"The enormous quantity of iron ore
which is being scooped from the ranges
about Lake Superior, dug out Of the
hills Of Alabama and Tennessee and
hoisted from the deep pits of Pennsyl-
vania, has caused the geologist and
mineralogist to make startling predic-
lions. Some Of them have gone so far
as to say that we are approaching an
era when iron may rank among the
rarer metals because Of its scarcity.
Even James J. Hill, the railroad mag
nate and developer of the Northwest,
who was one Of the first to realize the
vast deposits of ore in the Superior
ranges, has made the prophecy that
perhaps within half century most of
the richer ore beds will be exhausted
and that we may be obliged to go out
side of America for much Of the raw
material for our snelters and fur
naces."-Technica World MAGAZINE.

CHASTITY Experience of Two Appren-

Two young burglars in Paris had
CHASTITY experience recently and a mar

New York Sun. They were both new
in the house-breaking game. They were
lads Of 10 and 20 years, butchers APP
prentices, out of work and penniless,
and with associations In the Apache
gangs, now terrorizing Paris, which led
them to turn naturally to crime as
means Of getting on their feet.
They chose as the scene Of their first
trial the apartment of a well-to-do en-
gineer named Danclos, who lived all
alone In house on the Rue Myrha.
They made their way into the house at
night after the lights had been put
out, but as they figured before the
hour at which Danclos usually returned
