Diaests What You Eat
ISLAND OF SOLID IRON.
One of Pacific Archipelago Almost
Entirely Composed Of
the Ore.

The Northumberland islands belong
TO Queensland, and lie off the east cen.
trail coast of the Pacific, between the
Gowns of Northampton and Mackay.
One of the smallest islands in the
Duke group of this archipelago is Iron
island.
The whole island is iron ore, except
a strip from go to 120 feet wide on
the west and a sand fiat across its
northern end. The island is 1920
feet in length and 52S feet in great
est width, it's highest point being 1870
feet above high-water mark.
1t is estimated by the geological sur
vey that the amount of ore above
high-water mark is 1900. 900 tons, and
that the additional ore available be-
tween high and low tide (23 feet)
amounts to 100000 tons, making a
total Of $3.50, 900 tons of available ore.
The rock or the western side of
the island is greenish, highly altered
trachyte. in which there has been
great development of east and west
cross quartz veins, probably formed
before the iron was introduced into
the surrounding region. On the south
side of the island are three ~outcrops
of pure white statuary marble, from
10 to 20 feet across and 20 to 60 feet
in length.
1t is believed by some Queensland
biologists that the ore metasomat-
ically replaced limestone and slate,
and that the formation of ore may
still be going on inasmuch as the
ridge top supports figs and scrub vege-
tation, showing that spring water is
still reaching the surface. The ore
consists chiefly of cryptocrystalline
magnetic. with massive hematite, and
has scarcely a trace of impurity. Its
specific gravity is As to 4.6.
v Blocks of ore up to ten feet in diam
eter are piled up around the base Of
the island. No work has yet been
done, but there will be no difficulty
in mining down to tide level. To
work below that level a wall of ore
will have to be left to prevent the
entrance of the sea water.

Report Of the District Nurse.

The report of the district nurse, Miss
Florence A. Macdonald, is interesting
and contains some practical suggestions.
Miss Macdonald says: In handing In the
report on district nursing I would like to
remark that during the past year the
work has grown more like what Is known
as hourly nursing; that is, the care of
the patient for an hour or two in the
morning or evening or both and all-night
calls and has been minus the dressing
Of putrid wounds arising from neglect
and SO frequently met with in the dis
trict work in the cities The surgical
work has been markedly less and the
cases on list were all minor dressings or
minor operations.
In all the obsteric cases cared for dur
ing the year there has not been one case
of septicemia, which would show to a
certain extent the cleanliness of the
houses and the people. In a very few
cases the houses were anything but hy-
gienic or sanitary / would suggest that
in such cases, where the neglect is per-
haps due to the mother being i'll or worn
out from nursing a sick child, the nurse
be allowed to call on a woman of general
work to come in and clean and scrub and
give that much encouragement to the
mother to start anew.
In general the patients have been very
grateful and appreciative of all things
done for their comfort and welfare and
have tried to carry on the treatment in
the absence of the nurse to the best Of
their ability
OF the number of calls listed about SO
were made by other nurses, either grad
yates or pupils from the training school.

The incorporators of the Brattleboro
Memorial hospital held their annual meet
ing at the hospital Tuesday evening, Pres
ident G. L. Durham presiding. Richards
M Bradley of Boston, one of the incor-

officers were elected: Directors, DR.. Shall

ford II. Bracket; auditor, Leroy f. Al

Pratt, whose terms as members OF the
medical board had expired, were reelected
for two years.
The reports showed that the running
expenses of the hospital were about the
same as for the previous year. The num-
Der of medical cases received was about
equal to that of the year before. There
were fewer surgical cases, which is &C
counted for by the fact that when the
hospital was opened many cases needing
surgical attention were waiting to take
advantage of the new institution.

pense 1t had been to him, while Repre-
sentative Gibson questioned the various
witnesses regarding facts. Messrs. Stick
ney Fits and Batchelder also inquired
of the various citizens who appeared. No
conclusion was reached, as no two clti-
zens of the village seemed to want the
same thing. The committee will have
to decide what the best thing is for the
distracted harbor of enthusiastic office
holders, and amend the village charter
as seems best for their eternal welfare.
