available measures of trade and industrial

numerous disturbing elements, such as
Congressional debates on rate bills, dis

MODERN NATLMAKING.

A common nail is an excellent illus
tration of the difference between old
and new methods. Formerly the metal
was cut into strips and then forged
into shape with hammers, and an ex-
pert took about one and one-half minutes
for each nail. To-day they are made OF
steel, and are lighter and stronger
Strips are cut with steam shears and fed
into automatic nail machines. One man
tends three machines, each machine
dropping nail every second.

English HOnors For American Women
Mrs. Williamina Patton Fleming, Gu

vatory, has been elected an honorary
member of the Royal Astronomical So
ciety, and is, therefore, the first Amer
lean woman TO receive such distinction
in the world of astronomy. Only two
other women, Lady Higgins. widow of
Sir William Huggins, and Miss Agnes
Nj. Clerke, have been granted similar
distinction.
Mrs. Fleming has occupied an i'm
portant position in the Harvard obser-
vatory for the last twenty-five years.
The DR.. Henry Draper fund, estab-
lished in 1886 by his widow, Mrs. Anna
Palmer Draper, of New York, made
possible the elaborate work of photo
graphing the consultations, and Mrs
Fleming, at the head of this depart
ment, has achieved magnificent results
One of Mrs. Fleming's valuable con-
tributions TO the field of astronomy is
the Draper catalogue. which contains
classification Of 10000 stars, showing
the position and brightness of each.
Of the ninety eight fifth type stars
which are known TO the astronomical
world Mrs. Fleming discovered all but
fifteen. Since 1887 there have been
eleven new stars discovered, and OF
this number the location of eight stands
to the credit of Mrs. Fleming. The cor
poration of Harvard, recognizing the
