SCIENTIFIC sHovElING.

Those who read the review OF Mr.
iTaylor's article on Scientific Manage
ment in The Sunday Gate City may
have concluded that while science
could be applied to the handling of
pig iron it was unlikely that it could
be applied to any other task Yet evi-
dence in, hand is that it has been ap,
piled to many other tasks, one among
The number, treated of in the April
American magazine, being shoveling.
For example, says Mr.. Taylor.
the average man would question
whether there is much of any science
in the work of shoveling. Yet there is
but little doubt ii any intelligent
reader of this paper We're to set out
deliberately to find what may be call
ed the foundation of the science of
shoveling. that with perhaps fifteen
or twenty hours of thought and analy-
sis he would be almost sure have
arrived at the essence of this science
On the other hand, so completely are
the rule-of-thumb ideas still dominant
that the writer has never met a single
shovel contractor to whom it had ever
even occurred that there was such a
thing as a science of shoveling.
For the first-class shoveler there is
a given shovel load at which he will
do his biggest days work. What is
this shovel load? Will first-class
man do more work per day with a
shovel load of five pounds, ten pounds,
fifteen pounds, twenty pounds, thirty
or forty pounds Now, this is a ques-
ton which can be answered on,y
through carefully made experiments.
BY first selecting two or three first
class shovelers, paving them extra
wages for doing trustworthy work.
and then gradually varying the shovel
load and having all the conditions ac-
the work carefully observ-
ed for several weeks at time by men
who are used to experimenting, 1t was
found that first-class man would do
his biggest days work with a shovel
load of about twenty-one pounds. For
instance, that this man would shovel
a larger tonnage per day with TWEEN
ty-onepound load than with a twenty
four pound loador than with an eigh-
teen-pound load on his shovel. 1t is
Of course, evident that no shoyeler
can always take load of exactly
twenty-one pounds on his shovel but
nevertheless although his load may
vary three or four pounds one way or
the other, either below or above the
twenty-one pounds. the shoveler viii
do his biggest days work when his
average for the day is about twenty
one pounds"

THE COST OF POOR ROADS.

Here are q few figures cleaned from
official sources:
Wagon roads in the United States
2,151, $40 miles.
Improved (faced with gravel or
something better -176,429 miles.
Per cent of improved roads-S.2
Each year go, 100000 tons of farm
and forest products are hauled to mar
ket or railway stations over American
roads.
This hauling costs s432, 900, 900, or
twenty-three cents per ton per mile
1t costs about ten cents per ton per
mile to haul freight over an improy-
ed road.
Thus, if all our roads were improv-
ed it would mean saving of $500
100000 year in hauling alone.
1t viii cost fully $4,000, 900 900 to
put all the mud roads in America in
fair shape to make them merely good
gravel roads.
Three billion dollars is big sum
yet s200,o00,00o per year for fifteen
years would settle the bill
This country of ours is the richest
in the world-yet the poorest, most
tax-burdened country in Europe can
boast better roads than we can.

An AntIseptic Millennium.

CA Little Bit After Kipling.)
When grocer and butcher and baker
mind health laws laid down in
book,
When the cooks who rule in our kitch-
ems wear sterilized gloves when
they cook;
When butler, waiter and mattresses
shall be antiseptically fit,
When at antisepticized tables we
shall antiseptically sit.
And eat only pasteurized victuals
with sterilized spoons, forks
and knives,
And only from pasteurized bottle the
babies shall noursh their lives;
When we shall sleep only in bed
rooms from bacteria made inn
mune,
And take baths in boiling water only
(and be taking more of them
soon)
When taxicab seats shall be harm
less. and even the street cars
be clean,
When Pullman car berths shall be
spotless land porters don't have

When all coined money is polished
and bills are Numbered and
dried,
When the first microbe is forgotten
and the last one discovered has
died;
When handshakes shall be sanitary,
and kissing shall be made
crime,
When the air before we breathe it
shall be treated and stored
for time;-
Then those that survive shall be per
feet. and glad that they got in
the game,
And scientists only shall praise us
and scientists only shall blame.
We shall rest, and you bet We'll
want toilet up for "a whole
month or two,
Till the scientists all get together and
start us out on something new.
