Where ShinS Were Made.

The name of Bath Maine, is as in
separately associated with the history
of the merchant marine of the United
States, and particularly with the Amer
lean ship-bulding industry, as that of
Pittsburg is with the iron and steel in
dustry in this country, or that of Glas-
Cow with marine construction in the
united kingdom, says the National
Magazine. AS n port of entry, Bath,
which once occupied a prominent posi-
ton and did a flOurishing trade with
the West Indies and Europe, has sunk
into comparative insignifcance. on ac-
count of the location of its magnificent
harbor so far from the great pathways
of present-day American commerce; but
as a ship-building center, it has retain
ed the prestige won when it's ships were
on every sea and in every port in the
world, in that much regretted ante bel
lum epoch, when the American flag was
as familiar wherever the commerce
carriers of the sea penetrated as the
red ensign Of the mistress of the seas.
Neither the increasing distance Of the
Bath shipyards from the materials
which they consume, nor the partial
change from wood to steel in hull COZ

staid community of it's still unchal-
lenged scbriquet. the City of Ships.

COFFEE IMPORTERS
Publish a Book About Coffee

Publish n BOOK ADOHt cohcc'
There has been much discussion as
to Coffee and Postum Lately. so much
in fact that some of the coffee import
ers and roasters have taken to type to
promote the sale of their wares aE6
check if possible the rapid growth of
the use of Postum Food Coffee.
In the coffee importers book chap
ter is headed Coffee as a Medicine"
and advocates its use as such.
Here is an admission Of The truth,
most important to. all interested
Every physician knows, and every
thoughtful person should know, that
habitual use of any "medic;ue" of the
drug stimulant type of coffee or whisky
quickly causes irritation of the tissues
and organs stimulated and finally sets
up disease in the great majority OF
cases If persisted in. 1t may show in
any one of the many organs of the body
and in the great majority OF cases can
be directly traced to coffee in a most
unmistakable way by leaving off the
active irritant-coffee-a using Pos
tum Food Coffee for matter of 10
days. If the result is relief from nerv-
Gus trouble dyspepsia, bowel complaint,
heart failure, weak eyes, or any other
malady set up by a poisoned nervous
system, you have your answer with the
accuracy Of demonstration in mathe-
mates.

POSlmen Collect Debts

A debt-collecting agency which is run
as a part of the regular public postal
system is the newest Improvement"
of the postoffice of Austria.
Despite tie novelty of the enterprise.
the plan has worked admirably, so that
thousands of dollars are collected annu-
ally by the postmen throughout the
Austrian empire.
The system is very simple Suppose
a tradesman in Vienna has an account
due from a customer in, say, such a
distant town as Budapest, which he
wishes to collect. Distance does not
matter in the least.
He merely sends the bill to the post
Office in the capital, whence it is at
once transmitted to the postoffice at
Budapest. There the postman presents
it to the Vienna pOstoffice whence it is
delivered to the tradesman by post
man.
In the event of payment being re-
fused, which, of course, sometimes hap
pens, the creditor is promptly appraised
of the fact and valuable time is thus
frequently saved.

New lunrtZ Process

Dr. Arthur L. Day of the Carnegie
geophysical laboratory at Washington,
according to an article in the Technical
World Magazine, has discovered new
process of making quartz glass while
working with his electric furnace. Here
tofore quartz glass, which is simply
quartz melted and allowed TO cool with
out recrystallizing, has been obtainable in
such small quantities that it was worth
its weight in gold, the globules being used
to make small vessels and lenses Now,
by the employment of high temperatures
and pressures DR.. Day has turned out
solid plates of quartz glass l inch thick
and 6x2 inches. The pressure used is 800
pounds to the square inch and an alter
mating current producing heat of 1000
degrees. In a quartz glass vessel gold,
copper or silver may be melted or dis
,,lled and it will not break even when
cold water touches it at white heat.
