Chance for Small
Manufacturing is Certain
Cities of This Country.
Under the captain of "A Remedy for
Freight Congestion" the Wall Street
Journal, the leading financial publica-
tion of the country, discusses the trerd
of manufacturing toward the smaller
cities and gives the soundest and most
compelling reasons for that movement
jarticularly in the establishment of
new factories in the general expansion
of business. The Journal says:
"Whether we need more railroads or
not, one thing is certain, namely, that
the enormous cost of enlarging terminal
facilities in great cities and of handl
ing freight under any of the known
methods of carriage at these points is
becoming so great as to force a reform
in the modern methods of terminal dis
tributlon. One plan is the construction ;
of elevated roads above grade so as not
to interfere with traffic and travel on '
Btreet level?. The other plan is to tun- j
nel underneath the city so that the ,
consignee n.ay have his freight deliver-,
ed on his elevator platform and lifted
to whatever story of his establishment
he may wich. This is what the Chicago
Subway is doing for merchandise, which
has to find its way into the center of
the city.
"But can manufacturing stand this
expense? Is not the price of land and
the cost of handling materials and pro
ducts gradually crowding manufactur
ing industries out of the more expensive
real estate areas and forcing them not
only to the suburbs but beyond? The
virtual breakdown of terminal distri
bution of freight on the part of rail
roads is having the effect of forcing not
a few manufacturing plants not only to
the suburbs, but to locate well out in
the country, where the Bmall town may
develop as a manufacturing center,
without any of the annoyances of hav
ing to fight first to get freight into a
city and then get it out.
"This development is a most natural
one. The main thing that has kept it
from making great strides has been the
unwillingness of railroads to give local
points on their lines an equal shipping

Description of Prehistoric Method of
Obtaining Water Supply.
One of the prehistoric methods used
In securing a water supply in sections
where it was Impossible to secure it
from natural sources, or where It be
came necessary to live on elevated
territory for defense was by the con
st met Ion of dew ponds. These dew
ponds were made by hollowing out
the earth for a space far in excess of
the apparent requirements of such a
pond, then thickly covering the whole
of the hollow with a coating of straw.
The straw in Its turn was covered by
a layer of well chosen, finely pud
dled clay, and the upper surface of
the clay closely strewn with stones.
Such a pond will gradually become
filled with water, the more rapidly the
larger tt is, even though no rain may
ran. During tne warnitnor a summer
day the earth will store a considerable
amount of heat, while the pond, pro
tected from the heat by the noncon
ductlvlty of the straw, Is at the same
time chilled by the process of evapora
tion from the puddled clay. The con
sequence Is that during the night the
moisture of the comparatively warm
alr '8 C(,ndensed on the surface of the
cold clay. As tne condensation during
the nights is In excess of the evapora
tion during the day, the pond becomes, '
night by night, gradually filled. Popu

Cities to Grow
to Drift to the Smaller
rate with those allowed to manufactur
ers at competitive centers. The main
tenance of local freight rates, to tome
thing short of tearing up the industry
by its roots and forcing it to move bag
and bagguge to the competitive center,
had done more thiin any other force to
intensify the traffic conditions in cities
with which railroading is now suffer
ing. "Unless the new interstate law gov
erning railway rates proves to fall far
short of what is expected of it, we may
reasonably hope that the era of the
small town as a manufacturing unit has
come to stay. Some of these towns
win grow up as small cells adjacent to
the irreat municipal organisms, which
threw them on. But the isolated small
town with an individuality oi us own
1,8 n industrial center has a future
ahead of it, because it can grow freely,
unhindered by the things that hamper
industry in a large city. The building
ot Gary well out from Chicago'- is an
1 illustration of the selection ot locality
with a view to take advantage of isola
tion on the one hand and first rate com
munication on the other hand.
"Among the remedies for car short
age, none will probably play a larger
part in the future than the removal of
manufacturing plants from congested
centers. Plants already ettablishtd
may be slow to fold their tents, but
new capital is not going to make the
mistake of putting its head into a noose
by location in large cities where rail
way facilities have practically reached
their limits. As beginnings are made
in this direction, the locality with a
population from 1,000 to 50,000 people
will in due time demonstrate its superi
ority for the investment of millions
that are awaiting to be launched in
profitable enterprises. It will be found,
a) the social and econotnic phases of
the question are studied, that the
standard of welfare of the men, women
and children can be maintained at
much higher level for the mass of the
population than i3 possible in a city of
highest rank."

These strips, he said, had a tendency

which the oxen walked while plowing
the ground. An Instance of that was
seen In the curious way in which
Longacre curved. Several of the
strips abutted at right angles on Hyde

the singular Irregularity of the line

Napoleon I. Had Ccctly Coronation
Robe and Throne.
An old I'ailslan Mini which (leafs In
embroideries am supplied artistic
needlework to the court of Louis XV!
Is still in possession of the accounts
of former centuries, and an Inspection
of these books reveals some Interest
ing facts. Napoleon I. was economical
as compared with the Kmpress Jose
phine, but his bills were conslder.tlile.
The einlnobleiy on his coronation
robe cost 10,r00 fi sties, and an etn
broldeied coat cost 3,!i00. Thlt coat
became too small for him nfter h bad
worn It a year, and he ordered pie
if cloth to he inserted at the seam
and covered Willi embroidery.
The bill for'Hie lrt Napoleon's
throne amounted to 63,970 francs.
The outer di apery of purple velvet
trimmed with gold lace cost I0.I0O
francs. The red velvet panels were
strewn with embroidered golden bees
at five francs apiece. The Inner
irapery of blue satin, with gold lace,
was 9,600 I'ranes, and the gold em
broidered stripes for the Inner trim
ming cost H.fiOO francs. The em
broidery on the blue velvet rushion
cost 3,020 francs, and the foot cushion
1,200. In addition there were .1.0T.O
bees embroidered on the panels ot Ibo
canopy at a cost of 6.2f0 francs.
During Gun Firing.
The Itrlllsli admiralty has given at
tention to the question of ear prutec
tlon during heavy gun firing, and it
has been decided to use plasticine,
with the addition of cotton wool, but
the form of ear protection to Ih uned
Is to be left to the Individual choice of
officers and men. Plasticine may be
supplied to ships and gunnery Kchools
It specially demanded. The additiou of
50 to CO grains of cotton wool baa
been recommended to Insure rfoct
safety. It Is pointed out that the cost
of the material Is very small and Its
use is often desirable.
