VERY LITTLE HAND LABOR
At Least 80 Per Cent. Of Factory Work
Of the World is Now Done
by Machinery.

Year by year more and more of the
work of the world is taken up by ma
chinery. In bulletin recently issued
by the government 1t Is estimated that
100000 factory workers in the Unit
ed States turn out product equal to
the hand labor of 45,0O0,O0O men.
This means that in the factories 90
per cent. Of the work is done by ma.
chinery. A very large part of this ma.
chlnery Is driven by steam power
which means largely coal power. and
both the. getting and burning Of this
coal involves a terrible waste. In
the United States alone the production
OF coal now reaches nearly 100000 900
tons, and In the whole world far above
1,OOO,OOO,OO0 tons. And it is estimated
that this means the actual mining of
half again as much coal. One-third is
lost or left in the mines in such shape
that it cannot be used.
Then Of this net production-the
two-thirds neutrality-suspicious. 90 per
cent. is lost in the burning At least
this Is true of the coal used in engines.
Even the finest quadruple-expansion
engines, with all modern devices of su.
perheated steam and the like to aug
ment their capacity, do not utilize
more than IA per cent. of the energy
stored in the coal, while the average
steam engine of commercial use does
not get more than six or seven per
cent. In other words, 1t is only about
three per cent. of the chained-up sun
light In the ground that eventually be-
comes available for human needs.
And, further than this, the mere
hauling and handling and storage and
distribution of this coal costs the
United States alone probably full
OOO,00O,000. The coal traffic is, in.
deed, the chief item of railway trans.
portation. From all this it is suffi.
GENTLY clear why the problem of uti.
llzlng coal energy has SO deeply en-
gagged the minds of inventors and en-
gineers, and why ever relatively
small gain would mean so much to the
human race.-Collier's Weekly.

The largest novel in the world has

FOUR MONTHS FOR
 BEATING HIS WIFE
William Egan, Whose Better Half Put Him in the Hospital, Falls to Get
 Much Sympathy From Judge.

William Egan was given stiff dose of etiquette medicine by Judgc James T. Meskill in police court to- day when he was sent to jail for four months for beating his wife.
 The Egans had dispute at their home on Beaver street last Saturday and as a result Egan was sent to the hospital, Mrs. Egan failing to live up to the general opinion that her sex Is the weaker. A pile of plates that were on the kitchen table did the trick and Egan was carted away in the police ambulance.
 In police court Egan tried to ex- plain his conduct by saying he sim- ply was objecting to some pet names his wife was calling him. Judge Meskill imposed the jail sentence in such quick style that Egan's breath was taken away.
 William Sheehan was arrested last night for assau1ting Sabata Sepot. driver of beer wagon, who was pulled off his team early this week on Hartford avenue and punched. The charge was nolled as 1t was dis covered that the wrong Sheehan had been arrested.

NEW BRITAIN MAN PATR0LL|NC BORDER
SerQeant \. 4. Clark is Stationed
 at Fl Paso, Texas.

Stationed at El Paso, Texas, with & detachment of men under his com mand, is a New Britain man who Is patrolling the border of Mexico to keep any marauding "Greasers' from sneak ing across the international line and committing depredations on American soil, and also going to the relief of many American refugees who are hourly fleeing from the interior. This man is Sergeant A. A. Clark of Com pany I, goth United States Infantry, son of Former Town Treasurer and Mrs.. Samuel w. Clark of 11S Green- wood street. Many times during the past few weeks Sergeant Clark and his little detachment have heard the hum of rifle balls as they whizxed by their heads, having been fired from across the border by band of constitutionalists, but they have never faltered or paled and indeed their only worry has been that they have not been sent across to wipe out the Mexicans. Sergeant Clark, and his men are seasoned campaigners vet erans of many fierce battles, and to their ears the sound of musketry Is as of music.
 Has Served 15 Years.
 Sergeant Clark has served nearly fifteen consecutive years in the United States army and when his present term expires next February he will re-enlist. It has now been five years since he has been home to see his parents, but he writes reg ularly twice each week.
 It was during the stirring days of 1898 that MT. Clark caught the war fever. He enlisted in Company E for the Spanish-American war and when he was mustered out he enlist ed in Company E, Second U. s. 1n- fantry. He saw active service in Cuba and served in Honolulu with Company r of the 17th U. $. Infan- try.
 Is sharpshooter.
 As a marksnan Sergeant Clark Is counted among the best that Uncle Sam has in the service. He has two medals for sharpshooting and on July 19, of last year, he was awarded a medal for the western division con- test at Fort Niagara.
 Is Patrolling Border.
 In his letters to his parents Ser geant Clark avoids much reference to
 
 sent home his two snarpsh hooters medals, stating that he wanted to feel sure that they were safe so that in case he was sent into Mexico and any thing happened to him, they would remain in the family. In a letter received this week Sergeant Clark wrote that for the past three nights, previous to his writing, he had been patrolling the border all night with three belts of ammunition about his waist and prepared to shoot on the slightest provocation. At the time of his writing he stated that there were but 1000 American soldiers with him at El Paso while there were at least 5000 Mexicans across the river, but, he added, any one Ameri- can soldier is as good as three or a half dozen "greasers."
