Machines Merely to Make Machines

The machine that makes the ma
chine perhaps is the most important
feature of the new industrialism
Aside from rolling mill machinery,
cranes, hoists, etc, and aside from
tools for use by hand, the United
States census shows for the year of
1905 product of metal working ma
chinery of total value of more than
$32,OO0.000. This was an increase in
Illinois over 1900 of 81 per cent. The
increase in Illinois, mostly in Chicago
and Rockford, was 77s per cent
The most marked increase shown
for any class of metal working ma
chinery, the manufacture of which
was of little importance In 1900, but
was of such importance in 1905, as to
be entitled to fifth rank in the in
dustry. The number of machines in
this class increased from 6,751 man
ufactured in 1900 to 1927 made in
1905. The increase in value was
more than elevenfold, from $143.325
to s1,732 ,107.
Pneumatic Machines Revolutionary.
The value of the pneumatic machine
is apparent to every man who walks
the street beside a new building in
course of construction and hears
the rattle of the hammers
and riveters driven by com
pressed air and beating an unceasing
tattoo upon the iron beams and grid
ers. 1t is said that pneumatic drills
and riveters is all that makes modern
steel constructions possible. The
bolts must be driven home and tapped
while they are yet hot and In the
heavy materials used now In bridges
and skyscrapers 1t would be impos-
sible to do this work by hand.
In another machine of the auto
matte class which still is in process
OF development compressed air Is
used for the various parts of the ma
chine in order to present the tools
consecutively to the work and for
the motions necessary for the cutting
operations. The extreme lightness
Of air as compared with the mechan.
isms ordinarily employed for this pur-
pose enables the idle motions" to be
made much more quickly than other
wise possible. Thus the time con
sumed in the withdrawal of one tool
and the presentation of another is re-
duced greatly.

A TWICE TOLD TALE
With Variations, Concerning
Growth Of Dry Towns, as
Viewed by J. L. Rankin.

On May End, 1906, the state encamp-
ment of the Patriotic Sons of Amer
lea convened in Gainesville. Mayor
Thomas delivered the address of well
come on behalf of the city.
The Times Union of May 3 says:
A response to this address was de-
livered by State President j. l.. Ran
kin of Palatka. His remarks were
full of interest and he took occasion
during his talk to compliment
Gainesville on its rapid stride of ad-
vancement. He said: | have known
Gainesville a long time. have
known Gainesville when it was little
better than a country town, but you
have people with sand in their back
bones, and 1 am glad that l have
lived and had the pleasure to see
your city grow as no other city in
Florida has grown within the past
two or three years. We of Palatka
love to see you grow and delight with
you in the progress of your city"
The secretary of the county tenn
perance committee would remind the
readers of the News that the two or
three years referred to above were
dry years and for the greater part be-
fore the location of the University in
Gainesville. And we are pleased to
copy this statement of our fellow
townsman from the Times. Union as
to the growth of dry town.
An acceptance of the invitation,
Come and see,' would dispell the
delusion that town can't prosper
without the saloon. Hear this testi-
mony of Mr.. Rankin.

The Back Yard.

Paris is city noted everywhere for
beauty. not merely Of architecture. but
of nature. and the art which good
taste is able to evolve from nature.
Particularly is 1t known for the beau.
ty of IT'S trees and flowers and parks.
The chief gardener Of the city Of Paris
has been spending a two months vaca-
ton in the United States, studying
American methods in developing city
parks and gardens. He found much
to praise. but had nothing but con-
domination for the American city back
yard In New York. particularly, he
found the back yards incredibly ugly
and neglected-no grass, no trees no
vines, no flowers. The criticism would
hold good Of almost any American
city, but the matter is one which
young landscape architects are be-
ginning seriously to consider. One
such in Boston. says the Youths
Companion. is making a special study
OF the problem of converting few
square yards Of brick pavement into a
little secluded bower of greenery,
where the family can have a restful
hour or pleasant meal. in surround
ings far more attractive than the aver
age roof-garden affords. Manufacture
ers interested in this young mans
work have produced special pieces of
garden furniture. of cement and terra
Gotta. A New Yorker has recently
told, in print, of the curiosity he felt
at the wording OF an advertisement of
some apartments to rent. One OF the
attractions mentioned was the outlook
on real trees and back yards which
were gardens. Later conversation
with the agent disclosed the fact that
the modest attempt at beauty which
the windows commanded was a real
asset. 1t raised the rentable value Of
the property.
