Washington, Nov 5.-The Nicara-

treaty under which the United States
was empowered to construct an inter
oceanic canal across the territory of
Nicaragua. This action has been con-

Jerusalem, Nov. THE Church of

Christ's tomb, was the scene of san

The dispute arose on the question as to
which community had the right to
sweep the church. Troops had been
posted in the vicinity for several days
previous to the outbreak, but they were
suddenly overpowered by the con-

were all Christians. Bismarck once
said. eff did not believe in a future
life, with all the honor 1 have won l
would not care to live day longer"
Among the scientists and literary
men it is hard to make a selection
because OF the multitude of famous
personages to select from. Darwin,
Huxley, Tyndall, Spencer, Hackel and
Max Nordau all show agnosticism in
their works. Benjamin Franklin was
an agnostic. Kipling, Stevenson, and
numerous other famous writer's are
Christians. There is large proportion
of infidel or agnOstic writer's also.
In these latter days the church, once
universally powerful, has become split
up into number of sects too numerous
for mention. We have everything
from Mormons to Christian Scientists,
interspersed with thousand and one
other denominations; some absurd,
some lndicrOus, some fanatical and a
few reasonable. The man who can
sift this vast mass of material and get
at the truth will win the gratitude of
future generations. Out of all this
congomeration of religious orders, not
one has been able to come forward
with absolute scientific evidence that
its doctrines are the only ones that are
correct. The religion that can do this
will conquer the world. The conflict
of modern religions reminds me of the
missionaries and the savage king; each
missionary belonged to different
church and each told the king that his
the missionary y'S-church was the
only correct one. At last the king got
disgusted. and roared, "Go and settle it
among yourselves first and then 1 will
listen to you."
The proverb says, "In multitude of
counselors lies safety" Yes, but who
is right, or are they all wrong? In the
deep study of religious work always
recall those touching lines of Richard
Hovey's:
'.You to the left and I to the right,
For the ways of men must sever
And it may we'll be for day and a night,
And it may we'll be forever.
But whether we meet or whether we part
For our ways are past our knowing,
A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart
On the ways we all are going
Here's luck!
For we know not where we are going"

An hour, two, perhaps three hours
go by as the reviving exercise goes on.
The world is we'll awake now, and the
rider, having made the circuit of twenty
miles or more, dismounts before his
own threshold and mods good morning
to an early rising neighbor in rush to
catch city bound train.
"Hello!' says the neighbor, "been out
all night?"
"No, just getting back from ride"
"You idiot" grins the neighbor, as
he hears the approaching train and
breaks into a run for the station, while
the rider enters his doorway with no
very serious misgivings as to which of
the two is the real idiot. A cold bath,
then breakfast, and the world looks a
deal brighter than it would have done
had the early morning hours been spent
in bed. P. B.

stiffness of deserted village is about
him; all the world, SO far as he can
observe, is still asleep, and he alone is
looking upon nature as ..she slowly

shrubbery, and the roadway itself is
still brown with moisture. Load and

topmost bough of a nearby ee, and
the warble of the bluebir sningles
with the twitter of countless sparrows.
The cattle are still reclining beneath
the branches of the trees. The eastern
horizon is reddening bit, but it will
still be good fifteen or twenty minutes
before the sun tints the landscape with
his awakening beams, and meanwhile
the cyclometer has been clicking off

THE VANISHED SUMMER.

"And unto me, glad summer.
How hast thou flown to me?"
Gone with the bloom and brightness.
o lost and buried June!
From the hilltops thy steps in their lightness
Have vanished away all too soon.
Gone from the bright fields and meadows.
o sultry and fervid July!
The reapers have watched thy last sunbeams
Fade out in the western sky.
But Ger August's last sunset we linger
And fondly 3eseech it to stay;
'Tis the last touch of summers bright finger
But it f1ashes-then hastens away.
And the heart goes back to the summers
1t knew in the long ago.
And pauses to rest meath the willows
That shaded the bright streamlet's flow.
We weep-not for those who have left us
To walk in this valley of tears
But we think of life's lonely tomorrOws,
Its toisOme and far stretching years.
And here in home sickness and longing,
The summer has vanished away;
And we kneel in the gray of the dawning
To welcome the still autumn day.
And we know that the Father whose kindness
Has left us alone not one day,
Will not leave us to walk in our blindness
Unhelped on our wearisOme way.
And patient we walk mid the shadows
OF summers forever flown,
And smile through our tears as the sunbeams
Clean down from our heavenly home.

miles to Buffalo or Cleveland is ex-
planned by the creation of the finest
fleets of freight steamers plying any
waters. The whalebacks carry from
$500 to 5000 tons of ore at single
cargo.
The grading of ore is done at the
mine after it is loaded on cars and
before delivery to the transportation
companies. This is effected by taking
small sample of but a few ounces
from three different places in each car.
Samples from ten cars are mixed
together ready for the assayer or
chemist, who is located at the mine.
After the grading has been effected
each car is tagged with the grade of
ore it bears. The tagging of the cars
also facilitates the handling on the
dock, preparatory to loading on
steamers.
With this enormous wealth located
in St. Louis, Lake and Cook counties
how much is the state Of Minnesota
benefited? The state receives royalty
OF about one cent per ton on all ore
mined, and half of this sum is retained
by counties in which the ore is mined
It has also caused many villages of
1000 to 1900 inhabitants to spring up
Thousands of IabOrers are employed
and further benefits could be derived
by the erection of blast furnaces to
utilize the raw material at home.

Minnesota Iron
Indus stry.
NOR the last decade Minnesota
X has been making rapid progress

NOR the last decade Minnesota
X has been making rapid progress
/ and has at the present time
become one of the leading
states in the production of iron ore.
Ten years ago the center of the iron ore
industry was in the state of Pennsyl-
vania. Since then this industry has
been moving westward.
The largest deposits of iron ore are
now found at the west end of Lake
Superior in the northern counties of
Minnesota. The location is more
generally known as the Missabe and
Vermillion ranges. Ore deposits are
found from few feet below the earth's
surface to depth Of 200 feet. There
fore, we have two different methods
of mining this product; first we have
the underground mines, worked by a
shaft to hoist the ore, which is mined
with the pick and shovel; second we
have the open mine. The open mines
are first stripped of the earth's surface
from ten to fifteen feet. The Brunswick
Bessemer is about the largest of the
open mines located in St. Louis county.
The production of this property alone
in 1900 was about 100000 tons, mined
with three steam lshovels, averaging
about 400 cars per day. The output
could easily be trebled if the trans
portation companies could handle it..
Ten or fifteen steam shovels could
work to advantage in this mine, as it
has bank on two sides, each of which
is fully mile in length, while the
depth of the ore runs from twenty-five
to fifty feet, an unlimited supply. The
other open mines enjoy the same con-
ditlons as the Brunswick.
The year 1900 eclipsed all previous
records in the output. The total for
the United States was about 26 million
tons, of which Minnesota produced
ten million tons, leaving sixteen million
tons for the other ore producing states.
Western ore is claimed to be richer
than the eastern ore, but the distance
from the great iron market has delayed
it's development until within the last
few years.
The question of refining this ore at
home has long been problem. Fuel
seems to be the only hindrance, because
a greater weight and bulk of fuel than
iron is required for every ton of iron
produced. So far as transportation is
concerned, iron ore seeks coal, and
particularly coklng coal. The economy
of carrying ore distance of thousand

X outdoor and athletic life in the
past, confinement at this time
of year, behind these walls, is
indeed punishment-and we realize that
the adage, "the way of the transgressor
is hard" is only too true. There are
amongst us "cranks" of every hue;
some on baseball, golf, bicycling or
they may be Waltonites. But as it
looks to man up tree, it will be
some years for good many of us

really delightful and novel experience
let him tumble into bed early some
evening, for change, and tumble out
the following morning about four
o'clock for an early ride on his wheel.
Perhaps a ride at this hour appeals
more strongly to the lover of nature
than to the preoccupied and married
man of stocks and bonds, but any man
with soul in him can scarcely fail to
appreciate and enjoy the experience.
