Mr.. Berislawski, Russian mining
engineer, has recently discovered eX-
tensive deposits of ozokerite (mineral
waX) in the extreme north Of Finlani.
The deposits are situated along the
bed of the kemiokin river, and the
ozokerite is said to be extremely rich
in paraffin.

AMY SPENCER DALE.

Slipped into the note Eleanor found
ticket to the Beethoven society con
certs. Amy's mother had sent it very
happily, but after it had gone she set
alone in the gathering twilight, wish
ing that she had just one flower to
take on the next day to Amy's grave.
Amy would have liked me to do
that" she thought, "but still-on her
first birthady-"
She did not finish the sentence, for
just at that moment little Marjorie
Williams, who lived next door, came
running in.
20 Mrs. Dale" she cried, "Ive been
to the woods with father, and I've
brought you some flowers!" She ran
up to Mrs. Dale, and dropped into her
arms a great mass of golden rod and
blue autum dasies. Then she kissed
her and danced away home
Mrs. Dale gathered the golden rod
and jasies in her arms, and pressed
her cheek softly against them. The
next morning she took them and laid
them on Amy's grave. Strangely her
heart felt lighter than it had felt since
Amy died.
She did not know why, but when
Eleanor came, later in the day, and
kissed her again and again, and
thanked her with wet eyes for the
gift, she began to know. Never after
did she cover Amy's grave with costly
quick fading flowers.
Instead, at Christmas, and at Easter
and on Amy's birthday, she did some
lovely Kindness for some other girl for
Amy's sake. Sometimes it was small,
sometimes it was large; but always it
was something that made the girl
happier and better, and consequently
more valuable to the world.-Youth's $
Companion.

Subterranean lakes have recently
been discovered in the Eucla district,
Australia. They lie about 80 feet be-
low the surface and contain an abund.
ant provision of potable water. This
discovery is of great practical impor'
tance to this especially arid district. 1t
is of scientific value also, as it affords
an explanation of the disappearance of
certain rivers.

The famous London medical jour-
nal, the Lancet, is authority for the
statement that the essential oil that
forms the base of all perfumes is
powerful antiseptic, and possesses dis
injecting properties equal to those of
carbolic acid. A perfumed handker-
chief, therefore, may not only please
the sense of smell, but prove a guard
against infection, and the large num-
Der of people that dislike perfumes

The United States collier Sterling
was the first boat to be raised by the
new floating dock at Algiers, near New
orleans. 1t took just 35 minutes to
fill the pontoons and side walls to
sink the dock to a 19-foot depth. At
first the structure, went down slowly,
but after it had gone down till the
water was above the tops of the gang

One of the largest electrical con.
Germs Of Germany has for the past
three years been experimenting with a
system of purifying water by means of
ozone. Experience gained during this
time has demonstrated that such a
system is eminently successful, the
only question being in its commercial
possibilities. The cost of treating one
cubic meter, or about 35 cubic feet of
water, however, is only l Ia cents. In
the system experimental with the wa
ter is first cleaned by a quick filter,
the object being to remove the sus-
pended dirt. This water is then passed
through brick towers, filled with gra-
VEL. During it's percolation through
the gravel it is subjected to the action
of the ozone, which is allowed to en-
ter the bottom of the brick tower, the
water flowing in from the top. Bac-
teriologically considered the system
is a pronounced success, as in every
case the germs present have been re-
duced to far below the number permis-
sible in practice. namely, 100 germs
per cubic centimetre. Where the
raw water contained as many as 1O0,-

metre. it was sometimes completely
sterilized and in all cases the germs
were reduced to from 2 to per cubic

Mrs. Dale was relieved. She knew
that Eleanor was too sensible to sigh
very long for anything. What do
you mean by the luxuries of life,
dear?" she asked.
Now really. Mrs. Dale" Eleanor
protested brightly; then, with more
color in her face, she added. Just now

Beethoven Society is going to give"
Mrs. Dale smiled in sympathy.

Eleanor sped up the street to her

thought, $50 brave and unselfish, 1t

She turned away from tho florists

going home, past the yellowing fields
and sun-lighted trees. She had no
flowers with her. but the look in her
eyes was less sad and less lonely for
Amy.
In the last few moments of daylight
she wrote little note to Eleanor. The
girl wept tears, half-happy, half-sai
as she read:

you know, is Amy's birthday. If Amy

to celebrate it. Amy is not here, but

What War Department Says.

The War Department chaTacterizes as
silly and foolish the allegations made
by Mr. J. ". Ivey that the Government
had been led into the creation of two
powerful monopolies by creating mill
Iary reservation on St Michaels Island.
Alaska A high official stated today
that it was positively necessary TO es-
tablish St Michaels as q military -eser-
walton in 1897, when gold was first dis
covered at Cape Nome and the town Of
St. Michaels became filed with a Law
less element. Under the Federal law
the Government cannot disturb those
people already established in a place
when IL is created military reserva-
ton They can only keep others from
settling. The military authorities have
made a report TO the War Department

ordered away from st. Michaels reser-
vation.~ It seems that the man. one Gus
Brown, and his alleged wife were drunk

yicted Of having ILLEGALLY sold liquor.

appears that the wages allowed these

80 cents lower per diem than the wages
paid by certain contractors for some

Col John BiddIe, with the report OF
the Superintendent Of Repairs before
him, has forwarded the papers to his
colleague, with the following statement:
The District Commissioners have al
ways made it a practice to pay ne
chanics and iaborers the rates that are
generally paid in the vicinity for first
class work. and 10 increase the rates
when II was found that Increased pay
was generally adopted by responsible
builders and contractors
In this special case the increases
asked for gre for men employed n the
office Of the Superintendent Of Repairs
The work n this Office is usually done
during the summer months and consists
mostly of repairs to school buildings.
The work is now almost over for the
season. as two months mere viii cover
the greater art If It.
In making the estimates TO Congress
for these repairs the last years basis
of wages was adopted and a certain
amount Of money was asked for Il
the wages are increased at once the

sioners stated to Congress would be
done, would have TO be il part omitted
Il does not -eem right. therefore. that
the wages should be increased at once
At the same time the increases asked
for are being generally adopted through

No Need for Reservation

PRESIDENT WAS DECEIVED

Personally InteIegted-War Depart
ment ChaTacteTizes Talk as Foolish.

TACOMA, Wash, Sept. $50 prevent
any misunderstanding Of his position.
J. ". Ivey, former collector of customs
for Alaska, makes public signed state
ment in which he strongly criticises the
action of the Federal Government IN
creating military reservation on St
Michael's Island, at the mouth of the
Yukon River and Alexander Forest res
ervation, comprising Prince OF Wales
and other highly mfneralized isiends If
southeastern Alaska.
Ivey takes the position that by the
creation OF these reserves the Govern
menI has been led into the creation OF
two powerful monopolies for the benefit
OF private corporations and syndiCates.
He says that St. MichaeIs Island, occu-
plying most important strategetiC posi-
lions. where all freight and passengers
for Yukon River must be transferred,
should have been left absolutely free for
public use.
Charges Against Cabinet Officer.
Instead, about four years ago, through
the influence OF a certain Cabinet officer.
st. Michaels Island was made military
reservation under pretext OF maintain
ing law and order.
Several companies. already established
at St. Michaels with wharves, ware
houses. stores. and hotels. vera not TO
be molested, but orders against landing
were prohibitory against all others.
Ivey says reservation was made to
protect exclusive privileges OF cOmpa-
MES, IN one OF which the Cabinet officer
was Interested Miners and others have

These facts created such indignation
