ness.

There are three concerns in this
country today that make practically
all the gauges and inspection tools
for this country, and ship much of
that same material to Europe, de-
clares Howard E. Coffin, in Worlds
Work. Those concerns are all in
New Observation-Disclosures two are
in seacoast cities. They have gotten
together and have compiled figures
more or, less for their own informa-
tion. Those figures show that to
produce 100000 shells day in this
country of the sizes required by the
army and navy would require an
equipment in measuring tools and
guages and inspection gauges alone
of from II million to 20 million
tools and would take the combined
capacity Of their plants five years to
produce them, and the lack of these
tools is one of the main reasons to-
day why American manufacturers
are unable to fill orders from Eu-
rope.

Up to Mr.. McLaurin.

The suggestion made by Mr.. N. B.
Dial that he and Senator McLaurin
hold joint meeting in each of the
congressional districts of the State
for the purpose of discussing the
State warehouse ought to meet
with the hearty approval of Mr.. Nc
Laurin, who has expressed desire
to have the warehouse system fully
explained before the people. This is
common sense suggestion of Mr..
Dial's and carrying it out only hinges
upon the consent of Mr.. McLatrin.
It is hardly to be expected that any
county chairman would refuse to call
a meeting for discussion of this i'm
portant question, but in case any of
them should refuse Mr.. McLaurin
and Mr.. Dial could call their own
meeting. There is nothing now to
prevent the question from being full
ly aired. Will Mr.. McLaurin take up
the gauntlet? t?-Laurens Advertiser.

Music Everywhere.

Every village contains a potential
singing society, every church con-
tains a potential choir, every family
in which there are children might
sing simple songs together, writes
Thomas w. Surette, in the Atlantic.
There is a singing club hidden away
in every neighborhood. Every city
might have, on occasion, thousands
of people singing fine songs and
hymns. What is the present need ?
Leaders-educated musicians who
have learned the technique of their
art and have, at the same time,
learned to understand and appre-
ciate the greatest music, and who
prefer it to any other. Our institu-
tions for training musicians are send
ing out a continual stream of grad
yates, many of whom begin their la
bors in small towns and cities. Near
ly every community has at least one
man with sufficient technical knowl-
edge of music to direct groups of
singers, large and small.

Not The Greatest.

"Sir," said the sleek-looking agent,
approaching the desk Of the meek
looking man and opening one OF
those folding thingumajigs showing
styles of bookbinding. II believe
can interest you in this massive set
of books containing the speeches OF
the worlds greatest orators. Seven
ty volumes, 81 down and 81 a month
until the price, $3.50, has been paid.
This set of books gives you the most
celebrated speeches of the greatest
takers the world has ever known
and"
LET me see the index" said the
meek man, according to Farming
business.
The agent handed it to him and
he looked through it carefully and
methodically, running his finger
along the list of names. Reaching
the end he handed the index back to
the agent and said: 1T isn't what
you claim it is. I happen to know
the greatest talker in the world, and
you haven't got her in the index"

Humming Birds Nests.

Even in those parts of tropical
America where, as in Colombia, hum
ming birds are vastly numerous, it is
almost impossible for the most ex-
perienced naturalist to find their
nests. And this, although, as rule,
they are not hidden at a1l-the
feathered builders relying for con-
cealment upon the likeness OF their
tiny houses to the surroundings amid
which they are placed. A hummer
nest always corresponds exactly In
color with the branch to which it is
attached. 1t may initiate knot or
other excresence. Thus the Calliope
humming bird of the western United
States often builds on dead pine
twig, either upon or near cone OF
similar size and hue.
Usually the nests OF humming
birds are cup shaped or turban shap-
ed. and their material is always
plant down. Such down, resembling
cottonwood, but of more delicate
fibre, is gathered from the stems OF
ferns and other plants. This Is
woven together with spiders webs
into a compact mass. Usually they
ornament the outside Of the nest
with small feathers, or lichens which
they obtain by detaching them from
the rocks where these humble plants
grow. These they fasten with cob
webs all over the exterior Of their
tiny house.
When these wee architects sus-
pend their nests from leaves or ten
drills, they are always weighed for
stability, in order that they may not
be upset by every passing breeze. For
this purpose the bottom is made very
thick. But the most remarkable ex-
pedient is that adopted by the hill
stars. which dwell far up near the
snow-line of the Andes; they weight
the tiny, suspended house on the
lighter side with a pebble, to give the
proper balance. There is no ques-
ton whatever that this is done, and
many of the nests of such species,
preserves in collections, are found to
contain pebbles.-Rose L. Honeyman
in st. Nicholas.

Caruso and Chaplin Meet.

Two members of the high salary
club in the amusement world, Enrico
Caruso and Charley Chaplin, met in
the tenor's dressing room at the
Metropolitan opera house recently,
in an entr'-acte of "Rigoletto," :"
which William J. Guard, who keeps
news of the Metropolitan, from ap-
pearing in the newspapers, was re-
sponsible for the meeting, taking
Mr.. Chaplin by his salary and lead
ing him into Mr.. Caruso's dressing
room.
''This is the Caruso of the cine
ma," began Mr.. Guard.
The tenor, who was making up in
front of his mirror, gave quizzical
look at the stranger and grunted a
"Huh?" !
'Charley Chaplin" explained Mr..
Guard"
"Aha!" said Mr.. Caruso, dropping
his rouge stick and eyebrow pencil.
"Aha! congratulate you-you make
nice contracts"
"Oh, I don't know" modestly
side-stepped Mr.. Chaplin. "What
about yourself?"
. Don't mention it," shrinkingly
replied the tenor.
"Well, gentlemen, leave you two
to argue it out. But before arrang-
ing it, promise not to take all the
money in the world" pleaded Mr.
Guard as he went out, leaving the
two members Of the highly salary
trust together.

DAGUERREOTYPES IN FAVOR.
Portraits of q Generation Ago Are
Now Treasured.

Fashion takes many backward
fights. 1t already has been affected
by ways back in the early days
tendencies in the furnishings of the
home, the style of dress, customs
and manners. Now it is taking a
turn at daguerreotype photograph
says the Minneapolis Journal.
New York society is daguerreotype
mad. Minneapolis society is follow
ing suit.
Until recently the daguerreotype
photograph album has been tucked
away, far out of sight. Today its
contents are taken out and given q
place in the cabinet that contains the
choicest family heirlooms.
At present the person having in his
or her possession old family daguer-
reotypes may revel in the knowledge
of such ownership. A merry hunt
for the old style portraits is on. Cot
fers and chests are ransacked. What
Joy, when out from the depth OF
dust-covered trunks are brought to
light the likeness of grand and great
grandparents, immortalized on tin
! or copper plate.
Metals are precious articles nova
days, but this only adds to the zest OF
revival of daguerreotype photog-
raphy. New York has given out the
decree that to own a daguerreotype
always has been one of the proofs OF
social standing and rank, for "only
the well-to-do could afford to- have
them in the olden days. Washing

TO PUMP OUT ZUIDER ZEE.
Project Will Cost the Netherlands
Ninety Million Dollars.

The problem of removing the wa
ter from the flooded district of North
Holland has revived the project OF
drying the Zuider Zee, writes Com
mercial Attache Erwin w. Thomp-
son from The Hague, and a bill is
now before the Netherlands parlia-
ment for appropriating money for
this work. The cost is estimated at
ninety million dollars. The princi-
pal dam would be about fifteen miles
long, averaging twenty feet in height.
One of the most important re-
suits accruing from the drying of
the Zuider Zee would be that the
new dams would take the place of
the several hundred miles of dikes
that now protect the lowlands from
the Zuider Zee. Under present con-
ditions strong northwest wind tends
to blow the waters Of the North sea
into the Zuider Zee and to raise the
level of the latter until it sometimes
breaks over the protecting dikes and
mandates the low polders or mead
ows.
The flooded district in North Hol-
land, which has brought up the
Zuider Zee project, comprises forty
thousand acres. This territory is all
below sea level, and is protected
from the North sea by line of nat
ural sand dunes for most of the dis
tance, and along other stretches by
heavy dikes built largely of granite.
On the east side, however, the prov
ince is protected from the Zuider Zee
by line of earth embankments. The
January storm broke through these
embankments in several places and
inundated the country.
The provincial authorities are now
engaged in repairing these breaks in
the embankments or dikes, and as
soon as these are completed they will
begin pumping out the food water.
The arrangement of locks and
sfuices is such that at low tide in
the North sea, and sometimes in the
Zuider Zee, the water can be drained
out to certain level, but below that
it must be pumped. The average
height to which the water must be
lifted is only three to four feet, but
the total amount to be pumped ap-
proximates seven billion cubic feet.
There are many steam pumping
stations throughout the district,
which were destined primarily for
taking care of the regular rainfall in
the low districts and for pumping
water into the high level canals.
These pumps will be used to their
full capacity, but will necessarily
have to be supplemented by many
new ones.
If the bill for drying the Zuider
Zee is passed by the Netherlands
parliament, it is possible that Ameri-
can contractors may be called upon
to build the dams and do the pump
ing.

ICEBERG PATROL.
Steps Taken by United States tx
Guard Against Icebergs.

Ever since the Titanic disaster the
United States government has main
tanned an iceberg patrol. Revenue
cutters and scout cruisers of the reg
ular navy are employed in the work.
They patrol the Grand Banks for
about three months, beginning in
April or May. They even tried to
demolish icebergs by firing shells at
them and succeeded in smashing on
tons of ice at a time; although, OF
course, in the case of big icebergs 1t
is not practicable to destroy them
completely by gun fire. The patrol
boats chart all of the bergs sighted,
and report by wireless to the govern
ment their location, the direction In
which they are travelling and their
speed. The chief effort of the patrol
service at present is to discover the
most effective means of detecting the
presence of icebergs at night or in
fog, and the various expedients de-
vised are described in an article by
H. M. snevily in the June St. Nicho-
las. One of the greatest dangers of
icebergs hitherto, it is stated, has
been that little or no change in the
temperature of the air can be noted
in time to veer the ship aside, if she
is headed toward the berg at any
considerable speed.

HORSE MUST HAVE HIS BEER.
"Bulr' Steps Up to Bar and Whinnies
for Long, Cold One.

Hale and hearty at 25 and able to
do good days work despite his
fondness for beer is the record of
Bull, truck horse owned by the
Globe Brewery company, Hanover
street, near Barre.
For twenty years Bull has taken
his glass of beer at the bar kept by
the company at it's plant after COM
ing in from a days work. What is
more, he knows when he has had
enough. He drinks his beverage from
a glass, and after two or three glasses
he trots to his stall and nothing can
prevail upon him. to drink more.
The horse does not need to have
his keeper, Patrick J.. Feeney, ask
the man behind the bar for his
"drink," but walks up and whinnies
or paws the ground.
Bull also drinks while on. duty,
but this does not seem to have i'm
paired his efficiency to any great ex-
tent. His keeper says that when the
horse is delivering goods he will Of
ten stand in front of saloon of one
of the older customers and not bulge
until he has been given drink. Bull
has never been sick in all his twenty
years Of service at the Globe plant.
His former mate, Mike, did not i'm
bibe, and consequently, so it is said,
dropped dead on the street during a
hot spell.-Boston Sun.
