THE MODERN GRAIN ELEVATOR.
II. Is . Group % Enormous Tanks Made OF
Hollow Thing.

There has been q revolution in grain
elevator construction in recent years. In
the familiar tall red structure which is a
common accessory OF the Western land
scape the grain bins and machinery were in
the same building.
Nowadays. according to Insurance En-
0iHeerin0, the practice is 20 put the ma
chknery in a separate building and store tho
grain in large tanks connected with the
machinery building by belt conv eyors.
There is little doubt hat the old fashioned
wooden grain elevator with all its ob1ec-
tionable features is a thing OF the past.
In the mode IN grain tank Of hollow
terra Gotta tile, built circular in shape. the
walls consist OF blocks six inches in thick
ness and eight inches in height, furre--
on the outside with tiles two inches in
thickness and twelve inches in height (thc
Turing tiles overlapping the smaller blocks).
making a wall eight inches in thickness.
the whole being reinforced by pairs of
steel tension bands running through the
walls at frequent intervals.
The steel tension bands are imbedded in
a cement grouting and the outside Turing
il applied with a cement mortar. The
foundation walls and base are built Of con-
crete.
One OF these new elevators has a CAPACITY
Of l,OOO,O00. bushels and consists of twenty
four tanks. tyenty-four feet in diameter
Gnside) and 100 feet in height, with a steel
operating house at one end, forty-two by
seventy feet. containing all the machinery
for filing n emptying the tanks. There

electricity from an adjacent public gener-
ating station.

NO NIGHT WORK FOR CHILDREN.
Their Toll Must Cease AZ ! p. NJ. Under
the Law Now In Force.

There has been a marked decrease in the
number OF complaints OF violations OF the
child labor law since the amendment passcl
at the last session Of the Legislature, pro-
hibiting boys and girls under 16 from work-
ing after p. NJ, ven into effect OF October
1. Before that date children were allowed
to work until 0 p. NJ. in factories and as
late as 10 in stores and other mercantile
establishments.
This amendment covers every form of
employment for children. including apart
ment houses, telegraph offices, hotels and
restaurants. The enforcement Of the law
in factories ia in charge of the State De-
psrtment OF Labor. while the Board Of
Health has charge Of all other divisions.
DR.. Walter Bensel, the assistant sanitary
superintendent Of the department, says
that since the amendment went into effect
there have been but few complaints. and
when notified the owners Of stores and other
mercantile establishments have been quick
to comply.
Thomas A. Keith, the Deputy Labor Com
missioner here, says that in August OF this
year there we're 500 complaints received
about child labor, whereas in October.
when the new Law was in effect, there were
but 1903. The amendment, however. has
but little effect on the la W as far as his de-
partment is concerned, for the simple reason
that the Labor Department looks out only for
factories, which as n whole do not run after
Q o'clock in the evening.
The real test Of the value OF the amend
ment will come with the holiday trade, when
many stores who employ children will be
forced by the rush Of trade 10 keep open
late. With this class of people the Health
Board has had little or no trouble recently,
n none IL looked for this year.
Inspectors Of the Labor Department have
been extremely vigilant recently in all
matters pertaining to child labor and a num-
Der OF important arrests have been made
for violations OF the law. One of the men
arrested was Leon Lavine, the foreman in a
big establishment in Brooklyn He was
tried in Special Sessions in that borough for
having children under II working under
him, also children under 10 who had no
certificates. He was convicted and sem
fenced to DAY a fine Of $500 or go to Jail for
thirty days. As his employer would not
nav the fine he went to jail.
Another case was that Of Samuel Dicker-
man, who was hauled up for having EN-
ployed three children under 18 who had no
certificates, and two others more than nine
hours a day. He was fined s2O on zach
count, making his total fine 500.
As an idea OF the activity of the Labor De-
partment in enforcing the child labor law il
NAV be mentioned that since October I of
this year the am our of fines collected il
81, O7O, while the total mount for the whole
of last year was onlv 81 .0S5.

Office has to do is to secure a certain number
OF signatures to a nomination paper, and he
takes bis place in the list as though he had
won the favor of a party caucus.
II a man feels that his duty impels him
toward the council he must obtain the
signatures OF thirty men qualified TO vote,
under the State law, on financial ques-
tons. Rhode Island being one OF the few
States which cling to a property qualifca-
ton provision. A candidate for the board
Of aldermen or school committee must
get n hundred signatures OF the same
class, n for Mayor. $50.
As matters stand this year, when the
entire council OF 1876 is to be elected, this
means that the nomination Of only 50
many candidates as shall fill the Offices
will require 1000 Signatures, while IL the
usual ratio OF candidates to Offices is pre-
served 1900 names will have been signed
before he lists are full. Hereafter the
number will be considerably reduced,
since only a third Of the council will be
chosen a year.
Every vote of the council involving the
expenditure Of more than $4,000 remains
imperative for seven days. II within that
time a petition Of ten qualified voters from
each ward, in addition to 100 at large, is
presented asking that the matter be sub
United to the entire electorate for approval
or rejection it shall be submitted within
thirty days. Lacking such a petition, the
vote becomes operative at the expiration Of
the week.
At any time a proposition for the passage
OF an ordinance or for the expenditure OF
more than $4,000 for a specific purpose
may be brought before the council by 100
voters. If the council favors the PROPOSE
ton 1t may take final action.
II, however, it d~isapproves its vote be-
comes imperative for seven days to give
opportunity for a referendum. In such a
case an appeal must be signed by 300 voters
at large and twenty from each ward adj
ditional, in which case the referendum vote
is taken.
These are among the leading provisions
OF the charter. Its promoters believe that
it holds promise of good. Meanwhile can
didates are getting busy in their quest for
signatures.

SMOKE, FIRE DOG.
The Mascot OF En- cine n Bosses the Horses.
bu Not the COmpanys Cat.

The mascot Of Engine Company %, in
East Eghty-ffth street. is a spotted dog
named Smoke.
Smoke Is the pride of the firehouse and
q favorite among the children who live in
the neighborhood. When the engine leaves
the house to answer an alarm Smoke runs
ahead " the galloping horses and warns
pedestrians and drivers TO clear the road
by barking. When the horses show a ten
dency to slacken their speed Smoke jumps
up and snaps at their noses.
Sometimes Smoke does not go out with
the engine but stays behind 10 watch the
~firehouse. He stands outside the door like
a sentinel, with his ears cooked 10 catch
the sound of the returning engine.
There is only one creature that disputes
Smokes authority in the h~rehouse. and
that Ia a large brown cat. Whenever Smoke
sticks his nose into Tabby's affairs a blow
on the nose from her paw brings him back
20 his senses n forces him TO beat a hasty
retreat. II Smoke finds an old bone to
gnaw he has TO hide u OF the cat will steal
it and then back up her possession Of it
with her claws.

An Armlcss Postmaster.

Auckland, n. H., Aug. New
Zealand can boast of a postmaster
who, for all practical purposes, is
armless. Owing to a physical de-
formity which renders his hands
useless he is obliged to, and actually
does, all the clerical work of his Of
flee with his feet.
His name is Mr.. Ernest c. Moon,
and he is in charge of the postoffice
at To Uku, Auckland. He uses an
indelible pencil in his official work,
with which he writes clearly and
legibly. He is 81 years of age, and
has been in charge of the postoffice
at TIE Uku for the past eleven years.
The official reports of the inspectors
of the New Zealand postal depart
ment shows that Mr.. Moon has given
every satisfaction in the discharge
of his duties. He makes out money
orders, postal notes, and the periodi-
cal official statements by using his
feet. In the same way he applies
the date stamp to letters with won
derful rapidity. Mr.. Moon can also
use hammer, saw and other carpen-
ters' tools with his feet.

Rochester, n. Y, Aug. 3.-The
national convention of Retail Jewel
ers opened her today with large at
tendance, representing every state In
the Union. Many important matters
will be discussed by the convention
among them the obnoxious practice
of some jewellers to place on the
market goods which are of an in
ferior grade and are falsely marked
as goods of a superior grade. This
practice is considered inimical to the
interests OF the trade and an ehort
will be made to put a stop to it,
