A woMAN's RAILROADS.

sFstcEi CT Railways Ia a Florida CitF
Owned mad Managed by a Woman.
There ia an electric system Of rail-
ways in Tampa, Fla, which should pos
sess more than ordinary interest for the
ladies throughout the country from the
fact that il is practically owned and
operated by a woman. Her name Is
Mrs. Chaplin, and there is not a detail Of
the operation of the railway that she is
not thoroughly familiar with. The sys-'
TEN which she owns Is practically a belt
line, and every place of interest in
Tampa is touched by it. Some Of the
routes are of much beauty, and one
which runs from the heart of the city
10 Ballast point, n distance of six miles,
is full of picturesque and other attrac-
tive features. On this particular line
observation or double deck cars are
used, and nearly everyone takes seats
on the upper deck under an awning
On account Of the mnny curves in the
route the cars are run at q slow rate.
which is q matter Of satisfaction. rs il
enables the passengers to more thor
oughly enjoy the beauties CT the pine

groves and the glimpses Of Tampa bay,
which are obtained through the woods

SHE FOUND HER POCKET.
Is Doing for the Ad-
vnaced Woman.

The wheel has done a good deal for
the physical development of the new
woman. A little incident that hap
pened the other day on upper Nine
teenth street gave interesting proof of
this. A sweet-faeed woman with sill
vered hair aud clad Ia plain gray dresa
was riding slowly along when she saw
ahead of her a small boy pushing along
on tricycle. and towing a little blue
cart tied with string to the axle OF
his vehicle. There were more young
STEERS further up tho street, and the
,ittlO chap ves looking ~ them and
trying to put on speed TO reach them
\ smile oyerspread the face OF tho sill
ver-haired woman, and a sudden
thought seemed to occur to her.
She rode a LITTLE slower. held tlR
hRDdlebar with one hand and With tIs
other found the pocket IN hcR dresa
Skillfuily she guided her bicycle close
to she little rcd cart, and a. she reOched
il the dlsengaged hand drew from the
pocket a big, round, red apple, which
she deity dropped into the little cart.
The boy did not hear IL, and kept ON.
The woman rode past, then turned and
came behind, riding slower than be-
fore. The youngster at length reached
his playmates and dismounted.
AS he did so he saw his prize and
jumped for It, then looked wonderingly
around 10 see where it came from.
The lady with the silver hair watched
him as she wheeled past, and evidently
had her full reward in the child's pleas
IRE and astonishment.
But the marvel to the man who saw
il from tho sidewalk was how a woman
could find her pocket on a wheel

OLDEST AMERICAN MINE.
IL Supplies Cobalt and Nickel Used
in Amor Plate for Ger
nattleahips. .au


Every battlcship made in the United
States must draw upon Missouri for
part of its material Down in Madison
county is the famous Mine Lamotte,
which furnishes nickel and cobalt nec-
cssary in the construction of every mod
ern ironclad vessel. There are no other
nickel and cobalt bearing mines in this
country in operation. 1t would indeed
be heirony of fate If the property which
was once owned and operated by Spain
should now supply the material most
necessary in the structure Of the war
ships built to fight her.
Mine Lamotte is said to be the oldest
mine in the United States. For over a
century II has been turning out about
the same amount of mineral. When ii
was first opened what is now the state
of Missouri was then a Spanish posses
sion. It is rich in the quality of nickel
required in the manufacture of armor
plating. Manufacturers find it neees-
sary in the composition Of the Harvey
lied steel used on tho ships, and so long
as that quality of armor plate IS used

Products of the mine will. be on ex-
hibit at the Omaha exhibition. Speak
ing Of the mineral produced there.
David T. Day says:
Among the interesting exhibits
which will be collected from Missouri
will be the several unique products OBJ
tanned from Mine Lamotte. 1t is the
only place in the United States at the
present date where nickel and cobalt
are being produced from native ores.
If all varieties Of products Of the mine
are shown it will be very interesting
and instructive exhibit In itself"
Citizens of Madison county are urg-
Ing that the products of the mine should
be exhibited because its history IS coin
cident with the history Of tho section
OF The country which is most inter
ested in the trans-AIlssissippi exposi-
don.

lie 20 Destroy Its Insects.
Aletter from Prof Lawrence Bruner,
now in Argentine Republic, says that
the merchants committee there wishes
him to put in six months IN addition
20 the year he contracted for TO study
the locust plague and devise remedies.
In the Buenos Ayres Herald Of Decem-
Der "a appears an article taken from
Prof. Bruner's preliminary report to the
merchants committee. Some extracts
are given to show what the American
scientist has accomplished in his impor-
tant work:
"The destruction of the winged in
sects as carried on by the government
commissions during the past four or
five months has been very satisfactory
in its results. At least $4,000 tons have
been destroyed as near as ! can Judge
from the reports placed at my disposal.
Allowing 400,0 900 insects TO the ton, this
would give a grand total of 12,0Oo,oo0,-
COO, or sufficient TO cover 400 square
miles of surface so thiclly that there
would be ten locusts on each square
yard II in estimating we allow one
half 10 be female and each female to
have deposited 100 eggs. then sufficient
locusts have been destroyed 10 have
covered possible 10000 square miles.
To this destruction of winged Insects
we must add at lsast 10000 eggs that
have also been destroyed
ITO say that all this reduction in the
number Of locusts in the country means

extreme. Why, II this same class Of
warfare can be kept UP during the nest
few mouths-and cannot see why II
cannot-the pest will be nearly or quite
in the power of its natural enemies in
side of another year. This. too, with
out disease.
"But this Is not enough. We should
SEQ that IL is not only brought within
the control of its enemies but that II
is entirely eNterminated from the coun-
try. so that It's natural enemies cun de-
vote their attention TO some OF the
| other locusts or grasshoppeTs that are
showing q tendency TO increase in va
rious parts of the republic. and OF
which six or seven kinds have already
come TO my notice"
From the study Of the habits Of tho
locusts. Prof Bruner has recommended
that the destruction be actively car
ricd on when the yopg are just
hatched, as they then pile up about
roots Of plants on the ground. Wire
brushes. whips, fails, paddles and
shovels ore quite effective, as also are

Knives which arc cleaned either on 9
board or in a machine soon get a
scratched appearance, and in time the
edges of the steel show decided signs
of wear and tear. To make table
knives last for years, and to keep the
surface bright, there is nothing better
for cleaning them than the old-fash-
ioned method OF cork and emery
powder. The smooth end of cork is
dipped into a saucer containing some
knife powder, and then the blade Is
brislSly rubbed with the cork. first on
one side and then on the other, until il
is perfectly clean and bright. The
handles of the knives should never be
placed in hot water. and any stains
should be carefully removed, as soon as
they are noticeable, by rubbing the
handle with a little fine table salt mois-
tened with lemon juice. Wiping ivory
