''It is too costly for many uses" replied
Mr.. Browne, but it is employed whero
toughness and strength are a necessity. IL
is largely used on the railroads where there
are curves at the bottom of steep grades.
If a heavily loaded freight train strikes
such curve there are only two things
which hold it on the track, and these are
the fanges of the wheels and the heads OF
the rails. In the winter time the rails are
apt to become brittle, and when the train,
rushing down hill, strikes them they somo-
times break and there is a wreck. For
this reason nickel-steel Is used at such
curves. The Horseshoe curve of the Penn
sylvana railroad, for instance. Is made of
that kind of rails. The metal Is also now
employed in bridge building. The new Man
haitian bridge will be made of 1t. II is going
into many OF our large apartment houses or
other tall steel buildings. In this case It IS
80 per cent stronger than ordinary steel;
the result is that less metal can be used
or with an equal weight the building can
have double the strength. Nickel-steel does
not expand or contract like common steel,
and for this reason II is made into clock
pendulums, which must be of the same
length the year round in order 10 have the
right time. Indeed, It is valuable for many
things, and 1t will be widely used as IL
grows cheaper"

"@T WILL be the model army post of
M the United States" said General
keA A b. Chaffee, chief of staff in
IQbRI speaking of Fort Des Moines.
situated four miles south of Dea
Moines, on the hills overlooking the conflu-
ence of the Des Moines and Raccoon rivers
Major General ]. c. Bates when making
his inspection as division commander, was
enthusiastic over the newest big post in
the country and General Whit, command
ng the Department of the Missouri, has
spoken highly of the present home of head
quarters and eight troops of the Eleventh
cavalry, commanded by Colonel Earl d.
Thomas, veteran of three wars. the civil
war where he was an enlisted man, the
Spanish-American war and the subsequent
instruction in the Philippines.
The location of q big post at Des Moines
Is the outgrowth of a promise made by
Congressman ]. A. T. Hull during a hot
political campaign a dozen years ago. and
the happy chance that made him chairman
OF the house committee of military affairs
during the Spanish-American war and the
subsequent increase in the army. The citi-
Gems OF Des Moines donated 400 acres upon
which the post is located, and when the
post is completed, two years hence, the
government will have spent S1,5OO,OOOO in
buildings and other improvements. Ada
cent to the post is the camp ground of the
Iowa National Guard, consisting of 100
acres, and two miles south of the post
is the rife range of the army and guard,
consisting of COO acres
Home for a Regiment.
The two big double barracks and horse
barns for the Third squadron of the
Eleventh are nearly completed and some
time this winter the squadron will be
ordered here from Fort Riley. where it is
now stationed. Then the regiment will be
together for the first time and Fort Des
Moines will be one of the few army posts
flying the American flag garrisoned by a
full regiment
Work will soon commence upon a big rid
ing hall for the use OF the troops during
the winter months. It will be similar to
the halls at Fort Myer, Va, and Fort Riley,
Kan, and 1t will be possible for an entire
troop of cavalry to drill upon the tanbark

cars, which make the trip in forty minutes,
or can drive out over a good road in thirty
minutes The buildings of the post, some
seventy-nve in number, ranging from
small quarters for the noncommissioned
STAFF to the big quarters for the troops
and the administration building, are located
on the four sides Of a big quadrangle, half
a mile in length and a quarter Of mile
wide. This big open space which is skirted
by a driveway forms the parade grounds.
The buildings are of the most modern
design, all of brick and cut stone. In the
quarters OF the officers are found much
stationary furniture in the nature of side
boards, blinds, ranges, etc, and IT is even
proposed to make permanent the dining
tables, etc This is a great convenience
for the officer required to move every few
years to some new station.
The younger officers have a building to
themselves called Clayton hall. named after
the former ambassador to Mexico. In this
each officer has two rooms and a bath and
together they enjoy the benefits of the
general mess, parlors, billiard rooms, etc.
In the quarters of the men can be found
every convenience for the well cared for
American enlisted man. He has his iron
bed and mosquito bar, his troop mess and
in the basement are baths and lavatories
worthy of a modern hotel.
Inside the post is a telephone system
for the convenience of administration. two
and half miles of water mains, five miles
of sewers, six miles of road, three miles
of granolithic walk and twenty miles OF
electric light wires. 1t costs $4,000 a year to
heat the buildings and $4,000 to light them
while the water supply coming from the
city water works through big main, costs
nearly $1,000.

Wales shelters paid only for the copper
and kept the nickel as a private rake-off.
After a short time. however. the Canadian
Copper company discovered that the nickel
in their ore was far more valuable than
the copper ana since then nickel has been
the principal item of profit. The Sudbury
region is a nickel country and the copper In
1t is not considered. The ore now being
taken from the Creighton mine carries
about per cent nickel, or per cent of
copper, about 10 per cent of iron and % or
80 per cent of sulphur. with other stuff TO
make up the balance. This equals about six
pounds of nickel TO the hundred, or 10
pounds per ton. At the selling price of 40
cents a pound each ton or ore therefore
contains about S4S worth of nickel. A ton
of ore which has one ounce of gold in 1t
pays well for mining and such ore yields
only $40 per ton.

In the Copper Gin smeIters.

The Copper Cliff smelters are of enormous
size. Through the kindness OF Mr.. A. p.
Turner, president OF the Canadian com
pany, have been able to go through them
during my stay. The ore is brought in on
cars from Creighton mine, which is eight
miles away. It is first crushed and screened
and then spread out in great heaps on
beds of cord wood to be roasted. Hundreds
OF tons OF the coarse ore are piled upon
the wood. and the hner ore dust spread

~ Take a nickel out of your pocket.
IRaFSj Now suppose you had a pile OF
49, nickels as big the national
capitol building at Washington, and that
they were all packed solid in a great hole
in the ground. / saw here a nickel mine
out OF which a chunk of nickel ore bigger
than the capitol already has been taken.
The miners are working away there today,
and they still have millions of tons of
nickel In sight. This was at the Creighton
mine, about twelve miles from Sudbury,
the biggest nickel mine of the world.
There are only two places so far dis
covered on our great round earth where
nickel exists in large quantities. One is
here in Canada, a few miles north of the
Georgian bay, and the other is away down
below the equator OFF the eastern shore of
Australia, on the opposite side of the world.
1t is in the little island OF New Caledonia,
where France sends its criminals. The
ore there consists Of a green deposit. The
mines are worked by convicts who use
steam shOvels, the ore being shipped to
France for treatment.

thority to County Judge.

Some confusion exists in the case of
estates in which trustees are involved
on account of the presiding officer OF
the senate falling 10 sign bill that
was supposed TO have become a law.
In the past when a will provided for
property To be held in trust. the trus-

At the last session of the legislature
a law was passed authorizing the APP
pOintment of trustees by the county
judge. and in this county Judge Par
menter had exercised that power when
il became necessary. Now it is discov-
cred that Lieut. Gov. Sherman failed
10 sign the bill in the manner TO make
il of full force and effect. according to
the opinion o. Attorney General Stead.
As a case testing the law is now en-
route in the courts, the matter involv-

Fairy RinEs.

Probably we have all seen in the
fields or on the edge of the woods that
circle called the fairy ring. Before
fairy folk came to be doubted it was
firmly believed these rings were the
dancing ground of the fairies. In the
moonlight the spirits danced, wearing
down the grass under their feet. ut
least SO u grandfathers said, but we
must take sciences simple explanation
of it. A fungous plant will soon exhaust
all the fungous food from the soil be-
meath it, SO that only the spores which
fall outside this barren spot will take
root and flourish. So the ring is always
widening outward, forming a perfect
circle unless something interferes with
it. The rings are abundant in wet
weather, of a bun color or reddish
st. Nicholas.
