However, the present proceedings are for an accounting and examination of the records of the bank held at the in stance of S. L. Hardinger to ascertain his rights In the matter. GREAT AMERICAN TIN CAN Orer a Billion Turned Oat In sv Year and Vsed for Various Purposes. The American Can company Is manu facturing cans at the rate of 100.OHO.000 a month, or 1.200.0il0,ooo a year. This is an Increase in eight years of 6UU,000,tmO cans lu the annual output. This is a wonderful record when It Is lemombercd that previous to 1850 compara tively few cans were manufactured In this country. The civil war gave Impetus to the canning Industry, but even then with the great armies In the field It was not believed that much food could bo trusted to tin cans. In the decade after the war, however, experiments were mado In every direction, and meats, fruits, vege tables, fish and other American products went In cans to the remotest parts of the earth. At the beginning of the Spanish-American war, In lSS'S, there were 2,000 cunneries In the United States, which put up an nually $72,000,COO worth of canned goods. Most of the canned goods were consumed at homo, but the year before the war we sent abroad canned fruits to the value of $l,34f,281 and canned meats to the value of $2,000,000. Since 1892 we have been manufacturing our own tin plate. The production of tin and terne plates Increased from 42,119,000 pounds In 1892 to 894.411,000 pounds In 1901. This home manufacture of tin plates gave great Impetus to the manufacture of cans the bulk of the American tin plate product going to1 the: can manufacturers. Ingenuity and activity In canmaklng ran parallel with the Invention of new ma chlnery and new processes for the prepa ration of products for canning. Under new processes nearly every food used by families was put Into cans and became an article of merchandise. This led to spe cialized industries BUlted to the handling of products grown In particular neighbor hoods and to the exploiting of crops and fruits suited to canning. For example, about 3,000 fishing vessels and 25.000 fishermen, and 2,000 oyster boats with 20,000 men are employed on the At lantic coast by canning establishments, and the salmon canneries of the Pacific coast constitute one of our great Industries. The tin can has not only contributed to the comfort and convenience of the housekeeper at home and abroad, but It has led to a revolution In the growing of vegetables, great plantations being de voted to the growing of peas, beans, etc., to be canned trreen. The tin can has much to answer for, but It has almost eliminated the seasons from the consideration of the cook and has mado It possible to serve the most succulent of vegetables and the most de licious of fruits In the Ice fields of the north and the desert of Sahara.

A railroad wreck?" "You are looking." answered tho hlstolo glst, "at a pnrt of the remains of a Cey lonese caterpillar." He withdrew that slide and put another In Its place.

This dust looks, to the ordinary eye, like leaf frag ments. But under the microscope It looks, as you remarked, like an Insect railroad wreck or a pigmy battlefield.
