A,ahces, but the latest undoubtedly is
the romands Of key OF steel rivets.
The outcome of this Is being eagerly
awaited by $50 men employed at the
plant Of an iron company at Con-
shohocken.
The key arrived at the plant yester-
day. When the head was of the
workman was surprised to see on
top of the commonplace rivets an en-
velope addressed in a pretty. girlish
hand. ITO the one who opens this
key"
The ironworker called comrade or
two and they opened the note and
read, written on dainty bit of pa.
per. few sentences which asked the
Under to communicate with the writer.
A girls name was signed at the bot
tom. above an address in a Massachu-
sets town.
The finder Of the note told others
about 1t and they in turn spread the
news until nearly every one at the
plant heard it. One hundred and fifty
men wrote to the fair correspondent
last night. some sending letters and
others picture postcards

MEAL, FROM WASTE

for several years in Europe, and to
small extent in this country.

corn and rye. Pine and spruce saw

chest, it is sacked or baled for ship.
ment. 1t is then worth S12 to s13
Il ton.
The flour has number Of uses, ono
of which is in the making of dynamite.
1t is the absorbent for the nitrogly-
cerine, which is the explosive ingred-
lent. Wood flour is inferior to that
made with infusorial earth as the alb
sorbent; but it serves many purposes.
and is cheaper. But dynamite is one
of the smallest prospective uses for
the product. Linoleum makers mix
it with linseed oil and give body to
their floor coverings. 1t is not con-
sidered quite equal to ground cork for
this purpose, as it is less elastic; but
it is cheaper and meets requirements
for medium grades.
The flour fills an important place in
the manufacture Of yyolite, kind Of
artificial flooring, resembling wood in
weight, and stone in other respects.
1t is used for kitchen floors, and in
halls, corridors, cafes, restaurants, and
public rooms. 1t is impervious to wa
ter, and is practically tireproof. 1t is
floor material in some of the German
war vessels. 1t is so used because it
is not liable to take fire or splinter
if struck by shells.
Many additional uses for wood -four
will probably be found. The amount
of sawdust to be had in this country
is practically unlimited, and millmen
will welcome any plan that will lessen
the waste at the sawdust dump. Nor
way exports thousands of tons of this
sawdust flour yearly, and the United
States takes some of it. Germany Is
a large manufacturer also. and has
been for years. England is an extern
sive buyer. and much goes to France.
