a Woman in the KIondike

"The facilities for travel have worked
wondrous changes in the gold field"
says Mrs. Emma L. Kelly, author Of
"A Woman's Trip to the Klondike,"
printed in the current number of Lip
pincott's Magazine. And 1 have
planned to write down in series Of
short articles the Klondike and its
pioneers as 1 first saw them, but as
they are no longer to be seen. These
articles, the first of which appears In
the current Lippincotts, will appear
from time to time, and possibly be pre-
served in book form, published later
The wonderful Transformation that has
taken place during four years has di-
vested the far North of much of the
interest that centred about a trip into
the country and a winter there when
the Klondike district seemed to be al
most inaccessible to man. My articles
are made up from the notes taken on
the spot, and hence give an accurate
idea of the business and social life as
seen in the only remaining frontier of
American settlements"

Bricks Without Money

I had always sympathized with the
children of Israeli in their task OF
"making bricks without straw" but
ours was the task Of making bricks
with no money and no experience. With
a good deal of effort we moulded about
%, 900 bricks, and put them into a kiln
to be burned. All turned out to be
failure the kiln was not properly con-
structed, nor were the bricks properly
burned. We began at once, however,
on a. second kiln. This, for some rea-
son, also proved a failure. By this
time it was difficult to get the students
to take part in the work. Several teach
ers who had been trained in the in
dustries at Hampton volunteered their
services, and in some way we succeed
ed in getting a third kiln ready for
burning. 1t required about a week.
Toward the latter part of the week,
when 1t seemed as if we were going to
have a good many thousand bricks
within a few hours, in the middle of
the night the kiln fell. For the third
time we had failed.
This last failure left me without a
single dollar with which to make an
other experiment. Most of the teach
ers advised the abandoning Of the eff
fort. In the midst of my troubles /
thought of a watch which had come
into my possession years before. I took
it to the city of Montgomery not far
distant, and placed it in a pawn-shop.
Returning to Tuskegee, with the help
of the SIS, thus secured, we rallied our
rather demoralized and discouraged
forces and began a fourth attempt.
This time we were successful. Before
I got hold of any money the time-limit
on my watch expired, and I have never
seen 1t since; but 1 have never regret
ted the loss.
Brick making has now become such
an important industry at the school
that, last season, our students manu-
featured 100000 of a quality to be sold
in any market. Aside from this, scores
of young men have mastered the brick
making trade-by hand and by ma
chinery-and are now engaged in the
industry in many parts of the South

arts are now Practiced on a very large
scale, and naturally have affected the
whole course of manufacturing methods
during the century. Moreover. since the
introduction of dynamo current, electricity
sis has come to be employed In huge
plants, not only for separating metals
from each other, as in refining them but
in addition for separating them from their
ores, for the manufacture of chemical
compounds before unknown, and for the
cheap production of numerous substances
of use in the various arts on large scale.
Vast quantities of copper are refined and
silver and gold often obtained from resi-
dues in sufficient amount TO pay well for
the process.

duction of the metal aluminium from its
ores. Similar works exist at other places

Queen Victoria was an assiduous collee-
tor of autographs, and it is an interesting
and curious fact that one Of the most
precious treasures of her large collection
is letter written by Thomas Jefferson
to his daughter, Martha. when she was
eleven years old. Her Majesty frequently
showed it to American visitors. Although
jefferson was an uncompromising enemy
Of England throughout his entire life and
cherished an unreasonable hostility to ev-
erything British. Queen Victoria admired
him as much as any American. The sim
plicity of his life and the tender interest
he manifested toward his children SEEM
ed to touch her heart.
She obtained this letter from Mrs. Ran
dolph, the daughter of Mr.. Jefferson.
shortly after his death. At that time her
fad for collecting autographs WAS at its
height and she requested the Foreign Of
fee at London to secure for her typical
example OF Mr.. Jefferson's writing. Mr..

forwarded the request to Mrs. Randolph.
