HOME OF THE GREAT GUNS.
Many Other Things, Too, Made at the
Krupp Works at Essen.

| Essen, the home of the great krupp gun
works, is one of the most conspicuous ex-
amples OF oneman town. 1t is practi-
cally Just hundred years old In 1911,
when the first crucible furnace for casting
steel was set up by a poor hard working
| population of Essen was under 1000.
In 1891 it was 1S3,500, of which the
Krupp contingent numbered about $4,000
| This, and great deal more, too, is cs-
sentially the work of one man. anil 1t is
unparalleled in the history of industry,
| The corporation now owns iron and coal
mines and over 1000 houses.
| The products from Krupp's are varied.
Compare this with the highly specialized
condition of the industries in this country
The Krupps fame is chiefly associated
with war. materials but all kinds Of fin
ished and unfinished materials for rail
roads engines, tools, mills and other in
dustrial appliances are turned out in large
and small quantities.
| The shops have been built at different
dates and vary accordingly, but as whole
they possess in marked degree that order
and cleanliness which are the most distin-
gushing features of German factories
This extends to the foundries, where one
! usually finds dust, smoke and confusion.
A speciality here is the casting OF very
large ingOts of crucible steel 1t is a re-
markable sight and an object lesson in Ger
man methods Ingots of So tons are cast
feat which is not attempted in any other
place. The steel is melted in small cruci-
bles, which are carried by hand, and there
fore contain no more than two men can
lift.
Scores of such crucibles go to the max
ing of an ingot of considerable size. and
they occupy many furnaces, when are
ranged on both sides of the foundry. with
the ingot mould in the centre. At the sig
nal the furnaces are opened and the cruel
bles drawn out and seized by small arn,y
of workmen, who run them down to the
mould and pour them in.
1t is clear that to do the thing on large
scale perfect method in preparation and
order in execution are necessary. The
maneuvre is carried out with military pre-
cision and promptness. In moment the
place is aglow with the white heat of the
furnace, the figures run from all sides and
come staggering down in pairs with the

So much do we hear and read OF the
attraction OF laughter that we ind II al
most shocking 10 realize how very seldom
a musical laugh is heard. Very few men
have agreeable laughs Women, as a rule,
Understand the art little better. Laugh
ter comes more naturally TO them. Not
because they have a great sense OF humor,
but because they use laughter for great
er variety of purpose than do men; No'
men laugh in ooquetry, and they also use
light laugh to bridge conversational gaps.
Women really use laughter IN all their
lighter moods. All laughter TO be attrac'
tive must first be natural, So, then, the
ideal laughter OF a man or woman must
have sincerity as 1t basis. And ideal
laughter is always kind Real mirth laughs
with a person, never at them.-New York

A good method for preventing wet shoes
from drying stiff and out of shape is to

Considerable planting was done IN ben

wear. where very little interest has been
shown previously, The largest private
plantation made this year was that of Dir.
William Stanford Stevens of Enosburg,
where about $4,000 trees were planted,
part of which had been raised on his farm.
Extensive plantations were made also on
the state lands in Plaintield and Sharon
and by the International Paper company
on its Vermont lands.
Tn to the present time the state nursery
has been unable to supply the demand Tor
three.yearold trees, but from now, on It
is expected that practically unlimited
orders can be filed, as about 6Oo;;ooo two
vear-old pine seedlings were this year
transplanted in the nursery White pine

on the light soil of the Burlington nursery;
but at the Sharon nursery, where the soil

a large supply Of Norway spruce. Great
loss was suffered during the past winter IN

Warden Harry Chase.

Through the recent resignation Of Coun
ty Game Warden Harry Chase, Benning
ton county and the state at large will here
after be deprived Of the services OF an OH
cial who has done more to create proper
respect for the FISH and game laws Of Yer
mont than any other one man. In the
opinion of the Banner, Harry Chase was
one Of the leading game wardens m New
England He was not only an official APP
pointed to secure the enforcement OF GER
tain statutes, but he is a student OF con
ditions. While he seldom took a rod OF
gun into the woods his enthusiasm Tor. the
protection of our fast disappearing bird
and animal life is not exceeded by the IN
terest of the most ardent sportsman. Dur
ing the six years that he held the position
of county warden, he enforced the law
without fear or favor and his record on the
books of the department is not likely to
be euualled in the immediate future
Neither is it probable that il will be nee
essary for a warden in Bennington county
at least, to make such list Of arrests as
marked the first few years of Chases term
in office. The men who fish and hunt IN
Bennington county have acquired some oil
the former warden's respect for the pro
tective laws during the past half dozen
years and men who formerly tished and
hunted in and out of season have come to
see that they were acting against their own
best interests.

BRATTLEBoRo, FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1911

That mosquitoes. flies or other insect
nests are preyed upon by nearly 1000
varieties of American birds, of which the
vanishing shorebirds occupy a prominent
place, is shown in a special bulletin that
is being prepared to be sent throughout
the country from the headquarters of the
National Association OF Audubon societies
in New York Based upon recent investiga'
tions of the government biological survey,
this circular of warning will present proof
that for every shorebird of the thousands
that are now allowed to be killed, nature s
fight to keep down the spread OF disease
and crop plague is weakened by the loss
of very active agent. Unless the Kill
deer, the Upland Plover, the Sandpiper
and other shorebirds are speedily granted
adequate protection, hygienic and agrlcul'
tural conditions all over the continent will
undoubtedly suffer. it is declared. Nine
species of the shorebirds that are found in
almost every region OF this country are
known to consume enormous quantities OF
mosquitoes, for whose extinction many
millions of dollars have been spent by the
people of several sections. Scientific ex.
animation of the stomachs of IS Of the
Northern Phalarope variety OF these birds
is reported by the government authorities
10 have Just disclosed the fact that %
per cent of their diet had consisted of such
noxious mosquitoes as the salt marsh
breed. which the authorities of various
cities are attempting to suppress at great
expense. These birds, which do so much
to >check the mosquito plague and It's
attendant spread OF disease through the
continent, are shown to be among the
species whose extinction is at this time
threatened on account of lax laws for their
proper protection.

New Remedy That Removes Freckles
or Costs Nothing.

Here's chance, Miss Freckle- Face,
to try new remedy for freckles with
the guarantee of reliable dealer that
it will not cost you a penny unless it
removes the freckles, while if it does
give you clear complexion, the ex-
pense is trifling
Simply get an ounce of othine, double

nights treatment will show you how
easy it is to rid yourself forever of the
complexion. Rarely is more than an
ounce needed for the worst case.

the only prescription sold under guar
antee of money back if it fails to re.
move freckles.
