They were the first made in America

semer steel rails as a regular business
says an exchange. The first rails OF
this type were made and used In Eng
land. They were introduced into
America by the Pennsylvania railroad
which. In 1853, imported and put into
service 100 tons of steel rails. The
price paid was $3.50 gold per ton.
equivalent In Civil war times to 5000
in American currency. These rails
were made Of crucible steel and con-
tained high percentage of carbon
rendering them brittle. For this rea-

company placed orders for large guam
titles in Great Britain, paying fsom
$135 to $162.50 gold per ton.

INSECT PRODUCTS OF VALUE
Many Small Creatures Make contribu-
tions to the country's Wealth Of
No insignificant Amount.

We have many insect products of no
small value. Most familiar are honey
and wax from the bee.
There is also a Chinese bug which
secretes kind of grease on various
trees. This hardens into wax, and is
collected. melted and purified, when it
becomes white and glossy in appear
ance, and when mixed with Oil can be
made into candles. The cochineal,
scale insect living on cacti in the Amer
lean tropics, besides having medicinal
qualities, yields the two dyes called
carmine and lake. While nowadays
most dyes are chemically made, the
natural dye of the cochineal is en-
ployed in coloring soldiers uniforms,
as it stands the weather better than
commercial dyes. The pupae of Mex
lean black fly which swarms in great
quantities near Lake TeXcoa are used
as fertilizer. No enlargement is need
ed on the work of the precious silk
worm-a native of China which Is now
raised here also. Commercial shellac
is obtained by melting lac, the resinous
substance produced by an East Indian
scale insect and deposited in crust
on twigs to contain the insect and its
eggs. The export value of lac from
Indian ports in one year has risen as
high as 100000 rupees. Lac has also
been used to make dyes, but while the
lac industry is growing one, the en-
ployment of lac in making dyes has
probably had its day. The best lac is
obtained from Bengal and the central
province of India. 1t is also used as
stiffening for hats, sealing wat, as an
ingredient of photographic ink, in elec-
trical work and in the manufacture of
gramophone records.

1t is at the lantern festival, the 18th

lanterns are everywhere, at the doors

also placed above the doors, and there
is an abundance of 'moon cakes" lit

The boys dress up in all sorts of fan

Resculnu Fish.

The rescue Of fish is one of the ac-
uvtties Of the bureau Of fisheries. It
IL an important work, but the nature
and importance Of 1t are little under
stood by persons outside Of the regions
In which 1t Is carried on. While the
bureau conserves fish, propagates ant
distributes fish and labors to educate
mankind on the subject of fish. 1t also
rescues FISH. In times of flood, when
streams and rivers swell beyond their
banks and overflow wide stretches OF
land. myriads Of valuable food fish are
carried along with the water. The
food passes. the rivers subside into
their normal courses and the fish are
left inland to perish as the fiood-watey
evaporates or seeps into the land.
Gangs of men under the guidance of
the fisheries bureau gather the fish
from these overflow lakes, which are
often of great extent, and cast them
loose In the streams or rivers.

ENDS ONE NOISE OF CITIES
invention Of Philadelphia Man Does
Away With Racket When Cars
Cross Intersection.

The problem of suppressing the
noise and shock of the street car in
passing over an intersection has been
attacked in a novel manner by a Phil.
adelphia inventor, Samuel B. Meeker
who accomplishes the object without
the use Of any Of the moving and In.
terlocking parts which characterize
most Of the inventions for this pur.
pose. and without making any great
changes In the design of the crossing
itself. The latter Is constructed in
one piece or unit. and at point slight
Y IN advance OF the intersection OF the
Kail sections.
Each rail section is formed with the
face Of the rail cut away In an incline
which allows the weight of the vehicle
to pass from the base of the wheel to
the f1ange on which 1t continues for n
few feet, until the wheels have passed
entirely over the intersection, when the
weight of the car again passes to the
base Of the wheel. This change is SO
gradually accomplished that 1t is not
noticeable to the passengers end the
car passes over the crossing without
jolt or noise. The latter is q matter
of great Importance to persons living
In the vicinity Of such intersections,
for the pounding of the cars over them
at night comprises a serious annoy
ance
