Every Now and Then Some One Dis covers a Us: to Which a Despisec Article Cai Be Put--Sheddy ant Mungo Are the Basis of a Grea Industry--Old Tins Are Now o Value. Have you ever considered what » curious and wonderful trade the busi ness of collecting waste materials is It is bigger and far more interesting than you could ever have guessed and takes you into all sorts of by ways where you will make some discoveries. . A waste merchant or dealer--ther are any number of names under whicl the business is carried on--is a mar who will buy what nobody wants However useless a thing may seen he*can generally find a use for.it, ane he thrives on this special knowledgt of what things are made of, and wha: they can be made into. Many waste merchants are very rich mem, and out of business hours you would neve: guess that their wealth was draws from such despised articles as rag: or old tins. An impetus is given to the busines: every now and then by the discovery of some fresh use to which wast materials can be put. ! The first of these impulses was giver Englishman, who discovered thai woollen rags could be torn up into a material, then called inal wool. This simple discovery has and the material, renamed *'shoddy" (if made from soft rags, such as stock ings), or "mungo," if made of hard rags, is consumed in huge quantities. Within a short radius of Dewsbury in the heart of the heavy woollen dis. trict of Yorkshire, there are over 40( rag-waste merchants, who sell to the woollen and shoddy manufacturers. The rags are collected all over the country, and even imported from abroad, to the tune of about a mil lion pounds worth a year. So expert are the rag-graders that they can us- ually tell at a glance from what part = of the world any given sample of rag comes. In the towns of Dewsbury, Batley, Morley. Ossett, Heckmondwike, Eng.. and others we have the curious spec- tacle of a whole country-side flourish- ing by virtue of the discovery of the uses to which simple woollen rags 'may be put. How many moderate fortunes have been made in the wool- len-rag trade it would not be easy to say, but the number hust be very large. It is practically certain that the ®oat you are wearing contains a pro- : portion of shoddy. This need not wor- ry you, however, for the some thing has just been pointed out to a well- known Cabinet Minister who has been visiting among the * ad A word or two about cotton and linen rags.

As the reade will know, they only contain a very little tin in the form of a coating on the outside, the principal metal, priced at over $1,000 per ton at 'present, and it was well worth while to try and find some way of extracting it. An ingenious method has now been found of dissolving the covering it from 'the 'solution. The discovery was made by a German, but though the largest whrks are in that coun e process is also in use in Great onal Huge quantities . of tins are col by the various Lon- "§ don' eléansing departments and sold to have the tin extracted. Have you any idea what cerdite, celluloid, tg artificial silk are made of? All these are comparatively new discoveries, and they are all made, at least-in part, out of the cotton waste, which is one of the waste products of ¢ the Lancashire cotton industry. One of the things the Balkan War did was to raise the price of low cotton waste, which is used in the manufac- ture of cordite. Britain's cotton mills produce over $20,000,000 worth of waste annually. The aristocrats of the waste trade are. undoubtedly, the big scrap-iron and old-metal merchants, who will purchase anything from an old battle ship downwards. "A battleshi every now and then, and a torpedo boat or coasting steamer any day of the week," is the way they put it. Old metals are, of course, used for melting down and refining. A curious feature is that in some cases the ma. terial is better for being old. Thus old h acquire in the process of use so excellent a temper that they ae bought at high prices to make into cutlery.

There is no age limit to the modern heroine. erhaps the most striking thing about the t heroines is their efficiency. y are fast dyed, they won't fade or wear off. They don't go around and create sensations; they don't go in for high brow isms and ologies, or for fads and fetishes; but they are outfitted -with good mentalities, and they use them in some practical, result-bring- ing way. Poverty is no crime, or even a cause of caste lowering, but the heroine of the modern novel, it she is depemxdent on hesself, is not likely to be poor. She gets out and goes . after something and suceeeds remarkably.

Of course, nowadays knights do not go to the world's end for'a fight: any knight with a drop of red blood in him can find a contest worth while at his very door.
