SOME VERY REMARKABLE
FEATS OF FAST WORK
Hospital Built and Made Ready to
Receive Patients in an Hour
Quick Publishing Performances.

In Austria a complete hospital was built
and was made ready to receive patients
within an hour. feat which seems almost
impossible even when We know that all
the component parts of the building were
at hand. 1t was in Austria, too. that the
seemingly miraculous task of converting
trees into newspapers within two and a
half hours was accomplished. At twenty
five minutes to s o'clock in the morning
three trees were cut down at ElsenthaL
AT Twenty-six minutes to 10 the trees had
beea stripped of bark. cut up and con-
verted Into pulp. made into paper and
passed from the factory TO the press. from
10 o'clock.
There are also some novel and astonish-
ing feats in the production of books Some
years ago 4 publishing house in the West
ern States received an order to produce
1000 copies of a work Of $50 pages. bound
In cloth. in three days. The work began
ON Monday and on Wednesday afternoon
the 1000 volumes We're handed over. while
before Saturday no fewer than 1000 had
been turned out.
New York claims a publishing perform
ance even more astonishing than this. An
advance copy of one of Zola's works had
been secured in Paris by the agent of the
American firm. who posted 1t to New
York. On its arrival it was translated into
English put into type. printed and bound
and was actually on sale within twenty
four hours.
Not long ago an English boot factory
turned out a pair of mems shoes in the
amazingly short space of time of twenty
minutes. The shoes included. among other
parts, two sewed pieces. two inner soles
two stiffenings. two pieces of steel to give
spring to the instep. two ran9s. two
sole Innings twelve heel pieces. twenty
upper pieces. thirty tacks. twelve nails
in the heels and twenty buttons
Remarkable feats Of swift work are ac-
complished by those who have to do with
moving railroad bridges and building rail-
roads and locomotives. The new bridge for
the Great Northern Railway at Finsbury
Park was substituted for the old one in
the short space of four hours. The work
started at o'clock IN the afternoon. when
powerful cranes were set to work to re-
move the ten ton eirders of the old bridge.
The new steel bridge. weighing more than
1000 tons whrich was resting near at hand
on six small carriages. was hauled into
position by steel crabs: Ii was rapidly
made secure. the rails were connected and
within four hours trains were running over
it. A feat still more surprising was that
of substituting new bridge for the old
one near Hatfield. Within f1fty-twn min
utes the old structure. with its four lines
Of rails. had disappeared and in its place
was new iron girder bridge carrying six
lines Of rails. all ready for traffic.
A complete locomotive engine was put
the Stratford works in ten hours. The
work began early in the morning the en-
gine being photoSra pf1ed at the different
stages OF its construction. and the same
evening it was actually at work pulling a
luggage train.
