SPANS IRON ORE.

She Sells Millions of Tons 10 Other Landi
but Has to Buy steel.
The leading industrial journal OF
Spain, commenting on the fact that q
steamship had taken load of iron ore
to the United States and had just re-
turned with cargo of steel rails, de-
plores the almost entire lack of steel
works in Spain and the consequent
necessity Of importing steel into q
country that is very rich in iron ore OF
the best steel-making quality.
Spain has been the classic land OF
the mining industry since the time OF
the Phoenicians, and yet the main use
the country makes of its rich supply
of metals is to sell them to other coun-
tries. The splendid iron ore among
the mountains of the north coast lie
hematite of the best steel grade. There
is plenty of coal with which to reduce
the iron ore, the coal output in some
years being worth as much as $50, 000,-
90, but though Spain has every facil
ity for making all the iron and steel
the people need, most of the commodi-
ties are imported.
In recent years, to be- sure, consid-
cradle Industrial activity has developed
in the Basque province among the
mountains where the iron ore Is dug
out of the crust of the earth; and also
liz Catalonia, in the extreme northeast
of the kingdom, mainly at the city oil
barcelona and around it. The chief In
dustry is the manufacture OF iron and
machinery, but not nearly enough are
made to supply the demands of the
country. So Spain continues to ship
from Bay of Biscay ports thousands Of
tons of her fine iron ore to Great Bril-
tain, Germany, France and Belgium.
where it is used for steel-making
Great Britain buys more than one-half
of the ore and most Of it Is smelted In
South Wales, the chief seat of the Bes-
semer steel industry.
There is only one otner country that
is a great producer of iron ore and yet
depends upon other lands to turn this
raw material into pig iron and steel
That country Is Sweden, which how
ever, has a good excuse for selling its
ore instead of making iron and steel
of it. Sweden has practically no coal
and therefore 1t is at great disad-
vantage, for 1t is without fuel to smell
it's ores, while Spain has both ore and
fuel in abundance.

NATURAL FASHIONS IN FEATHERS.


Changes Of Cost ums Mark Important Pro-
cesses In Bird Life.
The importance of moulting in birds,
in determining the value of their plu-
mage to the collector, is well known;
but 1t is not perhaps so well known
that this regular change of costume is
an important process in the life of the
bird itself, and determines, or is de-
termined by. certain natural, seasonal
and physiological changes, which mark
important periods in the life history
of the latter. Most adult birds wear
a distinct winter or autumnal suit,
and a nuptial, summer or breeding
costume, separated by post-nuptial and
pre-nuptial mouths, while young birds
pass from the downy or natal plumage
to the juvenal or first winter dress by
a well-marked post-natal or post
-juvenal moult. The mouths occur at
regular periods. and the appearance Of
q bird before o certain day in the
spring with a summer costume is as
irregular as a straw hat in March or
an Easter costume on St. Patrick
day. Here Is the diary of typical
dresser, the common term, which DR.. ].
Wright has recently published:
/. The Natal Down-This covers the
chicks thickly. and is yellowish, with
black spots or nothing above and a
dusky area on the chin and sides of
the throat.
2. The Juvenal Plumage-This is &C
quired by complete post-natal moult
shortly after leaving the egg. Dusky
markings and bun edgings are conspic-
uous above the lower parts being a
clear white. The forehead is pale
brown, blending into a dull black at
the top and back Of the head. The
bill and feet are f1esh-colored.
8. First Winter Euit-This suit Is
gray. The forehead is white, the occi-
put black. The bill and feet are
wholly black
4. First Nuphal Costume-An en-
tirely new suit of feathers, and the
bill and feet coral red.
S. Second Winter Suit-Another en-
tirely new suit, with the bill and feet
again In black, and number of minor
changes In feather markings.
9. Second Nuptial Costume-Preced-
ed by = complete moult; consists of a
suit similar to the second winter cos
tune, but varied somewhat in stripes
and checks

Do what you can, give what you

Patience and strength are what we
need; an earnest use of what we know

At the bottom of a good deal of
bravery that appears in the
world there turks a miserable
cowardice. Men will face pow

face public opinion.-E. H. Chaplin.
The only real relief is in absolute
conquest; and. the earlier the battle
begins, the easier and the shorter it
will be. If one can keep irritability
under, one may escape a struggle to
the death with passion.-Juliana H.
Ewing.
Not till we are ready to throw our

Ant. Raise Crou. for Food

Prof. w. M. Wheeler describes a
species of ants which raise '.mush-
rooms" for food. They first cut leaves
into small pieces and carry them into
their underground chambers. Then
they reduce the leaves to a pulp. which
they deposit in heap. In this heap
the myselium of species of fungus
finds lodging, and the subterranean
conditions favoring such a result,
minute dwellings are produced on the
vegetable mass. These are the "mush-
rooms" which constitute almost the
sole food of the colony of ants that cul-
tivate them.

FREIGHT TRAINS COLLIDE
In TunneI-Cars Demolished but no
one hurI.

Two heavy loaded freight trains
came together in rear end collision
in the tunnel ut Silver run, four miles
vest Of Pennsooro. at O'Clock Fri.
day afternoon. AS a result, the B. Il o.
railroad was tied up for about twelve
hours, although the disaster resulted
in no person being injured. Train No.
81, east bound, became stalled ina
heavy grade at that point, and No. 70,
following close behind, ran into it.
The cabOosc Of No. 81 was badly
smashed aud seven cars on the rear
train were demolished, but the engine
was hurt very little. The engineer
and tiremen jumped in time to save
themselves.
A wreckIng crew from Parkersburg
worked on the wreck all afternoon
and until midnight, before the track
was cleared.
The accident, while losing a great
amount Of money to the company, is
considered very fortunate one, from
the fact that nobody was injured. The
delay to traffic meant the loss OF many
dollars to the b. & o. Il. r. company.
