RAILROAD LINE IN ARCTIC.
Remarkable Road Which Has Just
Been Built to Develop SWed-
ish Iron Mines.

Samuel Hill, son-in-law of James J.
Hill, and himself prominent in rail
road circles, has just returned from
abroad with remarkable accounts of
the new railroad being constructed
in northern Sweden under the arctic
circle.
There have been extensive discov-
cries of iron ore in that region, he
says, and the new road now extends
$50 miles from the iron range to the
Baltic sea. In the other direction a
railroad is being graded and will be
finished within a year that will en-
able this ore to be shipped to Atlantic
tlde-water. Mr.. Hill says that. un-
like the Minnesota ore. which is as
coarse as gravel, the Swedish ore is
as fine as sand
When we remember" says Mr..
Hill, that the discovery of soft iron
ore in Minnesota affected Britain's
trade more seriously than anything g
that has happened in 20 years, the
wonderful possibilities following the
shipment of this ore across the chan
mel to England become apparent

HAS FAITH IN HIS BOAT.
j. p. Holland Says the Day of the
Submarine Boat Has Come
Available for Passengers.

j. P. Holland, inventor of the sub
marine boat, gave before large gath
ering of students and friends of Man
haitian college, New York, the intro
ductory lecture to course in naval
architecture which is being estab-
lished in that institution. Speaking
of the submerged boat, he felt sure
that it's day had come. Six of his
submarine boats had been ordered by
the government and, though made
quate in number for the protection
of the long coast line, they would,
however, promptly and efficiently deal
with any attacking fleet. Other ma
tions were also equipping their navies
with this naval arm.
Besides it's utility in defense and
attack, Mr.. Holland affirmed that the
submarine boat was eminently fitted
for passenger traffic. For trans
oceanic travel, however, it would be
a commercial failure. but for short
passages it would be invaluable The
nasty seas that run between Dover
and Calais or between Holy Head and
Dublin would no longer be the bug
bear of tourists, for the boat would
keep steadily on it's way unaffected
by the storms and waves that rage
at the surface.

What is claimed as new species
of fowls are being raised by Con-
stable Lineas Perkins, chicken fan
cier of Newcastle, Pa. His hennery
is located in the Sixth ward, near an
asbestos works, and the chickens are
fed on asbestos siftings. People who
bought eggs from Perkins complained
that they did not cook well. Fire had
little effect on them. When eaten
raw they seemed to be all right, but
they could not be boiled or fried prop
erly. Some young chickens were
hatehed from the eggs, and instead of
having feathers the new brood is
growing a covering of down that re-
sembles asbestos. They are unlike
anything ever seen in the chicken
line.

by Mr.. w. Butler Duncan. Jr.. its man
ager. Mr.. Duncan has come to the
conclusion that Eagle would be an ap-
propriate name for the new vessel. Ee
has not yet fully reached decision IN
the matter, but Eagle has national
ring about it, and it is not devoid Of
meaning. Some object to the name
on the ground that it is too short for
such a big boat. but that is nothing.
It really stands for size, strength and
speed, and the bird is the national en-
blem of the United States, which is a
great deal

TO TEST GATHMAN GUN.
The Target to BE Used VIII Repre-
sent a Battlcship of the
Iowa Type

All arrangements for the test OF
the Gathman gun at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds have been made by
the joint board of army and navy
officers, and it remains now only for
congress to provide the necessary
money to conduct the experiments.
Naval Constructor Bowles has sue
ceeded in designing target which
will represent battleship of the
Iowa type in resisting power This
will be placed in shallow water so
that the effect of each shot may be
ascertained without delay.
The target will be a steel barge COW
cred with 12-inch Krupp armor, much
better. in fact, than that on the Iowa.
The sides will be braced and support
ed to add to the resistance qualities
OF the structure. In providing for
the use of such target the board s
purpose is to test the effects of pro-
jectiles thrown from the Gathman
gun on an armorclad of the first
class under conditions approaching
as nearly as possible to actual battle
at sea. To test the destructive en-
ergy of the gun on land modern
armored turret will be used as a
target.
The board has arranged to fire 20
shots, which will determine the de-
structive energy, accuracy and safe
ty of the gun. To conduct the tests
more than 100000 will be needed, and
it will be necessary to secure special
appropriation from congress. Six
tons of wet gun cotton will be used.

AMERICAS CUP IN DANGER.
Realize New Challenger Will
Be Formidable Foe.

The conviction among yachtsmen
on this side of the Atlantic that Sir
Thomas L1pton's challenger for the
menace to the continued residence of
the famous trophy in this country
has grown with the cabled reports
from abroad concerning the elaborate
preparations being made for the
building of the new challenger, Sham
rock II. The reason for this fear is
set forth in a letter by Designer
Clinton H. Crane, of New York city.
He says in part:
'"The fact that the Shamrock II. is
building at Denny's yard at Dunbar
ton does not seem to have excited the
interest of yachtsmen in this country
that it should have done, perhaps, be-
cause it is not known that this is the
first sailing yacht that the Dennys
have ever built, and that the Dennys
have the only private model testing
tank in the world-two very sugges-
tive facts. 1t is known that the
speeds of warships and merchantmen
of unusual model have been predicted
with absolute accuracy. after expert
ments in such tank
W. Butler Duncan, the prospective
manager of the new defender, when
shown a copy of Mr.. Cranes letter,
declined to comment on the compara-
tive thoroughness of the preparations
made by the challenger and defend
ers of the cup.

MAMMOTH TEMPLE IN CHICAGO
Good Will Promoter Sees in Gold
Strike an Answer to
Prayers.

| A rich vein of gold ore has been
cut by the Good Will Temple Gold
Mining and Milling company in the
Cripple Creek district. This means
that Good VIII temple, the largest
church ever projected, will be built
IN the near future in Chicago. This
| is the realization of the aim of Rev, J. !.
s. Bitler's life, and he believes is the
direct answer of ten years Of pray
ing. Mr.. Bitler is at present conduct
ing revival meetings at the First
Methodist Episcopal church at St.
Joseph, Mo.
About ten years ago Mr.. Bitler saw
IN vision mighty church in large
city built for the masses. Since that
time it has been the object of his life
to build that temple. He discovered
no means, however, with which to
carry out his plan until year ago
last August, when he met A. j. Whar-
ton, rich mine owner of Colorado,
who gave him 100 acres of land in the
Cripple Creek district and furnished
the means with which to sink shafts.
The Good Will temple is planned to
be, when completed, the largest build
ing IN Chicago. It will be 500 feet in
height and will be surmounted by
luminous cross 100 feet in height
and so feet wide, which may be seen
Tor many miles out on the lake. The
seating capacity of the temple, ac-
cording to Mr.. Bitler's arrangements,
will be 10000.
Mr.. Bitter says that a Cripple Creek
mine expert has informed him that
there is $s,OOO,OOO worth of ore in
sight now. A site for the temple has
not yet been selected.
