Moet of City's Refuse Carted Away Is Asleep Speoially While Town Trained Men Look After Asphalt. Regular Force of Nearly Thousand Cleaners. 1 i m In : With almost every city and tow the United States preparing for its spring cleaning, attention has been at tracted to the methods of clcaumg house adopted by the Important cities : of Europe. ! In no European town perhaps are the methods more interesting than in the thriving (lertuan city of Hamburg. where carefully trained children help to keep the city heautilul. Writing from that place. United States Consul Hubert P. Skinner sa.vs th;.t the mayor of one of the large cities of Ohio who visited llamlmrj was mm h iuipiessed ' with the important part performed by the children in keeping the city clean. 1 He departed from the city. Mr. Skin- : ner sa.vs. convinced lhat the dialling ; of streets and sidewalks In Germany Is n much lighter task than in-cities of Hie same size in the United States because of the orderly habits of the j people themselves. Suction street sweeping devices. continues Mr. Skinner, "ure practical ly unknown in Germany. Hamburg itself owns horse drawn sweepers only. although for about nine months two electric motor sweepers have been In use. These, however, do not yet be long to the city and are being employ ed experimentally. They have not giv en satisfaction and have been under repair more than three months. These motor driven sweepers fall to work well In this city because the pave ments, ns a rule, are not very smooth, and the mechanism of the sweepers is deranged by the shaking it receives. Recently the front wheels of these sweepers have been provided with rub ber tires, and they have worked more satisfactorily. Cleans 1,290 Streets.

The Jurisdiction of each post is divided Into ten subdivisions, so that in the event of emergency work can be taken up simultaneously nt a moment's notice at 120 different H)luts. First the broom machines, of which there nre twenty-six, sweep the roadways, while the sidewalks ure cleaned at the same time by special men. Another squad follows the sweepers to heap up the dirt swept to the roadside, and finally carts and garbage wagons fol low. Tho night work never lusts more than eight hours.

How Pins Are Manufactured Solid iieaded pins were first made in Englaud in 1797, by Thomas Harris. Pins were first made in the United States at the time of the Revolution, by Jeremiah Wilkinson a native of Rhode Island. A ma chine for making solid headed pins were invented in 1824 by a New Hampshire man. But it was not until 1831 that the first machine for making pins, such as are in use today was brought out. From that itime on, improvements in pin mak ing machinery have been made, so that at the present time pins are made almost entirely without the aid of human hands. In making pins, a pair of pincers seizes the end of a brass wire, which is wound on a spool, and draws out a length of it. The wire runs between steel posts which straightens it. The end of this wire is now caught by two clamps and a cutter cuts off enough to make one pin. A small piece of the wire from which to form the head is left projecting from the clamps. The head of the pin is not formed by one blow, as in tiie case of nails. but by the rapid blows of a fuming die or hammer, which moves forward about one-twentieth of an inch after each blow. If it was struck but once the wire would be bent and would not form a perfect head. The pins drops from the clamps to an incline steel plane beneath in which are grooves large enough to admit the shank but not permit the head of the pin to pass through. As the pins move slowly down thein - cline plane, the point comes in con tract with a revolving cylinder be neath. This cylinder, the surface of which is corrugated like a file revolves parallel to the grooves down which the pins ore moving Tho cylinder comes in contact with the pins on only one side as they move down the grooves, this causes the pins reach the end of the grooves they are perfectly sharpen- fd.
