The Herald, 1903-09-11, Page 2ROCKEFELLER'S ECONONY. -- Shown an the Canning Works of the (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 - Martha. 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. "Whoever finds this letter, telling of our misfortunes, is receiested to the Admiralty. Manner-" 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." MR FACE ON BUTTON 25c.

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 vrith 'windows only; on one side Id. net over the window will absolutely keep the ,flies out, although the meshes of the net may be an Loch apart.—From the Lancet'.

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." Short-sighted. Detroit Free Press.

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.
