VAST PRODUCTIVITY OF CHINA

One Fact That Has Greatly Impressed
Sir Ian Hamilton.
One of the impressions which Sir
Ian Hamilton of the British army OBJ
tanned while accompanying the Japa-
nese army in Manchuria and which he
describes in his "Scrap Book of a
Staff Officer is the tremendous pro-
ductive power of the Chinese. He
says that he never saw anywhere in
the world men work more Industrious
ly and in some respects more intelli-
gently, and this upon basis of COM
pensation infinitesimally small when
compared with that demanded in the
western world. He entirely supports
the contention of the labor leaders Of
the United States that Chinese labor
must be excluded, because he afhrms
that if it were permitted to enter into
competition with the ordinary labor of
America it could not fail to acquire an
ascendency over it, not on account of
degraded habits and methods of 1iv-
ing, but simply because the Chinese
put their shoulder to the wheel of
work with a determination and per
sistency which workmen elsewhere do

This Marvellous New Plan for Driving
Great Steamships across the Ocean is
like a Series Of Pinwheels on Shaft
with Blades to Direct the Current =

The easiest way to make these

one-half inch in diameter and in
length to fit the 4nside Of each of
your half cy1indersy before bending
these, cut them info teeth, shaped
like the teeth of saw; with a pair

ing careful that they point in the

the other to prevent the shaft from
slipping back and forth and the teeth
from catching, but if the tin has
been carefully cut the square part Of
the shaft should just touch the inside
OF the cylinder head and tail-piece and
thus hold it rigid. .
Buy five cents worth of one-eighth
inch brass or copper tubing, attach it
to the two holes in the cylinder head
and connect it with your boiler, which
you had better buy at some shop
where they sell mechanical toys,
though you can make it yourself with
out difficulty, or havesa tinsmith make
it for you.
The steam will enter at the two
holes, one on either side, and strike
the first circle of stationary blades
which you have been careful to bend
to an angle which will turn it to strike
the first Of the circle of blades upon
the shaft; these in turning defect it.,
but the second circle of stationary
blades will again turn it to strike the
second circle Of blades upon the shaft
at the right angle and so on, until
the steam has done it's work upon
each of the five ''pinwheels'' and it
flies out at the two exhaust holes.

STEEL SQUARES FROM SAWS

The first steel square was made by
Silas Halves at South Salisbury, VT,
ninety-five years ago, and the indus
try is still carried on at the same
place.
Halves was a blacksmith and wheel
wright and was called upon to do
some repairing to the cart of a ped
der. These fellows were always re-
luctant to let any hard coin get away
from them and whenever possible
they paid their bills by making some
sort Of trade.
On this particular occasion the ped
der had in his cart number of saws
which had been discarded as worn
past redemption and Halves, conceiv-
ing the idea that he could make use
of them, took several Of them in lieu
OF payment for the work he had
done. He cut these lengths of metal
Up into suitable sizes and made

A boy who has been through

able to make a turbine Of brass,

that of tin, but he should file out his

Brickett one evening strolled into

curiosity as anything, and, to his great
surprise, saw Wilson there on his
knees, in the midst Of very fervent
prayer which greatly moved the
hearts of all his hearers.
After meeting was over Brickett and
Wilson went directly to their room.
Wilson's sudden conversion was so
surprising that Brickett, out of deli
cacy, refrained from mentioning the
matter to his friend, and the subject
was not mentioned by either until,
just before getting ready to jump into
bed. Wilson, with all the solemnity of
an elder, turned to his friend with the
question: ''Brickett, didn': l make a

bringing the saws to Mr.. Halves.
At first the blacksmith made the
tools only at odd times when he had
nothing else on hand, but the demand
became so great that he had to make
special arrangements for their manu-.
facture, and the industry grew into
one of rather imposing proportions.
Mr.. Halves had been engaged in
the manufacture of the squares for
several years before it occurred to
him to take out a patent on the new
implement. He did this ultimately
and began the manufacture of them
in earnest, erecting factory for this
purpose.
