shovels are used here also. The usual
steam shovel weighs Is to 10 tons, and
its dipper win handle from two to four
yards of material at q mouthful. 1t will
lift daily from the bed Of the ore to the
cars from 1000 to 1000 tons Of iron ore.
A yard Of iron ore weighs about two
tons. and a yard OF overburden about one
ton. In stripping work q fair average
days task will be from 1.5oO to 1900
yards for every % hours Of continuous
work. With a shovel In ordinary prac-

and supplies the author with the crux OF her
plot for the hero, in the prOtracted absence of
his real sweetheart, inadvertently weds the lady
villain, who, after leading him a sad life elOpes
with gifted novelist, but remains a clog upon
his freedom, since he feels himself morally
bound TO her, whatever the extent of her mis-
behavior. The tale has evidently been written
as protest against the tendency of a good deal
of recent fiction to justify. at least in extreme
cases, the severance of the marriage tie. 1t is
scarcely to be hoped that the story will result in
rendering divorce any less popular than it is at
present. The scene is laid in Kentucky where
if the author may be trusted, the people must
be far more consistent in their characters and
lives than experience has demonstrated that
they are elsewhere The good people in the
novel are good beyond hope of emulation and
the wicked are bad beyond redemption There
IS one advantage, of course, in this, that the
reader always knows what to expect of them,
and they never disappOint his expectation. The

Mr.. Stevenson, in his story of vacation days
in the Catskis, shows that he is not dependent
upon plots of mystery to arouse the interest of
his readers. THE Girl with the Blue Sailor is
simple in its construction as THE Holiday

ate adventures turks among them to disturb
the placid currents of their lives, yet these lives

when one gets below the surface: and the author
has made the most of what he finds there. A
bright and amusing story to take with one on
just such d vacation as Mr.. Stevenson describes

a capture by pirates which gives ample oppor-
tunity for bloody encounters tor horrid fears
and dreadful doubts, and for deep laid schemes
and daring deeds in rescuing the perturbed
heroine from the clutches Of the sea vultures.
If the author displays certain lack of Origi-
nality in the selection of his materials he, at
least handles them with a skill bred Of
