That immense stone structure on Nos?
trand avenu*, near Prospect Park,
Brooklyn, istltc King*? County peniten?
tiary, one of tho most widely knowu and
Cist managed: institutions in the United
States, About seven hundred men and
aromen are confined there!
The most interesting part of the insti?
tution is the big shoe factory, which is
situated on the eastern end of the build?
ing* It is a T shaped building, three
?tories in height.
Here 500 convicts ara engaged in
making shoes for the Bay State Shoe
e and Leatljer company, a corporation
.which lias made a vast fortune out of
convict labor, lt gets its shop rent,
steam power, labor and all for about
$5,500 a month-about one-quarter of
what it would cost the employer of
Lon est labor.
The men and" boys who "work in the j
prison factory range in age from 15 to
?5 years. Some are ninety day men and
others are long tenn mea. They wear
the rough, striped shoddy garb, the pop?
ular fashion in all prisons.
SL&CEZXES WITH BRAIN'S.
Each man gets a day's task and he is
kept at it until it is finished. Some of
the tran.a?es are very expert and finish
their share cc the work as early as 3
o'clock. Three thousand pairs of shoes
are turned out of the prison every day.
All the instructors and overseers are
citizens who reside outside of the peni- !
tentiary. IE gassing through the shop
they can be readily cSsfinguished from
the-inmates, who are uniformed, shaved
and close cropped.
The factory is especially interesting. It
is arranged and managed like any big
factory of the kind. The machines used
are of the most approved patterns. They
perform v, r !x>ut exciting comment
things which would have been consid?
ered most wonderful a few years ago.
They are especially adapted for the-com?
mon work which the company manu?
factures.
There is one little simple looking ma?
chine which, as if by magic, chops and
changes thin little sheets of wood into
shoe pegs, and then drives them into the
soles-of shoes at one operation in so short
a time that the visitor is amazed. The
cold machine works and throbs as if en?
dowed with a head, heart and intellig?
ence.
Another machine that is driving men
out o? the business was working away,
guided by a convict meclianic. This j
machine attaches a heel to a shoe and
then trims the heel as nicely as a human j
hand could do the work and much faster.
lt "-was a powerful implement, and every
time it moved it looked as if it was going
.to crush the shoe into pulp.
< One or two blows fastened the heel to
? the shoe. The tum of a crank set the
i trimmer in motion and it rapidly peeled
' tho rough edges off the heel ant1 left it
ready for the burnisher-the man who
polishes the edges of the heels or soles.
Tho reporter saw another noisy little
machine in operation. It does ja great
deal of work and does it weU. The ma?
chine not only punched 4 he holes for
laces, but drove eyelets into them at the
same time.
Another machino sent two needles
flying and they sewed a double row of
stitches at on<? time. This reduces vamp?
ing lo one operatioa.
The reporter was shown every ma?
chine. It is the custom of the prisoners
to show every visitor a sample of the
work they aro engaged upon. They
band it without saying a word. The
rules forbid any conversation on tho part
of the inmates. Thc reporter passed
through the building without hearing a
single word. The citizen mechanics and
keepers alone are allowed to speak.
SILENT AS THE TOiTB.
Some of the lut-n become experts at
some part of the trade. None of them
ever can learn it all through, because
machinery is supplanting hand work, j
"When they become free they frequently j
manage to get good situations.
Two keepers guard each floor, but in j
casecf an outbreak, a score of men would j
bo ready for action in a minute. The j
prisoners these, however, its a rule, are j
well behaved.
The keeper opened a ?OCT and the re?
porter found himself in a room lilied
with bright, cheerful, chatting and neatly
dressed girl;. They were bent over !
machines or tables, working busily, j
They aro employee! on fancy work by !
tito company. They go t > th" peniten- '
tiary every morning and leave it every j
night for their homes.
The reporter was then escorted to a '
low frame structure in th<*"middle of the
yard. The scene here was altogether
different. The room was bright and
cheerful, but it was silent as a tomb, al?
though forty v/omen were in it. They
were prisoners. Some-of them had very
hardened faces marked by an I-don'jt
care expression; othersiooked as if they
had abandoned all hope. Only one
turned around to KOO who had come.
These unfortunate women werer.ttired
in rough blue dresses. They wt re en?
gaged in shoemaking. They are, of
course, kept apart from the men prison?
ers and isolated from the respectable
girls who work in the prison. Some of
them are life prisoners confined for
homicide.
There were desperate women in that
room-women who have terrorized men
Ju their time, but the discipline is so per?
fect there that order is maintained by a
single matron seated on an elevated plat?
form which enables her to see all over

L?CT?D LITTLE A&TiCLE.
Th? Raw Material Carnes from Spain.
Darno Nature Hir.il to the Trees-Th?
Machinery Used in Reducing the Hark
to "Stoppera-" and How It Works.
Just at the present time a business
which makes about as little as any busi?
ness can -well make and keep itself from
swamping is the making of corks.
Chicago can Ixxist of bat two sach es?
tablishments, and at first glance there
seems Hiera Hy no reason at all why it
-should not be?a most lucrative business.
There is ever a steady demand for
j corks; the employes are kept busy almost
j continually and receive tolerably fair
! wages; each of the Chicago houses ha? a
good trade, both wholesale and retail,
yet they make no money.
Some time ago the cork manufacturers
formed a league under which they bound
themselves t& certain tilings. For a
time all went well, but soon it was dis?
covered tlxat several were not fulfilling
their agreement and the entire thing
was, to put it mildly, "busted."
At present, therefore, they are pro?
ceeding on the ""go as you please" plan,
and each-one is heartily sick of it. Ob?
stinacy and the hope of better things in
the future are all that prevent many of
them from selling out.
What would champagne be without
the cork, and yee when it leaves ks sanc?
tum in the mouth of the bottle, with its
soul inspiring "pop," so much anxiety -is
felt to get at what is beyond it that no
thought whatever is given to the insig?
nificant cork; yet had it the gift of
speech of what wonderful things-it could
telL
THE BARS AND ITS COST.
Every piece of cork which enters this
city has been brought all the way from
I sunny Spain. In'the climaife of no other
j country will the cork tree, 'whence it all
j comes, thrive as under the blue skies of
Spain. Large quantities are shipped
every year from Madrid, Lisbon, and
one or two other cities, one of the Chi?
cago houses alene using nearly 6,000
bales last year.
The entire bark is stripped from the
tree trunk, leaving it naked and bare,
but Dame Nature is kind, and soon anet?
covering begins-to appear, of winch it is
again deprived by man, rapacious of gain.
Seldom is the bark of much more than
an inch in thickness, for the good reason
that it is usually taken off ere it has time
to grow thicker. However, the tree can?
not live and be robbed of-its bark oftener
than once in six years.
The bark is" broken or cut into pieces
averaging a foot or more in length and
virious widths, pressed out flat, and
packed in-bales. These are transported
to some seaport town, stowed away in
vessels, and carried to New York. The
average cost cf a bale upon landing runs
from $13 to $50 or $60, depending, of
course, upon the quality of the material.
Some of the bark is exceedingly porous,
with streaks and holes running through
it, which does not bring the prioe, natur?
ally, which is paid for that which 3s en?
tirely free from blemish. The last men?
tioned is called "velvet cork," and used
onfy m bottles fiUed with the'finest wines.
Such a self willed substance as cham
pagne otherwise might make its way
through the cork.
Upon reacl?ng the factory the bales
are "cnpacked, and ??eoe by piece soaked
for a snort time-not more than ten pr
twenty minutes-in a vat ?filled with
boiling water, after which the cork is
softer and much easier to handle.
A*cutter takes the pieces, places them
within reach of a rapidly revolving
wheel, with an edge so sharp;that -ivis
best to keep one's fingers at a safe dis?
tance. The barb is cut by this wheel
into strips, tho width of tho diameter of
the required cork. The strips are then
placed in front of a cylindrical instru?
ment, which moves back and forth tit
the will of the nr aipulator. and punches
out tho corks, Jiuch after tito same
fashion that our -grandmothers punched
out those good old fashioned cookies,
which were the delightof our childhood.
Hie next machine with which the cork
comes into close contact is a most com?
plex one. A .cup like receptacle is ex?
tended, the operative, in the case spoken
of, a young girl, quickly places therein
the cork; it is withdrawn, held against
a horizontal, sharp .and rapidly revolv?
ing wheel in such a manner that the out?
side is pared off with tiiat peculiar soft
cruncidng sound that cork uiakcs, leav?
ing one end reduced in size and the
whole cut in a uniform shape.
The waste material and finished cork
are then dropped by the machine into
receptacles placed to receive them and
the cup extended for yet another cork.
Thc whole tiling is done in the twink?
ling of an eye; almost before you see
the cork in place it is trimmed, dropped,
and the maciiine is ready for another.
The operator sits in a low seat beside "j
the machine, and as si?e feeds it per
forms with head and body a peculiar i
1 weaving motion back and forth, al- J
though she herself is evidently uncon- !
scious cf it.
Everything in this country is done by j
machinery, but the reporter was shown :
rome beautiful carving from cork done j
by hand by foreign workmen. A small ?
cottage was complete even to the j
shingles on thereof ?nd the palings of
the fence. A linked chain, which had ;
been over a yard long and ail made of
one piece of bark, was also quite a euri- ?
osity, as were the neatest of wine j
glasses and several other small articles. !

Why Crops Burn or Firs.
Farmers usually try to adapt their
crops to the strength cf their hud, or
to supplement its weakness by manures
either artificial or homemade. Thc
temperature and rainfall of the section
are lost sight 0", yet people, farmers by
practice, see their crops year after year
fire or burn, attributing it to the abund?
ance cr paucity of the rainfall, to the
manure used, to the -strength, generally
to the weakness of, the soil, or to the
cultivation, without ever considering
the fact that tbe soil itself is a potent
fectcr, if not th3 most potent one in the
result. Have they ever considered
their soil with reference to its power to
absorb or radit.te heat : If not, then
there is a field for investigation less
complex than that of temperature and
rainfall, but ti ot involving such a wide
range of observation. No two soils,
and scarcely any two substances, absorb
and radiate heat aiike. Such so?s as
absorb little and radiate rapidly are I
cold soils. Th'iy want crops that are j
great absorbers and bad radiator?.
These may bo such as to cover the j
ground closely, thus acting in both ca?
pacities. Sandy soils are best off with
this kind of crops, and if planted in
corn it should be planted as close as
possible to prevent radiation ; the
stalks admitting the heat, the shade
preventing radiation. As a rule white
substances absorb less and reflect more
These-white sands do both : especially
is this the case when heavy rains pre?
vent absorption of heat and increase re?
flection. A thermometer placed on
white wool, will afford a test that every
one can make for himself. Most crops
that burn or fire where the soil is not
too wet, wrii show that they do so from
radiated and reflected rather than ab?
sorbed heat.-American Fanner.
A Contrast.
It is a fact that in ten years-1878
1887 inclusive-the merchant marine
of the United Slates actually decreased
614,000 tens. The United States has
a great Chinese Wall called a War
Protective Tarif:7. During this very
decade Great Britain increased ber ton?
nage 304;000:: while Germany increas?
ed her tonnage 1?5.000 tons. England
is Free Trade and bas-no such monster
as our Republican War Tariff. In
1885 England's merchant marine was
estimated at 7,i&l6.000 tons. It is
altogether false and absurd fer Radical
sheets to pretend that the subsidy sys?
tem did this. It would require vast
sums to do this, i-uch as England has
never appropriated Thc Boston Post
throws light just here. Replying to
one of its city Republican contempora?
ries, it says :
'.In the "Slatter cf compensation it is
rather remarkable that in 1888 only
?6697,001 was pai l for the entire packet
service, agaiust ??1,139,470 iu 1874;
that is to say, at a time when tho mer?
chant marine of Great Britaiu was rap?
idly growing, her 'subsidies' were much
more rapidly decreasing. For the year
1889, in spite of the 'enormous' sums
which the .Journal informs us Great
Britaiu is going to spend forgetting her
mails carried, the estimate falls still
lowerJto ^'641,500. And in this not
extravagant sum is included the trans
Atlantic, \ndian, Australian, Sou.h
American and other long-distance ser?
vices, as well as the short routes -
