Tbe Story of • Brass Founder's
Trmns( rn «ttoa ol Oarabrluus.
A story Is tcld f n braw founder
who was one day visited by a friend
acting as agent for one of the cities of
Central America. The agent asked
what it would cost to oast a statue of
Christopher Columbus for the public
square of the city. The amount was
far in excels of the sum which the man
bad at his disposal. He was about
leaving In despair of being able to se-
cure the statue when the brass founder
said;
"Come back in the Junk yard and let
us see what can bo found there."
He went back, and the brass fonnder
showed him a colossal statue of Gain-
brinus. recently removed from the
front of a large brewing establishment.
Under bis feet rested a beer keg. In his
hand was a large and overflowing
schooner, his beard was long and shag
gy. and about his brows was wreathed
garland of barley and hops.
'•Why. this will never do." said the
commission merchant. M1 want a stat-
ue of Columbus."
"Wait until I have touched this one
up Come back in about a week and
see what you think of It. If it suits
you. you can have It for the amount
you have at your disposal."
As soon as the visitor had gone the
brass founder set two men at work on
the figure of Gambrinus. They re-
moved the beer keg from under bis
right foot and placed there an anchor
and a coil of rope, from his band they
removed the goblet and substituted a
globe, with the continents traced on
It; from his brow they took the wreath

said a listener. "I suppose the plain,
old fashioned nail has caused more
fires In the big establishments where
machinery is used In many and com-
plicated ways than any other little
thing in existence. The only thing
needed is for It to come in contact with
some other hard material with suffi-
cient force to cause a spark and heat
generation. Nails have really produced
a heavy per cent of the cotton fires of
the country. Daring recent years, on
account of steps taken by the owners
and conductors of the larger cotton and
byproduct plants at the instance of In-
; surance men. the nail has not been
such a prolific producer of Eres.
"A way has been found, for instance.
In cotton gins, cotton mills and In
plants where cottonseed are ptn
throush tuinnfacturing processes, of
extractine nai'.s and other we g'.ty and
flinty substances that may find lodg-
ment in these inflammable products.
Gravity Is the natunl force used Na'.ls
and rocks and materials of this kind
are heavier than cotton and its by-
product*. and they have a tendency to
force their way to the bottom of the
h'ap By allowing the-e products to
over a rolling belt arrangement
these heavier materals filter towarl
the bottom and are finally extracted,
so tbat when the cotton or the cotton-
teed passes through the grind in the
var.ous manufacture? processes there
is hut little danger from fire so far a
