Although there is a larger habitable area in South America than in North America, there is only half as many people in the southern continent. There are more than 6,000,000 Africans among the 17,000,000 of people in Brazil, and many of them the crudest type of negro on the American hemisphere. ~ The construction of concrete highways is going on in twenty-two cities and towns in Connecticut, and when these contracts have been completed there will be about seventy miles of concrete surfaced pavement in that, state. The highways are eighteen feet wide and cost 515,000 a mile. The longest single street of concrete road in Connecticut is two miles in Cheshire, on the main highway from Plainville to New Haven. Enough diamonds are sacrificed each year in the average automobile factory to fit up a dozen king’s crowns! Quantity production \of automobiles requires that every one of the 10.000 parts turned out by machinery must measure up to a high standard. Only then will the parts of the assembled automobile work together smoothly. The emery wheels, used for rapid finishing, must be “trued up” with corresponding accuracy. Nothing less K»rd than the diamond can be depended upon for this “truing.”— Popular Science Monthly.
