OUR MACHINERY IS
FAR IN THE LEAD
AMERICANS TEACHING A NEED
ED LESSON TO EUROPE.
Our Bicyclos First Carried tho Idea
of Strength Combined with Light
ness to the Old World, and Now
American Patterns Have the Call
in the Shops and Mills of England
and Germany But tho 1'oreign
Oporatlvo Is Still Behind His
Rival on This Side- of tho Ocean
in His Handling of tho Machine.
Washington Letter, I'lttsbutR Times.
The report of Marshal italstcad,
United States consul at Bitmlnir.in.n,
England, would he it satisfactory doc
ument to a largo proportion of the
population of the United Stars If It
contained no other informatln that that
which nlludcs to the bicycle as a power
In opening the door of tho old world
for Amcrlcnn-mado machinery. KitR
Innd and the continent until recently
entertained but a poor appreciation of
anything that originated In the laud of
the Yankee. While consldornble agri
cultural machinery has been slowly
making Its way down Into tho fertile
plains of the Danublan nnd Balkan
country, tho welcome given to nnythlnt;
of American manufacture was not over
gracious in any section. The change
Is remarkable. According to Consul
Hnlstcad, the blcycb was responsible
for breaking down much of tho wall of
prejudice that was met by American
machines of nil kinds. There Is In Eu
rope an Idea that the American puts
too little material in his machines. The
superintendent of a large American
manufactory of wood-working machin
ery spoke one day of that difference
between the American and English pat
terns. Tho English machines are mode
from patterns that are huge, heavy,
ungainly, and which require a much
larger amount of iron than the Amer
ican machine. Tho Englishman thinks
he must have solidity and strength,
and that the American Is too econom
ical of iron for either purpose. Hut
the American, on the other hand, can
never get away from the appearance
of his machinery. He llrst calculates
what work the machine will have to do.
Then he makes .allowance for the
abuses it will encounter in tho l:and3
of Ignorant men to whom in many
cases it will bo entrusted. Then he
considers how many pounds of east
iron will bo necessary, for he neer
gets away from the cost, and he makes
his drawings of the machine with an
eye for hnnnony of detail, and in rlio
endeavor to have a piece of work that
Hhall not be offensive in appearance,
for' grace of outline does not del met
from the ability of a machine to do
Its work. Tho American has an e.m
fient machine, and ond that Is eco
nomic of material and handsome.
CONVINCED.
Tt was impossible to make the Eng
lishman, agree with this idea until the
bicycle came upon the scene. The
English shopman maintained that looks
ndfl nothing to the capacity of the ma
chine, and that pig Iron is cheap, both
or which are true. Hut the American
insists that if the machine can be built
to look well and llkewlre to do its work,
and the materia! can lie so disposed at
to provide sullicient strength without
throwing iror. away, it is as easy to
consider tho saving of iron and the out
line of shape as to disregard those
point?. Thi.i was liroinsl.t into promi
nence In tho bicycle more than in any
other product of an American factory.
The bicycle demanrter: strength with
lightness. It became a study how to
make use of the least possible material
and get the best possible resisting qual
ities. And as the bicycle became a
popular machine, it was impossible to
keep a graceful appearance from tak
ing a deserved place. The American
bicycle wont abroad, and it was so
much the superior in appearance and
In endurance nnd lightnosn over the
fornlgn-made machines that tho Ameri
can wheel caught the public fancy, and
proved that tho American conception is
the correct one.
Tho American ha for years recog
nized tha asl advantages possessed by
his machinery as compared with for
eign machines of any sort, hut he could
not get the old wurlcl to understand
what was so palpable to him. An In
cident is recalled of some American
manufacturers who were traveling in
Europe. At uiio point visited they called
upon a manufacturer in the same line
as one of the party. They were shown
through the extensive plant with the
exception of a single department, which
the manufacturer said contained some
Ingenious mnchines, and he would pre
fer that his American rival should not
Bee them. The others of tho party were
welcome, and all might enter the for
hldden enclosure if they insisted. But
the manufacturer asked that the Amer
ican In the same line would bo cour
teous enough to not ask tho favor. Tho
others wont into the room where tho
machinery was, and when they came
out one of tho party announced that the
American manufacturer could learn
nothing there, for ho had used the same
sort of machines when they were really
novel, but that he had discarded then,
from tho American shop to put In ma
chines that would do much more work
In a given tlipe than those he was not
permitted to see. So loath was the
English manufacturer to accept tho
statement that he still asked the Amer
ican not to insist upon seeing the ma
chines.. AN OBJECT LESSON.
The 'bicycle has changed this. Tho
foreigner has been forced to recognize
that the American style of construc
tion nan Its advantages, and that they
are decided advantages, and while ac

cepting other things, Mr. Malstcad says
there are in tho Birmingham district
many factories that in tho post two
years have put In tho first now machin
ery that they have bought in a gener
ation. Tho introduction of American
bicycle maohlnery stirred thotn up to a
knowletlgo of their out-of-date equip
ment, and they made changes for tho
better. Much of tho machinery they
havo been buying is of the American
pattern. They begin to see that the
American theory of construction Is a
money-making one, oven It it does not
coincide with tho ancient British no
tions. To bo without new machinery a
generation would horrify the American
shop superintendent. A few days ago
a furniture manufacturer In a Pennsyl
vania town said that one of the most
dlfllcult things for his factory was to
keep Its machinery up to date. "We
bought a machine one day to joint tho
ends of particular pieces that wc use
In the manufacture of bods. Tt was an
Ingenious machine, nnd simplified tho
work materially," ho said. "But that
machine la old already. Another ma
chine has come out that Joints both
ends of the piece nt the same time. In
our machine a man must put one end
of his slat In the machine, then turn
the slat and offer tho other end. The
new machine does both ends when the
slat is offered once. It Increases tho
output of tho one man Just 100 per cent.
I know a firm thnt uses a lot of ma
chinery, and It is their practice to
throw out two or' three machines every
year just to get more modern ones.
Those removed arc In no senaj worn
out. Many times they are In perfect
condition, and capable of doing tho
work for which they Were built, and
sometimes a machine will be disposed
of when not more than two or three
years old. But a new machine has been
built for doing the same kind or work,
and doing more of It In a given time,
and the factory cannot afford to keep
the old machine, for it costs twice as
much In wages tooperate it and got the
same amount of work from It. The
new machine costs less to buy than the
old machine cost-i to operate.
PROGRESS.
Consul Hulstead says that hundreds
of thousands of dollars' worth of Amer
ican machines were put into British
shops us a result of tho bicycle, and
that the Impetus given the one branch
or trade in particular has awakened
the American manufacturer to tho now
possibilities in other shop centorj.
While he finds that there is a field
for American machinery in many di
rections, the bicycle has not .sold all
yet. Tho Englishman is conservative.
There is much missionary work to be
done before the American shop tools
will become the common tools used in
the shops of the world, and many of
the European manufacturers are catch
ing the other end of the American sug
gestion. In Germany, particularly, it
is becoming the practice to build ma
chines after American models. Ger
mans who have been in America go
back home after a few years of ex
perience in American shops, and they
carry with them n knowledge of Amer
ican methods and American patterns.
Americans are also encouraged to go
abroad to assist in setting up machin
ery that has been sold from this coun
try, and they are kept until they in
struct the European mechanics to op
erate it after the American fashion.
All these things are helping to make
the foreigner a competitor in the lino
which American ingenuity and rest
less activity have placed pre-eminently
in tho hands of the designer and
builder of the nev world.
But even with American machinery,
and its superior powers of production,
the foreigner cannot get the results
the American does. The European
workman does not understand driving
his machine as the American shop hand
does, and the machine that it sold
abroad as one capable of producing
given results often fails of turning out
the work because the shop hand can
not manipulate it at tho speed which
is common In this country. It Is ap
parent that tho American fashion of
keeping strictly in tho front with new
machinery will in time, and not a very
long time at that, give the Amerirci
the same position In the markets of
the old world, that the British and Ger
mans once held in the markets this
side of the water. Already the Amer
ican is feared, but the marked super
iority of his machines cannot be Ig
nored, and if he adapts his effocts to
sell his stuff to the peculiar trade cus
toms of his prospective buyers the
American machine is the machine of
the old world In quantities that will
grow greater every clay.

EtoiS!
BY J. E. GILBERT, D. DM LL. D.,
Secretary of American Society of Religious Education.
CONTEXT. In last lesson wc had n
bare mention of tho purpose of John
Baptist's ministry as a witness to
Christ (verso 7). It Is important for
us to read those passages, part of them
in this book (verses IB to 31), nnd part
of them In the other gospels, which
show how ho performed thnt import
ant service. Wo shall there learn that
he preached righteousness to tho peo
ple who resorted unto him at tho Jor
dan, and that ho baptized those who
repented; also that while he was at
tho height of his popularity Jesus came
to him from Nazareth and was nlso
baptized as on Introduction to His
office; nnd that In thnt baptism Jesus
was made known to John by tho sign
of a dove (verse 32), and by nn audible
voice from heaven. Afterward occurred
tho temptation in the wilderness dur
ing a period of forty days, of which
our author makes no mention. From
the wilderness Jesus1 returned to tho
place of John's ministry (verso 2S),
where occurred tho events of our pres
ent lesson.
TESTIFYING. The Baptist's Inter
est In Jesus did not decline during the
forty days of absence, and ho wag pre
pared at the re-appearance to bear ad
ditional testimony. At tho baptism he
had learned that Jesus was the Son of
God (Matt., 111:17), a title descriptive
of His nature, but now he understood
and announced His high mission (verse
2l). On tho day after the arrival John
was standing In the open field with
two dlsclploH (verse 35), and tho three
were looking upon Jesus as He walked
a little distance from them. Questions
and remarks mav havo passed of
which no record is given. But John
seized the opportunity to say to his
friends, "Behold tho Lamb of God"
(verse 3C). From a Jew to Jews these
words were full of meaning (Ex., xll:8).
Associated as they were with sacri
ficial worship (Gen., xxll:S), and fre
quently employed in tho writings of
the prophets (Isa., 1111:7), they could
not be misunderstood.
FOLLOWING. Immediately the two
disciples left their old master and fol
lowed Jesus (verse 37). This act ro
llected credit upon all concerned. It
must be that John the Baptist had been
unselfish and true to his calling, else
he would not thus give his followers to
another. And they must have been sin
cere seekers after tho truth, under
standing tho reason for attachment to
the Baptist as a preliminary to a
higher loyalty. And the whole story
of Jesus, as then known, must have
been sufllclent to awaken faith in Him.
The approaching men attracted atten
tion. "What seek ye?" was Christ's
Inquiry, desiring to know the purpose,
or rather to secure such a statement of
the purpose (verse SS), for Jesus could
not have been ignorant (Matt., xii:.!j).
The two disciples answered in one
word, "Rabbi," that is master, tender
ing themselves to Him to lie taught,
a declaration of a desire to be enrolled
among those who should espouse His
cause. "Where dwellest thou'."' they
inquired, delicately proposing a private
interview.
ABIDING. The approval of Jesus
was quickly given to the two who had
thu3 sought lllm. They were Invited
to accompany Him, which invitation
was promptly accepted (verse 39).
The three entered the inn which Jesus

try now. They will take that board
and nail It across the door of the corn
house, fodder house or cotton bin,
or whatever is levied on, and, slight
as it seems, 'that board represents the

the ground, It was merely a discarded,
weather-beaten piece of scantling, but

Ulie owner of the corn or cotton shows

cumstances. But, however much need

It's a penitentiary offense to tamper

are being cheated and made to pay over

tho nfternoon by our time), when tho
Interview began, and It continued

John and Andrcw.destlned to bo among
His apostles. What themes were con
sidered? What Impressions were
made? What plans were laid? These
questions are unnnswerod. But wo
may be sure that the occasion was ono
of grcnt profit to the two seekers.
FfN.T5ING. When Andrew and John
lett tho dwelling of Jesus at tho close
of their Interview they did not return
to John tho Baptist, their former In
structor, as they might havo done with
groat propriety. But they went forth
in behalf of Him whom they had visit
ed, becoming thus His first missionar
ies. Tho llrst person sought was Si
mon, Andrew's brother (verse 41). To
him they declare that they havo found
the Messiah. This is not quite the In
formation they had obtained by tho
Baptist's testimony (verso 36), and may
havo been derived from oilier instruc
tion, or from the lips of Jesus. As
these three men were all GalUceans it
may bo assumed that they had been
attracted to this region, as many oth
ers had been (Malt., 111:5), by the evan
gelical preaching, and that they re
joiced when the object of their search
was found. Shortly, probably that
very evoninr, Simon was taken by
his brother and friend to Jesus (verse
42). A prompt recognition must havo
gladdened all hearts. As the Lord be
held His third disciple and recognized
his stern qualities and his possible fu
ture He gave him it new name, Cephas,
or Peter (Matt, xvl.lS).
INVITING. It was now time for
Jesus to begin His own separate work.
To remain longer near the Baptist
might havo caused misunderstanding
and even antagonism. The three men
who had identified themselves with
Him had their homes in Galilee, and it
was His purpose to select others from
the same region of country, where the
people were less under the control of
the priests. Hence Ho determined to
proceed thither at once (verse 43), not
to remain permanently, but to open
His ministry. When ready to depart
ho met another Galileean, Philip, a
friend of tho others, a resident of Both
saida, a fishing port on the sea of Ti
berias (verse 41). To him Jesus gave
His first invitation, "Follow Me." Tho
meaning of those words could not be
doubted. It was a form of expression
common among Jewish rabbis who
sought to gain learners. In those days
a disciple or learner attached himself
to a teacher or master, journeyed with
him, and received instruction (John,
vili:31).
PREACHING. Philip Immediately
responded, becoming in point of time,
the fourth disciple of Josus, and he
quickly exhibited tho same zeal that
characterized Andrew and John. Re
deal becomes to all appearances oak,
walnut, satlnwood, rosewood or ma
hogany, just as you please . Sixty
square feet of veneering can be turned
out by a machine within the minute, an
inch of wood will yield thirty-two ven
eers. In this county a specially thick
veneer is cut; instead of papering the
walla of a house they are sometimes
veneered with mahogany, walnut or
birdseye maple. This veneer is so thin
that it must be backed up with paper
to give it strength. The best wood for
the purpose is got from trees that
have grown slowly in poor soil. Bicli
ly figured veneers aro obtained frpm
the rootrj of trees. There Is a good
market for them among the makers of
pianoforte cases.

jolclng In his now association he hnnt
encd to Inform Nnthunacl, another
Galileean friend, who resided In Cana
(John xxl, 2). Philip appears to have
been well Instructed, possibly by those
who became disciples before him, yet
tho words spoken by him to Nathanael
wore quite unlike any message pre
viously delivered. The Baptist con
ceived of Jesus ns Son of God and
Lamb of God (verses 18, 23). Andrew
called Him tho ...tcsslah (verse 41).
Philip spoke of Him as tho ono of
"whom M.osos in tno law and tno
prophets did write" (verso 45), adding
porsonnl data, "Jesus of Nazareth, the
Son (reputed or legal Son) of Joseph."
These threo forms of expression were
evidently parts of tho ono complete
statement concerning tho Messiah, who
should bo Divine, who should die for
sin, who was foretold. But Philip's ex
pression Is fuller ...an any preceding
and indicates the grasp of his mind.
QUESTIONING. Tho larger mes
eago delivered by Philip was discount
ed by Nathanael because of a single
expression contained In it. Ho may
have expected the Messiah and earn
estly longed for His coming, and he
may havo known that the prophets
declared He should bo born In Bethle
hem (Mlcah v. 2). -r ho may have
been governed only by a spirit of preju
dice. Whatever his motive, he ex
claimed: "Can any good thing coma
out of Nazareth?" That was the same
ne to question the enthusiastic state
ment of his friend. "Impossible," he
would have said, "you have made some
mistake. Messiah could not come from
such a miserable ana despicable com
munity." It was perfectly natural for
him to feel and speak thus. In all
ages men have been esteemed to bo the
product of their environment. How
ever, many times tho law of descent
and of association may fall to account
for qualities men turn Instinctively to
re-enforce that law. Pluiip did not
argue, as some unwisely do. He calm
ly said: "Come and see" (verse 40),
"and decide for yourself" the Gospel's
challenge to all men.
CONCLUSION. By many it Is
thought that large numbers of peoplo
must unite with enthusiasm In order
to achieve great results. But our les
son shows what may bo accomplished
through personal Influence exerted In
a quiet way. John the Baptist spoke
a single sentence and John the Evan
gelist and Andrew follow Jesus. By
another sentence Andrew gained his
brother, Simon Peter. By two words
Jesus secured Philip, and by one sent
ence Philip brought Nathanael. And
co tho first five apostle3 were gained
in two or three days Andrew, John,
Peter, Philip. Nathanael all GalUce
ans, sojourning for a little time to
hear the great forerunner. Think of
the ability and future of those men,
and then say how much was done to
ward advancing the kingdom of heav
en. But think, also, of the starting
point, the first word spoken. Had that
been withheld or spoken timidly, or
had some other word been delivered,
the result might have been far differ
ent. Every man in nis place, by uch
opportunity us may bo presented,
should do his part, not knowing but
the deed quietly done may set In mo
tion influences for good that shall ex-

fishing for lost anchors Is most sim
ple. A chain is let down In a loop long
enough to drag along the bottom and
the vessel goes on her way, with all
hands alert for a bite, and a bite ua
ually ends in a catch. The recovered
anchors are general'' sold again at a
prlco of about 5 cents a pound, which
is a penny under the market price for
now anchors. A big anchor will weigh
6,000 pounds, so that the fisherman

ever, the anchors fished up weigh from
1,000 to 2,000 pounds, and thero Is a
pretty profit In the business even then.
