The Grant Monument.

The monument to General Grant in
front of the capitol in Washington
was contracted for on August 10, 1903.
The contract provided that the work
should be completed in five years, but
the contractors asked, and were grant
ed, several extensions. All of the ar
chitectural work is finished, the cav
airy and the artillery groups are in
position at either end of the platform,
the lions and lamps called for by the
design are in place and there remains
to complete the memorial only the
placing of the equestrian group, !. e.,
the figure of General Grant on horse
back on the central pedestal, and at
fixing the two bas reliefs which are to
90 on either side of the pedestal. The
total cost authorized by congress for
the memorial is $24O,OOO, exclusive Of
$4,000 which was appropriated for use
in procuring designs.

NOTHING WASTED BY CHINESE
FIowery Kingdoms Farmers Even Utl-
Iize the Prolific Weeds for Fer
tiIizer and Fuel.

Nothing goes to waste on the Chi
cording to the farmers ideas, there
are good weeds and bad weeds, states
q writer. The good weeds are put
into compost heaps and return fertili-
cation to the soil. The coarse weeds
with woody stems which will not cas-
lily rot are cut down and allowed to
dry until the son Of the family has
time to rake them up for use as winter
fuel.
Nowhere as in China do the dead
rob the living. Millions Of graves are
scattered over the fields, their lOca-
ton directed by the complicated rules
of feng shut. In some sections OF the
country more than One-sixth of the TIL
liable area is covered with graves Of
estimable but now useless ancestors,
and sometimes when young man
falls heir to farm he finds that it is
a farm full Of graves, and his biggest
crop is a crop Of duty to dead and
half-fOrgOtten ancestors.
Chinese women didn't wait for the
outbreak of war to put on trousers
and volunteer for work in the fields.
They have been wearing trousers for
many centuries and for many more
they have been helping the beans and
potatoes to do their bit for their
country. The Chinese sages have had
a great deal to say about the inferior
ity Of woman, but when it comes to
digging in the fields the Chinese wom-
an is equal to any man.

Rubber in India.

In southern India a factory at which
high grade rubber is made resembles
dairy, the milklike appearance of the
latex adding to this illusion, as well
as the precautions taken to insure alb
soiute cleanliness, says the Family
Herald. One of two methods of manu-
facture is generally adopted. If the
estate is young and only few trees
are being tapped the rubber is made
in the form of biscuits or sheets. The
latex is put into shallow, round dishes
or oblong pans and certain quantity
Of acetic acid added to it. This Is
the coagulating agent most generally
used. After standing for some hours
the rubber is found floating on the top
Of the dish in white, spougy clot.
This is removed and washed and rolled
by hand and through a mangle until
clean. The biscuits are placed on racks
| in warm room or an artificial dryer
and allowed to remain there until dry.
The finished biscuits are pale amber
colored and transparent, and for this
reason are popular on the market,
for their purity and freedom from dirt
can be judged by holding them to the
light and looking through them.

German Silver.

German silver is manufactured In
three general ways, according to Pop
ular Science Monthly. 1t is composed
of nickel, copper and zinc in varying
proportions. The German method is
to melt all the copper to be used in
the mixture, and two-thirds of the
nickel and zinc in q graphite crucible
and then add the rest of the nickel
and zinc. In the English method the
copper, nickel and zinc are melted
all at one time, then more copper and
zinc are added. Should the metal ap-
pear porous, fireclay pipe contain
ing pitch is pushed into the metal mix
ture to deoxidize it. There are sew
eral American methods. One is to melt
a copper-nickel alloy and then grad
ually add the preheated zinc. In an
other method mOnel metal is used as
a base.

HUMPBACKED MEN IN DEMAND
Affiiction Proved Qualification Where
Strange and Successful Expert
ment Was Tried in Factory.

An unusual advertisement appeared
in a Chicago paper recently, desiring
the services of five humpbacked men.
The explanation Of this strange want
is even more interesting than the an
nouncement, says Popular Mechanics
Magazine.
1t seems that q large envelope fac
tory, unable to fill it's orders, decided
to work nights as well as days. Long
experience had demonstrated that in
the use of certain machines women
were better operators than men by
reason of their hands being more deli
cate and nimble.
The owner does not believe in fac
tory work at night for women, and the
men proved clumsy and slow. 1t was
then he set about to seek men who
were well but physically incapable of
heavy work He decided that hump
backs had the necessary qualifications
OF more agile and sensitive touch, and
an actual test proved such to be the
fact. Hence the advertisement.

The box should be divided by par

Ball VS., Roller Bearings.

Ball bearings are German inven-
ton, and it is only a few years ago
that they made their appearance on
the market Roller bearings, both CYL
Indrical and conical, are an American
invention. The advantages claimed for
the rollers over the balls are that they
can sustain both the radlal and the
axial strain and they are more easily
replaced when they become worn.

cent per hour. She had saved him

The oldest nations invariably have
the most philosophers and learned
