hered to. Now, however. that il has been

se-vative than the most tory districts of

CHRISTIANA, Feb. I7.-(Special Cable
gram to The Bee 1.-The debts of Norwe-

paid by the income arising from the sale
OF the seaweed ashes. In fact. Consul Ras-

that the gathering of seaweed in south

ashes contain valuable chemical properties.

'Old debts" says the report, ''have been
paid and small farms that were isolated
and surrounded by unproductive land have
had their boundaries extended by the
draining of marshes and clearing of rocky
wastes that have not been utilized or
productive since the stone age
Twenty years ago there was not a now

now there are mowers, hay rakes. harrows

had passed, throughout Belgium, and, in
fact. throughout Holland, there commenced
to circulate pamphlet entitled. "The In
vasion OF Belgium showing what I'll ef-

The author takes 1t for granted that
June. Belgium in the meantime has been
declared neutral. England Joins France
and they by their united navy are power
full enough to crush the German feet
Germany, however, is victorious on the
land and in the heat of that victory
breaks the treaty of neutrality and sends
10000 men into Belgium. while England
lands 5000 men at Antwerp The allies
are eventually defeated In other parts Of

DULUTH. Mimi. Feb. 1.-THE wooden
working house of the Duluth grain elevator
plant of F. II. Peavey & Co. of Mlnne-

The origin of the fire is unknown. For
