Roxy is the equine pet of the police
department. Every officer knows
RoXys history from the day he en-
tered the service and has a warm spot
in his heart for the mild-eyed animal
whose claims to renOwn are many.
Roxy IS the big iron gray horse which
gallops to every police call and fire
in the central district, and is as familiar
to many citizens, and the proverbial
small boy, as to the blue-coated guard
ians of the public peace, among whom
he has spent the greater portion Of
his life. Whenever the patrol gong
sounds and the hurry up" wagon
goes careening through the streets
with the handsome gray, and Bull"
his present mate a slender bay, gal
looping along as though a life depend
ed upon their speed, and often this is
the case, some one invariably re-
marks, There goes Roxy" and in the
significance of this sentence lies ROXy's
claim to prominence.
Roxy is a AIinnesota-bred horse Of
Morgan and Black Hawke stock,
eighteen years old, weighs 1850 pounds
and has done police duty for the 4ast

of these mines, containing vast stores
or gold, depend in great measure
upon the more rapid introduction OF
reindeer for freighting. There are no
roads in Alaska, and no transportation
facilities away from the rivers. Dogs
were used in the limited travelling Of
the past, but the dog teams have been
slow and food must be carried for their
use, while the trained reindeer can not
only travel two or three times as fast
as the dogs, but can be turned loose
to feed itself on the moss, which
abounds.
The FIRST importation of reindeer,
made by the government at DR.. Jack
sons suggestion, was 700. in one year
this increased 200. They breed very
rapidly, and the plan followed by Dr.
Jackson has been to lease small herds
OF twenty to the residents of Eskimo
villages, with the understanding that
In five years 100 must be returned to
the United States government. 1t is be-
lieved that when the period expires the
Esktmos will be able to fulfill their bar
gain and have 400 left for their use.
1t Is regarded as important that the
natives, who are just emerging from
barbarism, be taught how to support
themselves. DR.. Jackson relates many
tales which show the depraved condi-
lions of these native-born Americans.
ne says IIldl dLlOHS the VIII IIShlIllOo
Of the Arctic it is considered a kindness
and a neighborly act to kill an old per-
son or one who is chronically sick.
When Capt Jackson was on the coast
OF Siberia native, who had made up
his mind to move to another section Of
the country, had an invalid daughter,
who could not be moved If they took
all of their goods. Instead Of remain
ing at home and caring for the girl, the
man and his sons packed up their be-
longings, and when the time came for
them to make the journey they went
into the hut and stabbed the daughter
to death Another case is told of a
man who had been sick for some
months, who adjusted a cord around
his neck, and then asked his neigh
bCrs to pull him up until he was stran-
gled to death. He wanted to die. and
as good neighbors they assisted him IN
accomplishing his wish.

gard it as important not only to give
the people moral training, but also TO

NEW YORK. July 4.-The people of
New Brunswick, N. j., learned today
with regret that the government had
stopped the plan of stamping the let
tiers received at the postoffice there
with the weather indications for the
ensuing twenty -four hours. No rea-
son was given for the change.
The idea was introduced in New
Brunswick more than a year ago. and
became very popular in the city. Be-
sides the hour, date and place Of re-
ceipt of the letter, several words were
also stamped telling what the weather
would be during the next day. Sudden
changes in atmospheric conditions
caused the Dostotfice men to hustle
very often to change the stamps from
fair and warmer to rain and cold

pertinent has been a great success. The
vast territory of Alaska central and
arctic Alaska, untitled for agriculture
or cattle raising, is abundantly sup
piled with the long f1brous white moss,
the natural food Of the reindeer.
Taking the statistics Of Norway and
Sweden as a guide arctic and subarctic
Alaska can support 100000 reindeer,
furnishing a supply Of clothing, food
and means of transportation to a popu-
lation of quarter Of a million.
The reindeer is peculiarly adapted to
the conditions of life in the arctic re-
gions, and it furnishes the possibilities
of large and increasing commercial in
dustries. The flesh is considered
great delicacy, whether fresh or cured.
The untanned skins make the best
clothing for the climate of Alaska and
when tanned is good leather The hair
is in great demand by reason of its
buoyancy and is employed In the MAX
ing of life preservers. From the horns
and hoofs are made the best glue
known to commerce. When Alaska Is
thoroughly stocked with the valuable
animal it is believed that along these
lines industries will be developed that
will amount to millions of dollars an
nually
During the past season the influx of
miners into the Yukon region has made
all urgent call for reindeer for freight
ing purposes. In the original plan for
the purchase and distribution Of rein
deer the furnishing of food for the
furnishing Eskimos was the chief con-
sideration, but it has lately been found
that the reindeer are as important to
the white men as they are to the Es-
kimos. The wonderful placer mines of
the Yukon region are situated from
twenty-five to one hundred miles off
the great Yukon river. The provisions
brought from the south and landed
upon the banks of the river are with
great difficulty transported to the
mines. So great was the extremity last
winter that mongrel Indian dogs cost
$10O to 5000 each for transportation
purposes, and the freight charges from
the river to the mines, thirty miles,
ranged from 10 to 20 cents per pound.
1t Is now agreed that the development

he Is always the first under the har-
ness. He has gathered wisdom with
age, however, and eXpends none or MS
energy in stamping around and fret-
ting to be off. He simply stands per-
fectly still, counting the taps OF the
gong, 1t is said at the station, and
when the alarm is in, steps carefully
out of the barn door Once on the
street, however, with word from his
driver, RoXy's head goes down TO a
level with his rather short, thick BODY
and he is off like a race horse. He
knows the shortest route to either the
upper or down town district and can
turn corners at full speed with
precision which takes the wagon close
to the curb but never causes a jar.
One word from his driver and Roxy
will come to a full stop in the midst of
the maddest run. He Is frightened at
nothing and works as readily on one
side of the pole as the other. He is as
gentle as a kitten and can be driven
by the most timid woman or little
child. In the stable Roxy is a Veri
table pet. All of the small boys in the
neighborhoOd take him sugar, candy or
a choice carrot, begged at the Third
street market and as the big gray
brushes the gifts of his little friends, he
rubs his soft muZZle against their
cheeks as though thanking the young
RoXys stall door is left open all day or
night, but he has never been known to
leave his post of duty without a ring Of
the big gong. He and Bull, despite their
different temperaments, are the best
of friends, in the equine way, and
when off duty rub noses and playfully
nip each other in the most conganial
manner. AS a team for the particular
kind of work which they are called
upon to perform they are regarded as
par excellence by every officer at the
central station, ard Roxy and his
mate are always shown off to visitors
while the virtues of the big gray are
eXtolled for the benefit of the stranger
Roxy is a monument to the excellent
care which he has received since Ae
became a patrol horse. He has passed
through the hands of the drivers and
his kind disposition, together with his
sterling worth, has always made him
an object of especial care Thomas
Haggerty, ROXys present driver, has
had charge of the old horse for the
last five years and is as solicitOus in
the care of the noble animal as though
Roxy were a little child. Nothing is
too good for Roxy, in Toms opin-
ion. and if Bull was of a jealous dis
position. he might pine himself into
his grave over Driver Haggerty's af-
fectionate half hours in the big gray's
stall. Roxy reciprocates his drivers

who was about fifteen years old, had
fight with a neighbours boy. Before

boiled eggs. Had I known as much

In two Of the museums of Roman antiuui,

ers Which indicate that the principle of the
water tube, the browning feature of modern
boilers, was fully understood and appreciate
ed some 1000 years ago, says the Boston
Transcript. W. T. Bonner, Of Cincinnati,
o.. has been investigating these heaters
and found them TO be interesting as they ara
beautiful. One Of them consists Of an outer
shell twelve inches in diameter and nearly
seventeen inches high surmounted by a
side this shell is an internal cylinder, also
having hemispherical top, which is 10 inchea
in diameter and twelve inches high.
The two shells are connected at the bot
tom by a rim like the mud ring of a To-
connective firebox, and the space between them
was filled with water. The CRATE was formed
of seven tubes made from sheet bronze,
rolled and soE.ered or braZed. These tubes
open at both ends into the bottom of the
space between the sheets, thus forming
water tube CRATE for the fuel to rest upon.
Charcoal was probably used with this heater
and was placed on the CRATE through an
opening AS inches high and inches wide,
closed by beautifully decorated door. The
gases from the fire escaped into the outer
air through three small openings formed by
tubes crossing from the inner to the outer
shell about Sc inches above the CRATE. The
whole apparatus was raised about twelve
inches on tripod, so as to allow air to reach
the fuel.
In another boiler of somewhat the same
type the outer shell has the form of urn,
while the inner shell rises from a water
tube crate to an opening in the side. 1t is
II inches in diameter at the widest part and
