T.rrific Eioht with Raccoon.

Charles Marshall and his son Har-
ley, farmers, living in Springfield
township, Ohio, had terrific battle
with a huge raccoon while hunting,
and as result OF the encounter Mr..
Marshall is confined to bed with a
badly lacerated face, throat and body
from the 'coon's teeth. 1t is even
doubted if he will recover, as a num-
Der of blood vessels were severed.
When Marshall chopped down a
tree in which the coon had taken
refuge a big dog charged on his coon
ship, but the latter soon got the bet
ter of the dog. Marshall rushed in to
help the canine, when the animal,
known as the swamp raccoon, pounc-
ed on him and began tearing his head
and throat. Harley rushed to aid his
father, but the coon bit him severely.
The coon was finally killed. The
father tainted from the loss of blood
and the son had to procure team to
take him home.-New York Journal.

d'Alenes Is to Be Destroyed.
Within a few weeks the original
town of Delta, Idaho, one OF the old
est mining camps in the Occur d'Al-
enes, will be no more. Every building
il. the town has to be torn down,
burned or moved away. The townsite
has been purchased by the Beaver
Creek Gold Mining Company, which
will soon start to dredge that portion
of the creek, and it has issued an or
der that every lot must be vacated.
The work of removing the town al
ready has begun. Some of the build
ings have been burned. Nearly all
the buildings were of high value at the
time of the boom back in the eighties,
but now most of them are worth but
little. Some houses have been erect
ed recently and these will likewise
have to be moved.

Science in Business.

In a recent issue of the journal Of
the British Society of Arts some strik-
ing examples of the effect of the use
of science in German factories are
given. In 1910 $4,000 tons of beet
root were crushed, from which s..
600 tons of raw sugar were produced
about 5 IL per cent. In 1860 1,500,-
600 tons were treated. and produced
$4,000 tons of sugars per cent.
Last year 100000 tons we're crush
ed and yielded 100000 tons of raw
sugar-13 per cent This increase of
quantity, as well as percentage of
product is due entirely to scientific
treatment The production OF dry
colors, chemicals and dyes in Ger
many shows a corresponding increase
in production and dividend-paying ca
pacity. which is due to the constant
maintenance of laboratories or trained
scientists, whose only purpose is to
improve and cheaper processes.

WORLDS PIG IRON PRODUCT
INCREASE IN UNITED STATES OF 9s5 PER
CENT IN A PERIOD OF THIRTY YEARS.

Washington, June CSpeciaD.-The commanding
position of the United States in the production and
manufacture of iron and steel is illustrated by
some figures published in The London CONNER
cial Intelligence" copy which has just reached
the Treasury Bureau of Statistics
The worlds total product of pig iron in 1901, 1t
says amounted 4O,40S00O tons, Of which the
United States contributed 15S7S 900 the United
Kingdom. 7,750.c00 tons; Germany. 765S.olo tons;
Russia, 100000 tons: France, 2.362.e1o tons. and
the remainder Of the world. 3,655.0oo tons Com
pairing the product Of 1901 with THAI Of the annual
average for the iYe-year period 1S6510 it will be
seen that the United States has increased its iron
and steel output far rapidly than any other
nation the figures being: United States, from
l4s4 900 tons TO 15S7S000 tons. increase of $50
per cent: the United King1om from 513S.0oo tons
7.75ooeO tons. increase of 81 per cent: Ger
many. from l.226.eo0 7.663,Ooo tons. in
crease Of 525 per cent. and the entire world. ex-
elusive Of the countries mentioned, from 21lO,001
tons to sII7O0O TONS an increase Of Z36 per cent.
An even more noticeable feature OF this growth
pointed out by the authority from which these
figures quoted is the steady and enormous
growth Of the proportion Of the worlds product
supplied by the United States and the equally
rapid decadence in the position held by Great
Britain Thirty-fve years ago the United Kingdom
produced practically one-haf of the worlds pig
from while the United States produced less than
one-seyenth Of the total; whereas in 1901, the
United States stood first in its proportion Of the
against less than two-tenths by the United King
dom, and about the same share by Germany
In the fave-year period 1861 the worlds per
capita consumption of pig iron was II pounds; in
1901 81 pounds, while in the latter year the
United States consumed ass pounds per capita, and
the United Kingdom $50 pounds per capita.
The effect of this remarkable increase in the
production of iron in the United States has been
strongly marked in its relation foreign
commerce. Imports Of iron and steel manufact-
ures in 1852 amounted ss7 976 S97 and formed 93
per cent of the total imports: in 1901 they had
fallen 81, ,s7s.7sS, and formed only % per cent
OF the total imports. On the other hand.
ports Of iron and steel manufactures have grown
during the time from .206 in 1852, to
si17sl932O in 1901. They formed in 1882 about per
cent of the total exports and 15 per of the
manufactures exported; while in 1901 they formed
8 per cent OF the total exports, and Is per cent
of manufactures exported
