Evans Fleet to Look Out for Ship
wrecked Crews

NEW YORK. December 20.-A dispatch
received yesterday at the maritime eX-
change from Capt. Carman of the Brit
ish steamship Raphael, at Montevideo. on
her way from Callao to Liverpool, says
that while she was passing through the
Straits of Magellan on the night of No
vember II she noted bonfire on Strag-
gler's Island, a small, uuinhabited place.
Her machinery was deranged and she
could not stop to find out what the fire
meant. but the impression of her skipper
was that shipwrecked persons were MAX
ing an effort TO attract attention.
Several sailing vessels. including the
American four-masted steel ship Arthur
Sewali and the American bark Adolph
Obr.g. have not been heard from in many
months and are supposed TO be lost. 1t is
thought not unlikely that the ships COM
pany OF one or the other of these missing
craft may have been the castaways who
built the bonfire.
Admiral Evans battle feet, which will
go through the straits, Will be asked to
look out for shipwrecked crews.

HAlRBRUSH HINTS.
Gow to Select One That Will Give
Good Service.

The first essential Of a good hair
brush is that the bristles should really
be bristles, not limitations, and that
they should be of a good kind, says
Pearsons Weekly. Russian bristles
are the best; they are obtained from
the back of the wild boar.
Russian bristles are very stiff, Ia
pering in shape, about seven inches In
length and either black or white.
These are the longest and stiffest of
all. Only the butt end is used for hair
brushes, and the other end, known as
the flag" is employed for making
painting and decorating brushes.
The flag tapers very thin and ends In
several sprouts, so that it makes a
very soft and flexible brush. The butt
end of the Russian bristle may be rec
ognized by its thickness, for no other
bristle has so large diameter.
The next best variety is the Chinese
and is sent from Tientsin. 1t Is a
black bristle about five and half
inches in length and less stiff than the
Russian. 1t is not so durable as this
latter but in other respects 1t is not
far behind.
German bristles vary in length and
quality. They are black, white and
brown, and the length ranges from six
inches to a mere stump Of an inch or
so. The white are regarded as the
best Of ali these German varieties
and consequently fetch the highest
price.
American bristles are short, ranging
from two and half to three and a
half inches. They are soft and feIi-
BILE and for that reason are not so well
adapted for the manufacture Of hair
brushes However, they are cheap
and are therefore largely used to mix
with the sitter kinds This, by the
way, Is one Of the points to be noted
when buying-see IL all the bristles
have the same stiffness.
Yet another variety Is that obtained
from the sea COW. These bristles are
hard and durable, and they are black
In color.
Imitation bristles in the shape Of
fbers are often used. To detect the
true bristle from the imitation and al
so to ascertain the quality Of the real
article, run your finger down the cen
ter Of the brush. II the bristles spring
back quickly into the straight, up
right position they are genuine, but II
they return slowly to the original posi-
tion 1t will be well to examine them
more closely. for this lack of residence,
or springiness, is one Of the signs by
which you will recognize the fiber.
See that the bristles are secured in
the back Of the brush by wire.

Dawson Coal Camps
Strictly Company Town

Dawson, ~. NJ. Aug. The
Dawson Fuel company, a Phelps
Dodge interest, is just completing
a series OF buildings here which are
designed wholly for the ethical and
acshctical cultivation of their 5000
employees.
1t is the policy of the company to
allow no other interest than its own
to hold or control any property with
in the limits OF their large holdings,
which comprise a scope Of country
nearly sixty miles square, and SO
no church or theater may be estab.
lished here which would be outside
OF the control OF the company.
But the company is not neglect
full OF the moral, mental or physical
welfare OF its employees, and SO it
has established here a splendid
school system for which it has erec-
ted at its own cost three large
school buildings a hospital, an
immense opera house, and the latest
to be constructed is a Protestant
church building. a Catholic church
has already been built and is in use.
The new church building is to be
occupied BY the Presbyterian
denomination, and only one Pro-
testant church is allowed on the
field. The building is a commodious
affair and will sea a congregation
OF 500 people. a minister's house
is also built in conjunction with
the church building.
The large a%mphitheater which i.
designed for the entertainment of
Dawson will have an immense audi
forum seating 1000 people, the
stage alone will seat 500 and will
be arranged as a dance floor also
a special hall will be set aside AS a
meeting place for the varions orders
tor each lodge meeting there is a
dressing room and lockers will be
provided, and there is sufficient
accommodation for eight lodges.
y splendid park for baseball and
other outdoor sports has been laid
out and a grand stand built TO seat
over a thousand people. Besides
there are liberal accommodations.
for the bleachers.
The interest taken in the social
welfare OF the many thousands of
employees is a splendid Endorsement
OF the liberal and large-hearted
spirit OF the superintendent, Ell.
who has charge also Of
the large lumber interests Of the
company at AIamogordo, which
employs upwards OF a thousand
men.
