A Use for Reindeer Hair.

The attention Of textile manufact-
urars has been attracted by recent
reDcrt of the United States Consul
General at Frankfort, Germany, set
ting forth the adaptability of reindeer
hair or wool for the manufacture OF
,extile fabrics. The Laplanders have
long used it for the manufacture Of
a coarse blanket, but it's peculiar prop

suitable for use in bathing suits.
The hair of the reindeer is not hol-
low throughout like that of most
other animals, but is partitioned off
into innumerable small compartments
filled with compressed air. The walls
CT these compartments are SO tough
that they are not broken up in the
process of manufacture, so that a
cloth of reindeer wool consists of
millions of little pockets Of condensed
air surrounded by an impervious COW

The honesty of the woods indian
that is, the Indian of Northern Can

mer. The return Journey from DIS
tant shores must be provided for by
food stations. The solution Of these
needs is the cache.
And the cache is not literal term
at all. 1t conceals nothing Rather
does it hold aloft in long-legged prom
inence, for the inspection of all who
PASS, what the owner has seen fit to
leave behind. A heavy platform high
enough from the ground to Illustrate
the Investigations of animals is all
that is required. Visual concealment
is unnecessary, because in the North
country a cache is sacred. On it may
depend the life of man. He who
leaves provisions must find them on
his return, for he may reach them
starving, and the length of his out
journey may depend on his certainty
of relief at this point on his in-jour-
ney. So men passing touch not on
his board, for some day they may be
in the same case. and a precedent
is bad thing.
Thus in parts of the widest coun-
tries of Northern Canada l have I'M

hanging upside down between two
trees, or a whole bunch of snowshoes
depending beneath the fans of a
spruce or a tangle of steel traps
thrust into the crevice of a tree root,
or a supply of pork and flour swathed
like an Egyptian mummy lying in

BUT THERE ARE DOUBTS AS TO
WHETHER IT WILL SAIL.

y m.-Acute anxiety prevails re-
gardin6 the situation at Port
Arthur on account of the desperate
character Of the fighting reported as
taking place, though the war office
does not seem to believe that danger
OF the fall of the fortress Is so inmi-
nent as rs generally asserted. Ac-

Office there is still an ample supply of
ammunition and provisions there.

or seven fold the great strength of the
fOrtificatiOns, it is believed. viii do
much to make up for the disparity in
numbers.
Fleet Will Sally Forth.
Upon one point there is absolute
unanimity here namely, that if the
fortress falls the fleet will not fall into
the hands of the Japanese. On this
point the admiralty's instructions are
OF TIE most imperative character.
Vice Admiral Prince Outkomslxy has
been ordered, should the worst come,
TO sally forth for a death struggle and
there is no question here that these
instructions viii be carried out. both
in letter and in spirit, but If for any
reason a final sortie proves to be i'm
