up a small manufacturing establishment. The last two started up a few years ago, while the first was started after the men behind it had witnessed the success which had greeted others here.
 A concern which is truly credit to Greater Birmingham is the Southern Sew CT Pipe company. whose plant is located at North Birmingham The business of the concern Is growing to great propor- tions as a matter of fact. it has been exceptionally large for the past several years. About 25o men are employed there. Figuring that each man is supporting a family of four persons, 1t will be seen that 1000 persons are residents of Bir- mingham as the result of the operations of this plant
 This company manufacturers superior vitrified sewer pipe, double strength, ex- tra thick culvert pipe. vitrified well cop ing, farm drain tile, fue lining and thim bles and a number of other articles of this nature. Their shipments extend all the way from Arizona to Cuba and the far northwestern and to the New England states. The plant is a credit to Bir- mingham and shows that the manufac- ture of almost everything will find suc- cess here.
 Birmingham is fertile The climate and mineral conditions here added to the fact that despite its mountainous loca- tion 1t is located In the heart of B splendid agricultural section. offers an inducement for manufacturing plants which cannot be excelled anywhere. To those who have had the business sagac- ity and nerve to enter the manufacturing line success, almost without exception, has greeted them.
 That everything under the sun can be manufactured in Birmingham is shown by the fact that flying machines are actually being made here. In an old stable. located within the present limits of Birmingham, an aeroplane is rapidly approaching completion. To any one who has kept in touch with recent flying machine experiments, the machine being made here looks exceptionally good. While its general principles are along the lines of other machines, there are number of things about 1t which are great im- provements above other machines. In addition to this, it will be nearly 300 pounds lighter than the lightest of other machines J. c. Odom is the man build ing this machine
 Ask for Made in Birmingham" goods Is request which denotes patriotism. It takes public spirit to build a town. and this is one particular thing which can never reach the stage where it is described as "too much" Birmingham has a whole lot of 1t, but it needs a whole lot more. With all of its facilities 1t is hard to see how man can keep from bragging of 1t with every breath while away from home. It is recorded
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-09-05

An illustration of Birmingham's great ness as an industrial center has been shown in the recent starting of several rev small manufacturing establishments. has commenced operations within the last few weeks and has found sufficient busi- ness from the jump to keep them busy for some time.
 This plant is located on Fourth avenue between Seventeenth and Eighteenth street. About 40 persons are employed at this place and it appears to be one Of the busiest places in town. Over s10,O 900 has been invested by the Marx people and the wisdom of their investment has already been shown by the orders which they have received. Quite a number of carload orders have been received by them, while the local business is excep- tionally heavy and even more than was expected.
 The fact that Birmingham industries cannot be kept down has been shown in the recent fire which destroyed the plant of the Southern Paint Manufacturing company on First avenue. New offices were opened by this concern on the next day and orders sent to different plants for a duplication of the plant which was burned down. This machinery Is being rushed and already a large force of men is at work preparing the plant for its old air of business. Within the next few days everything will be In spick and span order with the plant running full force Despite the fire they have continued to fill orders with rapidity. This concern has always transacted a large business and the amount of money invested in it amounts to a large sum.
 Birmingham's great variety of indus tries is shown in a casual glance down the list of them. One which is different from the two above mentioned, but which is meeting with unusual success, Is the A. V. Welch Vinegar company, which has a long list of customers all over the south. This concern has an unusually fine plant and the quality of Its product has won a good business for it. It's estab- lishment is at 1905-7 Avenue A and trip through 1t is exceptionally interesting It is equipped with immense storage tanks, which nsures prompt delivery of any size order by them This concern has been in business here for a number of years and each year has found steadily increasing business.
 Each of the above concerns is an exem- plihcation of the reward waiting in Bir- mingham for the man who desires to open

HOT SHIRTS AND COLD BEANS.
What Happened in Family of Nr. Fus-
 sy Dresser When Fire Came.

From the New York Sun.
 MT. Pussy Dresser made it a point of pride that he never had less than hundred shirts in his wardrobe, and every one of them with his monogram embroidered on the sleeve. Mrs. Dresser would no more have dared to disarrange those drawers full of shirts than Blue beards hundredth wife would have dared to unlock the secret door.
 Mrs Dresser was being driven up from the station in the dogcart one afternoon. when, upon rounding turn in the hedge, she saw that her home was afire. From a window in the second story came a rain of shirts, and the figure of her husband violently propelling them over the window sill was almost frantic.
 Mrs Dresser lost her best patience al- most as quickly as she found her senses.
 Pussy she screamed, stop throwing those foolish shirts out of the window and come down and help the man get out the piano and the silverware!
 When it was all over and the fire, quickly uuenched, had left only a bad smell and some charred kitchen furnish ings, a neighbours maid came over to Mrs Dresser carrying a dish of cold lima beans.
 Why. what in the world"-- began Mrs. Dresser.
 Please, mum. you carried this dish over and left 1t on top of the mfssus' new piano during the fire," said the maid, humbly.

A Bold Reporter.
From an Exchange.

From an Exchange.
 When Jahn w. Gates a few years ago had the Chicago pit excited by his plung- ing corn, reporters camped in vain on his his trial for 8 week. A green reporter on 2 Chicago daily volunteered to '.get him" The city editor laughed and told him to go ahead. The blissful opumist did not wait to deliver his card to the negro at the door. Instead he walked straight into Mr. Gates office. What's tho meaning of this?" asked Gates. rising angrily.
 I'm a reporter and want an inter view" said the intruded.
 'If you don't get out of here I'll havc you thrown out," thundered John Watch Me.
 Well, you'n have to can your army in. for I'm not going to move." retorted the reporter.
 Gates went around tho end of his desk and approached threateningiy. "I'u throw you out myself" he shouted.
 ''Now, MT. Gates, take 1t easy" said the reporter soothingly. You don't want scene here, do your"
 fellow in wonderment, then gave vent to his below of a laugh. "If I had your nerve. young man, I'd be boss of creation before twelyemonth." he said. ''Sit down." Gates gave tho interview, and the following day he hired the reporter at $50 a week.

book. The midrib is the hinge of the trap. Three spines are set aslant near the middle of each half, and these are hinged to the green pad so as to change their angle when the trap goes shut.
 Touch the face of the open trap or one of the six spines with pencil tip or drop a grain of sand on it and the trap closes out but 1t opens almost at once as If 1t realized the mistake. Let a fly brush the stiff spines and the trap shuts, impaling the insect on them and fencing 1t in by the overlapping of the spnes on the rims.
 The fly has room at first to struggle but as the acd digestive fluids are poured out upon the victim the walls of the trap draw in and the nutritious sub stances of the body become dtgested and then absorbed into the walls of the trap and thence into the whole plant. Now the trap opens and the remnants of the victims body are discarded It usually takes a week or two for a leaf to dis pose of an insect.
 These plants grow in boggy ground from Virginia southward. Specimens grown in greenhouses arc usually dam- aged by being "overworked''-bai with bits of meat which prove too strong food for the plant

PLANTS FEEL AND MOVE.
They Are Sensitive to Light and Heat
 and Relax In Sleep.

From Country Life in America
 There is no doubt in the minds of bot anists now as to the truth of the theory that plants are sensitive to light and heat and other external stimuli and that their responses to these sense impress lsions'' are comparable to the muscular lcontractons seen in the lower animal forms.
 The old-fashioned sensitive plant that lwits at touch was the wonder of our childhood We may never have noticed the droop that comes over the locust's foliage as night comes on, but this trait, noticeable in the pod-bearers, is by no means confined to them.
 { The familiar red and white clover are 1.-two plants that show their leaves sensi- tive to the light. People who have seen ,the golden California peoples covering fields with a continuous sheet of flame yellow in the middle of the day must have noticed how the color diminished with the failing light. A closer look shows the flowers drawn up like buds Unto pointed cone form by the overlap ping of the petals. It is the attitude of sleep. The leaves also are relaxed, their Ifaces turned down. The day posture Is active, the night posture passive.
 The starry English daisy is one of many flower species which close In damp weather and when night comes on.
 Heliotrope is an old fayorite in gar ,dens. It's name has an interesting ori- gin Find it in the dictionary. and see Mi it Is earned by the plants behavior as you find it blooming in the garden bed Or as a potted plant.
 The most amazing example of plant movement that resembles intelligent ac- tivfty is seen in the Venuss fytrap, whose leaves are called upon to help the roots in securing food for the plant. The leaf blade Is divided into two parts, a long basal portion. which does the ordinary leaf duty, and a rounded end portion rimmed with spines which Is specialized for the capture of flies and other insects
 The two sides of the trap face each other like the opposite pages of an open
