EircpInces of Snow.

About the end of January, or when
the sun again appears above the hori-
ION, many families Mt the two Eskimo
villages near Point Barrow, in Alaska.
leave their winter houses and travel
inland seventy-fve or one hundred
miles to hunt reindeer along the upper
waters of the large rivers that flow in
to the Arctic Ocean east of the point.
Here they encamp in large, comfort
able snow houses, usually dug out in
a solid snowdrift. Like all Eskimo
winter houses, these are entered by
means of n long, low tunnel; and
opening out OF one side of this tunnel
there is fireplace built of snow slabs.
A young man and his wife moved
down from Point Barrow after winter
had set in, and, IA there was no ac-
commodation for them in any Of the
permanent wooden houses, they built
themselves small hut from blocks of
snow and roofsd it over with sailcloth.
L made them visit one afternoon, and
found the house pretty cold and un-
comfortable in spite of the large stone
lamp that was burning all the time.
The entrance tunnel was about ten
feet long; at the left hand as you en-
tered, and close to the door, was the
fireplace. This was about two and n
half feet square, and neatly built of
slabs of snow, with n smoke hole at
the top and stick stuck across at the
proper height to hang pot on. When
the first fire is built in such fire.
place, there is considerable melting of
the surface of the snow, but as soon
as the fire is allowed to go out this
freezes to hard glaze of ice, which
afterward melts only very little.
These fireplaces are used only for cook
ing, as the Eskimos rely wholly on the
oil lamps for warming the dwelling. -

Tho Tnrk,r Strong CnnItnI.

Military critics who have studied the
situation assert that Constantinople
has the strongest natural offences of
any city in the world. 1t is almost im-
pregnable.
SO long as the Turk can hold his
capital the Ottoman Empire will exist
Military critics say it would he almost
impossible for any Nation or Union of
Nations to seize this place, which is
the key to the situation in the East.
On the land side it stands on Il mar
row tongue of land, not twenty-five
miles broad, and as first line of de
fence is sheltered by range of lofty
hills. A comparatively small army en-
trenched in these Businesses could
defy nm enormous host, which would
have to cross wide plains to reach
them
On the side of the sea it is even
stronger. The Bosphorus is n narrow
and dangerous channel, with lofty
banks on each side.
The same is the case with the Darda-
nelles, through which it would be i'm
possible TO pass in the face of a fire from
forts on either side of the narrow strait.
1t would be absolutely necessary to Sc
cure, in the first place, the peninsula
Of Gallipoli Brit its isolation and the
height of its cliffs would make this an
extremely difficult task.
The only course would be TO take
the city by blockade And the diff
Guilty of this is obvious, for it would
be necessary to prevent supplies reach
ing the city, not only from the direc-
ton Of Adrianople, comparatively
easy task, but also from Asin Minor.
To do this it would be necessary TO oc-
cupy the country for distance OF $50
miles. And military experience shows
that there is no task at once so haras-
sing and so difficult as that of prevent
ing supplies from reaching m enemy
across n long line Of country.

Eloise's home, but chose instead O
seat of learning farther east.
Finally one February morning there
arrived short, unhappy note, in
which poor Eloise begged to come to
visit the Dayton family. Mamma is

fever, so they won't let me stay with
them, and it is so lonesome here in
this big house with no one but the
servants. Besides | want to talk TO
You about Mr.. Thomas Dayton"
DIR. Charles's heart leaped for Joy.
This formal 'Mr. Thomas Dayton"
spoke volumes.
Aud so the little girl came to Bliss
field the second time, and reached the
Dayton home on another stormy night,
this ii ne to be welcomed by the beard
ed doctor standing by the glowing fire
and holding out both his hands. Sim
pie Elizabeth the next day told him oil
Eloise's confessions of Toms neglect,
and added:
She puzzles me, DIR. Charles. She
doesn't seem to he half so broken
hearted as L expected. really think
that her pride is hurt worse than her
affections. And L thought she loved
him So.
The climax came when n whole week
passed without letter from Tom, and
Eloise, setting her white lips and
blinking back her tears of mortifica-
ton, wrote to offer to release him from
his engagement. The speed and eager
ness with which he accepted almost
took her breath away
DIR. Charles was standing in the hall
in the twilight, before the CRATE.
where he had welcomed her the stormy
night n few weeks ago
As his eyes fell on Eloise, half
broken, half radiant, there sprang into
them such light "a made her drop
her own. She realized that Elizabeth
had told him the whole pitiful, shame
full little story, even to sending the
ring back i'll its tiny white satin bed,
and yet, somehow, she never wns so
happy before.
You are free again, Eloise?"
He hal taken the little left hand
aud turned it till the freight showed
the bare third finger. And poor
Eloise could only say little half
sobbing eyes"
'"Then, said Dr. Charles, solemnly,

ZINC IN GOLD COINS.
fts Presence Causes the Rcmeiting OF n
Large Amount or Money.

The tests of gold bullion rnd coins
which are made n. the Government
Assay Offices occasionally disclose
deviations from the standard of fine
ness which necessitate the remelting
and recoining of considerable amounts
OF money. In one instance a lot of
1925, 900 in half eagles was remelted
because there was variation in fine
ness from 500 to .903 This variation
was first discovered in two half eagles
which came from the New Orleans
Mint. The issue of these New Orleans
coins was stopped aud an investigation
was made under the direction of Cabell
Whitehead, the assayer to the Mint
Bureau.
Upon tracing the history of the
bullion used TO make these half eagles
back to its first appearance at the Gov
ernment mints, il was ascertained that
the bars sent to New Orleans and to
the Philadelphia Mint were made
several years ago in the New York
Assay Office from foreign coin, chiefly
Spanish. The facts seemed to indi-
cate the presence of some unusual ele-
ment in this bullion, which only n
complete analysis would reveal. Such
an analysis was made in two different
mints, and cobalt was disclosed. The
trouble experienced in the New
Orleans coinage was attributed almost
entirely to the zinc
No less than ten different metals
ordinarily enter into the composition
of gold bullion. These metals are
gold, silver, copper, iron, platinum,
lead, bismuth, arsenic, anthony and
tin. OF the five last-named metals
there is barely n trace.
The presence of zinc, nickel and
cobalt is unusual in gold bullion
When they were found in the New
Orleans half eagles, the fact was re-
called that the Spanish gold from which
those eagles were coined had not been
refined in this country, the natural
supposition being that it was suitable
for coinage. The mint at Philadelphia,
which had been working on this same
Spanish bullion, had an unusual mum

Elephants az Beasts of burden.


As beast of burden the elephant is
very largely employed in India, Bur
nah, Ceylon, Sumatra and South
eastern Asia, and as such it is found
to be patient, intelligent, industrious
aud most effective The average ele-
plant will "walk away" with n load OF
half ton rs though unburdened. In
Burmah they are employed for drag
ging logs mp from the river and stack
ing them in well-regulated piles in the
bank. This they do with human pre-
cision, and butt away at the end Of a
log until it il flush with the pile,
with an intelligence that is almost
startling. In Perak they use them for
carrying loads Of tin from the mines;
in India they are employed for bear
ing miscellaneous burdens, and, OF
course, their great strength is often
employed for removing obstacles be-
yond ordinary horse power. As n
rule, horses are afraid Of them, and I
remember once, while riding from
Dagshai TO Simla, having TO bliudfold
my horse before I could get him 20
pass three or four stately elephants.
1t was, OF course, at q particularly

the CHAT would have ended my sublu-
nary tolls. The elephant is kind and

The peanut is coming into greater
prominence every year, as n factor in

and there is hardly any limit to the
predictions of the uses to which it may
be put At the same time, the terri

much to hope that it soon may become
a really important cropi in this country.
Peanut oil is now highly valued in
Europe, and peanut flour, said to be
extremely nutritious, is used extern
sively in Europe, especially in hos
pitais. An oil factory, with n capacity
sufficient to use five tons of peanuts
daily, has been established Mt Norfolk.

amount to 235 gallons of refined oil, Mt
one. dollar per gallon; 175 gallons of

of flour and meal Mt two cents, and $500

Fascination of the Other side.

There always seems to be pecul-
lar fascination about the other side of
the road. Let the cyclist be getting
along never so gayly, the chances are
that unless he he one of long expert
ence he will every now and then be
observed to change sides, in the hope
of securing better surface. There must
be reason for this state Of affairs. and
while it would seem to be anything
but clear, yet it appears to us that the
reason is so simple as TO escape notice.
The inequalities of the road just un.
der ones wheels are not only felt, but
clearly seen, they being so close al
hand; while the inequalities on the
other side of the road are farther dis.
tant, so that they are not so distinct,
while they are not felt at all. This is Ger.
tainly one OF those cases where distance
lends enchantment to the view, "a will

An Air jam.

A curious state of things was OBJ

of lack of ventilation. For stretch
of more than two miles there is only n
single ventilator, which is entirely

through the tunnel compress the air
within like that in the gun barrel of n

that on several occasions the cars were
raised bodily from the tracks by the
pressure of mir and gas and the passen-
gers were almost suffocated. Steps
have been taken to increase the num-
Der of air shafts, so that there will be
Mt least ten of these in each mile, and
