AUTOS RUIN THE WHIP MAKER
Englishman Forced to Close Shop Be
cause Nearly Ail His Customers
Have Taken to Motors.
There is pathos behind the an
nouncement made by George Schom
berg, a whip maker who has been in
business in Brompton road for 45
years, that owing to nearly all his
customers taking to motor cars and
discarding their horses he is forced to
close his shop for good, says the Lon
don Chronicle.
“My yearly turnover ten years ago
from the sale of whips used to be be
tween $15,000 and $20,000, but last
year my turnover was only $4,000.
“Before everybody gave up horses I
used to sell six to eight dozen whips
in the shop each week, whereas now I
only sell two or three,” he said.
“There used to be over 60 high
class whip make.rs in London about
12 years ago, but when I will have
put my shutters up for the last time
fhere will be only two or three left.
“Prince Christian, the duchess of Al
bany, Lord Lonsdale and members of
the royal houses of Russia, Italy, Ger
many and other continental countries
have bought whips from me. So have
many Indian rajahs.”
Up till a few days ago Mr. Schom
berg had nearly 20,000 sticks, none of
which had been cut less than 17
years ago, stored above his shop for
the making of whips. These he has
given to his assistant, Albert, who has
worked for him for 26 years.

GOOD SUBSTITUTE FOR GLUE
Corrugated Steel Fastener, Designed
by New York Man, Simplifies
Work of Mending Breaks.
Designed by a New York man for
general use in the hardware trade, the
corrugated steel fastener shown in
the illustration is said to be particu
larly useful in repair work and, there
fore, a handy article to have around
any home. The fasteners come in sev
eral lengths and consist of a strip of
corrugated steel with one edge sharp
ened. To join a broken piece of fur
niture or mortise the corners of a pic
ture frame the fasteners are laid
across the two pieces to be joined and
driven into them. The corrugations
serve to keep the joined parts from
slipping in any direction and insure
a lasting job. The inventor claims
t_
Furniture Repairer.
that the fastener is not only a good
substitute for glue but an improve
ment over that substance as it accom
plishes its work quickly and is not
susceptible to the elements. For re
pairing broken chairs, tables, picture'
frames, pattern making, etc., the val
ue of the device will be readily appre
ciated and it is especially convenient
in joining mission furniture.
IRON DUST WORTH MILLIONS
Process Within Last Few Years Dis
covered for Briqueting Residue
Heretofore Blown Away.
In these progressive days, when up
to-date manufacturers consider from
an economic point of view the utiliza
tion of everything possible in then
raw materials, it is interesting to
know the value of some of these in
the shapq of dust which was formerly
wasted, but is now utilized.
A notable instance may be quoted
in the shape of flue dust in the manu
facture of pig iron. This dust is
blown by the blast furnaces into the
flues by the fierce blast necessary to
generate the heat to manufacture the
pig iron, and is composed of iron ore,
limestone, coke, etc.; in fact, the same
ingredients as make the iron. Hith
erto, although thousands of tons of
this have been available and known
to be of value, it has been a waste
value and dumped in heaps owing to
the difficulty of compressing it with
out a binder, but there has been dis
covered, within the last year or so, a
process of briqueting it, and the result
is that approximately the discovery is:
worth yearly to the United
States alone, as merchantable iron is
now being made from such dust.
SETTING BOLTS IN CONCRETE
Pins or Fasteners May Be Easily Lo

Shown in Illustration.
When anchoring bolts in a concrete

bolts could be more gasily determined

bolts of the machine and struck with a

hammer than with a rule, writes
James M. Kane of Doylestown, Pa., in
the Popular Mechanics. Holes were
bored at the location of the dents
made by the bolt ends and a skeleton
base made as shown. This kept the
bolts in their right places while pour
ing the concrete. If this is done in
the manner illustrated, the machine
will fit on the bolts perfectly.
Coal to fiewcastle.
Even though crude oil and gasoline
are being largely substituted for coal
as a source of power in Seward penin
sula, Alaska, 16,405 tons of coal were
imported in 1912. In spite of Alaska’s
great coal resources, not over 200 tons
were mined in the entire territory in
1912. Alaska is sadly in need of a
statute allowing her to mine her own
coal, under adequate terms.
Melting Metals.
A patent has been granted a Ger
man engineer for a process for ap
plying the oxygen-hydrogen flame to
metals under water and melting
them almost as well as if in the open
air.
Fireproof Coal Mines.
Two Illinois coal mines are said to
be as nearly fireproof as possible, as
the shafts are concrete lined and
steel buildings and beams are used
throughout instead of wood.
Salt Production.
The salt production of the United
States has doubled in 15 years, last
year's output of about 333,330,000
barrels being seven per cent, more
than the year before.
Vessel Propelled by Motors. \

Washington. —The far-famed vale of
Kashmir, in northern India, is to be
brought into touch with the outer
, world by means of the longest aerial
, cableway in the world —75 miles
’ across the Himalayas. United States
Consul Henry D. Baker, on special
commercial service in India, writes
from Simla, the summer capital, to
The Daily Consular and Trade Reports
i (Washington, October 17) that engi
neers have long tried in vain to solve
• the problem of adequate transporta
tion across this mountain barrier. It
is crossed at present by a road 200
miles long, a wonderful piece of en
gineering, completed in 1887. Fifty
; four men were killed by falling boul
ders during its construction, and ow
ing to the presence of these huge
loose rocks in the soft soil, the build
ing of a railroad—even a light elec
■ trie road —has been pronounced ,im
■ practicable. There is nothing for it]
but to swing a cable high in air over,
the treacherous mountain-chain.
Writes Consul Baker in substance:
“After' the invention of Brennan’s
monorail system of transport the gov
ernment of Kashmir entertained
strong hopes that this system would
be well adapted to meeting the special
difficulties of communication across
the mountains, and Mr. Brennan, in
his experiments with the monorail,
• was liberally assisted by subsidies
from the Kashmir government. How- ;
ever, it was found that the monorail
system would also be impracticable,
chiefly because of the sharp-turning
angles which would be required, and'
also the danger from slips.
“At the suggestion, then, of Lieuten
ant-Colonel A. J. de Lotbiniere, a Ca
nadian military engineer, whose serv
i ices had been lent to the Kashmir
Aerial-Cable Road in the Alps,
Which gives an idea of what the much
larger and horizontal one will be in
the Himalayas. It will be 75 miles!
long, sometimes swinging 1,200 feet in
air.
government as state engineer, It was
decided to cause investigation of the
feasibility of an aerial cableway, and.
if possible, to encourage private enter
prise to enter on this project. This
survey has been completed and has
demonstrated to the satisfaction of
the firm and of the Kashmir govern
ment that the scheme is practicable
and will not be unduly expensive. It -
Is anticipated that the cost will
amount to about $1,500,000.
“In discussing with Lieutenant-Col
onel de Lotbiniere, at his home in
Kashmir, the features of this great
scheme, it was mentioned to me that
although the work would be under
taken by a London company, yet he
hoped, as the cableway would be op
erated by electricity generated by wa
ter-power at a station near the town
of Rampore, built by an American
electrical engineer and equipped with
electrical machinery from the United
States, which had given every satis
faction, that the London company in
the interest of uniformity of electrical
equipment would purchase all its elec
trical machinery and material in the
United States.”
