
the other hand. embitter the minds of peo-
Pile in the particular locality to which she
referred, thereby rendering reformation a
very uncertain task.

Shooting Stars.
from the London Chronicle

From The london Chronic1e.
Astronomers are concerned. Of course not
merely with the appearance Of shooting
stars at this time but with the direction in
which they appear to travel and the point
from which they came. A recent writer in
Nature gave precise directions as to what
it was desirable to observe. 1t is now
stated that a single observer, well placed,
might at times have seen about $50 meteors
per hour during this week The display
seems to have been about one-tenth as fine
as the memorable occasion of 1866 and
there is reason to believe that the "shoal''
has not been SO much diverted from its for
mer course as to cease to be Of interest to
observers on the earth. The Leonids are
so-called because they all appear to radiate
from what is known as the radiant point
in the constellation Leo

OLD WORLD FOLK SONGS

Written for The Evening Star by Guy T. viskniskki
1t was Christmas eve, and Ellis Island
was crowded with representatives of al
most every nation of Christendom. Such
was the crush that even the uppermost
tiers of hunks, reaching half way to the
high ceilings of the great sleeping rooms
were in use.
The room held a motley crowd of women
and children. yet a common impulse had
caused nearly every mother. as she put her
brood to bed, to Groom them to sleep with
the old worla folk songs of the birth of the
Savior. 1t was mighty chorus. but
despite the diversity of tongues ard the
differently keyed voices. 1t was harmonious
for the burden of the songs was the same
and through them all ran a half dolorous
refrain.
The voices of tie singers care soft and
