CUTTING OUT WASTE MOTION
Unnecessary Fatigue May Be Avoided
and Much Greater Amount Of
Work Accomplished.

There is no waste Of any kind in
the world that equals the waste from
needless, ill-directed and ineffective
motions, and their resulting Unneces-
sary fatigue"
This remark was made in talk be-
fore the American Academy of Poll
tical and Social Science by Frank B.
Gilbreth, the man who discovered lost
motions in bricIzIaying and who has
since devoted his time to scientific
motion study.
Devising ways of preventing this
waste is now occupying great deal of
attention, and bringing to economy of
labor the application of scientific prin-
ciples has caused readjustment of
working conditions in many indus
tries. The application of so-called effi-
cheney methods in business means
simply showing an exact regard for
the relation of labor to a given task
so that there shall be no waste effort.
Our Offices and factories are being re-
adjusted so that time and unneces-
sary steps shall be saved.
Establishing motion standards for
the performance of routine work has
resulted in increased output and in
creased wages, with an accompanying
decrease In cost. Mr. Gilbreth points
out that most of us do not stop to
think about the time we waste in the
performance Of ordinary duties.
1t is declared that what motion
study has done for the industry 1t will
do for all human activities and that
a little more clear thinking about the
things we do-a little less senseless
hurry-and at the end of the day we
will have attained greater accomplish
ment, with less fatigue, and will be
in better sorts with ourselves and the
world.

Barbed wire. says the Manchester
Guardian, the origin OF which Sir Ian
Hamilton recently attributed with un-
historical picturesQueness to the devil,
was actually the invention OF an In.
genious lad named Latta. Fifty-four
years ago, the boy, then aged ten
years. saw on farm at some distance
from his home in New York state a
novel kind Of fence, with boarding
1t the top and another at the base. two
strands Of thin wire strung between.
On his asking the reason for that De-
culfar arrangement. he was told that
IL permitted the free passage Of the
wind and prevented snowdrifts In win
.tertime.
On the boys suggestion. his father
adopted that sort Of fencing on his
own farm. Then . neighbor allowed
his hogs to roam on the highway. and
they found Mr.. Latta's pasturage at
;tractive. The thought then occurred
ito young LattR that small barbs insert
led In the wire strands at distances Of
six inches might discourage them. The
'hogs did not mind the scratches much.
but the owner Of them objected. and
kept them at home.
The first patent taken out for barbed
wire was registered in the harmless
name Of Smith. in 1857.

the longevity OF the trees that grow
along the timber line Of the Rocky
mountains by Enos A. Mills In his
recently published Rocky Mountain

A few timber-line trees live a thou

age for most Of the timber-line vet
erans- The age Of these trees cam
not be judged by their size or by their
general appearance. There may be
centuries of difference In the ages Of

REFuTEs THE CANAL THEORY

ISOLATION raIss Issue With Sci
entIsts Concerning Mare.

According to the report on the 1909
opposition of Mars, published by the
section for the observation Of Mars
Of the British Astronomical associa-
ton. under the direction Of ID. M. An
toniadi, the alleged existence OF q
geometrical network of canals on
Mars has received lasting and IN
anrwerable confutation." Mr.. Anton
iadi had the advantage OF using on
Mars the great Meudon refractoF, the
most powerful telescope in the Old
World. In working with smaller In
struments he himself had, like other
observers, obtained frequent glimpses
CT narrow. straight lines, but In the
Meuoon instrument these lines were
seen only when the definition was
bad and the image of the planet "iiar-

and standings, replacing the sharp. mar

nounces the geometrical lines. and al.
so the doubling OF the lines. mere op-
tical illusions. and presents large
number of his own drawings side by
side with those made Of the same reg
ions by Schiaparelli and Lowell, In
support OF this contention. He notes
that the markings which Schiaparelli

GRADING EGGS FOB MAR q
Extra First-cIass Variety Weigh at
Least Twenty-seven Ounces to
Dozen and Are Clean.

In large city markets eggs are usu-
ally graded into five classes. These
grades are designated as follows Ex-
ira firsts, firsts, seconds, thirds, checks
and leakers.
Eggs that go into the extra first
class weigh at least 81 ounces to the
dozen, are clean, of strong shell, and
uniform in size, shape and color The
air cell must be no larger than a
dime.
Firsts must compare with extra
firsts on all points, excepting size.
Eggs in this class must weigh at least
"a ounces to the dozen.
Eggs that are classed as seconds
weigh at least % ounces to the dozen.
The air cell may be the size of quar-
ter dollar. Eggs in this classification
must be clean, and uniform in shape
and color.
All sound eggs that fall below the
three classifications given above are
termed thirds. This class takes all eggs
that weigh less than 20 ounces to the
dozen, all dirty eggs and eggs that
show large air cells and dark yolks.
The double-yolked eggs and those Of
poor shape also go into this class.
Checks and leakers are cracked and
broken eggs. A check is one cracked,
but not sufficiently to allow the con-
tents to escape. A leaker is one
broken SO badly that the contents es-
cape. Checks and leakers do not
stand shipment, and should always
be used or marketed at home while
strictly fresh.
In Gambling many eggs fall below
any of these classiflcations given
above and are a total loss. All rotten
eggs, those that show blood rings.
mold spots, and those that are badly
soiled are unfit for food and are
dumped.
In conclusion, it may be stated that
the supply of extra flrsts and firsts
never equals the demand, and that
more thirds, checks and leakers are
offered than can be disposed of.

PLANTING FOR BEST RESULTS
Place Tree Roots in Connection With
Soil as Nearly as Possible
as Before Removal.

The perfection of planting consists
in placing the tree roots in connection
with the soil as nearly as possible in
the same direction as that in which
they were before removal and but
slightly-one or two inches-deeper
than the tree stood in the nursery.
If the season is very dry it will be a
good plan to give each tree bucket
full or two of water when nearly done
planting.
Planting should not be done too
early-not before the leaves will come
of easily. They must in no case be
left on the trees, even for an hour or
two after digging. as they carry off
moisture rapidly, and the trees would
soon be wilted to certain extent
and to strip off the leaves by hand
before their Office is completed is not
q good plan. The planting may con-
tinue as long as the soil works well
lis not wet and sticky and the ground
not too hard.

PAINTING With Airbrushes.


Painting and vanishing of large
surfaces is now being successfully ac-
complished by means of airbrushes,
which send the liquid paint in huge
spray all over the object.
At big furniture factory in New
York they place chair upon revolv-
ing platform under galvanized iron
hood. in the back of which is an cleo
trio fan drawing the air out into an ex-
haust fiue. and in the top Of which are
electric lamps in front Of refiectors.
The painter stands with an object that
looks like pistol in his hand This is
the airbrush, which is attached to q
tube leading from a tank in which the
paint is under 70 pounds OF pressure
furnished by dynamo and is kept con-
stantly stirred. On pressing the trig-
ger the paint is projected like show
er bath all over the chair.

soap to use. After this is done sprin-
kle about one quart of fresh air
s1aked lime or wood ashes around
the base of the tree and fill in with
fresh earth. Sifted coal and wood
ashes may be used instead of lime:
both are good. The worming should
be done in the fall and again in the
spring. The ashes OF slaked lime
should be applied in the fall, in the
spring and at the end of summer may
be spread around the tree Ashes and
lime form an excellent dressing for
fruit trees. 1t is good plan to spread
half bushel of sifted coal ashes
around each fruit tree during the win
ter. The ashes will prevent the moth
from laying its eggs in the soft bark
Of the tree. As there is considerable
wood burned with the coal, the ashes
have considerable potash and act as a
direct fertilizer and also as a mulch.
Professor Smith of the New Jersey
experiment station recommends q
thick mixture of cement and milk ap-
piled with brush to the collar after
the tree has been wormed in April.
It should be put on when the bark Is
dry. two inches below the ground and
Is inches above the surface of ground.
We have used this mixture and found
1t satisfactory.
Mr.. Harrison in his book, How to
Grow and Market Fruit" says: ITO
prevent borers from entering any kind
of trees, apply to the trunks, about
the middle of June. the whale oil soap
solution No. Is or lime-sulphur solu-
ton No. 10. Painting the lower 10
inches of trunks with pure white lead
and raw linseed oil will help, too. Ap-
pie borers, however, sometimes enter
three or four feet from the ground,
but these worms never get very big.
Salt and ashes or tobacco dust, In a
layer a couple Of inches deep about
the base Of the tree, win kill the
worms that drop of and try to reach
the trunk
The old rough bark should be
scraped of the trunk and larger limbs
and then washed with a mixture of
soft soap and wood ashes. Use a stiff
brush. Another method recommended,
after the old bark is removed, is to
give a thick coat of lime wash to the
larger limbs. The ground should be
cleared of grass and weeds and either
plowed or forked up. Plow shallow
near the trees. The singletrees and
pillow traces should be wrapped with
sacking to prevent injuring the trees.
Fall is the best time for this work,
when the ground is mellow and the
weather mild.

Listening for Bullets.

x-rays have enabled doctors to &C
complish miracles in the way of find
ing foreign substances In the human
body and of treating internal wounds.
and now there has come an invention
that actually enables physicians to dis
cover embedded bullets by sound. II
is described In Tit-Bits:
The apparatus consists Of special
telephone. with double receivers One
end Of the telephone wire is attached
to small piece o. platinum, which is
placed ON the patients skin near the
wound and held In position by plaster
or by bandage. The other end of the
telephone wire IL in the form of q dis
injected thread of silver. which is
used because 1t can be readily attached
to any of the surgeons instruments
q knife, q probe. a needle or a pair of
forceps. The only precaution neces-
sary 10 that the terminating wire
should be very firmly attached to the
instrument.
When the surgeon puts the telephone
receiver to his ear and begins to use
his instrument on the tissues. he will
hear with great distinctness q grating
sound that IL known as a microphonic
rattle the instant the instrument
touches any metal imbedded in the pa
TENTS tissue.
The value Of this apparatus to sur
geons on the battlefield is naturally
very great.

HISTORY ONE or BLooDsHED


The characteristics Of no people In
Europe are probably so little known
to the world at large as those of Ser
bia. The Serbians are primitive
people with strong passions and In
spired as are all primitive people by
the clan spirit. The vendetta and
blood feud prevail among them. OF
the seven Serbian princes who have
ruled the land since the beginning Of
the nineteenth century the first. Kara
georsevitch, was murdered: TIE sec
ond. Prince Milosh, was expelled; the
third, Prince Michael, was murdered;
the fourth. Alexander Karageorge-
witch, had to sbdicate; the fifth. King
Milan obrenovitch, was expelled; the
sixth. King Alexander /, was muir
dered; the seventh. King Peter. the
present ruler, has spent much OF his
life in exile. Serbia is a peasant state
with liberal and progressive consti-
tuition. The national parliament is
elected by universal male suffrage and
large proportion Of the members be-
longs to the peasant class. 1t is ho-
mogeneous nation of independent
farmers. It has been called the poor
mans paradise" as there are mex
hsustible mineral resources In the
mountains, but Serbia has been less
explored than the most remote parts
Of the United States.
