How Canadians and Esquimaux Manage
Their Canine Courssrs.

How Canadians and Esquimaux Manage
Their Canine Courssrs.
Mr.. Cameron in his talk with q re-
porter told Of the dogs that are used
for sledging during the winter in the
Northwest territories of Canada.
Six or eight dogs are used on each
sledge. They are fed only once in
twenty-four hours, and that is in the
morning before the start is made, and
after the dogs are in harness. At
that time about four pounds OF frozen
fish are given to them. Everything
must be in readiness for the start,
and the men must look to it that they
are at hand to jump on the sledges,
for at the very instant that the last
morsel Of fish disappears the dogs are
off at break-neck speed. Strange az
it may seem, the drivers do not dare to
feed the dogs unless they are in har-
ness. Otherwise they would scatter,
and nothing more would be seen Of
them. They are driven with one long
rein attached to the leader.
A whip with very short handle and
a very long lash is used to urge them
on, though in most cases they need no
urging, for they seem to feel that the
faster they go the quicker they will
come to the post where food and
warmth and lazy life await them.
They travel often as far as ninety
miles day. s'~~,..s- $50,

RICH FAMILIES IN AMERICA,

Astors and tho vnndcrbilts Control Be
twsen Them Hundreds OF Millions
careful estimate of the wealth of
the Astors puts il at 5000. oooo, 900, and
this makes the family the richest in
the United States. What is more, the
wealth of the Astors is in such shape
that il cannot but increase, for the
reason that it is gilt-edged New York
City real estate, some of which has
within the past ten years increased in
value 100 per cent and is still appreci-
arng. The policy Of the Astors has
always been to buy real estate on the
lines along which. New York City is
now extending and hold it for rise,
rarely selling, however, but building
and renting instead. The result is
that the Astor properties are in valua-
BILE lands, in brick, iron, stone and
mortar instead Of in fluctuzting stocks
and bonds, the Axed value Of which is
always uncertain. AS family the
Vsnderbilts stand next to the Astors
In the matter of wealth, and their
riches must be considered in the
aggregate and in common, since their
individual fortunes are pooled, SO to
speak. You will often see Cornelius
Vanderbilt, the present head of the
house, quoted as being worth SeCo,-
100000 OF course he is not worth
any such am cant. Cornelius has most
of the Vanderbilt millions, but those
who know say that he is personally
not worth above $50, 200, 900, il as
much.

Fastest Swim mers in the world.

The fastest swimmers in the world
are, of course, jewellers in the vastly
deep, but they are not fishes for all
that. They belong to the dolphin
family, which includes, besides other
interesting creatures, the porpoise. the
true dolphin, and the fierce killer
whale. or orca-this last named ami
NAL being so cruel, and so speedy
withai, that it is looked upon by the
inmates Of the sea as the scourge of
the ocean. The rate at which the
dolphin travels is over twenty miles
an hour, and they have been seen to
keep on swimming around and around
steamer which was going at its
quickest But the orca can overtake
even it's cousin, the true dolphin.

srALAcrrrE CAVES.

Tho Most Wonderful In the World Are
Located In Utah.
Two of the most wonderful stalac-
tite caves in the world are located
within the territory of Utah-one five
miles south of Toquerville and the
other twenty-five miles west Of st.
George. Neither is remarkable on
account of size, and to the best of my
knowledge the Identifying title OF cav
ern" has never been bestowed on
either of the two. They simply come
within the category of wonderful be-
cause of the immense number OF stall
actites, of various sizes and colors
which depend from their roofs. The
first, the one near Toquerville, is
known as LA Virgin" and the other
by the name of the "Black sWarrior. !"
The Virgin was discovered few years
ago by the contractor Of an irrigating
company, who was also engaged in
driving tunnel through mountain
called "La Virgin Bench" for the pur-
pose of tapping the river beyond.
When the light was first let into this
wonderful underground chamber the
effect is said to have been startling,
the roof and floor glittering with
cubes and points of crystal alum and
the roof studded with millions Of rain
bow-colored stalactitcs.

terpart of the Virgin and was disSov-
cred by miners at point where their
tunnel was 365 feet beneath the sur

Gss Motors and Water Meters, why
Not Ice Mstsrss
1t was left to Kansas City man to
foil the ice man, another prolific sub
ject for the funny men who write for
comic papers seems doomed. W. 3.
Dickson, who by profession, is at the
head of school of shorthand, and in
cidentally is an author and inventor,
was recently granted a patent for an
ice meter, to be attached to refrigera-
tors. 1t is to be known as the Dickson
ice meter. BY its use the consumer
will no longer be at the mercy Of the
ice man and the ice man will no longer
be compelled to listen to the COM
plants of his customers. The device
weighs the ice as it is day by day put
into the ice box and registers the
weight of each days purchase on
months register, SO that at the end of
the month look at the register will
show the exact number Of pounds used
during that period. 1t indicates the
exact number of pounds of ice remain
ing in the refrigerator at any time Of
the day, enabling the owner to know
whether or not it is necessary to order
ice: There are also other advantages
attached to the use of the meter. Mr..
Dickson has received numerous in
quiries about his invention and has
been offered flattering sum for it.

NOTHING uNusUAE.
That Yarn About Lightning Cavorting
on shipboard.


When the captain of the steamship
ALBANIA, from Dundee, came into port
few weeks ago and told yarn about
. ball Of fire doing insane things about
the decks of his ship, there were some
people who heard the tale with scorn,
and others who wrote poetry about 1t.
And now here comes another Dundee
skipper who tells of similar electric
display.
He Is Captain Lord, of the British
steamer Croma, which lately arrived
in New York from Dundee. Captain
Lord Gays his ship encountered heavy
weather from the start. Seas beat
high, and the barometer dwarfed it
self to 2S.45.
That hight there was succession OF
hail squalls, and the captain asserts
that during each squall every mast
head, yard.arfn and gaff were ablaze
with composants, or st. Elmo's lights.
as mariners prefer to speak of them.
They came and went as the squalls
blew and subsidized, and, as these lasted
throughout the night, the ship was
several times illuminated with dancing
tips of fire.
The ship during this time was driv-
ing before the gale with engines
stopped. She WAS lightly laden. and
the seas were swinging SO high that 1t
was. found necessary to stop the en-
gines to check the frightful racing Of
the propellers., Waves constantly
dashed over the ship, and one of the
vessels crew was badly injured by be-
ing thrown to the deck.
Toward morning the wind fell light
and then came in ftful gusts. Then
the lightning got in its play, and for
an hour or two the ship was in q per-
feet blaze of sheet lightning.
