UNIQUE SHOE INDUSTRY.
Rise OF tho Jewish scrap and ''seconds-

shoe selling, says the New York Trib-
une. Petty shoemakers visit the nu-
merous city shoe factories daily and

kinds of leather. which they take to
their homes. and, after being inspect

night. In the meantime the thrifty
wife puts the finished product into
clothes basket and, taking a stool. sta
tions herself at the prominent corner
of Hester and Essex streets, right in
the heart of the ghetto" Here activ-
ity reigns, thousands upon thousands
OF wage-earners swarm through the
streets; the vendors loudly cry their
wares to attract the attention of bar
gain seekers. After a day of banter
ing and talking the woman has dis
posed of her shoes and goes home with
an empty basket and pocketful OF
small change. After many weeks OF
this routine the economical shoemaker
has saved enough to realize an ambi-
ton and he buys a push cart-.a two
wheeled affair much like the familiar
fruitman's Garland with shoes
bought at fire sales he pushes boldly
into some crowded thoroughfare and
lines up against the curb. A tempt
ing price. loudly proclaimed, serves to
dispose of the stock as often as he can
feplenish the same. Under these cir
cumstances the meager capital has in
creased sufficiently to enable him to
open small shoe store in Hester
street and to employ an assistant. He
searches wholesale shoe houses for
odds and ends. damaged and mismated
shoes, and picks up numerous lots for
fraction of their value. He has now
assumed the dignity of a merchant.
and has gained the confidence OF his
countrymen. Encouraged by his sue
cess and confident of his ability, he
buys in larger lots and begins to sup
ply other push cart dealers. The de-
mand eventually assumes greater pro-
portions; he attends auction sales,
which are very frequent in New York,
and realizes profits from every ven
ture. In the course Of few years his
environments become too small. he
disposes of his push cart and rents a
basement in Bayard street, among the
east side shoe jobbers.

Almost all of mems inventions have
been foreshadowed by nature. The
hypodermic syringe with which the
physician injects morphine into a pa
tents arm has its counterpart in the
sting of the bee. The tunnel-borer is
an adaptation of the work of the tere-
do, or shipworm. The principle of the
balloon Is found in certain fishes. The
industry is paralleled in
the building of the wasp's nest. In
the mechanism of mans body there
are joints and levers similar to those
used in engines. The automatic oiling
of surfaces which rub together in an
engine is on the same plan as the lu-
brication Of the joints in our body.
Mans nervous system resembles the
telegraph in its mode Of working. The
ball bearings of a bicycle or automo-
bile are not so very dissimilar to the
ball joints OF the human hips and
shoulders. The principle of the lever
was foreshadowed in the long bones
of the human body.

Comparatively few freezing caves are
known as yet west of the. Mississippi
but there Is no doubt that many will
be discovered in time, as freezing cav
ems are not an uncommon phenom-
enon. Some of these freezing caverns
incorrectly termed ice caves-are
very large. In the. one. att Dobsina,
Hungary. there is a mass of ice about
10 yards long, 60 yards wide and at
least IL, yards deep. The formation and
retention of subterranean ice always
seems mysterious at first, but it Is in
reality a simple matter In freezing
caves the entrance Is always above the
body of the hollow and the cold air of
winter sinks down into the hollow, and
on account of its weight is not easily
displaced by the lighter warm air of
spring or summer. The cold OF winter
thus permeates the hollow, and when
thawing SHOWS or spring rains supply
drip water to the cave the cold within
freezes the drip into a mass of ice, in
some cases large enough to last through
the following summer There are at
least four other theories in regard to
the formation of underground ice, but
they do not stand the test OF obserya-
lions.

And the funny man can poke
His pieces in the paper
And laugh and scoff and Joke
About the Kansas farmer
And the whiskers that he grows,
And the way these whiskers hutter
When the Kansas Zephyr blows.
But I'd rather live In Kansas,
