to the noise his father made

During campaign In Silesia the

into closer relations with his soldiers.
One night he was stopped by a sentry,
but giving the proper password, was
permitted to proceed. Instead of doing

There was din in the street, there

along, knowing naught of farewells or
of eyes that were wet, hearing only the
beat OF the drum and the feet treading
onward to war, growing faint. growing
far, seeing only the track. dust en-
clouded. whence back looked never a
man to that village street! How We
fingered around. listening low for a
sound, till the thrum of the drum was
a clover bees hum! How we marched
a retreat through the still village
street and followed the footprints which
covered the ground. And when weary
at last, how we happily cast ourselves
down in the wheat. talking not of de-
feat, needing not the wild red where
crushed peoples were shed. Or the thun-

mountains massed. We gave them but

A CURIOUS IRON NINE.
The WOrkmen Use Their Feet to Find
the (lre

The Workmen Use Their Feet to Find
the Ore.
Lake ores are abundant in northern
Europe, but. SO far as the writer's
knowledge extends, Lac Ia Tortue and
a neighboring lake are the only in
stances of the kind in North America.
says Popular Science Monthly The ore
Is extracted from our lake mine by
hand and by power. The shallow mar
gin is divided into sections and allotted
to suitable parties who may desire to
work them and who are paid at a spe-
cited rate per ton of ore raised. Two
men generally work in company. Their
implements are shovel, strong cir
cular sieve and rough hand barrow.
When work is to be begun the wOrkmen
remove shoes and stockings and use
their feet In searching for ore which
lies imbedded in the soft sand, nothing
cOarscr than sand. except ore cakes,
being found in the lake. Guided by
their feet the workmen put down their
phOvels and bring to the surface a
quantity Of ore and sand. which they
throw into their circular sieve. This Is
then held below the surface of the wa
ter and made to rotate to and fro until
the soft sand is washed away from the
ore, which is then thrown on scow
provided for the purpose or carried to
shore. When a sufficient quantity has
been collected 1t is carted to the rail-
way near at hand and loaded on cars.
From the deeper parts of the lake the
ore is raised by means of a steam
dredge. The captain Of the dredge
moves over the lake and. putting down
aspole and working 1t about on the bot
tom. can easily learn where there Is a
body OF ore suitable for dredging. The
dredge Is then moved to the desired
spot and work Is begun. The ore and
sand are brought up in buckets on an
endless chain and thrown into a long,
revolving screen. adjusted and inclined
so as to deliver 1t upon scows moored
to the dredge. In its course down the
screen the mixture Of ore and mud Is
acted upon by water which is thrown
upon 1t with considerable force. By
this means the mud and sand are
washed ont Of the screen and the clean
ore Is deposited on the scows.
