Pocket Electricity.

A correspondent asks if it is not
practicable for person to carry
enough electricity and use it for the
purpose Of heating the body by means
of electric heating apparatus placed
under the clothing. We presume it is.
A few 200,ampere-hour cells scattered
among the pockets, connected in series,
ought to do the business. They would
probably weigh 500 pounds OF more,
and to this must be added the weight
Of the heat apparatus. The latter need
not necessarily be in the form of a
street car heater; it could be spread
out on a fiat surface 1t would not
look well, for instance, to carry box
shaped heater across the stomach.
Care must be taken to prevent short
circuiting, which might. result in roast
ing to death.-Electrical Age.

MESABA MINES AGAIE DISAPPOINT
THEIR OWNERS

Some of the Actual Results of the
Iron Mining Season of 1895.
The owners of the Mesa ba iron
mines in st. Louis county have Jared
badly for the past two years, most of
a loss. Last year heavy losses were
suffered by the capitalists who own
the mines. They entered upon the
present season with rosy hopes. The
seasons ore was sold in the months of
April and May, as usual, at prices
ranging from $3.50 to $3.50 per ton,
according to the quality of the ore.
The advance in the price did not take
place until July, August and Septem-
ber, long after all the seasons ores
had been disposed of by contract for
future delivery. The miners in con-
tracing their ore for the season fig
ured on 80 cents as the cost of lake
freights, but lake freights have ad-
vanced in an unprecedented way, and
are now and for some time past have
been ruling at $1.5O per ton, so that
much of the ore that was sold for
from $3.50 to $3.50 is being delivered
in vessels which cost the mines $1.5O
per ton. A mine selling its ore in the
early part of the season, for say 1925
to $3.50 per ton, must now pay $3.50
per ton for lake freights, leaving only
Is cents to 81 for mining and for rail
freights to Duluth. AS the rail freight
alone is 80 cents and the commission
insurance, interest, etc., 20 cents, it
will be seen that the cost of mining is
a dead loss and the ore is given away.
The rosy hopes of the spring. there
fore, have met only disappointment,
and the miners are now figuring with
much anxiety on the net results of the
years operation.

Deafness Can Not 30 Cured

There Is only one way to cure deafness,

Deafness Is caused by an inf1amed con.

unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed for

by Catarrh, which is nothing but an in

time, a couple Of years ago, there was
such a flood Of that sort of robbery in
