terry Company, both of whom employ
greater or less amounts of Maryland clays
in the manufacture of their products.
One of the largest and most complete
exhibits is that relating to the clay in
dustry of the State. More than 100 types
of Maryland clay are shown in the raw
and prepared states as used in the various
clay industries. These may be classed in
two groups, the friedrich clays and the
common brick and pottery clays. Among
the first group are representative exhibits
from various sections of the State, includ-
ing the Carboniferous fire. .clays and the
famous Mt. Savage friedrich made there
from by the Union Mining Company, and
the various types of fre-clay products
made from the residual clays of Anne
Arundel and Cecil counties by the Balti-
more Retort and Fire Brick Company,
and the Greenhill Fire Brick Company of
North East. Associated with this exhibit
is an important display of enameled brick
made by the Mt. Savage Enameled Brick
Works, class of products now being
used for exterior and interior finish of
public buildings, The exhibit of face
and common brick is very large and is
made by the Baltimore Brick Company
and the Washington Hydraulic and
Pressed Brick Company, the latter having
constructed beautiful fireplace from its
Maryland product. Other important ex-
hibits of this group are made by the
Conococheague Brick and Earthenware
Company of Williamsport, the Queen
City Brick and Tile Company of Cumber-
land, and the Frederick Brick Works of
Frederick. Attention should be called to
the large and beautiful exhibit of terra
Gotta made by the Burns and Russell
Company and the Baltimore Brick Com
pany, fine example of the work repre-
senting in relief the Great Seal of the
State of Maryland. The Maryland ex-
hibit of clays and clay products is far
greater than that of all the other states
represented at Charleston combined, and
brings clearly before the public the i'm
portance of Maryland as clay.producing

Awarded a Silver rledal.

John L. Good, of Oxford, Pa, the
popular brakeman on Baltimore
Central passenger train, has re-
ceived papers from the government
stating that he will be awarded a
suitably engraved silver medal by
Congress, for courage displayed in
saving from drowning nine boys
on July 4, 1900. On that day a
party of eleven boys from South
Wilmington was sailing on the
Delaware river when their boat
was capsized in squall. Two of
the party were drowned. Good
went to the rescue in his small
-naptha launch, and saved nine of
the boys by their clinging to the
sides of his boat, the craft being
only large enough to hold three
persons.

and department where highway methods
are shown. thousand square feet of
floor space and over 1000 feet of wall
space, the windows filled with transpar-
encies, are required to hold the exhibit
The most comprehensive, ingenious,
and artistic feature of the display is a
great pyramid of Maryland building aud
decorative stone. This occupies square
opposite the entrance to the Mines
Building, the chief quarrying interests
of Maryland having cooperated to produce
the beautiful effect it realizes. One view
of this pyramid is seen in the illustration
here printed. Handsomely turned col
umns of granite, marble, red sandstone,
and serpentine stand at the four corners
of the pyramid which is capped with a
beautifully polished block of Potomac
marble. More than so other types of
rocks are represented by large cubes,
polished on one side, that are exhibited
tier above tier, the bottom of the pyramid
being supported by four great risers that
show the distinctive types of Maryland
granite. All of the leading firms en-
gagged in the building-ston trade have
their products represented. Among them
are the Maryland Granite Co, Guilford
and Waltersville Granite Co., Schwind

Associated with this exhibit is a large
collection of Peach Bottom slate from
Hartford county, exhibited by the various
Maryland slate companies, and also large
polished slabs and specially designed
blocks of various rocks suitable for build
ing and decorative purposes. Taken al
together it is the finest exhibit of build

by any State.
One of the most beautiful features of
the exhibit is the display of pottery from

SOME QUEER UNIFORMS.
Wear the StranSeSt Kind
of Clothing.
Philad alphia.
3rd month 16t 1

Col. Patten says that the military
occupation of Alaska presented new
problem as to the particular clothing
needed to comfortably protect the
men in garrison or on the trail from
the rigors of that trying climate. The
fur and other heavy clothing fur
nished troops at the most northern
posts in the states being manifestly
inadequate for the purpose, supply
list of extra heavy clothing was made
up for Alaskan service. The cost of
this extra supply per man was about
$50, and the secretary of war author
lied that amount to be added to the
clothing allowance of enlisted men
serving in Alaska, reports the Wash
ington Star. Based upon experience,
it has been found advisable to elm
mate from future issues for Alaska
Mackinaw overcoats, shoe and boot
pacs, felt boots, wildcat caps and
sweaters. Mackinaw clothing not hav-
ing proved entirely satisfactory, es-
pecially in severe weather, a double
breasted canvas, blanket-lined pea
jacket, blue in color, with trousers of
the same canvas, but having lighter
weight blanket lining, has been de-
vised as more fully meeting the re-
quirements of the country and will,
it is believed, eventually supersede all
the Mackinaw garments. A muskrat
cap of improved pattern forms part
of the clothing shipped to Alaska this
year. The earfiaps in front are ex-
tended to cover the cheek bones, a
small detachable fur strap serves to
protect the bridge. and end of the
nose from freezing, while the lower
corners of the flap lap over and fasten
by means of snap fastener so as to
cover the chin.
For field or trail purposes a gar
ment called a parka, made of blue
denim, having hood trimmed with
wolfskin and a lining at the cuff of
the same kind of fur, has been spe-
cially manufactured and furnished to
meet an existing need not filed by
the outer garments heretofore sup
piled. The muskrat mittens hereaft-
er to be furnished troops in Alaska
will have the lining sewed in only
at the cuffs so as to enable the wearer
to pull it out and dry it when damp
from perspiration, which frequently
happens. The regulation heavy
woolen underwear worn by troops in
the states being found from expert
ence to be too light for proper pro-
lection in Alaska, heavy feece-lined
garments have been specially pro-
cured to afford a greater amount of
warmth during the severest portion
of the year. Owing to the scarcity of
transportation facilities and the diff
Guilty of communication with the
posts in Alaska, it has been deemed
advisable to keep at least one years
clothing supplies ahead of require
ments. In addition a reserve depot
has been established at Fort St. Mi
chaels, well stocked with all articles
of clothing, equipage and materials
essential to the climate, which can be
drawn upon at any time much more
expeditiously than by acquisitions to
the United States. By this means the
troops stationed in Alaska have been
and will continue to be adequately
furnished with necessary clothing
supplies.

NHE Maryland exhibit iu the Mines
Building at Charleston is pro-
nounced by discriminating Wis

West Indian Exposition to be by far the
best the State has ever made Part of it
was seen at the an-American Exposition,
Buffalo, where it was awarded the only
G. Id Medal given to any state for its
general display of mineral resources. 1t
was regarded as the most comprehensive
and instructive exhibit of its sort at
Buffalo. In Charleston it is shown with
many additions and improvements, and
easily outranks the exhibits of all the
other states represented there. 1t was
prepared for the Maryland Commissioners
as it stands, under the direction of Dr.
VIM. Bullock Clark, the State Geoogist.
Thoroughly representing our mineral
resources, no work the Maryland Survey
has done will be productive of greater
benefit to the State. The full meaning
is made clear by a descriptive pamphlet
entitled Maryland and its Natural Re-
sources" This contains in less than 40
pages more or less complete statement
of Maryland's natural wealth Thousands
IF copies have been distributed at Buffalo
and Charleston, and the Survey is con-
family answering requests for it from all
parts of the country
The exhibit embraces comprehensive

CHAPTER vi
Paradise Lost.

Probably In all his adventurous life
up to date young Rhinelander had
never before experienced such a chill
as beset him when he made this as
founding discovery, and saw his hated
enemy apparently quite at home in
the apartments occupied by Hildegarde
and her aunt. The familiarity with
which she received Conrad, the lack of
conventionality, declared that they
must be related in some way.
And If so, what must follow?
His very blood ran cold at the
thought-this fair, angelic creature
connected with ties Of kinship to the
family, father and son, whom he had
such reason to curse!
The idea was appalling,
In that minute of time Paul had as
severe a mental struggle as comes to
most men.
He conquered his weakness, too, and
resolved to meet the emergency lust
where he stood
There had been time to leave the
house and avoid the encounter but
Rhinelander was not the man to shirk
q duty, no matter at what expense to
his feelings.
And when the lady entered, present
ly, with apologies for keeping him walt
ing, Paul was himself again, resolved
to play his part to the bitter end, no
matter what the cost.
After a few minutes conversation
the good lady begged him to excuse
her for a brief interval while she
brought her niece into the room, say
ing she knew the young people would
be friends since they seemed to have
many views in common.
The time, then, had come the fate
full moment which but a short while
back he had been anticipating so
eagerly, while now, alas, he dreaded it
still more.
He felt his courage oozing from his
finger tips when Hildegarde entered
with her aunt, and he saw the sudden
wave Of crimson that suffused her face
and neck as she caught first sight of
him.
All! that telltale color would have
brought amazing satisfaction to Paul
but for the wretched discovery he had
made.
Then he saw Hoffman, bandages and
all, looming up in the doorway. Paul
was quite composed and ready to give
and take fully as cheerfully as he had
done when, sword the Saxo-
