Il am no longer young" said an
Alaska pioneer the other day, but /
expect to live to see a continuous
line OF railway from New York to st.
Petersburg by way of Bering Strait.
In fact. work on one of the connecting
links will be begun within a year. The
line he referred to will extend from
Port Valdez on the sea to the Yukon
river at the mouth of the Tanana.
From this point another road is pro-
jected to Nome, and If that should be
built, a railway across the strait to
Siberia might become at least a posi-
bility. If expanding trade should de-
mand such a road. neither the en-
cheering nor the financial difficulties
would be insurmountable. 1t is an
interesting thing to speculate about,
at any rate.

Near Rio Grande City, Texas, an i'm
lnense deposit of an unknown gaseous
substance has been discovered. Pieces
Of it ignite quickly and give out a
strong flame, which lasts for a remark
ably long period. 1t is said by scien-
lists that the substance is either an
unknown mineral or ordinary clay
highly charged with gas. In either
case, the value of the deposit as fuel
is immense, as 1t covers many thou
sands of acres, and is of immense
depth.

the death of the sole survivor. the ex-

s~upplanted by a renewed confession of

It is needless to state, however, that she greatly enjoyed her visit and, but for the fact that she was compelled to return east, would have been perfectly content to dwell in this land of sunshine.

Two College Graduates Laundry.

A successful laundry run on scien.
tific and economical principles is that
taken in hand by two college women AT
Brookline, in this State. The clothes
are dried In the open air whenever
possible, on large sunny grass plot
over against the park. The washing
and ironing Is carried on in a large,
well-ventilated and clean-kept build.
ing, built by the owners of the 1aun.
dry, the Misses White. and that is
not only well aired. but filled with
sunshine. One of the reasons why
clothes from common laundries are
so dlsagreeable to the sense of smell
Is because they are either steam-dried
in ill-kept rooms or on lines in back
yards hemmed in by other buildings,
when the clothes lose the whitening
and sweetening effects of the sun.
The work in this model laundry is di.
vided between men and women. The
foreman carefully experiments to find
just what chemicals and how much of
them can be used in the removal of
stains without injury to fabrics. Near.
ly all the ironing is done by hand,
and hand-work shows to as much ad.
vantage in ironing as in other pro-
cesses. There are many varieties of
helps in ironing, special boards for
bosoms, cuffs, sleeves, etc, and here,
to, the preferences of patrons as to
high or low finish on collars, etc,
heavy or light starching for various
fabrics, and for various uses-all these
things are taken into consideration.
1t is evident that the laundry deserves
to succeed. and it is doing so having
run now for three years, and gaining
a sure foothold.-Springfeld (Mass.)
Republican.
