Wood.PuIp Shce.HeeIs.

One of the latest adaptations Of the
wood pulp industry is the manufacture
in Haverhill, Mass, of shoe-heels from
that material, white pine and other
kinds being used for the purpose. In
carrying out this art the plan as de-
scribed consists in reducing the wood
in the usual way in digesters, after
which the pulp is put into tank and
mixed with the substances for impart-
ing to heel-stock the necessary require
ments, such as alcohol, litharge, tar,
degras and fishglue, thorough mix
ing of these with the pulp being fol-
lowed by soaking the sa meaday or two
so that the fibre may be permeated,
when another application of materials
occurs. The object at this stage Is to
harden the pulp somewhat, so that it
can be rolled into thick sheets and ham

this. the pulp then having the censis-
tency of cement At this point slack
ened lime is put in. and, as this hardens
when dry, the pulp must be rolled into
sheets and cut into heels before the
hardening takes place. The pulp Is
now drawn from the tank in sheets,
it being just thick enough, there being
specially arranged rollers and adjust
ments at the bottom of the tank for ef.
fecting this. A series of pressures
through press rollers reduces the sheet

How the Successful Air Ship Will Be
Built

1t is an old story now that the aero
nauts of the day have abandoned the
search for light materials and buoyant
gases in attempts on aerial navlga-
ton. The fiimsiness and large area Oh
exposure that attend the use OF such
means place the aeronaut at the merry
of the elements. Their hope now hes
in the principle Of the H., ;as Gysser sn sas..
which boys sail to such gratifying dis-
tances with comparatively small mus-
cular effort, and the laws which ac-
count for soaring birds like the buzz
yards Professor Langley, Mr.. Max
i'm and Herr Lilenthal are one in their
reliance on this aeroplane theory. The
mechanical peculiarity of the acre
planes motion is similar to the Gid
ing of a rapid skater over thin ice-the
faster he goes tlra less danger is there
of sinking. So Professor Langley has
used in the building Of this last and
most successful machine substances
actually thousand times heavier than
the air which promised to support
them, and he relies entirely on the ex-
tensive area of the planes, shaped
something like the wings of hawk,
and their angle to the currents of air.
to achieve buoyancy. The oyster-shell
analogy affords luminous explanation
to every man who remembers the &C.
stacy of seeing the white disc soar
AWAY and up hong after the earth
should, by all experiences of stone
throwing have claimed her own. The
f1atter and thinner the shell within the
limits of weight, the more astonishing
the flight that resulted, unless. indeed,
the edge of the missile were inclined
downward instead of slightly upward.
In the former case the shell darted in
stantly to earth, and the throw fell as
much short of the average heaying of a
pebble as the more scientific skim
would have exceeded it

and yet, in four years that southern
herd was almost totally extinct. with
such a lesson before our eyes" said
Mr.. Hornaday, confirmed in every de-
tail by living testimony, who will dare
to say that there will be an elk,
moose, caribou, mountain goat, noun
tain sheep, antelope, or black-tail
deer left alive in the United States in
a wild state fifty years from this date,
or even twenty five!"
II in the earlier days before the
buffale's almost complete e1termina-
ton, the people had realized the I'M
mense money value Of the great herd
as it existed in 1870, the slaughter
could probably have been stopped.
At that time, 100000 head Of bulls,
young and old, could have been killed
every year for a score of years without
appreciably diminishing the size Of the
herd. At Mr.. Hornaday's estimate
these could easily have been made to
yield various products, worth So each,
as follows: Robe, $3.50; tongue, %
cents; meat of hind quarters, So; bones,
horns, and hoofs, 25 cents; total, $5.
And the amount annually added to the
wealth of the United States would have
been not less than 100000 on all the
robes taken for the market, say 200,O
The Government could have collected
a tax of 80 cents each, which would
have yielded a sum doubly sufficient to
have maintained a force Of mounted
police fully competent to enforce the
laws regulating the slaughter. The
American people, it seems, have not
yet learned to spend money for the
protection of valuab BILE game and by
the time they have learned it, there will
be no game to protect. Even despite
the enormous waste of raw material
that has been shown in the utilization
of the buffalo product, the total cash
value of all material derived from this
source, If it could only be reckoned up,
would certainly amount to many mill
ions of dollars, perhaps $20,0OO,OO0 all
told.-New York Times.

EIba's Iron Mines.

The Iron mines of the Island of Elba
appear to have been worked uninter-
ruptedly for at least 5000 years; local
tradition says 1000. According to this
tradition the people Of Syracuse were
the first to work the mines. Later, as
we know, the ancient Etruscans used
them, and after that the Romans.
They still appear inexhaustible to us,
as they did to Virgil (Aeneid X, 173).
Up to 1854 the amount of ore e1ca-
waited annually is estimated at 1000
tons. From that date until 1851 it is
said to have been about $4,000 tons;
from 1851 to 1881 about 10000 tons,
In 1881 100000 tons were taken out
The government, fearing that at this
rate the ore would soon be exhausted,
fixed the annual maximum at 10000
tons, at which it still remains. The
ore is of the highest quality, but the
methods of extraction used are still
very primitive.

Hawaiian Huckleberries,

Near the Volcanic House on the isla,
of Hawaii are great thickets of the ohclo,
or Hawaiian huckleberry, says the Popular
Science Monthly, which the natives con-
slider sacred to Pele, the goddess who is
supposed to preside over the famous
crater of Kilauea, and which, together
with white pigs and chickens. are thrown
by them into the boiling red lake during
an eruption to appease the wrath Of the
aggressive dame and thus cause the rivers
of lava to cease flowing on their destruct-
i've course.
These berries grow in clusters on low
bushes right on the very brink OF the
birthstone beds, and are so numerous that
bushel may be easily gathered in half
an hour. In appearance they somewhat
resemble cranberry, and the flavor is
ulesssntly suggestive Of cranes.

RACE OF MISSING LINKS
Interesting information About Some
Curious Bushmen in South Africa.

Curious Bushmen in South Africa.
Olive Schreiner, the clever author
ess Of "The Story of a South African
Farm" gives some curious informa-
ton in a magazine article about the
strange little bushmen Of South Africa,
now nearly extinct.
Akin in race and speech to the dwarf
lighter in color. So small in size are
they that an adult Bushman is not
larger than an ordinary European child
If eleven. They have tiny, weazened
faces, the wool on their heads grow
ing in little balls with naked spaces
between. They seem to resemble, we
are further told, not so much a race
Of children as race caught In the
very act of evolving into human
form-the missing link, in fact
These small people had, 1t seems, no
fixed social organization. Wandering
about in hordes or as solitary individ-
uals, without any settled habitatien,
they slept at night under the rocks or
in wild dog holes, or they made them
selves a curious little wall of loose
bushes, raised up on the side from
which the wind blew, and strangely
like an animals lair, and this they left
again when morning broke. Their lam
guage is said to be so imperfect that
the clear expression of even the very
simplest ideas is difficult. They have
no word for wife, for marriage, for ma
tion. No member Of the race has, in
any known instance, been taught to
read or write, or to grasp religious con-
ceptions clearly, though great efforts
have been made to instruct them.
Although in no known instance has a
member of this people been truly civil
ized, yet they have "a curieusly strong
sense of gratitude, and are not incapa-
BILE Of powerful affection of dog
like kind" as an incident which came
under Miss Schreiners own observa-
ton shows. She says:
"Some years ago we came in contact
with Bushhoy who had been procured
from his mother for bottle of brandy,
and who was carefully tended in the
hope Of civilizing and rearing him. He,
however, contracted consumption. On
the day of the death of his mistress, see
ing what his state was, bade him lie
down in the little box which was the
only bed he could be induced to use.
Half an hour after we discovered him
in the yard cleaning the knives, with
the struggle of death already in his
face and the rattle in his throat Asked
why he had come, he shook his head,
and said he could not allow his mistress
to have her dinner with an unpublished
knife. We took him back to his box
and gave him sugar stick. He curled
himself up, gave look of unutterable
gratitude and affection to his mistress,
gave one suck at his sugar stick, and
died-like small, wild animal-but
one capable Of profound gratitude and
affection
These people, Miss Schreiner adds,
have now almost Disappeared; a few
hordes in the northwest and solitary
individuals hanging about the pale of
civilization are all that is left Of them.
