as an impractical and unproductive

happily, life is not constituted solely
on the pick-and-shovel principle. The
earth is not fiat, and the sky is not

this little globe of ours Is on the most

Why Gary is Gary.

The formation of the new immense
steel company in Pennsylvania, with
w. e. Corey as president, refreshes
the mind as to the reason why In
diana's magic iron city on Lake Michi.
igan came to be called Gary" said DR..
w. b. Clarke. When the town was
founded 1t was to be called Corey,
after this same Mr.. Corey. then head
OF the United States Steel Corporation.
Then occurred the Corey matrimonial
episode in New York, which unneces-
sarily alarmed sensitive capital, and
the present name, Gerry, was selected.
Probably the new company can now
nave a town named Corey. Judge
Mayo OF the new town now called
Gary, was selected as a committee to
wait on Mr.. r. II. Gary in New York,
now the head OF the steel corporation,
to obtain his permission to use his
name in that connection-and IL took
two trips to get it, That this is the
true reason why Gary is Gary is
shown by the fact that this story Is
told just as Judge Mayo told 1t to me-"

AS TO THE MAKING or PINS
Process Is An Intricate and Interest
Ing One, All Conducted by
Machinery.

TO make q pin Is an intricate pro-
cess, but 1t is all done by machinery.
spool OF brass wire running on steel
posts is fed into jaws which bite of
the length Of the pin. A small length
ls left to make the head, which Is
formed by three rapid blows of q
manner which moves forward one
twentieth OF an inch at each blow. The
Din then drops to an incline in which
are grooves deep enough to admit the
shank, but not the head. AS the DIN
moves down its point comes In con.

around so that 1t "a sharpened on all
Sides
1t next drops into a receptacle
where layer Of pins is placed, and
then a layer Of finely ground tin until
the pan is filled. Heat and a chemical
solution coat the pins with tin. They
are then polished in barrel revolving
rapidly. They are placed in the pa
pers by a machine, which seizes the
paper and crimps 1t into divisions as
wide as the length Of the pins
The bottom Of the box is made of
square steel bars, which allow the
shanks but not the heads Of the pins
to pass through. The bars are In mo-
ton, thus shaking down the pins until
a row Is formed, when they are
clamped in place by the bars. A fold
Of paper is pushed up against them
and pressed into place. This is re-
peated until the paper Is full, when
another takes its place. 1t all sounds
intricate, but being done by machin-
cry II is rapid and cheap, else we
could not have the billions of pins that
We waste.-Exchange

SCIENTISTS KEEP AT WORK
Turmoil Of War Seems to Have Had
Little Effect on the Develop
ment Of Ideas.

So thick and fast come the devel-
opments of science in these days that
men are losing their sense Of astonish-
ment. The impossible becomes the
actual so often that 1t is unsafe to
say that anything cannot be done. A
few months ago the first telephone
message was transmitted across the
continent. Today we hear that a
still greater distance has been covered
by wireless telephone. Forty years
ago current Of electricity could not
be made to jump more than a few
inches through a vacuum. Today
there is no known limit to it, or ratb-
er to the capacity of new instruments
to detect 1t. Some electrical en-
gineers believe that messages could be
sent to the moon, and perhaps out into
infinite space through the ether just
as easily as from San Francisco to
Honolulu through the atmosphere
With all this, no man can tell what
electricity is. All we know about 1t
is that wheL certain thing is done
certain results follow.-New York

WAR HAS CUT OFF GENIUS
But Famous Russian Bacteriolosist
Believes Science Will Continue
to Forge Ahead.

i asked Metchnikoff a while ago
whether the war really deprived the
world of genius; whether we should
have to wait long years for new inven.
tions, for the solution OF problems
which vex and weigh upon humanity,
says writer in the London Observer
The veteran bacteriologist was in a
hopeful mood. In the calm of his lab
oratory, in which found him engaged
on study Of silkworms as If there
were no earth-shaking war, he spoke
to this effect:
1T is true that there has been a
loss Of science on the battlefield. Two
of the young doctors here have died
at the front; young professor Of
promise has also perished. These are
but samples Of what has happened ev.
erywhere. But do not despair. Ma.
ture is boundless in her resources; the
regenerative force of France and Rus
sia Is not exhausted"
On the contrary, he feels that this
frightful war may advance science
rather than retard it. II the Germans
are beaten they will turn more readily
to their interrupted studies and knowl-
edge will benefit by their application.
/ did not ask the learned investiga-
tor whether he thought the German
was indispensable to science; but, at
the moment, England leads the way,
and one Of her sons, graduate of a
new university, has discovered what
appears to be the ideal antiseptic.
Doctor Dakin, the fortunate scientist,
has been working with Doctor Carrel,
the French.American, at the Com.
piegne branch of the Rockefeller in
stitute. The young savant treats Of
his discovery in the British Medical
Journal" And now, the French hos.
pital, If not the last work in scientific
installation-for that costs money and
great deal of it's at least admir-.
ably adapted to the end in view-the
rapid recovery of men from their
wounds.

SOLOMON ON ENGLISH BENCH
Judge Suggested That Half-Starved
Bear Be Allowed to Eat
Lame Pony.

A Snowman named Viso Markinko.
witch. belonging to band of Serbian
gypsies, was charged the other day
at West London with i'll treating q
brown bear and a pony.
Inspector Brockhouse said the bear
was tied by the nose and neck to q
van, and fell down when its chain
was undone. It was in a neglected
condition, and when offered some
pieces of bread Simply took them
like pills" boiling the food ravenous-
ly. The pony, which was also tied to
the van, was lame. Both animals
were being dragged along.
The prisoner, through an interpret
er. declared he was Ill, and IL q doctor
would certify him well he would be
willing to 60 to prison for twenty
years.
A veterinary surgeon said the bear
wanted feeding up, but 1t was cruelty
to allow the pony to live.
Then 1t would be better II the bear
ate the pony" the Judge said, for the
bear would then be fed and the pony
would be out Of its misery. I under
stand that these wild and carnivorous
animals have to be kept half starved
or they become dangerous?'
That is so.' said the witness, but
not so much as IN this case"
A remand was granted, not to en-
able the bear to eat the pony, but to
allow the prisoner to engage an attor-

LENGTH OF LIFE INCREASED
Not Yours or Mine, but Those OF the
Coming Generation Of United
States Citizens.

DR.. Victor c. Vaughns assurance
that the average length of life in the
United States has been increased ter
years since 1880 makes cheerful read
ing. Coming from a man who has
been president of the American Med
fcal association, the information is
doubtless exact, but 1t may be easily
misunderstood. Doctor Vaughn does
not mean that ten years have been
added to the ordinary mans life. On
the contrary, there are plenty of fig
ures to prove that life has been cut
short rather than heightened from the
station fifty years and onward. The
so-called diseases of maturity have
been making sad havoc among our
elderly men Of late, and nothing has
happened to check the loss.
The gain Of ten years to which Doc
tor Vaughn refers has been effected
by saving the lives Of children who
would formerly have perished of pre-
ventable diseases. Each child thus
saved increases the average length of
life, though mature persons 60 on dy-
Ing prematurely, Just as they did be-
fore. Statistics are sometimes very
delusive.

men with the rescue of young children
from untimely death is filing the

neighborhood OF forty years is in
creasing rapidly. That between fifty
