Government agents are visiting various
mines where nickel ore Is abundant I,
and are testing its qualities Numer-
Gus experiments are quietly being
made at the different navy-yards and at

that nickel-sieel armor Is superior to
steel armor. Official tests In this

At present about Eve per cent Of nickel
Is used as an alloy in making nickel

The object OF tho tests now being made
Is to ascertain IL bottcr results. by

not favorable unless the manufact urcrs

Grade. The increase in tho exports OF
wool over last year was 10. 600 bales,
making tho total export Of wool for tho
fiscal year 1ss9-9o l. 46..j9s bales.
The cost OF keeping sheep enters Of
course largely into the calculation OF
profits obtained. and tables are given by
Mr.. Griffin showing that on improved
land an average profit OF 81 cents per
sheep Is oh.a'rcd: on land subject to
droughts profit of ~ cenis is yielded.
while on well-grassed land profit Of
leo cents per head is in many instances
obtained. When the fact that there are
los. 900. 600 sheep in Australasia Is
considered. the immense profit de-
rived from the wool industry be-
comes apparent at glance.
The interesting fact Is brought out that
as between padiocked sheep and
