Spider Outdone by Man.
Romance in business? Of course
there is. As soon as we think of
foreign trade we get the glamor and
thrill of It; and to Joseph Pennell’s
«Yes a giant crane or a viaduct or a
steel mill is a picture. But who of us
ever thought of romance in connection
with wire rope?-
John Kimberly Mumford has not
taken wire for granted. In “Outspin-
ning the Spider," he has told the story
of an amazing Industry in a fashion to
rival the hedonist. Let a single pas*
sage speak:
"Seven one-thousandths, three one-
thousandths, one <jpe-thousandth—one
record after another was passed.
"At last a wire was drawn that
measured one four-thousandths of an
inch In diameter—twelve times liner
than the hair on yonr head.”
The spider, so long counted a master
workman, had been outdone.—Nation's
Business.
And Now the "Finale-Hopper.”
That section of Manhattan called the
Acropolis of America, extending from
Riverside drive to Morningside park,
has a new designation for ultra-modern
girls—"finale-hoppers.” They are tlie
young women who are a year ahead of
the present, or think they lire doing
now what the rest of their sex will be
doing at some time In the future, Ray­
mond G. Carroll writes in the Philadel­
phia Ledger.
A flnale-hopper is never In style. She
is a trail blazer, a pathfinder. She an­
ticipates style. As soon as what she is
doing Is taken up and adopted by the
crowd she drops It and turns to some­
thing else that is absolutely new. That
applies to music, art, dancing, dress
and even slang. She is ever on the still
hunt for anything fresh that has never
before been done or known.
Electrical Rubbing.
A motor-operated rubbing machine
for wood surface finishing lias been de­
veloped by an American concern. The
device Is operated by a fractional
horse-power motor, which moves the
rubbing blocks together and apart at
an even speed. The speed is governed
by a regulator which can be varied ac­
cording to the class of work to be done.
The machine Is Inclosed in a dust-proof
aluminum case and weighs about thir­
ty-five pounds, and, while this weight
gives sufficient pressure for ordinary
purposes, additional pressure can be
applied by the operator if it is desired
The device is used for rubbing surfaces

Decay is expensive and wasteful.
Price lumber alone, to get an idea
of what it will cost to repair or re­

The best paint is the most econom­
