MOcCASINS FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives Of
Powers at War for "Bangor's
Golden Slippers"

Inquiries have been received III
Bangor, Me, from persons sup
posed to represent either the Rus
sian or the japanese government
concerning prices for moecasins
IN large quantities and the EARL
est date of delivery at Atlantic or
Pacific ports. 1t is supposed that
the moeeasins are wanted for sol
tliers campaigning in Manchuria.
For that purpose they would be
eminently suitable, says the New
York Sun.
The moccasin is the favorite
footwear Of the lumbermen Of
Maine. and was first made in Ban
COR in 1851 At first only one or
two styles were made, but now
moccasins are manufactured in
great variety, ranging from slip
pers for women and children
soft as kid and embroidered with
beads-to the stout boots and lar
rigans of the Penobseot lumber
men.
Much of the sewing is still done
by hand, being LET out by the piece
10 French Canadian families IN
the neighborhood of Bangor. Al
moceasins are made Of Il specially
prepared leather, rendered gold
en- yellow by a peculiar process Of
tanning.
The common moccasin is not
proof against water, but it has
room for several pairs of stock
ings. and that is strong point in
its favor. For keeping the feet
warm and dry in cold weather the
moccasin has no equal.
The greater part Of the mecca.
sin leather still comes from the
place of its origin, Pawtucket.
K. l.. although Il considerable
quantity is tanned in Bangor.
Some years ago Bangor men es
tablished factories at Red Wing.
Mimi. and Racine. Wis.
The dainty bath slippers, which
are not really moccasins, but are
made from soft elk skin, are in
great demand ut home and abroad.
and are especially favored by tho
ladies of Japan. To which country
Bangor sends large quantities. r
now seems likely that "Baneor,s
golden slippers. as moeeasins are
called, may be Worn by the con.
tending armies in Manehuria.

JAPAN'S FIRST IRONCLAD
Her Crew Made a Brave Start, But
Couldn't Stop Her Till Fires
Went Out

That the role of Japan as a mar.
thine power is a new one is
brought strongly to our notice by
recalling the quite well authen-
ticated story of the first adven-
ture of the first Japanese iron
clad, says Country Life.
She was built in England.
While she was building her crew
were also in England practicing,
in other ironclads how to drive
her. When she was finished the
japanese seamen took possession
of her, bravely maintaining that
they were fully equal to the task
of starting her.
And that, TO be sure, they were,
for she steamed out finely The
trouble only began when she came
back TO port again. Then, when
they wanted to slow her down and
stop her, they were unable to do
so.
They had to put her out to sea
again and go on steaming her
about till her fires went out, her
engines stopped for want of
steam, and she could be towed in.
From this to having the best
mentally-equipped crews, perhaps,
of any nation seems a long step,
but it has been very rapid one.

Insect Senses.

many insects have senses which

that is only part of several acres
of such soil, and when ii leaves in
search of food it covers the nest so
carefully that no ordinary eye
could discover its location. That
is to say it is just like all the sur

wasp flies back to it without hes
