QuickIime Aided Wreckers.


The tremendous expansive force of
quicklime was lately used effectively
in breaking up brick masonry. 1t was
necessary to remove three foundation
piers, each IL by 20 feet in area and
12 feet high, and similar piers SUPPORT
ing working engines on each side pre-
vented blasting. Cutting and breaking
up by hand being too slow and expen-
sive, the new method was tried. Yer
tical holes three inches across and
three feet deep were bored three feet
apart in both directions. and were
filled to within SIX inches Of the top
with fresh-slacked lime. The holes
over the wet lime being closed with
well-tamped brick dust. cracks started
in ten minutes, soon breaking the pier
tops into three-foot cubes.

Japanese IndustriaIism.

This move Of the population from
the maple-clnd hills and rfcefields OF
beautiful Japan to the crowded quar-
ters~ low resorts and inhuman fac
tories Of the cities Is lowering the phys
ical efficiency. the mental horizon and
the moral standing Of the people. Tu-
berculosis is taking Its toll from fren-
zied industrialism. A prominent 7. N.
G. A. worker, Mr.. J. Merle Davis.
whose study Of the social problems OF
an increasing urban population In ia
pan has been thorough, says that an
expert in factory conditions makes
the statement that often one-half Of
the girls employed in certain mills be-
come depraved within a year after en-
tering the mills. They lose their
health soon after. 80 that the price of
a broader commerce and a sun flag in
every port Is being paid by weak wom-
anhood and hollow-chested men.-The
Christian Herald.

Locating Piping.

Piping. such as is made use Of for con-
ducting air, water. steam or hot water,
IL frequently buried In the wall, with
nothing to indicate its presence. 20 that
when repairs are necessary 1t Is often
a difficult matter to ascertain the l0ca-
tion Of these conduits. Very often this
Is accomplished only by tearing out the
plaster and doing considerable damage
to the property. A recently patented
electric method for locating the pipes
is simply special application Of the
ell-known induction balance principle.
A convenient apparatus is made up.
consisting Of two sets Of coils placed
on ends Of a magnet bar. One set OF
coils receives alternating or vibratory
current from suitable source, and the
other coils are connected to a tele-
phone. The balance Is first established
so that no sound is heard In the tele-
phone. When the device comes near
the metal piping this disturbs the bal
ance and q sound is heard. 1t Is thus
an easy matter to find the exact posi-
ton Of the pipes and to reach oen
with less damage to the wall.

Japan Becoming Modern.


The presence Of the imperial family
and the court in Tokyo makes the city
far more conservative than those Of
the provinces. Automobile owners in
Tokyo lag behind the rugged farmers
Of the Hokkaido In progress, and Tokyo
will wait for hours to use streets over
which the emperor is to pass. This
willingness to suspend business on such
occasions Is lessening, and officials are
making these ceremonies less burden
some than formerly, when whole dis
tricts Of a modern city were tied up
simply because the emperor was re-
turning from his summer palace In
