Pittsburg is only a few miles from

from the Lake Superior iron ranges
where it gets most of the ore it uses.
Fifty years ago the cost of assem- bling
the ore coke and limestone for ton
of pig iron made up half the total cost
of production. At that time 1t would
have been out Of the question to use
Lake Superior ores at Pittsburg, so
heavy would have been the transpor-

of carrying ore by water and by rail
has been so much cheapened and the

it is said it is possible to convert into
steel plate at Pittsburg ore mined only
ten days before near Lake Superior
Furthermore that steel can be sold at
a profit for a price lower than foreign
manufacturers can afford to accept.

 Congeaied Water Daily
 From the Philadelphia Record: How'd you like to he the ieeman?~ Snyder, the calculating barber. was ar tiscally executing a quickstep on the razor-strop when the above little ditty 1oated in from the busy thorough fare, causing 8 smile of contempt to fit across his features. That simply makes me weary" he remarked, as with a flourish he daubed the patron s face. You hear that latest acquisi- ton in the way of slang phrases re- peated by men of every station, just as if the iceman's lot was an earthly paradise. AS matter of fact, the in- diyidual who embarks on career which involves the marketing of con- gealed moisture doesn't have to run around searching for his troubles. How many people do yoH suppose ever think of the amount of money that drips right out of the iceman's hands when the sun beams down on his heavily loaded wagon? Don't amount to much, eh? We'll, you'll change your opin- ion when I bring up few figures for your consideration. Starting out with ton of ice, estimate that melting alone causes a dead loss of about 100 pounds to the dealer. That doesn't seem much, but when you calculate that about 100 wagons a day right here in town lose that amount the fig ures are amazing. One hundred thou sand pounds at, say 10 cents per hun- dred, runs up the tidy little sum of $100. Three hundred and sixty-fve times $100 gives Us the annual loss locally of 6,500. Takes little nerve, doesn't it, to be an iceman? Then if during the summer these drippings could be collected l figure that they'd supply all the hospitals in town with ice water baths for sunstroke patients. Frozen into a solid lump, the entire years drippings would make cube as big as a teh-story office building. Then, again, the waste when the cakes are cut Is enef slous, to say nothing of what vanishes into the air when the ice is whisked clean with brush broom. But, without going into fur ther details, I think you'll agree that the man who peddles ice has enough trouble to worry him into an early grave. Tonie?"

Der of people is that of Thomas Car lyle at Ecclefeehan, which is twenty or thirty miles north of Carlisle There is no fixed scale of charges for visiting thls cottage, but as 1,205 people climbed the stairs last year and each probably left something with the care- taker it will be easily seen that here. too, is a nice little property. There are other places, more or less we'll known, scattered about in different parts of England and Wales, which Dhe tourist often visits. Shakespeare is still yeritable little gold mine to Stratford-on-Ayon. People from all parts of the world make pilgrimages to the little Wafwiekshire town in order to see the famous poets birth place. The charge for admission to the house is 6 pence but as an interest ing museum is usually visited at the same time, for which an extra pence is demanded, few persons leave the building without leaving 1 shilling be- hand them. Then there is Ann Hatha- ways cottage to be also seen. This is a mile away from Stratford, at the pretty little village of Shottery, and it is where the poets wife was wooed and won. The writer, during recent visit to it, was informed that on an average 100 people day all the year round came to see the cottage, and as each visitor pays pence $3,500 or s4,000 a year must be rade out of it.

 Duplicate Draft

Boston Special Chicago Tribune: A new scheme to defraud the banking houses of this community has been dis covered through the officials os the Massachusetts National bank. The of fieials are assisting the police in this country and those of the Scot md Yard force in unraveling the matter. The manner in which it is worked Is as fol- lows: A man enters bank and pur- chases draft, at the same tune tell ing the ,hier that he Is go, 2 abroad and would like to have duplicate drawn. He takes both of the drafts i away, and the original is either taken or sent to Europe by the swindlef
 Some bank in London cashes the orig nal draft, and the duplicate is cashed on the continent 5y some unsuspecting person. In this way the swindlers double their money Paper issued by the Massachusetts National bank was used by one of the sWindlers to secure ], S2,000 from bank in Switzerland. The man who had the transaction with the l local bank told the cashier that he was going abroad and that he would like to have the drafts in two parts. He pur. chased two drafts of s1, 1000 each. These were drawn on Lendon bank. Re- | gently word was received from London that one of the drafts marked dupli.
 cate had been cashed there. 4 few days ago letter was received from a banking house in Switzerland, stating that it had cashed the original draft for the party to whom Miller had in- dorsed it. The cashier of the Massaehu- sets National bank wrote to a bank ing house in Troy, N. Y, and asked that institution to look up a man giy- ing the name of J. P Miller, who had bought the draft in March. The bank ing house replied that it found three people of that name, all reputable bus mess men. No one of the three an- sWered the description of the Miller who bought the drafts. The Switzer- land bank will be the loser in this case, as the person who cashed the draft should have demanded the dupli- cate as well as the original before cash ing 1t.
