Ice In the Philippines.
The fame of Pittsburg's cats has
spread to the far East and it is not
proposed to import some Of a sp cial
breed into the Philippines. The i'm
mense cold storage depot just finished
at Manila Is in need of cats and it is
the intention to supply that establish
ment with Pittsburg animals. For
years the managers of the Union Stor-
age company have been worried by
rats. At first they confined their depre-
dations to the goods in the milder eli
mate of the general storage rooms.
Here nature came to their aid and in
Flew generations the rats and mice be-
came so clothed in black fur that they
seemed impervious to cold. To rid the
warerooms of these pests was trou-
blesome task for the owners of the
storages-houses. They could use cats
in the general warerooms all right and
with success, but when they placed the
cats in the cold storage-rooms they

The damage done by the rodents was
very great and about five or six years
ago the Union Storage company expert
mented with view to finding some
breed of the feline tribe which could
live in the cold climate of the storage
rooms. 1t tried a pair Of high-bred
cats, but they soon sickened and died.
Finally pair of white felines without
pedigree were obtained and placed in
the storage-room for time and then
taken into a room where the tempera-
ture was gradually lowered. The cats
showed no i'll effects and soon could
stand a temperature as low as zero.
The offspring of these cats could stand
a temperature much lower than their
parents and their fur was much thick
err than their predecessors. A few gen.
erations later distinct breed of cats
resulted, able to stand the lowest tenn
perature ever maintained in the stor-
age-rooms. The question of killing OIL
the rodents was thus solved. The cold
storage cats are short tailed, with long
and heavy fur, the hair frequently be-
ing an inch long. Their eyebrows and
whiskers are long and thicker and
stronger than the ordinary cats. The

Ties of Jarrah Wood.

On the Interoceanic railway of Mexi-
CO a part of the track has been laid on
ties of jarrah wood imported from
Australia for this purpose. The jarrah
wood is obtained from one of the larg-
est trees of the forests of Australia,
which grows to an average height of
200 feet, and is about four feet in
diameter at the trunk. There is usual
ly an interval of $50 feet to the first
branch, or in the case of tree of ex-
IRENE hight, such as 5000 feet, as
much as $50 feet. These trees furnish
timber which is sound in every respect
there being an absence Of dry rot,
gum veins, and other defects that often
characterize large trees.

Is Mineral Here?

tits the opinion of many of our
settlers thatin many parts Of Bel
trami county there are Indications
of vast mineral wealth underneath
the surface. Mining experts have
found anmistakable indications Of
iron deposits among the hills near
Turtle lake, and other portions of
the county have sent forth rumors
of such finds. Lying so near the
gold fields of the Lake of the
Woods, and within the probable
sphere Of the Mesaba range, itI
wouldnotsurprise us to hear at any
time of the discovery of mining
prospects worthy of excitement.
Last week in Itasca county q
deposit of soft ore was discovered
at a great distance north Of the
supposed northern boundary OF
the Mesaba ore district. That it
may leai to important results is
admitted by everybody familiar
with iron mining in Northern
Minnesota.
There has been no opportunity
as yet to make investigation of
the probable Importance Of the
find; but the mere fact that iron
has been discovered north Of Vir.s
=ginia is of itself Of much signifi-
.cance. The ore deposit was struck
in a cutiwhich was being exca-'
waited for the new road, and the
channel through the elevated
ground clips the top Of the min
eral. Before striking the ore, un-
mistakable evidences of its exist
ence were found in the paint rock,
which was being taken out by the
scrapers and steam shovel. There
is no iron ore deposits anywhere
in the neighborhood Of the ore
find in the railroad cut, and the
possibility Of a new district for
the production of IRON ore is being
discussed. The old saying that
gold is where one finds it may be
true Of iron ore to a certain ex-.
