Where the nuttonr cnme rrnm.

WhNEe the buttons Come From.
one of the great questions of mankind
since we began to wear more than lg
leaves has been what becomes OF all the
pins?' Another interesting one Is as to
where the buttons come from They are
largely from waste and by-produots The
packing houses supply many made OF horn
and bone, and the big tin shops and can
factories furnish their share In the latter
factories there are many little pieces OF
tin left after the bottoms and tops Of the
cans have been cut off. These are saved,
ana from them buttons are stamped. Each
scrap may be only big enough for one
button, but there are so many that they
provide a large source Of supply
Many buttons are made from shells and
many from vegetable ivory. The pearl
fishers make more money out Of the shells
themselves, and just now there is a great
industry in gathering the shells of the
fresh water mussels. Such shells are used
chiefly for buttons, and it is said that at
least 100000 pounds OF them are consumed
In our own factories in single year.

In the matter of fuel saving also the
French are making great strides. They are
using the dust of their coal mines, and
making it up into bricks, or briquettes, of
about the size of our building bricks Many
of their railroad trains are run with such
bricks, and one sees cords of them near
the larger stations. In ST. Etenne they are
now making briQuettes which are half coal
dust and half petroleum, and also some
which contain 81 per cent of petroleum.
Petroleum bricks sell for about SIS per ton,
but they have three times as much heat
ing power as COAL and they weigh only
one-third as much. They burn without
odor or smoke and will keep a long time
without deteriorating.
Coal briquettes are largely used in Ger
many and also in Belgium and Holland.
The Germans make such fuel of a Ignite,
so poor that it would be regarded as of no
value here in the United States

breakfast Of the Frsnohman costs about
2 cents, while that of the American is at
least 10 cents, or Ave times as much
France has 100000 people, and at this
rate she daily spends $4,000 for breakfast,
whereas at 10 cents our breakfasts cost US
$s.O0O,OOO Had we the same population as
France our morning meal would cost us
100000 more every day than it does her,
or more than sLOOO, 10000 every year. A
similar saving goes on as to other things
and the common people are always saving
and investing. They could live on what we
throw away and still, through their knowl-
edge Of cookery, have better eating than we
have.

E t. MARRiN ARRESTED.
One of the Principal Figures In Storey
 Cotton Failure.

Buffalo, N Y, Nov. 16.--Francis E.. Marin, one of the principal figures in the Storey Cotton company failure in Philadelphia in 1905, was arrested here tonight in the lobby of the Genesee ho- tel, Marin disappeared from Philadel- phia March r, 1905, when the postoffice department raided the Storey Cotton company, and since then he has been tn Europe. He came back to America but a few weeks ago.
 Marin arrived in Buffalo about three days ago. He registered at the Gene see under the name of James Johnstone.
 To-day Postoffiee Inspector Cortelyou came to Buffalo, and with the assist ance of the local officers made the ar- rest.
 Its all off, was Marrin's only com ment when the officers took him into custody. He consented to waive ex- tradition, did not want an attorney and said he wanted to get back to Phila- delphia.
 Since 1905, he said, he had been in Europe. While there he was mixed up in several automobile accidents. He visited London, Paris, Berlin, Amster- | dam and Brussels. On Marrin's person were found check books on London anc Paris banks. Marin has a wife and two children in New York He will be arraigned before United States eommis- sioner eKating tomorrow and probably will be at once taken to Philadelphia.

the change had opportunity to inquire of a foreman how things were working under the new management. Sir v was the reply, there isn't man In the works but what would go straight through hell with the new boss if he wanted it." l told the 'new boss" the story, and all he said was, T guess they know that I'd do the same for them."
 That was the voice or 6 man-an ex- ceptional man; but what he really &C., complished represents a kind of result which we all of us will do well to keep in view. Of course strikes will contin- ue to occur after all precautions are taken. They may come to the man or the company that least deserves 1t. But we can impress upon the managers of corporations the duty of showing more solictude for the protection or the public against the disastrous results ot a strike when it does come; and the unwisdom of saying much about the sacredness of the rights of private property under the constitution at a time when such words. can only irrltate the employees and alienate the suffering public.
 Personally, I am one of those who | look with serious distrust on each eX- tension of political activity. l belleVe that the interstate commerce law dld more to prevent wise railroad regula- tion than any other event in the history of the country I think that the courts would have dealt with our industrial problems better than they have done II the antitrust act had never been pass ed. I have gravely doubted the WIS dom of some of the more recent meas ures adopted by the national govern ment But l cannot shut my eyes to the fact that these things are what business men must expect unless busi- ness is somewhat modified to meet eX- isting conditions. Industrial corpora tions grew up into power because they met the needs of the past. To stay ir lpower they must meet the needs of the present and arrange their ethics ac' cordingly.
