Canada Has All The Nickel,

"When nickel steel comes into gen.
eral use for the construction of ves-
sells, as it undoubtedly will," said
Canadian gentleman at the Great
Northern the other day, "Canada will,
in sense, control the ship-building
industry, because, so far as is at pres.
ent known, there is very little nickel
outside of the Dominion, while we
have nickel-bearing pyrites practically
without limit. That whole vast stretch
of territory reaching from Lake Su-
perior to Labrador is rich in it and
will produce hundreds of thousands Of
tons of it annually for IN unlimited
period whenever the demand requires
it..
Chow will this control the ship
building industry? Why, in this way.
It has been demonstrated by conclu-
sive tests at your proving ground at
Sandy Hook and elsewhere that steel,
mixed with, say, five per cent. OF
nickel, is double the strength of ordi-
nary steel. In the construction OF
men-of-war the advantage is obvious
and in building merchant vessels the
benefit to be derived from the use of
nickel-steel is equally plain, as it will
enable them to be built much lighter
than they are now, which means less
coal and less engine power with an
equal amount of security and equal
amount of speed. 1t will only be a
few years when wooden vessel in the
port of Chicago will be something of
q novelty, and the new vessels will be-
fore very long, for the reasons indi-
Gated, be made of nickel.steel, and
this will be the only metal in demand
for the purpose at your great ship.
building yards in Cleveland, Detroit,
South Chicago and other points.
'.Another advantage which steel
having nickel in it's composition pos
sesses over ordinary steel is that it
will not corrode and that barnacles
cannot get a foothold on it, so that
nickel.steel ships bottom will never
require to be scraped. "-Chicago

Wouldn't Have His Hair Cut.

Prince Toumanoff, member of au
old and historical family in Russia,
has just received an order expelliny
him from the university at Odessa and
directing him to leave the town with
in forty-eight hours. The extraordi-
nary reason for this decree is that he
declined to wear his hair short. He
has been refused permission to go to
St. Petersburg to present petition,
and now by his expulsion from the
university he is not permitted to enter
another in Russia. His bright hopes
and lis aspirations to employ his tai
ents for his country's benefit are
wrecked, and his career in Russia is
ruined.

The Magnet in Aurgery.

A few days ago G. H. Fiske, the Old
Orchard hotel proprietor, got needle
into his foot and was unable to ex-
tract it, although he tried many ways
to do so. Finally, knowing the affinity
of steel for a magnet, he went to the
electric-light station and placed his
foot near dynamo, and out came the

Furthermore, it is asserted that the act
of April "a isitself vague, meaningless and
