Where Do Pins Go?

The output of pins Is large, and II the
outgo would not also large the country
soon would be overstocked with these
essential articles of daily use, says the
Louisville Courier-Journal.
Many persons wonder what becomes of
the pins. and French scientist has
deemed the question of sufficient moment
to make n painstaking investigation. The
pins. he says, go back to the dust of
mother earth. His experiments have
shown that an ordinary pin left exposed
to the elements will disappear In IS
months A common hairpin will dissolve
into dust in 154 days steel pin VIII
vanish into dust in IS months, but a
polished steel needle will Withstand the
ravages of time for a period of 21a years.
1t Is a matter of common knowledge
that pins and similar articles which be-
come imbedded In the earth will gradual
ly melt away and finally become part
OF the soil. Nobody except a scientist.
however, would undertake to keep time
on the process of dissolution and figure
out the exact life Of pin which has been
lost in the mud or swallowed in dust
Pins are useful, but they are cheap,
and no one gives much thought to their
conservation. Billions of pins are lost in
this country every year and are resolved
into parent dust. but II the people took a.
sudden notion to be economical In this
respect half the pin factories would have
to go out of business. and members of
the pinmakers union would be out of a
fob. Even in the waste of pins. there
fore, there is stimulus to industry. The
schoolboy's composition had 1t that pins
have saved thousands of lives by 1Aople
not swallowing them In other and more
substantial ways they are 'life-savers,"
which the world. though ofttimes it de-
spitefully uses them, cannot get along
without.

REDUCTION IS MADE
IN EGG QUOTATIONS
Prices Down to 30 Cents.
Slight Drop in Price
of Butter

The egg market on Morris avenue
went wild" yesterday. the quotations
falling 20 80 cents for graded eggs ana
to 50 cents for extra graded. The reasons
advanced for the drop are that ship
ments are now much more regular and
that the demand is hardly so brisk as
II might be.
Butter also experienced drop of one
cent on the pound and the demand is
said to be very good. The supply is
somewhat heavier than the demand.
In the produce market a rise I'm the
price of oranges is predicted TO take
place within the next two or three days
The reason is that a large shipment of
oranges from Florida were about 50 per
cent spoiled and the supply of edible
oranges is somewhat curtailed.
Consignments of fancy fish are being
received in the fish market, the demand
getting stronger each day. Quotations
remain stationary.
