SHOE NAILS.
The Way They Are Made and VIII!
They Are So Cheap.

The Way They Are Made and why
They Are So Cheap.
Three million separate shoe nails are
often cast from one ton of metal. OF
the smaller sizes 1000 nails are mold
ed in single mold, and an expert
workman will make eighty molds in an
ordinary working day, thus turning out
100000 separate nails.
When the metal in q liquid state is
poured into the mold it runs through
the sand in passages provided in the
molding process; the whole Of the nails
are cast together and are, when re-
moved from the sand, connected by a
network of iron one with another. In
this condition the iron is as brittle as
glass, and very little force is required
to separate the nails from the network
which holds them together.
They then have to undergo the proc
ess known as annealing They are
mixed up with hematite iron ore, which
is in q powdered state, put into iron
pots, and placed in an annealing fur
mace, a sort of kiln. Here thy remain
for some days, care being taken to so
regulate the heat to which they are
subjected that the iron will not be re-
melted, but brought very nearly to
that condition. The action of the raw
iron ore upon the brittle casting is
marvellous. After cooling, it can be
bent without risk of breaking, and it
becomes a useful and serviceable art1-

THE BANANA PLANT.
Each Tree Produces Only One Bunch
of the Fruit.

Each Tree Produces Only One Bunch
of the Fruit.
The banana plant is not properly a
tree at all. 1t has no woody fiber. 1t Is
a large, green, fleshy plant, with big
leaves six or eight feet long and some
times two feet broad. 1t grows to a
height of ten to fourteen feet or even
more, according to the variety Of
plant and the soil and climate. Each
tree produces one bunch Of fruit only,
which is really the terminal bud Of the
plant, just like an ear Of wheat or
barley. 1t has no branches, and when
the fruit is ready, which is twelve or
fifteen months from the date Of plant
ing, the tree is cut down and done
with.
But while it is growing up and ma
turing it's fruit it is at the same time
sending up from its roots other young
plants or suckers - perhaps eight or
nine of them. Each of these will pro
duce it's own bunch in turn, some Of
them in a couple Of months after the
parent plant, and there will thus be a
regular succession of fruit. Many OF
these suckers have to be dug up and
planted elsewhere. or they would be
too thick on the ground.
And there is this popularity about
the banana: You can plant it at any
season, and the fruit ripens all the
year round. When once banana field
has been planted out, all that is neces-
sary to be done is to keep it clear of
weeds and keep thinning out the multi
plying suckers.

A Human Pyramid Was Formed To
Save the Lives of Sixty Girls Who

New York, March 27.-Four firemen
perished and about a score of firemen
| and citizens were injured in a fire ac-
companied by series of eXplosi1SI that
demolished a siX-story factory building

to be due to the explosions which shat.
tered the building and crushed the
blaze beneath tons of debris at the mo-
ment when the flames were completely
beyond control and threatening to
sweep the entire block.
One fireman was taken out of the
building alive, but died almost imme-

were recovered after the fire was over,
crushed under the wreckage. The
dead:
Fireman George c. Christian.
Fireman John Walsh
Fireman Thomas L. Halpin.
Fireman J. Healy.
All of the above were of engine com
pany No. A.
Fireman Jacob Cohen and L. F. Call,
also of engine company No. IA, were
burned and bruised and removed to
the hospital.
The other persons injured were for
the most part employees in the factory,
dwellers in the adjacent tenements and
persons passing in the streets, who
were struck by falling brick and glass.
None of these were seriously hurt
Three hundred men and women
were in the factory building during the
lunch hour, when a slight explosion
occurred on one of the upper floors
and almost instantly the whole struc-
ture was enveloped in flames.
Some of the employees had time to
reach the street by the stairs, but the
greater number were compelled to take
refuge on the fire escapes, where they
remained huddled together and implor
ing assistance until the fire engines ar
rived. Before the fire ladder could
be run up policemen, firemen and vol
unteers formed a human pyramid
against the front wall of the factory
and in this way handed down to safe
