THERE is wonderful clock in

the hour, minute and second of San

one feet high, and Is considered by
many to be the largest and best-builR
street clock anywhere in the United

The master clock is inclosed in
plate glass at the bottom of the ped

Old Question of Pins.

THAT time-worn and stili unsn-
l. swered question, What becomes
OF all the old pins2" seems to be in
fair way of being answered in New
YORK city at least for a company has
been formed for the purpose OF re-
finishing used pins and restoring
them to their original newness. Nor
that representatives of the compsny
are to patrol the streets gathering M
discarded pins. but 1t is said that in
some of the large dresEmaking estah-
ilshments the pin bill sometimes
reaches as high as $500 annually.
Used only once, the pins are removed 4,
and allowed 10 drop on the floor
where they are swept away Even
II gathered up at the close OF the
day. the pins are too dirty to be used
again on fine fabrics. The COMPANY
mentioned purposes to effect a saving
In the pin item by taking all the
USED pens, cleaning and refnishine
them.
More than a year of experiments
ton was necessary in order to dis.
cover a process for satisfactorily re-
nnishing the pins. AT first 1t was
thought that If the pins simply were
gathered by means OF a magnet in
stead of sweeping, they could be used
again without refinishing, but even
then 1t was found that the pins re-
tanned enough of the foor dust to
SOIL white fabrics and make their
use improbable. A process waz
nnally discovered. however, whereby
the refnished pins can be return1d
to the users at half the cost of the
new product and still the rehntshine
company will be enabled to make a
fair working profit.
