SIGNIFICANCE OF. OUR FLAG.

1t Stands for the American Nation,
Past Present and Yet to Come.
There is much to be said for the Amer;-
can abundance of the flag. It is a sacra-
ment Of the national lfe-an outward
and visible sign of the inward grace of
nationality. The nation is an unseen
thing. making itself outwardly visible
through such symbols. The kingdom of
heaven is within you," someone quoted to
Frederick Maurice. Eyes, and so is the
kingdom of England he answered. So
is the American republic. But it natur-
ally seeks expression in symbols, and the
flag, with us takes the place of many
symbols which are possessed by. other
symbol with which we dispense, al.
though the disposition to fuss over our
President personally has grown of late
years, and is essentially monarchical
tendency.
The flag stands for the nation. It is
the symbol of the bond which unites the
whole country, from Alaska to Florida,
from Campobello island to the Golden
Gate. 1t stands for that historic past
whose life we share through participa
,tion in the life of the nation. 1t identities
each of us with the whole American peo-
pie, near and far, past and present, and
even yet to come. It's forms are not
tuluSS VI DcduIy, lux Tic straight lue is
not the line of beauty. But they have a
historic sense which more than compen-
safes for their lack of grace.
1t speaks of the past, when the thir
teen feeble colonies arrayed themselves
against the first empire of the world, and
made the unlucky numDer forever fortu-
nate. 1t speaks of the present, when the
handful of corn on the tops OF the
mountain has grown to be forest like
the cedars of Lebanon. 1t tells us of
triumph, of growth, of unity in willing
submission to the lawful authority of
free government. Let it wave in the
daily sight of every American citizen, for
its significance is as inexhaustible as it
is broadly democratic.-Saturday Even

BUFFALO NOT IN FAVOR.
Cross Breeds Not Valuable as Cattle
to Ranehmen.

The stockmen who own herds of half
blood buffaloes have come to the con-
clusion that the buffalo was only valu-
able as monarch of the virgin prairies
and efforts at crossing them to perpetu-
ate the characteristics of the numbering
animal are on very rapid decline. There
are herds of half-blood buffaloes, but
their owners heartily wish that they
owned beef cattle, head for head.
The trouble has been found to be, aft
er years of experimenting, that the quar-
ter-blood or half blood .buffaloes are still
buffaloes so far as the flavor and texture
of their meat are concerned, and the
buffalo meat is strong and coarse, not to
be compared with beef. The hides are
not valuable. either, because the front
is rough and shaggy like the buffaloes
the Indians killed for food and the high
part is rather smooth, like a steers.
This variation of texture OF the hide
makes it less valuable than beef hide and
in less wide demand. There are no con-
siderable advantages in favor of the
mixed animal and it will in a few years
be extinct like the pure-blood buffalo,
which is now only to be found in muse
ums and some preserves. Much has been
written about the lamentable fact that
the buffalo is becoming rare, but ranch
men sniff at the idea and say they are
not a necessity to civilization.-Chi

Northwest Rich in Iron Deposits.

British Columbia possesses enormous
potential resources in her iron deposits,
but these resources must wait for com
mercial. development upon the develop
ment of those industries which stimulate
demand for iron. Sooner or later the
political reasons which led to the con-
struction of United States battleships on
the Pacific coast, for which, as we have
seen, British Columbis iron was partially
utilized, will give place to commercial
reasons connected with the development
of trade son the Pacific necessitating the
building of large mercantile marine.
Sooner or later manufacturing industries,
with the constant demand for iron, which
is their base, will be brought into being
to supply the ever-increasing market of
the Orient. When these things happen
British Columbia, with it's abundant coal
and lumber in direct connection with its
iron, must become the seat of a great
iron industry. Magazine.

thirty instruments took part in the re-

OUR CHANCE In TRADE WAR.

Great opportunities Now in British
Home and Foreign Markets.
1t is not news to the most enterprising
men of commerce in the United States
or to any of the readers of this CORE
Spondence that vast markets of Ameri-
can manufactures in Great Britain itself
and in British hands abroad now lie at
the mercy oftAmerican and German COM
petition. 1t is not news, either, to the
British manufacturers, who have al
ready begun to suffer by this competi-
ton. But it is news to the great British
body polite, and it is not strange, per-
haps,. that the general public in Great
Britain is utterly incredulOus of all warn
ings and gloomy prophecies on the sub
ject. The average Englishman points to
the undoubted prosperity prevailing
throughout the land, except in agricultu-
raj pursuits, and he laughs to scOrn Sug-
gestions Of impending evil. 1t is true
that there is work for nearly all Eng
land today, and that more business is
being done in most lines of trade than
ever before. But the danger signs are
unmistakabie, nevertheless, and all who
men themselves, read them in the same
sense.
The British public is not alarmed for
the very plausible reason that the re-
turns of British trade continue to show
a small increase in exports. The fact is
entirely lost sight of that the increase
is confined almost exclusively to coal.
while the export of British manufactures
last month. for instance, showed a falling
from the United States and Germany, on
the other hand, have increased prodig
iously month by month.-New York Sun

INSECTS IN METAL.
The Ingenious Device of a Frenchman
for Reproducing Them.

for Reproducing Them.
Did you ever see a copper caterpillar, a
silver centipede, or a nickel gnat? Yet
these and many similar objects can be
had, if not for the asking, at least for a
reasonable amount of money, at several
places in New York. Who discovered
introduced into this city by an eccentric
Frenchman who said that he had elabo-
rated the discovery of some chemists in
Paris. NJ. Paul Despotte, for such was
the mans name, declared his secret to
be as follows: He first dampened the
luckless insect, leaf or flower and then
blew on it with blowpipe. The object
thus busted was placed in an ielectrolytic
bath, and upon it the metal was precipi-
tated by the galvanic current. The OBJ
ject was then transferred to a second
bath, from which all the organic matter
was dissolved by an alkali. The metal
lie shell which remained was slightly
heated, touched with some kind of shell
lac, and the thing was done. The inven-
tor carried with him quite q collection of
these preparations. The most interesting
of all were a mosquito in gold and
hairy geranium leaf in copper.
The delicacy of the work was extraor-
binary. Under a powerful magnifying
glass the little organs which are invisible
to the human eye were seen perfectly re-
produced in metal. The discovery does
not seem to have been utilized to any
great extent so far as trade is concerned,
but has been taken up by many anna
teurs. This fall an ingefiious girl uptown
first covered the back ,.of her hand with
black lead and then plated it with metal.
She removed this, which was a perfect
cast, and used it as matrix, in which
she deposited a second coat of metal,
which she finally mounted on piece of
satin. Her hand, as may be supposed,
was pretty, and when reproduced in cop
per made q work of art as novel as it
was attractive.-New York Evening
