New Folder.
An innovation has been introduced
by Mart Adson, general passenger
Atlantic in the new folder of the COM
pany. The somewhat jealous policy
hitherto adopted by the roads in maxi
ing their own line 1.-The only thing"
has been dropped and vast amount
of information regarding other lines
and tributary routes which the trav-
eler may need is included. To thous-
ands of tourists and travellers this
will come as welcome relief from
the lone and only line system" used
IN the past by the various roads.

CHAPTER I.-tContinued.l

she said in a wistful tone. Then she laid
a little hand on his arm and looked up
at him with such sweet eyes that Jim's
heart ached more than ever. TRY, for
my sake" she added.
jim, laughed in fashion strangely I'M
like his ordinary CHEEKY self.
Since you wish it, Sadie, I'll try" he
said. a few days afterwards he had gone
10 her with the unwelcome news that he
had decided to 60 out to Australia and
start sheep farming. This news was all
the more surprising as Jim had just OBJ
tanned a good appointment as agent to
one of the largest land owners in the
county.
Sadie, though very much distressed by
this incomprehensible change of plans
was far from guessing that it was
brought about by her engagement to
Godfrey Cheviot, the head partner in the
principal bank in Sunniford. Her father,
who could perhaps have enlightened her
on the subject, was not at home. He
had been very i'll during the autumn, and
had been ordered to spend the winter in
Algiers; and the fact of his absence made
the prospect of Jim's departure doubly
hard to bear. Now the parting she had
dreaded for so long was practically over,
for Jim. who was to sail on the Saturday
after the ball, and had indeed already left
Sunniford, was in London getting his out
At and preparing for his departure. 1t
might be years before they met again.
How she would miss him, Sadie thought
drearily. How dull it would be without
him!
Godfrey, who had been rather scandal
lied by Sadie's grief and the tears she
had shed at parting with her old play
mate, would have felt far from fattered
if he had known how large a portion of
her thoughts was given to jim, or how
ardently she wished him with her again.
II shouldn't have minded staying at
home bit if Jim had been here" Sadie
thought drearily, as she stood by the fire
and watched Julia dress for the ball

gether and had a good time all to our
selves. And father is away, too. Oh
how miserable / feel-and what a selfish
wretch Geoff was to make me promise to

Then Julia broke in abruptly on her
reflections with the question, uttered in
a most complacent tone and with the
manner of one who is thoroughly assured
of the answer
"Tell me candidly-how do l look?"

Tin Plate Mills in Wales

In Wales there are about $50 tin
plate mills of which 95 per cent. were
in operation at the close of Novem-
Der. In the United States there are
about $40 regularly operative mills,
which have been in work at one time
or another within the past year, the
leading interest having some 242 in
dependent interests. There are about
80 other mills not in regular work.
1t can be assumed that an average Of
not less than 400 mills were operated
In Wales during 1905, while an average
Of scarcely more than 275 mills were
worked in the United States. With
substantially the same total produc-
ton. says the Iron Trade Review, 1t
appears that the output per mill has
been between a third and a half great

THE STELLAR COMPASS.

given by Lieut.. C. D. Stearns, OF the

school,
The up-to-date navigator will see
at a glance that it will solve any
spherical triangle, more especially
when time is involved, as is usually
the east in nautical science; and that
it's great value lies in the fact OF
its being essentially a stellar azimuth
machine, thus relieving him Of the
tedious work of computing star all
muths, and making it possible 70
find the error of his compass at Night
when the horizon cannot be seen,
which would be necessary to obtain
an altitude in case the azimuth were
computed.
