decided disadvantage. Most of the
glue is made from what is known in
the trade as hide pieces, f1eshings or
bones. Various portions of the hides
which the leather man does not use
are trimmed off by the tanner before
the hide is tanned, and these portions
go to the glue manufacturer. Accord
ing to the Fart of the hide from which
they come and according to the
method of taking them off, they
are called pieces of fleshings or
trimmings or skivings. The best quail
ity of glue comes from such pieces
as are taken from the best quality
of hides.
Knuckles and jaw bones also furnish
raw material for large proportion of
the glue product. A very high grade
of glue is also made from a kind of
bone called "dentelles," which is moth
ing more or less than the flat bone
which is left after coat buttons are
punched out, and 1t, of course, is full
of holes. The higher the grade of
glue which it is desired to make, the
more care must be taken in selecting
the raw material and in the process of
manufacture.
The glue which comes from fish is
an entirely different article from that
which comes from cattle hides or
bones. 1t is almost invariably in
liquid form, and while it has distinct
advantages for certain uses, it will
not in every instance do the work that
the cattle glue will do.

LITTLE KNOWN INDUSTRY.

A BOUT one-twelfth of all the glue
produced Is made in New England.
The first glue manufactured in Amer
lea, SO far as the records show, was
made in 1903 in little factory in a
town called South Danvers, a part of
Salem, Mass, the name of which has
been changed to Peabody. From this
small beginning the industry has
grown to great proportions. There
are some ten glue factories in the New
England States and perhaps about
four times as many throughout the
United States. The estimated annual
about 120,000,000 pounds. The esti-
mated consumption of glue per capita
Is about three pounds.
Glue is so generally used that it Is
very hard to specify it's uses in detail,
but it would be difficult to find a wood
en- or leather article of daily use in
which glue Is not in some way a com.
ponent part. A mere mention of a few
of these uses would be in furniture of
all kinds. cushions, carpets, woodwork,
boxes, cars, bags, paper, mouldings,
paint, shoes and leather articles. Carts,
wagons, utomobiles-even airplanes-
are made partly of glue. The most
wonderful work of the greatest
geniuses in painting receive the admi-
ration of humanity through the ages
comfortably established in frames in
which glue plays an important part.
Glue is never absent from the daily
life of civilized man.
Glue is not generally made from the
feet or hoofs of cattle, in spite Of the
popular notion to that effect. AS a
matter of fact. while glue can be
made from the feet or hoofs, the quail
ity of such glue is so poor as COM
pared with glue made from other ma
terial that the feet and hoofs are at a

will be placed on the sound basis Of
complete and accurate statistics.
'In the matter of the design of
structures, every city that has an
organization for the discussion of
major disasters should see that its
building codes are sufficiently rigid
to meet the requirements according
to the probabilities of the regions con-
cerned. In earthquake regions spe.
cial structures should be built and
tested. Experiments along this line
are being made in Japan at the pres
ent time.

risk Is known, instruments to record
stress should be placed in selected
buildings and left there until an

quakes we'll, and these should be test
ed on apparatus designed to give the
stresses in an earthquake, and ma
terials which are found not to be
capable of standing earthquakes
should not be permitted in earthquake
regions. Not only are the insurance
companies in need Of accurate earth
quake information, but the public
also, in order that the States may
have adequate control with full
knowledge"
Government scientists broach the
theory that it might not be impos-
sible to secure pictures Of an actual
earthquake in operation. A motion
picture machine might be connected
with seismograph. The difficulty
of course would be to find a place
which would remain solid enough on
which to rest the camera. A con-
crete block set in resilient and at
the same time resistant material,
might do the trick, but no one can
predict at this time whether or not
the results would be worth while.
The real adventure in the great
science of seismology lies in it's un-
certainty. Like the fisherman trying
out a new anglers paradise, the
seismologist never knows what he's
going to catch. Something new may
be just around the corner. 1t is by

Age of a Fresh Egg.

| A T an international congress held
in Geneva in 1923 it was pro.
posed to divide eggs into three distinct
classes under three separate defini-
tions-the fresh egg. the commercial
egg and the preserved egg.
| The fresh egg was defined as one
that had not been subjected to any
means of preservation and that showed
no trace of decomposition or alteration
when candled. The egg was "com-
/ mercial" when it was not in any de-
gree decomposed or altered. The pre-.
served egg was one that had been pro-
tected from decomposition by some
harmless means.
This official definition is peculiar be-
cause it fixes no age limit. Under the
definition vender is permitted to sell
as fresh" eggs of indefinite age as
! long as they show no alteration from
their first state when expertly candled.
| But, despite the delusion entertained
in some quarters, there is time when
an egg ceases to be fresh even II
Gambling by an expert shows in 1t no
alteration from its first condition. The
e--lct moment Is not easy to deter
mine. The discussions before the
| congress proved that an egg .a..s
about one gram in weight each day.
When eggs are packed in such a way
that they are not exposed to heat,
humidity or other bad conditions of
travel if they hold the alimentary
qualities of a new-laid egg when they
are unpacked and candled they are
called fresh"
The "new-laid egg" was defined by
the congressional commission as an
"egg freshly laid" This definition was
discussed by the commission and a
member suggested the adoption of
time limit not to exceed from five to
six days as the period Of freshness Of
a "new-laid egg" Another member
suggested Ill days as the limit.
It was decided by the congress that
it would be difficult to fix the limit, be-
cause in the case Of an egg everything
depends upon local conditions: the pc
riods Of time required for packing and
starting the produce on its journey to
market, the time consumed in passing
the produce from the railroad or other
line Of traffic to the wholesale dealer
and the time consumed in delivering
the produce to the retail dealer, con.
sumer, etc.-in all at least six days.

| Justice Barthou. All the claims OF
innocence, all the strings that had
been pulled for IA years. all the politi
cal power of the denizens of the un.
derworld were brought into play-and
again Dieudonne scored a victory.
Barthou not only announced that he
would pardon Dieudonne if he waived
extradition but ordered the Pernam-
buco police to release him.
So Dieudonne is to return to Paris,
thrice victor over the law, where he
will be the only surviving member of
the gang that made the very marrow
in the bones of Parisians freeze in the
hectic period Of 1911-12.

ace Of Justice been so we'll fortified
as it was throughout the "a days from
February to February 27, 1913. when
Dieudonne, as the leader, and Fl other
apaches were on trial.
Although only seven of the prisoners
had police records, the prefect of po-
lice was confident they were guilty Of
the long list of crimes perpetrated by
the GARNER apaches. In the
pocket Of Bonnott had been found a
letter containing the list Of the leaders
of his gang. as we'll as the ordinary
members. Dieudonne was named as
one Of the higher-ups. That NJ. Le-
pine had not made many mistakes in
the roundup of the apaches was
borne out in the verdict. The trial
was presided over by Judge Couinard
and 304 witnesses testified. Each
talesman who qualified for the jury
answered 557 questions. And each
and every prisoner pleaded not guilty.
The jury found 1S Of the % guilty,
and four of these were sentenced to
death-Dieudonne, accused of shoot
ing a bank messenger in the Rue
Ordener; Callemin, alias Raymond Ia
Science. accused Of killing a police
man; Soudy, one of the participants
in the Chantilly bank outrage, and
Monier, alias Simentoff, accused of
playing prominent part in the For
est of Senart murders.
Penal servitude for life was imposed

farewell to his friends and prepared to

leaders of the gang. All hope seemed
futile, but the Apache is tenacious
and Dieudonne lodged the guillotine.
But though the Apaches have pull
much the same as the gangsters of
Chicago, they were unable to rescue
their friend from Cayenne. So their
friend decided to act for himself.
Escapes from Devils Island, while
not infrequent, seldom are completely
successful. An outstanding one was
that Of Eddie Guerin, the Chicago
crook. who escaped and made his way
to London, only to be killed later in a
shooting affray over a woman. And,
according to Dieudonne at the time
OF his trial, it was because of a woman

became one of the most bloodthirsty
of that band.
After 13 years in Cayenne, Deu-
donne, although allowed no liberties,
broke loose, only to be caught one
month later almost dead from hunger
and thirst. But that first attempt
had taught him so much that when
few days before Christmas in 1925 his
long planned break was put into exc

the cover Of night with six compan-
