WHENCE FURS COME
VALUABLE LITTLE ANIMALS SCATTERED FAR AND WIDE.
Skins of Great Worth Obtained by Trappers at Risk of Their Lives
 Creatures with Expen- , sive Coats.

cynics tell us that we never can know . fur by the name it sells under, there now being such perfection in the art of dyeing and treating skins that are to masquerade as something very differ ent from their humble real selves. But though, doubtless, in the fur business there are shams galore. yet the valuable fur-bearing animals are by no means ex- tinct
 History and romance give added worth to the ermine, the fur that for so long has been in favor with royalty; but to our way of thinking it is by no means chief among beautiful furs, and it Is 6 rather trying to wear, it's dead white ness, unrelieved by the black tips, would be almost impossible for the average complexion. Many people think the er- mine is naturally dappled with black, but this is not the case, for the little ani- nal in winter, the time when it is cap tured, is pure white, save the tip of its tail which is very black. It takes num-

5luish gray, like the ermine putting on snowy coat in the winter The fur ex- tends clear down over its feet; its tail is very bushy.
 In contrast to the furs just mentioned is the Russian sable. glorious fur, won- derfully soft and silky, its rich duskiness becoming to everyone so fortunate as to be able to wear it. It isa very expensive fur, so many skins needed, the animal difficult to capture, the trapper under going much hardship and no small dan ger in the pursuit of this particular rep resentative of the weasel family. The sable is found at its best in the coldest month of the year in cold Asiatic Rus sia, and in searching the wastes over which the tiny creatures roam not few trappers lose their lives. The price of $500 has been paid for one skin. ap ordi- nary skin is valued at from $S5 to $100. The sable is also found in Kamschatka, in Labrador forests, and on the borders of northern Canada. ...
 In America we have sable of less value than that coming from Asiatic Russia, one known as the river marten. Not so costly as the Russian sable, yet it has a high value. The animal from which it is procured is about the size of large cat, and 1t Is gray with black spots. A gray fur of silky softness and exquisite tone is the chinchilla, and we Americans bring over large quantities of this fur every year from Europe. ''S'
 Sealskins cost from 30 to 40 per cent. more than they used to, though yet. strange to say, the fur Is not so liked by Dame Fashion as in days when its mar ket value was considerably less. Seals are found almost exclusively now about Alaska. and are not captured farther south to the extent they once were. The young seals are richest black in color, the older ones shade from black to gray, the gray on the shoulders, and they are a reddish brown beneath. Though seal- skin seems to have lost some of its pres tige, it remains one of the most beauti- full of the dark furs.
 The lynx is another dark fur of ex- treme beauty, the hair so long and glossy. It is found in Asia Minor, in northern Europe. and in North Ameri- ca. The fur of the lynx of Asia Minor shows thick tufts on the thighs and spots of deepest jet on the breast. The sea ot- ter is another fur highly valued, and this animal is hunted in Alaska islets and on Alaska reefs.

 NEW YORK. Feb. 11.-R. q. Dun X Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
 Some disturbance has been caused by the elements, but business condi- tions are otherwise unusually satisfac- tory for the season. Distribution of merchandise is of liberal proportions, and the new year is fulfilling sanguine expectations. Low temperature and storms interrupted traffic to some ex- tent. but accelerated business in heavy wearing apparel. overshoes and fuel. Manufacturing is still the best feature, especially in the various departments of the iron and steel industry. while textile mills and shoe shops are we'll engaged.
 Liberal consumption of commodities is evidenced by the slight rise in Dun's index number from $l0031S to S101,- 042 during January. Railway earnings fin that month were I per cent larger than in 1904. while foreign commerce at this port for the last week showed a gain of s1,O7O.s7O in value of imports and a loss of S1 S3O.563 in exports as compared with the same week last year.

 C. l.. P.-Please state how many years Noah was engaged in building the ark. and quote your authority. A. No particulars are Obtainable on the subject. Inasmuch as the ark was not larger than many vessels of to-day. and was built for purely tenn porary service and not to make any vova"e in it, it was probably not long building.

 T. T. K.-Are the earths poles of positive and negative nature? If so, which is the negative? In what direc. ton does the compass point in the southern hemisphere?
 A. The poles are mysteries of which we have yet great deal to learn. The north magnetic pole is sev- enty degrees north latitude and nine- ty-saven degrees west longitude. The south magnetic pole has not been ex- actly located, but is about seventy four degrees south latitude and one hundred and fOrty-seven degrees east longitude. Each attracts in its own hemisphere.

A FATAL THIRTEEN
Chicago's "Bluebeard" Owns
 Up to Many Marriages.
COURTED SISTER AS WIFE LAY DEAD
Four Days After One Wife's End, Possibly by Foul Play. Hoch Mar ried Her Sister and Then
 Fled With Her Money

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-ConfrOnted by living witnesses of his duplicity at the coroner's investigation into the death of Mrs. Walcker- Hoch, his last dupe, Johann Hoch, the much married man, according to the police, has admitted his marriage to thirteen women in the last ten years. Eight of these women who at one time bore the name of the alleged bigamist are now dead, but Hoch declares they died natural deaths and is firm in his denial that he poi soned any one of them. The identifica- ! tion of Hoch by several of his victims and their friends were developments at the hearing of the coroner's jury, and at the conclusion of the examination of witnesses last night Coroner Hoffman announced that the inquest would be | postponed until next Wednesday.
 The principal witness at the exami- 1 nation was Mrs. Fischer Hoch sister of the woman over whom the inquest was being held. The witness is the wo- man Hoch married few days after the death of Mrs. Walcker-Hoch In her testimony the witness explained in minute detail the circumstances sur rounding the death of her sister, but there was nothing in the evidence to prove that Hoch was responsible for ! the womans death.
 The witness told how Hoch courted her, married her within four days of the sisters death and then fled with S15O of witness money. Prior to we'd ding Hoch witness had ten children by ! a former husband.
 "At the time of my sisters death, after the doctor had gone.' said the witness, "Hoch cried and said: Now I am a widOwer again. all alone in the world. do not know what to do have done my duty as man and would have spent my entire fortune to have saved her life told Hoch that, as far as I could see. he had done his duty. The undertaken came then, and the body was taken downstairs and pre- pared for burial. At o'clock in the afternoon he said: Now. my dear, am alone in the world. You stick to me, and I will make you happy. will do everything for you possibly can. Your sister told me that you were a good business woman and when things get strengthened out will open hotel and we will work together hand in hand. It would be pleasure to me to be a father to your ten children. Then they will be our children. I want wife who has had bad husband so she will appreciate a good one-so she will appreciate me when she gets me. My wife is dead. The dead belong to the dead and the living to the living.
 eff Marie had not insulted you would have mourned six weeks for her but under the circumstances we must marry right away. You stick by me, and I will send for your children in Germany and we will all live together
 T told him I was surprised that he wanted to be father to so many children. He appeared hurt to think that doubted his willingness to be a father to my children
 During the investigation Jacob J. Ness of Cincinnati identified Hoch as the man he had known in that place in 1896 who married two German widows under the name of Schmitt.
