FEW NEW CASES OF TYPHOID.

Dr. Wright Said Last Night That Few
 Gases Have Been Reported to Him
 Lately.
 In an interview with Health Officer Wright last nighJ he stated that only very few cases of typhoid fever have been reported to him lately, and that he believed nearly all of the patients who have survived the disease during the recent epidemic were on the road to recovery. The late heavy rains have not brought out any new cases. and it is fair to believe that New Haven Is as healthy as any city in the state.

Terrific strides have been made in
iron mining in the past five years.
An article by Walden Fawcett in the
Century Magazine enlarges upon some
Of the more striking achievements in
that industry. Twenty million tons,
which constitute the yearly output of
the Lake Superior region at the open.
ing of the new century, is more than
double the product Of any other iron
mining region in the world during any
single year in history. The first ore
diSgers went to work there nearly
forty-fye years ago, and yet one-third
OF all the ore which has been pro-
duccd there during the four and a half
decades has been mined since 1896.
What might be termed the financial
side Of the iron-mining industry easily
constitutes one of the most interesting
phases. Here is a commodity which,
in its raw state, adds nearly $50 &c.,
600 to the wealth of the country
every ycar-an aggregate greater than
tina OF the gold and silver mines of
the nation. There are mines in the
territory bordering on the worlds
largest fresh-water lake, which have
a profit of $1,500,Oo0, or half as much
in single year netted their owners
again as the authorized capital Of the
company controlling them, and it is
nothing unusual TO hear of a mine
which has paid for itself in a single
season.

Oil wells are sometimes struck in
strange places. Possibly the would-be
funny man who once remarked that II
YOU stuck a cane in the soil of Cali
fornia it would sprout and blossom in
a season, would now assert that they
are growing derricks in their yards,
At any rate, the derricks are there.
Oil was recently struck at Los An
geles, and now the people are drill
ing wells and erecting derricks in their
yards. A derrick can hardly be said
to be an ornamental structure, but a
good oil well is a profitable thing,
and the people are willing to endure
the unsightly derricks for the posi-

If the development of a chiIds habit

Facts About the Rabbit Pest.

New Zealand's rabbit pest can be
appreciated only by inspection of the
figures submitted by the Secretary of
Agriculture of that colony for the
year ended July, 1900, and recently
published in his annual report. He
states that during the year ended July
/, 1900, 5,152, ST. rabbits and 7,744,G3
rabbit skins were exported, as against
4214,962 rabbits and 6,504, 1S9 skins
shipped the preceding year.
This increase in the number of raD-
bits killed is, in his opinion. not an en-
couraging sign, but rather the reverse.
The inspectors of stock for the various
districts report that phosphorized pol
lard, when carefully laid, is the most
effective means of stamping out the
animals without injury to stock. II
appears, however, that careful super
vision is necessary in the use OF this
poison to produce good results.
Other methods of dealing with the
problem, which are not so effectual as
the use of poison, but which have the
advantage of leaving the dead rabbits
in such condition as to be Salable, are
trapping, shooting and hunting with
ferrets or dogs. For comparatively
small enclosures wire netting is with
out doubt the best means of dealing
with rabbits. and every year sees an
increasing quantity of it being erected,
It's great expense, however, prevents
its being applied to large farms or
raupaS

Coal Famine In chicago.

Chicago, Dec 2o.-Chicago is facing
coal famine and fifteen degrees below
zero within twenty-four hours is pre-
dicted by the weather bureau. Through
out the entire city big consumers of
hard and soft coal are begging shippers
to supply them but without avail.
Severe weather and floods through the
coal mining districts have tied up rail
roads to such an extent that shipment
is almost impossible. To add to the
serious shortage railroad companies are
exerting their prerogative of confis-
eating car lots of coal as fast as they
arrive here and putting them to
their own use Large business houses
suffering severely for the want of
coal and many concerns are hampered
by reason of insufficient steam power.

FUEL FAMINE IN CHICAGO.

RAILROADS coNFtscATE COAL.

Chicago, Dec GA crisis has been
reached because of Chicago;s coal fam
inc as the cold weather continues

the largest merchants and manufac-
turers Elevators were actually closed
in some of the skyscrapers, while ten
ants of some of the office buildings
worked in their overcoats account
of lack of heat Apartment building
occupant building occupants suffered
because of a shortage of steam, while
many factories and industrial institu-
tions perfected arrangements for closing
their plants today begging coal to keep
the buildings warm until now.
There is a shortage of cars ON all the
railroads entering Chicago, and the
capacity to handle coal is reduced by
the inc1emency of the weather The
railroads are confiscating entire train
loads and the local dealers see little
signs of relief.
Springfield, Ohio.-Springfeld is
facing a serious fuel famine, the worst
in its history There is not carload
