Spanish rule. If the independence of
the Philippines proves a failure the
islands perhaps might be sold, prefer
ably to Great Britain. Porto Rico
might be permanently retained owing
to its proximity to the United States
and its strategic value"
The Berlin correspondent of The
Times, commenting on the continued
discussion of the Philippines question,
says in part: ssThere can be little
doubt that no European power or COM
bination of powers would venture to
prevent the United States and Great
Britain from settling the future of the
Philippines conformity, or, at least un-
der the protection of their conjoint ma
val forces. Continental opinion would
not only speedily acknowledge the
strength of an glo-American naval
alliance, but would be practically unan-
imous against mourning the risk of the
commercial consequences of a breach
with the United States. :"

novice can understand from this some thing of the danger that the gold seek CTS who trudge over Chilkat to the klon- dike had to face.
 The building of the line is in itself triumph both of engineering and of for titude. The topography of the section over which the tramway runs is such as to preclude the possibility of con strueting an ordinary railroad line. Locomotives can climb Pike's peak; they can circle around the loop up past Georgetown to Graymount in Colorado; but when it comes to the task of going through Chilkat pass the locomotive must stand aside and give way to the tramway.
 The men who constructed the latter had to bear in mind that the supports of their aerial transportation line must be of such nature and of sufficient strength to preclude even the possi- bility of accident. Disaster in the vicinity of the ChillSat would mean the destruction of all the freight and the loss of all the lives on the train. Dur ing the construction the weather was fearful, and the hardships the work men were forced to endure were in some instances almost equal to those of Arc tic explorers.
 Stout hearts and strong bodies have at last, however, won the day, and the emigrant bound Klondikeward needs no longer dread the terrers of the Chill kat. Tn fact, the building of this aerial line is almost as great boon to the Klondilte region as was the completion of the first railroad over which passen- gers could travel to the gateway of the Pacific.

4 roofing concern in Chicago has al- ready made glass roofs possible, and the progress of invention seems likely to supply the walls in q short time.
 The new transparent roof is the re suit of the now well-known invention of the roofing tile Fifteen years ago roofs, even of the most costly and dec orative buildings, were made either of tin, slate, gravel or shingles. Of these materials slate was the standby for all pretentious structures. But today al- most every costly building has a tile roof, made of baked clay and colored to suit the decorations of the structure. The new glass roofs are made in this tile form. Each block of glass is east in mold, so that it easily fits on the 1 T-i1on foundations used for the ordi- nary tiles. Up to date, the service of the transparent tiles has been entire ly in making large skylights in roofs, and their shape in such cases has been obliged necessarily to conform to the general mode of structure of the roof But it is easily feasible to build the roof entirely of glass, instead of hav- ing a portion of tile and the rest of glass, and the next development in the roofing art is likely to be in this di- rection.
 The glass roofing tiles are made in two colors, One of them is nearly clear white, but the other is handsome red to match the tiles it supersedes But it is just as practicable to make the glass plates in any color desired. and the glass roof of the next century build ing will be the shade which best fits in 0.ith the celor scheme of the design ing architect.
 These new glass tiles are now in use on the Orrington Lunt library at the Northwestern university, the Winona Methodist church, and several build ings of less importance in this yicini- ty. Their more extended use is eX- pected by the inventor. The entire top story of building may be made by them as well lighted as a photogra- pher's gallery, and many useless attics in the present system of architecture co+Id be made valuable by glass roofs.
 In both the questions of expense and weight the glass tiles are a little higher than the ordinary articles of clay, but improved machinery and more general use will likely remedy both defects. Thus the initial step for glass houses has been talen.-Chicago Tribune.

are circulated around Q great store than the ordinary railroad. The ac- companying illustration indicates just how the miners and their outfits will be carried. Primarily the tramway is for freight, because it is in the trans porration of freight that the greatest profit lies, but passengers will be per mitted to journey with the goods oc- casionally, provided they are willing to endure the very rude aecommoda- tion that such q method of travelling affords.
 Hugh c. Wallace, president of the Chilkat Railroad & Transport com pany, fixes the minimum capacity of the road at 120 tons of freight per day. No estimate is made as to passengers. but it is the company's expectation that each day there will be carried the outfits of from 400 to 500 miners. Inas- much as 1t is estimated that fully 75,oo0 miners, or would-be miners, will try to entar the ISlondiIe the coming season by way of Taiya, one can imagine that this queer but very convenient railway Will De kept TaJief busy.
 It may seem at first that the line is very short one for so much to be made of it, but what it really accom- plishes may best be understood when it is considered that under previous con 5itions, even in fairly good weather, it has taken a miner 30 days to make the journey that the tramway makes pos sible in a few hours. It therefore saves just about month of the trip to the Elondile-quite a saving when it is considered that Dawson City is ,437 miles from Seattle.
 Men who experienced miners and prospectors in Alaska and the country north-declarc that the re- moval of this difficulty really marks the disappearance of the greatest peril and hardship of the journey to the gold fields. It will also reduce the cost of such journey oEe-third.
 Another fact of interest relative 10 this road is that it is the longest of all the tramways in existence. Heretofore there have been lines as long as three and four miles, and the length dwindles down from that to few hundred feet: so this is by far the greatest achieve ment in the tramway building line yet recorded.
 The passengers on the line will suffer 2 little from cold weather. it is likely, for on Chilkat pass the summer would seem no summer at all 10 persons un- accustomed to those northern attitudes. The blizzard that recently swept down upon the United States is a first cousin to everyday weather in Chilkat. The

At last, if reports may be credited, Q possible rival to the bicycle has ap- peared, and it is pneumatic skate, on which it is possible to travel with ease 15 miles an hour. To steel frame are attached two small forks, carrying min- iature bicycle wheels five inches in di- ameter. Special shoes are required, and a leather anklet running half way to the knee completes the attach ment. It is said to be necessary to have instruction in the use of these skates. as they arc difficult to master, and it is almost impossible to stand still on them. They can be used on almost any hard road, and excellent speed ob- tained from them. Prices are $25 to $50 per pair-as much as many bicycles If they meet expectations. and the price Is reduced, they are likely to become popular.

AN ATTRACTIVE COOK.

Her Dress Will Lend . Relish to Any
 Dish.
 Wear big regular pinafores that button in the back and have long sleeves, full bishop-sleeves that will go on over any dress, and are held around the wrists by elastic cord that may be slipped out when the apron is laun- dered. This pinafore is usually made of white or some pretty print, light-eol- ored, because it looks fresher and is just as easy to launder as a dark one. This cooking apron should be worn for no other purpose. You can see for yourself how much nicer it is to come to your work of preparing delicate dishes with an apron which you have not worn while sweeping, or doing any other work that would mean getting dust particles in it, even with great care. With the apron is worn pretty little cap made from muslin or from oclSet-handkerchief; this keeps the flying particles of four from settling in the hair, and it also keeps the hair in place. Then pinned to one side ise small hand-towel, and to the other a A-OtN1A Oti s' iOii toRN" 1CN Ni4N'f how often the fingers need wiping while you are doing even the simplest bit of cookery. If you have to step to the towel-rack every time, you take many unnecessary steps. Then you know what habit unattached holders have of getting mislaid, slipping out of sight just when they are needed. Sometimes you can't stop to hunt them up, and then you makeshift with any thing, and perhaps burn your fingers. Well, if you have the towel and holder fastened to the belt of your apron, you don't have to cross the kitchen to use one, and the other can't get away from you.
 Let me tell you something, girls: This dress is a very becoming one, and you needn't be afraid to let anyone see you in the coolling-cap and apron. My word for if, any dish you may cook will be relished when you wear this sort of costume in it's preparation; for in itself it suggests neatness, dairtiness and all the rest that goes to make dishes tempt ing and appetizing.-Sallie Joy White, in Woman's Home Companion.

tracked up by four men walking on the shore, while the remainder of the crew pole the boat. These are locally known as York boats.
 After leaving the Sea river about three miles below Sea river falls, on the downward journey by the loaded boats, which are unloaded and tracked up when going against the current, q small river emptying from Hare lake is en- tered and followed for about 30 miles in an easterly direction until the water way comes to an abrupt termination at the height of land known locally as the Painted Stone Portage, % yards in width and with a summit of about four feet midway between the eastern and western channel.
 "It is a curious fact that the exist ence of wide aad deep channel on each side of such a narrow elevation has not hitherto attracted much re mark, although it presents the singular phenomenon of two full-grown rivers or waterways, one with a current setting eastward and the other with current setting westward, each apparently without reason for existence from any drainage area, the head waters of both of which are practically at the same level.
 The western channel of the Echi- mamish (signifying in Cree the river that runs both ways is followed through the alternate wide and narrow channels for 20 miles until Rcbinson's Portage is reached, which is three-quar- ters of mile in width, with a descent to Franklin's lake of about 45 feet; thence for 50 miles the route continues through rocky gorge with a wall from TO to so feet high, past several rapids5 across Pine lake and Windy lake, to the channel leading into Oxford lake, where four rapids and one fall of five feet obstruet the passage; thence across Oxford and Back lake by Trout river to Knee lake, from which point the route lies through Jack river. with five rap- ids, Swampy lake, Hill river, Steel river and Haze river to York Factory.

departure on the proposed chain of communication. Thence northeasterly to Hudson's bay there exist navigable stretches of 330 miles, only broken by suruountable obstacles embraced in a total distance of less than 50 miles. The existing open channels are both wide and deep, and the banks are uni for1nly of sufficient height to admit of increasing the depth of water by means of dams, where this is necessary, in or der to group the rapids for canals and locks to overcome the descent.
 Tt is not proposed that a greater depth than seven feet of water shall be at present provided, as that would be sufficient to float barges of 300 tons capacity, such as have recently been constructed at Cleveland for use on the upper lakes and Erie canal.
 '"The canal is strictly popular high way upon which all vessels have a right of way, the loads upon which are regu- lated by government in proportion to cost and capacity. No combination can control the cost and transportation over its length, which depends upon individ- ual vessel owners and is regulated al together by the number of vessels com peting for the traffic. Unlike railway, therefore, it cannot be operated for the sole benefit of stockholders.
 Not only is it in itself an enormous factor in transportation, bringing goods at the lowest cost of transport, but by it's very existence it exercises an immediate and dominant influence upon railway charges, which must bear comparison with it's rates. Canals do not obviate the necessity for railroads, but rather the contrary, as has been proved in numberless instances both in the United States and in Europe. Where canals have first existed rail ways are soon built paralleling their route, competing for the traffic that the existence of the canal has created. It may be said, therefore, that canals create railways rather than destroy their usefulness.
 "For over 100 years the traffic of the Hudson Bay company between Norway House and York Factory was carried on in fat-bottomed boats capable of car rying a load of four or five tons, with crew of nine men. These boats draw from three feet 10 three feet six inches of water when loaded, and are pro vided with mast and square sails, like lighters, as we'll as with oars.

 FIRST KL0NDIKE RAILWAY.
It Extends from Taiya Through
 the ChiIkat Pass.
Some Interesting Figures of What It Is Expected to Do--It Is Prims- riIy Freight Road, But Pros
 pectors May Ride.
rconvright. 1sas.l


 The first railroad of the Klondike has been completed. It is a railroad and yet not railroad, in that it is an aerial tramway; but it will answer q great purpose, for it solves the most fearful problem of the overland jour ney to the New Eldorado-how to cross Ch;lSat pass in ease and safety.
 The tramway starts at Taiya, which is the end of the nearest part water route from the United States to the Klondike. From this point it is neees- sary for the emigrant to journey fully TOO miles over the mountains and through the pitiless Chilkat pass, where even now the way is lined with graves of prospectors in much the same fashion that the old route to California was fairly "blazed out through the desert and the wilderness by the resting places of the toilers who died while pursuing their perilous jour- ney
 It is at Taiya that the tramway be- gins. The first section runs to the mouth of what is called Taiya canyon. Thence another aerial tramway runs for distance of four miles to Eheep Camp. The third section runs from Sheep Camp over Ghillat pass and down to Crater lake, a distance of 31. miles.
 It must not be supposed that regular passenger cars travel on these lines The aerial tramway is more like the system by which the little change boxes
