ALASKA'S TIN DISCOVERY.
An Important Addition to the Mineral
Resources of the United
States,

Is Alaska going to add to the number
and the variety of the resources which
she contributes to the country's wealth Z?
1t looks that way. According to report, a
reef of tin ore has just been discovered
at Nome which promises to be as rich
as any hitherto found anywhere in the
world. This is a metal in which the
United States thus far has been rather
deficient. 1t is found in this country in
ginia, California and other regions-but
it is not produced in any really impor-
tant quantities in the United States.
Naturally, good deal of interest has
been aroused by this report of the find in
Alaska, observes the ST Louis Globe
Democrat. The greater part of the world 3
product of tin comes from the straits
settlements and islands in southern Asia.
1t is found also in England, Spain. Ger
many, Bohemia, Chill, Peru Mexico and
other countries. America, which now
leads in the production of coal, gold, iron
and many other minerals and metals. has
a chance to take prominent part like
eddy important commodity, the discov-
cry of tin ore here in quantities like
those limited at in the story from our
northerly regions would have an effect
which would tell quickly in our indus
tries and in cheapening a large variety
of useful articles.
Alaska has contributed many millions
of dollars in furs, fish, gold and other
products. 1t will furnish vast sums in
lumber, and will be granary of the fu-
ture, for 1t has been ascertained that
wheat can be grown there over large
tracts in great quantities. Alaska has
many navigable streams, and the whole
OF the panhandle of that region is close
to tidewater. The facilities, therefore.
for cheap transportation from a large
part of Alaska are good. The population
of Alaska in 1900 was So 900, and it almost
doubled in the decade. The discovering
of the gold fields of Nome and the
working of the coal deposits in other
parts of the locality have added greatly
to the population of the province in the
past three years. Railroads are being
projected through large part of the
country, and an era of development is
setting in which promises to make it one
of the most important of United States
possessions. That $7,2OO,OOO which we
paid for Alaska third of a century ago
was one of the countrys most profitable
territorial investments.

COMFORT OF OUTING FLANNEL.
Made Into Undergarment IT Is O
Great Protection in Cold
Weather.

Pretty, serviceable, cheap and easily
laundered-no wonder housewives are
learning to appreciate more and more
the many uses of outing flannel says
Prairie Farmer Home Magazine For
cool weather nothing can impart more
comfort to tired woman than a soft,
dainty nightrobe made after some pref
ty pattern. Misunderstanding with
white silk or in shades to match the
color of the flannel will be all the trim
ming necessary. An easier way still is
to trim with the stitched fairy" braid
which can be purchased for only few
cents per bolt. The gowns may be
bought, ready-made, at a reasonable
price, but are neither so comfortable nor
pretty as the homemade.
A great protection for a woman in
very cold weather is a corset cover of
this flannel. The garment may be made
after the usual corset cover pattern and
may be ornamented by feather-stitch-
ing or fairy" braid around the neck
and armholes and shell edge of white
or colored silk crocheted into the cloth.
A person suffering with cold feet will
find infinite comfort in a pair of bed
slippers made from outing flannel. They
may be cut after a stocking pattern, fin
ished around the top with a shell edge
crocheted into the cloth, and draw rib
bon or elastic
The neatest short petticoat may be
had by making up two and one-half
yards OF this flannel in some very pretty
pattern and finishing off with narrow
lace made from one-half skein of wooi.

Inc interest now taken in the devel-
opment of motor launches and automo-
bile boats in this country makes every
new type of vessel the object of sne-
cial inquiry.
Steam requires engineers and too
technical knowledge of machinery. but
with the development of the automo-
pile great many men competent to
run explosive motors are now to be
found, and the gasoline engine is the
favorite
1t Is said that the launch business
OF the country runs into several mill
lions Of dollars annually. There are
all Kinds OF motors, mostly using gas
oline The motor generally is not
reversible, and clutch or feathering
screw is used, or the fywheel in
smaller sizes is taken in the hand and
started the other way.
The development of the racing au-
tomobile, with its attendant refining
of weight in the construction of the
motor, has provided a constantly i'm
proving motor for the driving of fast
launches. Instead of designing an en-

and builder, the modern automobile
builder chooses a type that is salts

tent chauffeur Of an ordinary auto

MANAGED A "RAISE. 4"
How Two ImprOvident Women Got
Hold of n Little Needed
Cash.

Mary, honey, l have lost our purse.
What shall we do?"
Lucy spoke with bated breath, and
both were greatly alarmed.
They were two sweet, good women of
Chicago's literary guild relates the Rec
ord-Herald, and they were on board of a
train on their way to a summer resort,
five or six hours ride from the metropo-
lis, for few days outing, and their
purse, as suggested, was a common one,
temporarily.
Why, how on earth did you do that?"
Mary whispered through ashen and
trembling lips.
i must have left it at home-on the
new piano" Lucy replied, with an at
tempt at smile for the ancient joke.
We'll, all that's left for us to do is to
go back home. We have our return tick
cts, thank goodness!"
Il am as hungry as bear that has been
alternating"
Did you ever observe that the first i'm
pulse of woman when something seems
impossible. is to wish for that particular
thing? And it is generally something to
eat
Look at my hand, Lucy. Possibly
that will tell how we are going to get
out of this"
Lucy was palm reader, and nearly all
women believe in fortune telling in any
guise.
oh! you know that won't do" Lucy
exclaimed. She alone of all the women
she knew, really doubted her infallibility
In that line, and under ordinary circum-
stances she would not have confessed it.
"Oh! go on-just may be you can tell"
Mary insisted.
Lucy took the dainty hand and in scru-
tinizing the lines instantly forgot the lost
purse. She saw something new in the
chiromatic signs that she had not OBJ
served in previous explorations along the
lines of Mary's palm.
There were other ladies and number
of gentlemen in the car nearly all of
whom quickly became interested in the
palm reading. One little mite of a wom-
an with big blue eyes ventured timidly
to ask if the lady made a charge for the
readings. Instantly bright and saving
thought flashed to Mary. AS drowning
persons catch at straws she caught it and
whispered to Lucy:
Eyes. Half q dollar"
TT is my profession" Lucy replied to
the mite.
Here's so cents Please read mine"
said the mite, extending wee little hand.
The news that lady professional palm
list was on board the train flew through
the coaches in that occult way by which
information is sometimes conveyed and
nearly every woman in that car and 9TH
er cars, as we'll as some of the gentlemen,
came to Lucy and submitted their palms,
as we'll as their half-dollars-which lat
ter were more to the point-and before
the train had reached the station where
Lucy and Mary were to alight they had
money galore.
At the station mentioned the twain left
the train with demure and cunning
smiles for each other, but with vague
regret that they had relinquished good
thing.

Parsons has a description by Mr.. S.
F. Cody Of a recent invention of his own.
an enormous kite, which has stood sat-
isfactorily some recent tests by the
British admiralty, and has been adopted
by it for use in the British navy. This
kite is designed largely for the purpose
of carrying on observations in any kind
of weather, by night or by day, during
war, though it can also be utilized in
times of peace for many other purposes
such as for towing boats up rapid cur
rents where sails or steam would be
useless, scaling high walls without lad
ders, or sending dispatches from one
ship to another in rough weather. Mr..
Cody has an enthusiastic belief in the
practicability of his invention.
