WITHOUT NAILS OR .RlVETS
New Scientific Method OF shiRbUildIna,
Seen In Construction Of Vessel
at Liverpool.

Can you imagine q ship without a
nail or rivet in all its hull? Do you
recollect the visit to the shipyards and
the army Of men mailing huge tinbers
to the skeleton frame of ship? And,
over In the next yard, the swarm Of
men hammering the white hot rivets
In the great plates of a battle ship?
Ones Imagination is stretched consid-
erably to cOnjure a method by which
all these workmen may have their
toll reduced or eliminated. Yet this
is today's development in the science
Of shlpbuilding. The steamship Fulla-
gar has just slid down the Liverpool
ways without a nail or a rivet in it's
hull. From stem to stern the plates
are electrically welded. The Fullagar
is an oil driven cargo steamer of 500
tons. She is now undergoing final
tests. Experts declare that she will
not only stand all the tests required,
but her success as an ocean carrier
will revolutionize shipping. We may
now calculate what a boon the cleo
trical welding process will be If great
armies Of men have to be transported
on the bridge across the SEAS" Not
only does this method release man
power for other tasks, but 1t enables
shipyards to turn out mighty steel
ships within short space of time.

COULD USE TOMATO SEEDS
Department Of Agriculture Points Out
How They May Be Made
Source of Revenue.

That much valuable material is be-
ing wasted annually by throwing away
tomato seeds extracted in pulping,
soup, catsup and canning plants is in.
dlcated 81 inTestg cations made by the
United States Department of Agricul,
ture. ..s,,,.,v,z-r.,-4zyFsS
Department investigators have found
that more than one thousand tons Of
seed are thrown away annually In
northern tomato-pulping plants. with
large enough output Of seed to pay for
shipping, and that they may be made
into edible oil and stock food worth
about $4,000 December, 1919. Cost
Of collecting and preparing the seed
is estimated at about $35, 900, including
all proper charges, and the cost Of the
necessary equipment is given at not
to exceed $4,000.
In addition the same plant, which
would run not more than five months
in the year, could be used for the han
ding of grape seeds and pumpkin
seeds, which would distribute the over
head and cut down the cost of manu-
facture Of the tomato-seed products.

ROYAL PERSON WELL CARRIED
Augustus of Poland Had Clothes Suf-
fieient for Regiment-Also Had
Other Idiosyncrasies.


Gentlemen of fashion today are mere
paupers when 1t comes to attire, as
compared to what King Augustus III
Of Poland deemed necessary to his
comfort. He filed tw1 great halls with
clothes and had a special watch, snun
box, sword and cane for every one Of
his hundreds Of suits. To 60 with
them he also had 1900 wigs. Five ar
lists were kept busy painting minia-
lures of the clothing and keeping these
paintings in a catalOg that the king
might select from each day as he
rose.
He took the lovely countess of
Cozelle as his wife, and the mere fact
that she had a husband already mat
tered little. He appeared at her door
one day with horseshoe in one hand
and a bag of 100000 crowns in the
other. The gold he tossed at her feet
to demonstrate his wealth and gener-
Gus instincts, and the horseshoe he
broke with his bare hands to demon
strate his strength and determination.
The lady, impressed, got rid of her hus-
band at once, obtaining a divorce of
the sort that allowed of remarriage.
Suspicious historians have limited that
the horseshoe might have been filed a
bit before the kingly hand tore 1t
apart.

RACE SOON TO BE EXTINCT
F-'iIs In Wake Of Civilization Have
speIt Doom to the PoIynesians
1t Of South Seas. snssa, =


That modern civilization is bringing
death and determination to the splen-
did race known as the Polynesian, is
the claim of all travellers who have
spent time on the beautiful southern
Pacific islands. Charles Bernard
Nordhof, In the Atlantic Monthly, in
Borrowing over this says:
"To say that Christianity was their
undoing would be absurd; they died
and are dying under the encroach-
ments of the European civilization Of
which Christianity was the forerun-
ner. Everywhere in the South seas
the story has been the same, whether
told by Stevenson, or Melville, or
Louis Becke. We brought them dis
ease; we brought them cotton cloth
ing (almost as great a curse); we sup
pressed the sports and merriment and
petty wars which enabled the old
islanders to maintain their interest in
life. And lastly, we brought them an
alien code Of morals, which succeeded
chiefly in making hypocrites of the
men whose souls it was designed n
save. Today there is nothing L. bn
said, nothing to be done-the Polvn~
sian race will soon be only a E.eu-
Ory."

New Method of Identification.

Not only are the finger prints Of ev-
cry human being different but the po-
sition of the bones Of the fingers, and
also the shape of the nails are differ
ent. Doctor Beclere, a well-known stu
dent of photography, utilities this fact
in a new method for identifying crimi-
nails. The method consists in making
an X-ray photograph Of the hand,
showing the bones and the fingernails.
Ordinarily such a photograph would
not show the flesh, but in order that
the record may be complete the fingers
are soaked in an Opaque salt, by
means of which all the lines and marks
are clearly shown. Doctor Beclere
considers that the possibility afforded
by his discovery Of keeping a record
of nails as we'll as of finger prints
should prove of the greatest use in
identifying criminals.

Old American Glass.

The Pennsylvania museum announces
a find of old American glass. One
thousand specimens have been dug up
near Alloway, N. ]. The field where
the specimens were found was once
the site of the old Wistar Glass works,
founded nearly two hundred years ago
by Caspar Wistar, who was of Aus
trian extraction and titled.
The specimens found were for the
most part fragments of bottle and
window glass, of which there have not
been many specimens until now. The
museum is now making a study of the
types of glass that were produced in
the early days of Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The first glass to be man.
ufactured in this country was that of
a Virginia company located at James
town, but the first produced success
fully was that of Alloway, then known
as Wistarburg.

TWosSWORD MEN OF JAPAN
With Their pisbandIns, Comparatively
Few Years Ago, the Secret Of
BlademakinQ Disappeared.

As late as 1858 there were some
100000 crossword men in japan, high
" trained fighters attached to the
mobiles of the land in bands ranging
from two or three, to an entire army.
When the revolution came the work
Of the crossword men was done, the
nation was made into a solid unit and
the strength of the blade carriers was
needed at plOw and bench.
With this disbanding, an exchange
explains, the trade of the swordmaker
was also lost to the vast number fol-
lowing it, and with them, as the years
passed, died the secrets Of the war
rior tools. Swords can be obtained in
Japan today whose blades are so keen
they can cut through a veil or a sofa
cushion, and also can be driven
through a bar of iron, provided the
wielder has the strength. Others have
blades covered with a beautiful and
intricate tracery that disappears and
reappears at odd times, and no one
can solve the "why" Of It, One mo-
ment the blade is as smooth and un-
marked as a mirror and the next the
design leaps out before the eye Of the
startled beholder and can even be felt
by sensitive fingers. Yet other blades
are colored red, blue, silver or gold,
and while seemingly an alloy, a chem
zeal analysis shows nothing but steel.
Yet others are coated with a poison
that is unseen, but beyond all other
poisons deadly. In large part 1t con-

SUNDAY HALF A CENTURY AGO.
Spirit and Letter Of Commandments
Both Thoroughly obeyed In
Western New York.

Ny mother was born and reared in
a little country Village in western New
York. On the farm where my grand
mother lived It was the custom to be-
gin Sunday on Saturday night at sun
down. The "hired man" came In from
the chores, grandmother put away all
her work in the kitchen, and then the
entire family gathered In the "best
room" and studied the Sunday-school
lesson, or had a reading from the
Bible, led by grandfather, and all the
family retired not later than O'Clock.
In the morning, after doing none
but the absolutely necessary chores on
the farm, the team that had not been
used the day before was hitched up to
the big four-seated wagon and the en-
tire family including the "hired" help.
went to church. There was preaching
service in the forenoon, and then we
adjourned to a lunch for ourselves
and the team. Then we went in to a
Sunday-school service, and after an in
terval there was another preaching
service, after which we hitched up
and drove slowly back to the farm.
That was the way Sunday was kept
In western New York q little more
than 80 years ago. I can remember
hearing my mother say that when she
was a girl in this same New York
state village, she was not allowed to
walk except to the cemetery and back,
on Sunday, and was not allowed to
read any books except the Bible and
"Fox's Book of Martyrs. Christian
