We should store the floods and regu-
late the flow of streams throughout
the land. We should adopt policies
which will everywhere facilitate the
subdivision of the soil into
small holdings, and the growth of in.
dependent homes upon these holdings.
Even in those sections which are most
densely peopled, and, perhaps, least
favored in natural advantages-New
England, for example-there is much
to be done in improving natural coz
ditions and opening new opportunities
for successful rural settlement.
But it is not enough to make the
land ready for its highest uses; the
people must also be made ready to
utilize the land. Every boy and girl
should leave the public schools pre-
pared to make living, and to collect
it from mother earth herself, when
they desire to do so. This is distinctly
in line with our great need of increas-
ing economic efficiency, and thus en-
abling the country to meet the de-
mands of increasing population. The
South is beautiful and promising as
it is, but how much more beautiful
and promising it would become with
the adoption of public policies which
would make the utmost of its natural
advantages and which would train the
rising generation so that they could
realize the best results from the oppor-
tunities thus opened to them!

Many ingenious Tools.

The tools which are instrumental in
performing this ingenious sculpture
by machinery are what are known as
pneumatic tools, that is, they are op-
Grated by compressed air instead OF
by steam or electricity. The type most
commonly used might be described as
a combination hammer and chisel, and
how much more speedily such can
work than could a workman with the
old-fashioned chisel and hammer may
be appreciated when it is stated that
by means of the compressed air the
hammer is made to strike hundreds
of blows per minute.
In this mechanical chiseling the
pneumatic tool, which is portable
piece of apparatus, is held in the hand
of a workman and by him guided
back and forth on the stone surface
wherever cutting is to be done. The
compressed air is led to the tool
through a rubber hose, and the oper-
ator can with the utmost ease and
at a moments notice regulate the
force of the hammer blows according
to the depth of the cutting required.
Moreover different styles of pneu-
matte tools are provided for the va
rious classes of work to be performed
in producing a statue or other monu-
ment. For instance, there is one tool
for light carving, tracing and letter
ing on granite, and different one for
heavy carving and large raised letters.
The tools require from five to seven
cubic feet of free air per minute to
operate them. In the battlefield memo

Why We are Right Handed.

Why do we use the right hand in
preference to the left?
An anatomist, who has studied the
question very closely, says that it is
largely matter of heredity. The
early races of men must have used the
right hand in fighting, reserving the
left to cover the left side of the body,
where wounds-as their experience
showed them-were the more danger
Gus. This more frequent use of the
right hand would react upon the brain,
bringing about special development

of future generations who cannot have
the aid of any veteran of the great
conflict to guide them to the points
of interest.
The tablets, statues, monuments and
other memorials which are finding
place in rapidly increasing numbers
upon these historic battlefieldS have
been erected in some instances by the
Congress of the United States, but in
a majority of cases the expense has
been betrayed by States or by veteran
or patriotic organizations. Some of the
memorials are mute testimonials to
the bravery of fallen comrades, while
others are tributes to the command
ers conspicuous in this engagement
or that. However, the matter does not
stop here and of late many commend
ratiye masterpieces of sculpture have
been installed to mark in each in
stance the exact spot rendered menor-
able by some notable assault or de-
tense or some other unusual event in
TIE great drama of the War for the
Union.
The production of great numbers of
these battlefield memorials has re
suited in another Yankee scheme for
saving time and labor, namely, the in
PRODUCTION of sculpture by machinery.
Formerly all the statues carved from
marble or granite had to be slowly
and 1aboriously chiseled by hand. I'm
der the new order of things all this
is changed and mechanically operated
tools cut away the hard material and
carve, in the stone, representations OF
human figures, lettering, etc, in frac-
ton of the time that would be required
for the same work under the old
methods.

But the Southern truck-gardener

In the matter of transportation, the
new settler in the South is fortunate.
Compared with newer sections OF the
country, the South is gridironed with
railroads. Not only so, but it enjoys
important natural advantages in the
way of navigation, both interior and
exterior. 1t is manifestly good rail-
road policy to facilitate the settlement
Of tributary railroad territory by max
