(Standard Oil Company.
Nowhere does the policy of economy
Winirlh lfr. Rockefeller has worked out
Show better than in one of the
6ltaadard canning works. Several
months ago the writer visited the
largeet of the Standard can factories,
the Devote, on the East River, Long
Island City. ft has a capacity of 70,-
000 five -gallon cans a day, and is
probably the largest can factory in
the world.
The Sive-gallon can turned out at
the Devoe is a marvel of evolution.
The present methods of manufacture
are almost entirely the work of Mr.
Herbert Miller, known in Standard
circles as the "father of the five -gal-
lon can." The machinery for making
tire can has been so developed that
While, in 1865, when Dir. Miller be-
gan his work, one man and a boy
soldered 850 cans in a day, in 1880
three men made 8,000, and since 1893
three men have made 24,000. It is an
actual fact that a tin can is made
by Miller in just the same time it
takes to walk from the point in the
factory where the sheets of tin are
unloaded to the point where the fin-
islled article is filled with oil.
And here is a nice point in combi-
nation. Not far away from the can-
ning works, on Newtown Creek, is an
oil refinery. This oil runs to the can-
ning works, and, as the new -made
cans come down by a chute from
the works above, where they have
just been finished, they are filled,
12 at a time, with the oil made a
few miles away. The cans are placed
at once in wooden boxes standing
ready, and, after a. 21 -hour wait
for discoverin ; leaks, are nailed up
and carried to a nearby door. This
door opens on the river, and there
at anchor by the ,side of the factory
is a vessel chartered for South Am-
erica or China or where not—wait-
ing to receive the cans which a little
more than 21 hours before were tin
sheets lying in flat boxes. It is a
marvelous example of economy, not
only in materiels but in time and
footsteps.—Ida M. Tarbell in Me -

Lost for a Century.
A bottle, which was hermetically,
.sealed, was recently found floating
on the water near the Island of
Carpathos. When it was opened the
following remarkable letter was dis-
covered in it :
"29, 11, 1702.
'Latitude 49, Eastern longitude 524.x.
"His Majesty's vessel Clown.
"May God help us. We are on a raft
in the middle of the ocean and have
neither water nor food. We have al-
ready eaten one man ,and after a
bitter quarrel we have now decided
to draw lots in order to decide which
of us is to by eaten next. We are
all like lunatics. Our vessel was
wrecked on November 1st, 1702, and
and she went to the bottom so quick-
ly, that we had only time to put a
very small quantity of water and
food on the raft. The captain's wife
cooked her little dog and after eat -
it became insane and committed sui-
cide.

Obituary of :Napoleon.
When the great Napoleon died there
were doubtless among the readers of
the London Globe, many persons
who would have liked to read a full
account o1 his life, but, 1 so, they
were disappointed, for the Globe, in
its issue of July 4th, 1821, contained
only the following brief notice :
"Death of Bonaparte. We announce
the death of Bonaparte. The official
announcement was received this
morning at the Admiralty. His death
took place on June 5th. His health
had been declining for a long time,
and the cause of death was a can-
cer in the ,stomach. Ile was born in
1769. The cost of his maintenance
at Saint Helena was each year be-
tween two n.nd three hundred thou-
sand pounds."

His hair was like a cloud bank,

And then he'd laugh to kill him-

The veryword "toast" shows that
neither wine nor water is the exact

to be an invariable addition to the
punchbowl. By a simple connection

the act of pledging came to be

A Scotch "Kitchen Shower."
A correspondent describes a "kit-
chea shower" given the other day at
a wedding near Glasgow. Every guest
was requested to bring a gift for
the kitchen of the future home, and,
as there was about fifty guests, the
shower represented a nice collection
of useful presents. The harpy couple
were brought blindfolded into the
center of the room, where they stood
whilo their visitors hung their offer -
Inge on their arms, neck, waist, etc.,
by moans of string. The bridegroom
had a bucket put right on his head,
with a huge tea-tray on the top of
that. A coal scuttle, poker, and sev-
eral brooms. were i.uspended from his
shoulders. A mouse -trap gave rise to
loud merriment, • afeo a saucepanful
of rico. They had a fish kettle and

Flies That Pester.
The presence of files in the house
Is a re{Troach. It is a falling away
from a high hygienic standard, Tor
the fly is a pestilential fellow. It
must be aamLtted, however, that it
is very difficult to keep habitable
planes free from flies. Poisonous fly, -
papers are unsightly,, and glutinous
cords a.nd traps are not very; plea.
sant accessories in the household.
Yet it is a platter not only of com-
fort, but also of health that the fly;
should be excluded. The Sly may, eas-
ily be a pathogenic agent owing to
the fact of its cboice of environment:
being oftentimes of the most dis-
gusting character. When a fly walks
across a sCtable culture medium it
leaves infection behind it, as shown
in the colonies of organisms, which
develop on the points with which the
insect's Iegs have been in contact.
The fly, therefore, should be driven
out of our haunts.
111 is a curious fact that flies will
not pass through netting even though
the meshes be quite large unless
there be a source of light, ave from
a window, behind It. Thus in rooms

net over the window will absolutely
keep the ,flies out, although the
meshes of the net may be an Loch

WHERE MAN IS DEFICIENT.
Dumb Brutes Have the Sense of
Localization Highly Developed.
Until. recently a majority of the
scientists have been reluctant to ad-
mit that a number of the lower ani-
mals possible possess other senses
than ours. So anuch new and un-
deniably affirmative evidence is,
however, now being offered on this
point that there can be no longer
any substantial reason for doubt-
ing that the five senses man im-
perfectly exercises are by no means
all that are possible to sentient
creatures.
One such sense not possessed by
human beings, but to a greater or
less degree almost universally pre-
sent in mammals, binds, reptiles, fish
and insects, is what, perhaps, may
be called the cense or localization.
It enables its possessor, apparently
by its sale use, to find a desired
spot. It is evidently closely connect-
ed with an instinctive and perfect
memory of distance and direction.
That the horning 'pigeon exercises it
to some extent, though undoubtedly
aided by the landmarks it recognizes,
is, indisputable; tinct the honey bee
has It in its fullness and perfection
cannot, after the careful experi-
ments of Albrecht Bettie, in Germany,
be doubted.
Examples of insects that possess
an X-ray sense, not only among
continental, but our own hymenop-
tera, can be multiplied indefinitely.
Only once or two of these senses pe-
culiar to the lower animals are
here noticed. Logd Avebury suggests
that there may be fifty of them."

Ship Mascots.
At the review before the King of
Italy! recently,, the pet donkey of the
ship Bacchante, marched in front of
the men. A donkey,' is rather a bulky,
sort of a pet, but probably no more
troublesome than the pet deer of the
English warship Terrible. The pri-
vilege of keeping pets is very much
appreciated by the bluejackets of all
navies, who lavish their spare time
and some of their spare cash on
strange animals. The Centurion once
bad a tame monkey that used to
eat with a ,spoon from a plate and
drink from a glass, with a dinner
napkin tucked finder his chin the
while. The Caesar had a pet goose
for some time back. Cats and dogs
are, o1 course, common on shipboard.

Men who have shot nearly all of
the dark continent's animals have,

the so-called "king of beasts," the
lion. To the hunter he is a cow-
ardly, skulking brute, far more dan-
gerous to the horses and oxen at
night than to the human part of the
expedition, always ready to slink off
and; escape a. fight if given, a chance.
