HOSTING ROPES.
The Threads of Wire Upon which
So Many Lives DniIy Depend

W MI" the longest ropes are used for
hauling purposes. some Of the most in
tcrcstlng data in connection with wire
ropes are obtained with their use for
hosting purposes. Hundreds of thou
sands OF lives are literally cnch day
hung by small wire thread as the
men are lowered into and hoistcd from
the bowels of the earth, and in many
cases the only means of communication
between the surface and the under
ground workings, which are from n
few feet to a mile in depth. is by n
comparatively small hosting ropr.

Bile only few inches in diameter and

hosting problems can be gained To
the honor of the wire rope manufacture
ers il must be said that very few shaft
accidents arc due to the breaking OF
the rope, excepting where the cage is
overwound and unwarrante,l demands
are made upon the rope or which are
traceahlc To false economy on the part
OF the users Of wire rope. No part OF

THE MATTER OF AGE.
Men Are often as Sensitive ms No

The National Academy Of Design rc-
Gently awarded prize 10 a woman n
competition limited To artists not
over a certain age. The artist discov-
cred that she was ineligible and re-
minded the committee of the fact. In
her frank letter renOuncing claim to
the prize the artist said, "Of course il
isn't pleasant TO have attention drawn

1t is fact that almost all women
more than twenty years old and many
men over fCrty are sensitive on the
subject of age. says the Washington
Times, but few OF them could give any
explanation of their feeling that would
not be puerile. Apparently they are
ashamed of having arrived ut years
of discretion" but they would repud-
ate that explanation Indignantly. Sure
