Estimates of the unmined supplies
Of iron ore was extremely uncertain
and untrustworthy Some of them ar e
based on surveys made at perio
when low-grade ores that are now
being profitably worked were regarded
as worthless: others took into consid-
Grafton factors OF fuel and transporta-
ton which no longer apply. and none OF
them attempted an accurate view OF the
possible sources of supply in the un-
developed countries of the earth There
are also involved in the vital question
of the future supply fundamental DIFF
ferences among the biologists and cos
mologists themselves. One school
holds to the theory of Sir Robert Ball
that the metal came originally from
outside the globe and that We can hope
to find little more on It's surface An
other takes the more optimistic view
that the dense center of the earth is
largely iron. II the latter be the case

BUILD BIG BRIDGE

Engineers Have Been Employed Ia

Erect Temporary Structure.

| Pensacola, Fla, Oct. 10--(Special.)--
| The Board of County Commissioners
| today decided, after an inspection Of the
place. to build an immense steel bridge
across Little Bayou. which is just out
S de of the city limits and leading b.
way of the military road to the navy
yard and forts.
Engineers have been employed to
| submit designs and Specifications and
| the bridge will be built as soon as pos =
| s.ble thereafter. The old bridge. which
| was a costly one, was carried away By
| the hurricane and the county Is now
| constructing temporary bridge 20 tc
used until the new steel one which wild
cost several thousand dollars. is com
p,eted.
The Board also received estimates Of
the cost of spanning Escambia River at
| a point near McDaVid, with steel
structure. For some months past Ell
/! forts have been made to intercs: the
Commissioners of Santa Rosa County
| In the matter, and induce them to pay
half the cost as the bridge is the de-
viding line of the two counties. but
failing in this the Board has about de-
cided to construct the bridge Itself.
Captain Davis reached here late this
afternoon and reported the finding o.
the body of a man in a horribly de-
composed state about a mile to the
westward of Fort McRae on the outside
beach. The remains were covered with
sand and the authorities notified 1t

Good and Had Game Laws.

CarIyle's sarcasms were leveled AT ths

Anodyne Charlie was his nickname,
because he was always trying to quiet
his excitable friends, and is frequently
succeeding
On the train one morning, two Of
his friends began quarreling over
subject about which neither knew any
thing, and Anodyne Charlie made an
effort to steer them into sunshine.
In the evening two wooden people
killed enough time at the ticket win
dow to cause him and friend to miss
the express train.
While his friend fumed away on the
platform about the delay, Anodyne
Charlie began studying how to squeeze
some honey out of the experience,
and one hopeful remark was that they
night meet somebody on the next ex-
press train which would make it worth
while to wait
But Anodyne Charlie had some ex-
perience all alone. That evening when
he went into his dark den at the
house, he knocked his shin against a
chair which had been carelessly left
In the doorway and after he turned on
the light he found that his pet paper
weight, railroad engine, was missing
from an important pile of papers on
his desk.
Before he could take any of his own
medicine, he began talking about that
paper weight and chair to the whole
household, but before he got through,
he began telling stories of the day
which more than balanced the criti-
cisms he began with.
Anodyne Charlie earned his name
by getting the habit of thinking things
over and seeing that excitable mo-
ments are the places where we do
things that we wish we hadn't done.
He had never been able to forget
his words and manners on a certain
day in restaurant.
1t spoiled his lunch to have anybody
wait for his chair or stool and he al
ways put for roomy places.
This day he went to a counter be-
fore it was supplied with walters and
he waited five minutes, when another
man came in and sat with him, and

Daisies Follow Railways.

"Buttercups and daisies follow rail-
roads the world over" said an engi-
ncer. In India, in Central Asia, in
Brazil, the parallel rails run continu-
ally between meadows white and yell
low with home flowers.
In the construction of all foreign
railways American or English engi-
neers have hand. These men know
that good home grass is the best thing
Tor holding together the earth on en-
bankments. Grass is tough and last
Ing; 1t strikes root so easily that it
practically cements the most fimsy
earthworks.
so grass seed from home is sown
on railway entertainments all over the
world by the home engineers helping
to build them, and thus, in the most
tropical places, among gorgeous or
chids and palms and giant cacti. you

they waited another five minutes.
The third man came in and sat at
the other side of him and in one min.
ute a girl came up and began serving
the third man.
Charlie got up and told another
girl that he had been there ten min

there five minutes, and he went

1t referred to.
1t may be that his wondering what
she meant got him to thinking what
he had done.
The more he thought, he remem.
bered that the same girl, while busy,
had made an effort to get somebody
to wait upon him.
He found he had been doing just
what he criticised an Ohio man for
doing.
This Ohio man was one Of class

throwing paper wads at this man down
in front and to the surprise of every
body, the man jumped up with his
umbrella and hit the first man back
of him on the head.
The hit man was quite a good ma
tured fellow, and took time to explain
to the umbrella wielder that he had
not thrown any wads.
Then to the amusement of every
body, the two men shook hands and
the umbrella man sat down.
In time Anodyne Charlie acquired
the theory that nine times out of ten
excitable persons blame the wrong
person, and he became so skillful in
soothing those who seemed to have
thunderstorms in their blood most of
the time that some men thought Sc
riously of offering him salary to go
around with them as a disposition
manager, as they knew from expe-
rience that they lost business on ac-
count of the lack of self-control in the
face of unexpected irritants or per-
plexities.

Arrow ThrowIno.

An old English sport that still sur
wives from the days when the bow and
arrow were in use in that of arrow
throwing, and in parts of Yorkshire it
is still made one of the features of
athletic meets. The arrows are
straight shafts three feet long, with
out either barb or feather, and are
thrown by the aid of bit of string
wrapped about the thrower's hand and
about the butt of the arrow. A skill
full man can send the arrow one hun
dred and fifty yards, though it requires
some experience to cause the arrow
to leave the string without tangling.
Once the knack is acquired the sport
is said to be more fascinating than
putting the shot or throwing the ham
mer. There is a movement on foot to
have the sport made one of the feat
ures Of the college games, since both
skill and strength are required.
