An Arctic Health Resort,

A curious health resort is about to
be established in Lapland, way beyond
the Polar Circle, according to news re-
ceived from Stockholm, Sweden. The
intention of the government is to erect
a sanitarium on the shores of Lake
Torne, a long and beautiful sheet of
water at Was3ijauve, the end of the
Ofote Railroad The latter, by the way,
is in itself a curious institution in
that in a distance of 121 miles it
boasts of only one solitary station.
This is not anywhere near any human
haDitation, but right on the line be-
tween Sweden and Norway, and 1t
was erected only for the requirements
of the customs officers
The sanitarium would be an ideal
one for people with weak nerves who
need absolute rest. Aside from the
small settlement at Wassijauve the
country is absolutely void of any signs
Of human existence, except for a few
Laplanders who, with their herds of
reindeer, pass through once in a while.
Guests at the Arctic sanitarium will
have for their only object of interest,
aside from the scenery, scientific sta.
tion which has been erected by the
government out of funds subscribed
privately by scientists and laymen in.
teTested in the object of the station.
The observations and Investigations to
be conducted here will be various. In
summer biological, geological, botani.
ca. chronological and other re-
SO arches will be made, while at all
Seasons meteorological, magnetic and
other observations are to be made
1'nc station is a soldly built block
house containing seven rooms, and it
is proposed to build the sanitarium in
| the same way.

For Fare for a Doll Under Three.

True kindliness does not abound in
any particular place. A conductor on
a Ridge avenue car the other day
gave an example Of how the ordinary
things of life may be made attractive
by the presence of a little kindliness
The car stopped and little girl carry
ing a large doll got on. The conductor
came in to collect her fare. The lit.
tie girl, who was about six years old,
handed him a nickel. He looked at II
and then at her, but didn't register
the fare. Her expression was that Of
perplexity. The conductor then lean
ed down and asked her for the doll's
fare. That request made the little
girls perplexity even greater But
the conductor quickly asked her
whether the doll wasn't over three
years old, and to her negative reply
he said: "Oh! | thought she was, and
| was waiting for her fare" Then he
smilingly pulled the register strap,
and the other passengers who had wit
nes sed the occurrence somehow or
other felt better for this touch of
whimsical comedy.

Boiling Water In the Clouds.

An article upon the route of tho
Thibet mission, published in a London
paper contains an interesting record
OF temperatures and conditions of life
at high attitudes. The mission has
necessitated the continued exposure
or very large number of untried men
to life at attitudes ranging between
10000 feet and 1900 feet, and the
general results are OF considerable
value The lowest temperature yet
reached on the route has been 26 de-
grees f. at Chuggia on the Tangia,
which was, however only an encamp-
ment. or actual nightly exposure to
cold OF men and animals Tuna prob.
ably holds the record with II degrees
F. But Pharl has repeatedly reached
10 degrees F., and Kamparab. nine
miles distant from Phari, might, If
continual registration had been posi-
BILE there, show a lower figure than
either The normal night minimum
during January and February is prob
ably 10 degrees F. for $4,000 feet,
warming to 7 degrees F. for 10000
feet. Mountain sickness has been
closely observed by the medical men
accompanying the mission. Indigea
tion has been common on account
or the eating Of imperfectly cooked
food. At $4,000 feet water boils at a
temperature about 80 degrees f. lower
than at sea-level, and the normal
amount OF cooking is therefore quite
inadequate. At $1,000 feet it is al.
most impossible to boil rice properly.
The Dal, the common red lentil OF
India, affords curious example OF
the difficulty of cooking at high ele.
vations. Out Of five different kinds of
dal supplied to the troops only one is
capable of being cooked at all at
heights above 10000 feet. 1t is diff.
hcult to make the native understand
these alterations OF gastrology, and
great deal of insufficient cooking has
been the natural result Phila. Record

SOME MODERN uroPlANs.
Places Where War, Poverty and Dis
honesty Are Unknown.

Denmark claims that there is not
single person in her domain who can
not read and write. On the northeast
coast of New Guinea, the Island of
Kutaba. surrounded by wall of coral
three hundred feet high on one side
and from fifty to one hundred feet on
the other. maintains thirteen villages
of natives, to whom war, crime and pow
orty have been unknown since the be-
ginning OF their traditions. The most
peaceful and comfortable community
in Europe is the commune of the Can
ton Vaud, in Switzerland. Nearly
every one is we'll off and there are no
paupers.
Finland is realm whose inhabi-
tants are remarkable for their invio-
late integrity. There are no banks
and no safe deposits, for no such Sc
curity is essential You may leave
your luggage anywhere for any length
of time, and be quite sure of finding
it untouched on your return, and your
purse full of money would be just as
secure under similar circumstances.
The Films place their money and val
uables in holes in the ground and
cover them with a big leaf. Such
treasure is sacredly respected by all
who pass it, but, in the rare event of
a man wishing to borrow of his neigh
Dor during his absence, he will take
only the smallest sum he requires and
place a mes sage in the hole telling of
his urgent need, promising to repay
the amount on a specified date. And
he will invariably keep his word. for
the Finn is invincible in his inde-
pendence.
Agneta Park, near Delft, in Holland,
is another Utopian example. A tract
of ten acres has upon it $50 houses,
each with its little garden and with
certain common buildings and COM
mon grounds. The houses are occu-
pied by the employees of a great dis
til!ing company, who form corpora
tion which owns the park Each mem
ber owns shares in the corporation,
and pay rent for his house. The sur
plus, after all expenses have been
paid, comes back to him as dividend.
II he wishes to go away, or If he dies.
his shares are bought up by the cor
poraton and sold to the man who
takes his place-Golden Penny

The Schenectady plant OF the Amer
lean Locomotive Works has under
way the building of the largest loco
motive in the world. 1t Is to be Of
the Mallet articulated type, will weigh
100000 pounds when completed for
freight work on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad The machine will be
of the tandem compound style, with a
peculiar arrangement of drive wheels
and cylinders. 1t is being built as an
experiment, and is intended for use
as a helper on the mountain divisions
Of the road. The heaviest engine now
in use on the Baltimore and Ohio
weighs 1921 tons,
The new locomotive will have $780,
600 pounds on the drivers, tender
weighing $4,000 pounds with coal
capacity of 13 tons and a water capa-
city of 1000 gallons. The wheel base
is to be 301a feet, the traction power
10000 pounds, and on a perfectly level
track the engine is expected to haul
over 10000 tons.

a Citv of Cretjns.

Almost the entire population of Kho-
kand, In Turkestan, suffers from goitre
or cretinism. When the Russians occu-
pied the city in 1878, goitre immediate
ly appeared among the troops, and in a
few months tenth of the garrison had
developed well~marked tumors. Be
cause of this the headquarters were
eventually removed to Marghillau.
Khokand Is the only place in Turkes-
tan where such a remarkable state of
things exists. According to DR.. G. Ca
pus, author of French work on medi-
cine in Central Asia, there appears to
be nothing in the surroundings of the
town to account for goitre being en-
demic Its sanitary condition is not
bad, the altitude but 1900 feet, and an
abundant and pure water supply is OBJ
tanned from mountain river. Goitre
Is due to an abnormal growth of a
gland In the neck known as the thy
roid, situated just below the so-called
Adams apple. Cretinism is an arrest
of mental as well as physical develop
ment due TO disease of the thyroid. 1t
usually begins from the second to the
fifth year of infancy, Some of the
dwarfs exhibited as curiosities are the
product of this curious disease.

War Brings New Words Into a Ian.
guage.

Out of each war come verbal riches,
whatever the loss OF property or life.
A war has genuine value in increasing
the currency of words outside of their
tribal setting, and if we can acquire
a few of the rugged consonantal Sla.
vics, and few of the softer Mongolia
expires sions, the war will have been
worth its cost-in words. We could
not spare 'manana," acquired from the
Spanish-American conflict, or recon
centrados," since we have no word of
Saxon descent which quite expresses
these ideas. And certainly the cur
rency given to hike" was worth all
we have heard or are to hear of Rough
Riders. And from the Boer war sure
ly "kopje" was, to use an American
ism, worth the price Of admission. We
await with interest our next acquisi-
tions. Probably we will soon be maxi
ing all our eastern measurements in
"versts," and IL it be necessary to
overlay eastern diplomacy with a
veneer Of silence we might lacquer"
1t. In any event our verbal horizon is
certain to be pushed out, and we will
have new portmanteau words in which
to carry about our new wisdom.-St.
Paul Dispatch.

Local shoe dealers announce that
there viii be 4 rise in the prices OF all
kinds of leather footwear this fall. ana
that 1t will come pretty soon. 1t was
stated, some time ago, that the fail
prices would be in excess of the sum-
mer rates. or that a cheaper grade oil
shoe would be offered at the old prices.
but this at once brought protest. as
The people not only rebelled against q
cheaper shoe. but wanted even a Det-
ter one than that at present on the
market. The manufacturer is up
against the high prices charged by
the tanner and the dealer in hides
and the only alternative left open for
him is to advance the price of his
goods. the result of which is that the
consumer. who has been paying So or
81. 70 for his shoes. heretofore. will have
10 mart with $3.50 or 81 for the same
grade of goods. all of which seems to
he a case of where they come high. but
,ve must have 'em.
