Uncle Sam Worth 1875 Billions.
Many people imagine that the United
States is at the maximum of its prosperity.
The truth is we are at the beginning. We
shall make more during the next generation
out of what now goes to waste, than we
made a generation ago out Of our staple
crops. Indeed the waste of today makes
the fortunes of tomorrow. In 1870 our
national wealth amounted to about thirty
billion dollars, and thirty years later it had
almost reached the hundred-billon mark
We are probably worth twenty-five billions
more today and the great part of the in
crease comes from by-products once classed
as waste. Take the beef trust. Its big
dividends come from the saving of every
scrap in the refuse. If the choice cuts of
the meat alone were sold, the packing
houses could not exist. They have scores
Of products which our forefathers never
thought of from potted meats to bulllons
liquid extracts and drugs.
Indeed, the by-products of these estab-
lishments bring in millions and small
army of scientists are kept busy analysing
the waste and making new things for man.
1t is said that every bit of the hog is now
saved, excepting the squeal and the kick,
ana tudL not an dtOHl OI the DCeI goes TO
waste. A few years ago I visited a pack
ing factory in Buenos Ayres and saw the
blood running away in a stream. In our
factories in Chicago the blood is worth $40
ton and is used to make alhumen and
other things. 1t is sold to printers tan
ners and sugar refiners, and, as fertilizer
1t brings a big price per ton. In some
of the Australia and New Zealand factories
l saw the bones thrown aside. At Chicago
the bones are first cooked to extract the
fat and gelatine. Certain kinds are saved
to make umbrella, tooth brush and knife
handles, and other things in which hard
bone Is needed. The hoofs Of the cattle are
nodded into ornaments, and the tips of the
horns are fiattened out and eventually sold
as combs and buttons. The backs of
brushes are made Of horn tips and some
Of the finest hoofs are shipped to Japan to
be made into notions which are again sold
in the United States.
Drugs From the Slaughter Houses.
The packing houses are now getting big
money out of chemicals and drugs of vari-
Gus kinds. They produce pepsin from the
stomachs of pigs, and pancreatfne and
they get gray brain matter which is now
used for nervous diseases. and is especially
valuable in neurasthenia, insanity and st.
Vitus' dance.
One of the most important of the chemi-
cal by-produets of the slaughter houses is
employed in gold mining It's poison.

eating certain sources of paper supply
which will furnish the world all it needs
for the future. One of the most important
OF these Investigations relates to paper
by-product Of the corn crop. Indian corn
stalks have fiber which will make every
kind Of paper and cardboard. and l am told
that it will be but short time before mills
will be grinding them for this purpose. 1
have seen samples of paper and cards made
from Indian corn stalks. The best paper
comes from the outside fibers, and a lower
grade from those within. The pith itself
is already used to make iro!eum, and also
as packing for the walls of our gunboats.
The pith is spongy and 1t Swells quickly
upon. touching water If a shell breaks
through the armor plate of a vessel so
packed the water rushes in, and the pack
ing is soon enough swollen to fill up the
hole.
great deal of paper is now made from
halfa grass. found in Morocco and Algeria,
and it is probable that the papyrus swamps
of the Upper Nile will some day be far-
vested for this purpose. Between Uganda
and Kha rtoum there vast tracts of
swamps, covered with papyrus They lie
right along the line of the Cape to Cairo
road, and 1t may be that this will make
them valuable Papyrus was used to make
the paper of the ancient Egyptians The
many scrolls of the famed AleXandrian IL
brary were written papyrus, and the
fiber will, it is said. make some of the best
paper known to man.
Where the Buttons Come From.
One of the great questions of mankind
since We began to wear more than fig
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-products. 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,
and 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
of the pearl oyster than out of the pearls
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 1t is said that at least
100000 pounds of them are consumed in
our own factories In a single year.
Grease and Garbage.
Within late years business has grown
up In saving the grease of our great cities
The garbage is full of oleaginous stuff, and
1t is SO treated that<th is saved. In New
York city the waste food is run through
cookers which take out the grease. and this
grease is shipped of to Europe, where IL Is
made into elycerine. lard oil and other
products. -s5-s
There is another kind of grease which was

Why the French Are Rich.

1t is similar economies which largely aid
in making the French one of the richest
nations of the world. Every one thought
they would become bankrupt when, in
ISL, the Germans compelled them to paw a
Dillon dollars In the way of indemnify
Since then they have wasted millions on the
Panama canal, and are today about the
wealthiest of all European nations. 1t is
said that the French loaned about S150Uoo-
GOO to our capitalists during the wear 1905
as we'll as syst. ,oo0 to Germany, and an
even greater sum to Russia. They now
hold foreign securities to the amount of
$l4,oO0,oO0,0o0. and more than one-fourth of
thfS is in Russian bonds and industrias.
France is said to have an annual surplus Of
Sooo,0ooUc0, and she is gradually placing
this In various investments throughout the
world. If she has no war, she will soon
nave an interest In every national enter
prise and be the worlds chief creditor.
All this comes from saving the pennies
and watching the waste. The average
breakfast of the Frenchman costs about
2 cents. while that of the American is at
least 10 cents. five times as much
France has 100000 people, and at this
rate she daily spends $500 900 fo- breakfast
whereas at 10 cents our breakfasts cost us
$S,G00,GOO. Had We the same population as
France our morning meal would cost us
$c00,G00 more every day than 1t does her,
or more than $1,000, 100000 every year. A
similar saving goes. on to other things
and the common people are. always saving

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 statiorfs. In ST. Etienne thew are
now making briqEettes which are half coal
dust and half petroleum, and also some
which contain % per cent of petroleum
Petroleum bricks sell for about $15 per ton
but they have three times as much heating
power as coal. and they weigh only one-third
as much. They burn without odor or smoke

former which will probably attract the
greater attention. 1t has been said that
Lawrence derived his celebrity largely on
account of having painted mobility to look
more noble and grace to look more gra-
cious, and it may be true, but surely he
had in large measure the artists instinct
and demonstrated at all times a wonderful
feeling for effect. Perhaps this portrait
or Lady Aberdeen is more of a decoration
than character study; possibly the paint
er has been guilty of making a picture,
but even SO, one cannot complain for as
such today 1t is most valuable. And, more
over, the treatment is charming The youth
full figure of the lady is thrown into re-
lief by an amazing sky of deep blue, heav-
lily clouded. She wears a sirnp.e white
gown, but 4 blue sash repeats the back

II Is tremendous canvas, and great care
has been expended upon it's execution.
Snyders lived in Antwerp about 800 years
ago. first Won distinction through his fruit
and stiii-life painting. but later gave him
seif almost entirely to picturing the hunt
and game. Rubens and he quite frequently
collaborated; the Arch Duke Albert was
one of his patrons. and in the palace of

to that in sheep wool. Now the wool is sold
without washing, and the grease and dirt In

COO pounds of carbonate OF potash are now
annually taken from the wash waters OF the
wool securing establishments of France and
Belgium. England is saving its wool fat.
and there have been number of patents
granted for this purpose in the United
States. Indeed, il is said that If we had the
proper plants in our western wool districts,
millions of dollars worth of this stuff could
be saved and that the wool shipped would
realize as much as II does now and also re-
suit in the saving of vast amount in
freight charges.
Speaking OF wool. that which is manu-
featured into cloth is used Over and over
again. Wooden rags are saved. respun and
rewoven shoddy. Sometimes wool is
mixed with the shoddy and the product is
sold as WOODEN goods. In 1909 as much as
1000. 600 pounds of such stuff was used i'm
Great Britain. Nearly all the shoddy We
manufacture comes from American rags.
while Great Britain gets its rags from all
parts OF the world.
Cotton rags are used largely in the manu-
facture of paper, while the waste of the
cotton mills, which is too shor; for spin
ming, is employed for cotton batting and
wadding. We make about 10000 900 pounds
of such stuff every year.
Some Chinese Economies.
There is probably less waste in China
than in any other country. There are no
big factories. but nevertheless everything
finds use. Cloth of all kinds is carefully
saved. Old clothing is sold to secondhand
dealers, and it goes from one class to an
other until 1t becomes rags. Even then the
rags are washed and ironel and then
pasted one upon another to make the soes
for Chinese shoes.
All kinds OF metals are saved. There is a
regular business in China in old tin and old
iron. The Standard Oil cans for instance
are fattened out and used for house roof
ing, and the best of the Chinese razors are
made of worn-out horseshoes. which are
imported by the shipload from Europe.
AS to food in China, nothing goes to

eaten, even to the entralls. Tea grounds
scrap of meat is consumed. AS to fuel the
fallen twigs and branches are gathered
up, and straw is often burned for cooking
The Chinese understand how to get the
most out of manure, and nothing of this
sort is thrown away. The house sweepings
are saved for the gardens, and even the
beds of the streams are scooped up from
time to time into scows and spread over
