The following communication APP
peared in this months Minnesota
Weather and Crop Rerieu:
Referring to your report of the 18th
perhaps l can give you some inform
alton regarding hay and pasturage
which is very light this season. Have
heard so many complaints I have been
studying for cause. 1t isn't lack of
moisture this season, but the scorching
it got last. | notice that pastures that
were fed close last year are grown up
to weeds this. Also meadows, espec-
tally those cut early, the grass is very
light. The same dry, hot weather
that destroyed potato bugs, killed
grass roots. I have not seen this cause
given in any report, but it is correct
and easy to prove.

Rum River will not be used by lum ber
men much longer: 1.-The logging rail-
road between Mora and Mile Laos

now materializing. O'Neil Brothers,
well-known railroad contractors, have
secured the job of building the road,
and are now on the grounds with a
corps Of engineers, surveying the route.
The road starts from a point on the
west side Of Knife lake, and will termi-
nate at South Harbor on Mile Laos
lake. The work of grading will begin
next week. They will start in with a
crew of 500 men and 40 horses. The
road to its terminus will be about
twenty miles long, and will be COM
pleted and in running order by Jan. L."

The logging road between Mora and
Mile Laos lake of which more or less
has been conjectured during the past
two years is now about to be built. A
crew of engineers came on this week
who are now surveying the route.
Just where the route will terminate
we are yet unable to state. We are
told that the road will be built this fall
and that 100 men will be employed in
it's construction. This new enterprise
will have the effect to improve bust
ness somewhat and stimulate prices of

II is n well-known fact IN history

in front Of it the sNrhrms held their

Sharks Skin as Sandpaper.

A carpenter who was ut work IN the
New York Aquarium at Castle Garden,
and knew thing or two about fishes,
took the skin of dogtish which Ind
died, dried it, and used il rs sand
paper. The dogtish is Of the same
order rs the shark, whose skin is often
used rs sandpaper. Shark skin sand
paper is fine aud uniform; it doesn't
scratch, aud it is lasting; the gritty
points ARE really modified scales.
Fishermen use shark skin AS sand
paper, and some is sold for that nse,
not so much, however, in this country
Ms in Europe. When sold it is used
principally on fine cabinet work.
In this country sharks are utilized
chiefly for their oil and for the manu-
facture of fertilizers. An oil that Is
used for lnbricating purposes is taken
from the sharks liver, the rest OF the
shark, excepting such skins rs there
may be other demand for, being
worked up into fertilizer. In Europe
the shark is caught chiefly for its oil
and skin. A handsome leather called
shagreen is made from shark skin, and
this is used for making pulses, card
cases and ornamental boxes. Shag-
reen is more used in Europe than
here. Many small sharks are eaten
in Europe; in Mediterranean cities
they are IL common article of food. -

Navigators on the Great Lakes ara
being furnished with new set OF
charts which have been prepared under
the direction of the Weather Bureau
for the purpose Of showing the prinCi-
pal currents on the lakes. This work
was begun three years ago and has
Just been completed. The Idea was
first suggested by the fact we'll known
among lake navlgators, that most of
the wrecks which have occurred in re-
cent years have been clustered about
certain parts of the lakes which have
come To be known as especially dan
gerous. As conditions Of wind and
coast have not fully accounted for these
disasters, it was decided to investigate
the main currents of the lakes TO as.
certain, if possible, what hidden causes
of danger there might be in them and
the undprtows. Accordingly. the
Weather Bureau instituted Il series of
tests by means of floating bottles which

Value OF a Brothers Ashes.

A novel claim is being made upon
one Of the great French railway COM
panies. A gentleman who came to
Paris to have the body Of his deceased
brother cremated at the crematorium
at Pere la Chaise Cemetery, took the
ashes away in a handbag, and, previous
to setting out On his return journey to
his home in the country, deposited
the bag at the "consigne,' or cloak
room of the railway station. When
he came back to claim it, it had gone.
Someone had come and claimed the
bag, and it had been given up, proba'
bly, in mistake. Inquiries "ere insti-
tuted, but the missing bag could not
be discovered. The gentleman has
brought action to recover damages
for the loss he has sustained, and the
Judges will be called upon to decide
what is the money value of brothers

They permit street hawkers to shout
