short distance away, men and dog
sleds resembled flies crawling UP a
white curtain.
"But on clear days, unfortunately
rare, the blue sky was Mediterranean

sea would fash like Jewels In the

would appear for all the world like
"cabochon" emeralds dropped into a
mass of whipped cream. But the re-
verse of this picture was depressing
in the extreme. For on cloudy DAYS
the snow would assume a dull Ieaden
appearance, and the sea ice become a
slate gray, with dense banks of wool
ly, white fog encircling the dismal
scene. Fair and foul weather in the
Arctic reminded me of some beautiful
woman, bejeweled and radiant amid
liShts and laughter, and the same d.

not more than half a mile across,
which is so thicRly populated with
cats that they may be seen cover
ing the rocks on sunny day, from
the riggings of passing vessels.
The cats number many thousands,
and the strangest thing is that they
are all black. Every evening boat
load of fishermen land on the island
and lay out seine a quarter of mile
long. They pull it in with never less
than ton of fish, but next morning
these fish are gone. The cats devour
them all.
These cats have been placed here

thousand pussies lose their lives.

the financial world. The management
of Mr.. Letters great estate. which is
estimated as being worth from 500.
100000 to $30,000,000, had already

the great wheat deal of 1898, which

Levi zeigler Letter was born in
1884 in the quaint little Dutch Calvin
istic settlement of Leltersburg, Wash
ington county, Maryland, which was
founded by and named after his ances-
tors. He was educated there and
spent the early years OF his life in the
little town, until 1854, when he went
to Chicago TO make a name for him
self, and TO add by his own efforts
to the money he had inherited. He
entered the employ of Downs e. Van
Wyck, where he worked until 1856,
two years later. Then he saw a bet
ter opportunity for advancement in
accepting the position offered him in
the house of Cooley, Wadsworth &
Co., where he worked side by side
with Marshall Field who was to be-
come his business partner.
He worked with the firm until 1865,
and the favor with which he was look.
ed upon by his employers is proved
by the fact that when he left them he
controlled an interest in the business
of the firm. Marshall Field also had
an interest in the firm and decided TO
join young Letter in new venture.
They sold out to J. " FaTwell and pur-
chased a controlling interest in the
business of Potter Palmer, who was
engaged in the dry goods business at
the time. The firm became known as
Field, Letter & Co., remaining so until
1881, when Mr.. Letter retired from
It.

An odoriferous Beetle.

A rather unusual visitation was suf
fered by a South Carolina town last
summer, through the presence of what
is known as the rhinoceros beetle
which bears the same unapproachable
position in the insect world that the
skunk does among animals A colony
OF these beetles established them
selves in some ash trees which were
grown for shade. and the odor was so
strong and offensive that the town
council ordered eighty Of these trees
TO be cut down AS the trees vera
estimated to be worth 500 each, the
unusual visitation cost tho town about
$4,000.
