Modern Method OF Tool Repairing.

Every engineer is now familiar with
the fact that in all modern works of
any size the making and repairing OF
tools is managed by n special depart
mcnt of the works. The good old
days" when gang of men would stand
in line waiting for their turn at the
grindstone have gone by. In modern
shop when Il tool needs grinding it is
sent to the tool department, and anOth-
er one, all ready for use is obtained at
once.
1t is easy TO see how much more eco
nOmical such Il method is, for the prep
aration of tools is kept in the hands of
people who are doing nothing else and
who are necessarily much more expert
than the general workman would be,
while the latter does not waste time in
waiting for turn at the grindstone.-

We were awarded contract for 1000
feet of copper wire for League island.
We sent the order to the manufacture
ers, and they turned in the stuff. In a
few days we got Il letter from the is
land authorities that that wire was
only 9S3 feet long.
we answered that we knew it. that
the copper ingot did not yield any more
and that we charged them only for
9S5 feet Would that do? Not bit
of it.
They sent us word that if that wire
was not brought up to LOCO feet the lot
would be rejected. Then we had to get
a permit from the L. \. TO send man
down to join on enough TO make the
demand good, and he went down and
did the work.
In n few days we were notified that
the piece he put on made the whole
length 1.0O4 feet We wrote back that
we didn't care for the four feet and
Uncle Sam could have it.
Next morning up comes an order to
cut off that four feet or the whole
bunch would be rejected Then we
had to get another permit for our man
to go down and lop it off, which he did.

Consumption of earth as food is said
to be common not only in China, New

progress of the Japanese was remarked
and the word "civiliza ton" applied to
them.
Civilization quickly spoke up a

keeping with his calm calling. Civil
lization, You don't. mean that. You
mean imitation. Everything is on the
surface Everything is temporary -

THE TROUBLE WITH DEMOC-
RACY,

A late and valuable accession to
the republican party is Paul Morton,
son of J. Sterling Morton, secretary
of agriculture in the Cleveland cabi-
net. Mr.. Morton Jr. has not only re-
nounced his allegiance to the demo-
cratic party, but has accepted cleo
ton as alternate-at-large to the repub-
lican national convention in Chicago
next month. In speaking of his
change of political faith Mr.. Morton
says that the republican party has ap-
propriated two of the former cardi-
nal principles of democracy, sound
money and expansion, and that as to
the tariff, ME believes that the repub-
licans will deal with it more wisely
than the democrats would il they
were given chance. One trouble
with the democratic party, he says,
is that
ut comes out with a new para
mount issue every four years. First
1t is money, then imperialism, and
now 1t is the classes against the
masses, or some such tommy.rot,
when as matter of fact there is no
class distinction in this country, and
the laboring man of today may be-
come the capitalist of tomorrow.
like the republican party because it
is the party that stands for the mater
ial interests Of the country-it is the
parry that has done things. Then
also have a tremendous faith in
Roosevelt, who is square through and
through"
Mr.. Morton is not alone in his ad.
miration for the republican party be.
cause it is a party that has done
things" and for President Roosevelt
because in addition to being capable
he is honest and upright. Many men
who have heretofore voted the demo
cratic ticket will this year vote for
the republican candidate for the iden,
teal reasons Mr.. Morton assigns
They may not publicly announce the
transfer Of their political allegiance
but their votes will be cast and count
ed for man who is square through

EXPORTS OF MANUFACTURES.

Exports of manufactures in the fis-
cal year which ends with this month
seem likely to exceed those Of any
preceding year. Ten months figures
just presented by the department of
commerce and labor through its bu-
reau of statistics exceed those for the
corresponding period of any preced-
ing year. The fiscal year 1900 was
the banner year in exports of manu-
features, but the figures Of ten
months exports of manufactures in
the fiscal year 1904 exceed by nine
teen million dollars those for the cor
responding months of the fiscal year
1900.
The total value of manufactures ex-
ported in the ten months ending with
April, 1904, was 1911, 49, 01, against
1852, 671, 200 in the same period of the
fiscal year 1900, which as already in
Dictated, made the highest record OF
manufactures exported prior to the
fiscal year 1904. The exhibit is sig
nificant as showing that 1t isn't neces'
sary to modify existing tariff legisla,
ton in order to increase sales OF
American manufactures abroad.

FACTS ABOUT ACCIDENTS.

General Manager Harrahan, of the
Illinois Central railroad, has wisely
ordered that hereafter particulars of
accidents, wrecks and other Happen
ings along the lines of that road be
given to the press, and that every pos
sible effort be made to supply facts
in relation to matters In which the
public has vital interest. He has
learned from experience that exagger-
ated reports are often found in the
press on account Of the inability of
reporters to gain accurate facts in re-
lation to wrecks and accidents, and
realizes that the papers do not err in
these matters willingly, but rather on
account of lack of Information. In
hopes of correcting erroneous re-
ports and establishing pleasant rela-
tions with the press, employees Of the
company are instructed to withhold
nothing that rightfully belongs to the
public and the newspapers. The pub
lie has the right to know the truth
about such matters and it is to the in.
terest of all concerned that the facts
Should be promptly available.
