ALL SEALSKINS SHUT OUT.
AN IMPORTANT FEATURE OF THE BILL
PASSED BY CONGRESS.
SECTION Q ABSOLUTELY PROHIBITS THE BRING
ING OF FUR-sEAL SKINS INTO THE UNITED
STATES FROM ANY SOURCE WHATEVER
A SEVERE BLOW TO ENGLISH AND

STATES FROM ANY SOURCE WHATEVER
A SEVERE BLOW TO ENGLISH AND
CANADIAN INDUSTRIES
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE bill relating to pc
lagic sealing which has just passed both
branches Of Congress and is before the Presi-
dent contains a provision of reaching i'm
portance which has thus far escaped attention
1t places an absolute prohibition on the further
bringing OF sealskins into the United States from
any source whatever. AS the United States is
the largest market In the world for seaskins
this complete stoppage Of the trade in this coun-
try Will be a severe measure against the British
and Canadian industries which take and cure
the skins and ther dispose of them largely in
the United States
When the bill WIS introduced 1t was generally
supposed that its Only purpose was TO prohibit
American citizens from carrying on pelagic seal
ing. This feature was the only one to attract
attention during the discussions At the close
OF the bill. however. is a section which is not
strcted to Americans. but applies to sealskins
in general taken in the waters mentioned In
this act" which includes the whole Pacific
Ocean The provision is follows:
Section 0-That the importation into the United
States ~ any person whatsoever OF fur-seal
skins taken in the waters mentioned in this act.
whether raw. dressed. dyed or manufactured.
is hereby prohibited. and all such articles Inn
ported after this act shall take effect shall not
be permitted 10 be exported. but shall be seized
and destroyed by the proper officers ~ the
United States.
Those who are thoroughly familiar with TO
bill say that this provision II ~ FAR more in
portancc I'm its effect than no prahIhuiHn af

Big Reptile Creates Conformation
in bloomfield IN. J.) Household.
A monster snake created consterna-

afternoon. The reptile was discovered
by the servant, Mary Kunsy. When she
raised the lid of the ice box in the eel

shrieked and nearly tainted. Memebers
of the family rushed to the scene, and as
soon as the girl recovered her speech
she gave such vivid description of the
snake the Johnsons came to the con-
clusion that a boaconstrictor at least
was in the cellar. A search was made
for the reptile, but it could not be

those who know. The reason Tor that
conclusion is that, besides the vast
quantities of white mica which are in
sight, there are apparently large de-
posts Of other minerals of high COM
mercial value. Then, too, say the ex-
perts, there are great possibilities of
the finding of deposits of garnets, the
resting place Of which are generally
beds of mica.
The exact place where all this treas
ure has been found is Federal Hill, one
of New Jerseys beauty spots, which
dates back to the revolutionary period
in history. Land up that way wasn't
worth more than perhaps 500 an acre
until few weeks ago. The mica is
worth in this market about $500 ton.

Pine street. The cock was strutting
about the yard looking for trouble
when suddenly he came face to face
with his image in the glass. His fight

enemy critically. His anger grew as

NORTHUMBERLAND EGGS.
Company Formed to Drive Hens
Out Of the Business.
Con tracts Placed for !Si5G,OOO worth
OF Machinery for Factory to he
Established at Beaver
Falls, Pa.

Several times within the past ten
years the public has been assured that
ut some time in the future eggs would
be manufactured and put on the market
at u price that would drive every self
respecting hen out Of the business. The
proposition was regarded by the afore-
said public as the natural result of a
pipe dream" ard no credcnce was
placed in it.
Now, it seems the making OF eggs
and good eggs-is no longer Il chimera,
q company having been formed in Pitts
burgh that means the beginning of the
hens final extinction. OF course, the
good housewife, out of respect to ira
dition, may continue to support in lux
nry dozen or SO big Brahmas, merely
to keep the pastor from looking guilty
when he is invited out to dinner.
But the hens mission as a purveyor of
suitable garnishment for ham and ba-
con will have become a sinecure, and it
is hardly probable that the farmer will
favor wholesale and indiscriminate
pensioning."
The facts about this new industry
that wantonly tramples ON the vested
rights of hens, as stated by the Pitts
burgh Post, are as follows. A company
has about decided to locate it's plant at
Beaver Falls, Pa. Fred Avery, manager,
OF the Hotel Victoria, has offered the
company 1000 acres OF land in the vi
cinity of Mount Clemens, Mich, if it will
establish the plant at that place, but the
parties interested favor this section
OF the country on account of the facili-'
ties offered for shipping. Gustave New
Y1o %ln
company, visited Beaver Falls recently,
and has secured an option on a piece Of
ground which he thinks will be entire
~ suitable for the purposes of his con-
Germ.
Contracts have been placed for $780,
200 worth OF machinery for the plant.
ana as soon as the site has been agreed
upon contracts for the building will be
Jet. 1t is expected that the factory will
be in operation early in the fall.
One important feature Of the scheme
has not been mentioned. The shells of
the eggs manufactured, after they have |
been used and discarded, will be repur-' |
chased by the company and sold to |
manufacturers of rubber shoes. A re- |
bate will be allowed hotels and restar-
rants on old shells. The bitumen in the
egg shells is said to be valuable for the
purpose OF polishing rubber. Rubber
shoes are now polished by means of
friction, which is both troublesome and
expensive, and members OF the new egg
company say they can dispose of dis
'arded egg shells for this purpose. The
gentleman interviewed said:
by disposing Of the egg shells in this
manner we can make enough to pay all
hipping expenses, and that will be
lulte an item, for we intend to place
arge quantities in the English mar
let."
