MORE ENGLISH IRON.
Timely Discovery at Kent in the Dover
 Coalfield.

When the coal boring was put down at Dover about six or eight years ago, by MT. F. Brady, on the site of the old Channel tunnel works, there were indi
 cations in the cores of the presence of iron ore in the strata between 800 and 600 feet from the surface. The indiea- tions have now proved correct, says the London Chronicle In the course of sinking the No shaft q bed of valu- able oolitic iron ore has just been struck at depth of rather less than GO feet. The seam proves to be no less tia t7<alve feet thick and probably ex-
 great area, the quantity
 p4;sctically unlimited. The diam rtez e the shaft is twenty feet and the qHsn sity brought to the surface in pas---.g through the twelve feet amounted to about $50 tons. Samples of the ore have been submitted to anal ysis, with highly satisfactory results, a washed sample of the ore yielding 45.9 per cent of iron, On visiting the col fiery works today inspected a consid- ess5le bulk of the ore and tue pans- ger informed me that a washed sample tested at the works yielded between 50 and GO per cent oa iron. The analysis shows that the ore is free from sul- phur and phosphorus The ore is stat ed to be of much richer quality than the Wealden ironstone, worked in Kent and Sussex century ago. Prof, Boyd Dawkins, in a paper read before the British association in 1894, described sample obtained from the original boring. From this it appears that this bed of iron ore is identical with that described by Blake and Hudleston at Abbotsbury, in Dorset, where it occurs between the Kimmeridge clay above and the Corallian rocks below. It is also practically identical with the val uable iron ore worked for many years in Nestbury, Wiltshire. The ironstone presents very singular physical char aeteristies. It is composed of dark brown, shining grains of hydrated OK idle of iron, like mi1let seed, imbedded in crystalline base, partly of cal cilm aud partly of iron carbonate.

Copenhagen's War Against Rats.

So great nuisance have the rats recently become in Copenhagen that efforts are being made to exterminate them. In order to encourage the new occupation of rat hunting for profit and pleasure combined. a premium Of 10 ore per rat is being paid for every one of the rodents produced whole but dead. For the past three weeks war against the rats has been waged. In the first week 6,094 were officially re- corded as killed; the number grew to 6.616 in the second week, and for the last week it had swelled to 6,7S0 It is hoped to reach a weeks mortality among the rats of 10000 in two or three weeks unless the supply becomes exhausted in the meantime. It is pro- posed to extend the css;ttf op- eration to the whole country. The crusade has become of national in- terest.

 4 Narrow Escape.

Mr Neumann, in his narrative of Elephant Hunting in East Africa . thus tells of narrow escape from death: T as on the point of sitting down in ..-e grass, when something that looked like toad caught my eye beside my boot. Thinking I had in- adyertently trodden on a harmless rep tile, I was about to move my foot in compassion, when I noticed a black, forked tongue darting yiciously close to my right foot; and looking more carefully, 1 SAW that what I had taken for toad was the villianous, triangu- lar head of a puff adder, on whose neck had set my foot It's body was swollen as big as my thigh. By a providential chance I held it so fast in this way that it could not move its head to strike. Having my rifle with me, I put the muzzle to it's head and sent bullet through it's brain. It measured four feet eight inches in length.

Inhabitants of Loud's Island on the
 Maine Coast Pay None.

Loud's island, on the coast of Maine
 near historic Pemaquid, in the Lincoln county town of Bristol, is one of the very few places on earth where there are no taxes This island, otherwise known as Museongus, was overlooked when Maine became a state, and was put into no town or county. It is said that during the war the people cast their votes for a time in the town of Bristol until some election officer dis covered the illegality of the vote. The island was first settled by John Loud, a deserter from a British man-of-war, and his great t-grandehildren are now prominent inhabitants. By voluntary contributions school is maintained, the parents paying $4 for each child. The school term averages eight months in each year, and there is an average attendance of eighteen scholars. Catch ing bait for the fishermen of Boston, Gloucester and Portlan6 is the most profitable business Of the people, but when bait is slack in running they turn their attention to 1obstering, mackerel fishing and catching porgies for the big oil and fgtilizipg factory opposite the island in Bristol After \ successful haul Of bait large white flag is hoisted on the high ground in the center of the islapd. With a glass it may be discovered far out at sea, whence come the Grand Bankers and others like buzzards attracted by the casualties of battle. The people have comfortable homes, and arc prosper eus and eontented Like the ffsher- men of .~s. isle. they are famous for their skill as sailors.-Portland Press. RELIC P1LFERING MINISTERS.

Sir Julian Pauncefote's Title.

Sir Julian Pauncefote's title in the peerage will be Baron Pauncefote of Preston, in the county of Gloucester, England. His father was Robert Pauncefote of Preston Court. The name was originally Pauncefort, and is still so spelt by another branch Of the family, Of whom Sir Everard ..dnee- fort-Duneombe of Great Bfickhill Manor. Blatchley, is the present repre- sentative. An ancestor of both fam flies was Sir GriElbald Pauneefort Of Hasfield. An earlier ancestor, Richard Pauncefort, according to Camden, built a fair house at this Has1eld called Pauneefort Court, and his an- cestors were possessed of fair lands there in the Conqueror's time' The name comes from the French Penses- fort. In Crickhowell Church is a re- eGmbent statue of Sir lsfimwald Pauncefort and his wife, dated 1903, and a notice that the church was built and the efiigies put up by Lady Sybil Pauncefort, in memory of her husband, Sir Grimwald.

THE HiNDoO.
Generally Knows When His Elephant Is
 Planning Murder.

Few more impressive condolences can be imparted than one in which a Hin doc describes how he knows his ele- plant intends to destroy him. It is all so seemingly trivial, and yet in reality of such deadly significance. His story is so full of details that prove the mans profound understand f ing of what he is talking about that one remains equally amazed at the brute's power to dissemble and it's in- tended victims insight into the would be murderers character. And yet, from a psychological standpoint. an elephant never gives any other such in- dication of mental power as is exhib- ited in it's revenge. That patient, watehful, implacable hatred, often pro- voked simply because a man is in at tendance upon another animal (for it is the rule with tuskers to detest their next neighbors), speaks more conclu- sively of high intellectual guide than all stories, true or false, that have been told of their ability. Such concentra- tion and fxedness of purpose; such careful, unreIaxed vigilance; such per- feet and consistent pretense and, when the time comes. such desperate. unhesi- tating energy as homicidal animals ex- hibit, are more impossible without an irregular development. No one can deny that if this creature is great at all it's greatness shows itself in it's crimes. These have caused it to be worshiped in the east, where men venerate nothing but merciIess, ire spensib4e force, and where an exhfbi- tion of those qualities and traits de scribed fully accounts for the formula, My lord, the elephant!

RELIC P1LFERINe MINISTERS.

They Chip Pieces off the Washfngto
 Monument and Pay We'll for Them.
 From the New York Mail and Ex- press: Colonel Bingham, superintend- ent Of public buildings and grounds, who has charge of the Washington monument, says one of the greatest trouBles the watehmen at the monu- ment have to contend with is the chip ping of these memorial stones by relic hunters. "One of the strangest things in regard to these relic hunters" said Colonel Bingham, lis the fact that more than one-half of the men arrested for chipping off relics are clergvmen. When the police arrest these oeapoil- CTS and start with them to the station house the man will begin to ask what is the penalty and try to beg off. He is told that the fine is 2 heavy one, but that $15 security can be. put tip for ap- pearanee in the police court. Then the prisoner explains that he is minister of the gospel and meant no harm. and that he could not stand the disgrace of appearing in a police court. He ends up by giving up the collateral after generally trying to cut it down to $10, saying he has only that amount with him.

THE nENA WATER WORKS.
The Commissioners at Work-Pros- pective Bidders and Contractors
 Here

Our water works commission, com posed of S. l.. Lindsay, J. c. Jackson and J.P. Landes, is using due diligence in the endeavor to give Mena a good system of water works by making proper inquiry regarding the various systems in use; also examinations re- garding the best place to locate wells, reservoirs, etc.
 Mir. J. A. Jones, of Bay City. Mich, has been here a few days investigating with view of contracting to put in a system. ATr. Jones recommends the gravity system, or the building of a dam and reservoir at some proper place in one of the valleys in the mountains north of town, where springs are running, and pipe the water from that point to town. He also ad- vises the use of wooden mains, such as are in use at Neoshc, Mo, and other cities and proposes to take the con tract to create the reservoir and put in the entire system on a ten year's guarantee of an abundance of water.
 Mir. E. w. Maxwell, of Texarkana has been here, also conferring with the commissioners and making exami- nations with view of putting in a system by sinking wells in one of the valleys north of town where an abun- dant supply of water can be secured, and with pumps raise it to standpipe from wlich the city would receive it's supply through cast-iron pipes or mains.
 Mir. Maxwell has gone home but Mir, Jones is still here and has been out with the commissioners making ex- aminations of locations for the dam and reservoir in case his system should be adopted. The commission IS satis- fled that no trouble will be experienced in procuring an abundant supply ot good pure water.

Gold Rock From Colorado.

As result probably of the local mining excitement j. 5. Kelly, F. M. Hopper, r. NJ. Reeves and Lr. Preston believe they have a sure enough gold mine; but this time it is not in Polk county.
 A couple of months ago these gentle men "grub staked' G. W Jackson who is quite well known in mining circles here, having spent considerable time prospecting in the mountains
