have very little use for houses.
All the while the natives were con

Igorrote language is an unwritten

The new Modern Woodmen press,

On the second floor are located the

bindery is located on the third floor,
where the mailing list is also kept. In
the mailing list department there will

Postmaster Mcdonald has completed a

Igorrote Village is
Center of Interest
at the EXPOSITION

Everything was hurry and hustle at
the exposition yesterday afternoon.
All was confusion-show wagons and
paraphernalia were scattered indis
criminately about the grounds, actors.
show hands and managers hurried to
and fro, shouting orders and working
like bees. In a few hours, from the
seemingly hopeless chaos, the numer-
GUS shows and concessions began to
take on form and before evening the
whole exposition was running ike a
machine.
Many persons who visited the
grounds III the afternoon were admit
ted free. The Igorrotes seemed to
be the center of interest. Coming
natives from the Philippines did not
take kindly 10 the sudden change i'll
the temperature. Under ordinary cir
cumstances they are satisfied to limi;
their attire to a piece of carpet sus
pended from the hips, but yesterday
they appropriated all the loose cloth
ing they could find. Some of the men
presented ludicrous appearance as
they strutted around in loosely fitting
trousers and a long shirt hanging
over the whole combination almost to
their knees.
Every Igorrote carried pipe in his
mouth and accosted every visitor for
, tobacco. Most of the natives carry
rings in their ears half as large az
padlocks, greatly distorting their audi
tory organs.
The Igorrotes worked industriodsly
in constructing their shelter houses, o,
''fawis,'' as they are called in native
Igorrote. The 'fawi" consists of slen
der frame work over which is placed
a matched covering of straws~bundles
! The "fawi' is scarcely four feet higf
and is used principally only as sleep

Steel Betting.

Consul Frank 8. Hannah, of Mag
deburg, writes that in recent issue
of a German technical paper, the use
of steel bands to take the place of
leather betting for the transmission
of power is stated to have proved
practicable after repeated tests by
a firm in Charlottenburg, its advan-
tages being given as follows:
The points of superiority claimed
for this new method for the trans
mission of power are the following:
On account of its solidity a much
narrower band can be used, one
sixth of the width of the use of
leather band being sufficient; as
result of this the steel band is not
so heavy as the usual band, and, as
It can be very tightly adjusted, the
distance between the engine and the
machine Is not a matter of impor-
tance, as is the case with the leather
betting, where the transmission of
power is dependent upon the weight
OF the hanging belt; by unique con-
tact, the slipping is much reduced,
experiments showing not over one
tenth of one per cent. The entire
loss of power is very small, about one
per cent. BY the lightness of weight
of the steel betting, the influence Of
the centrifugal force is not so great,
allowing increased velocity.

Mo- Homo Of RaaeuInu MInera.

Wigan, Eng.-It is not believed that
a single man of the 70 miners who
were entombed by an explosion which
occurred Aug. 18 in the Maypole coal
mine here survived the disaster. The
four men reported rescued were en-
gagged In an adjoining building.
The search parties were driven back
by the fire. 1t will be impossible to
make a thorough examination of the
workings until the fire has been sub
dued and the air purified.
The ventilatlng fan, which was put
out of order by the explosion, has
been repaired. The rescue party re-
ports that the sight which met their
eyes was horrlfying. Not far from the
bottom of the shaft IS bodies were
found, all frightfully mutilated. Legs
and arms had been blown on and
heads battered almost beyond Cecogni-
tion.
The manager Of the mines declares
that between so and 10 men were un-
derground at the time OF the explO-
sion and that there is no hope that
any one will be brought out alive. The
women and children, however, who
remained at the pit head all night re-
fuse to leave until the bodies OF their
dead are brought to the surface. Moth
ing else will convince them of the
hopelessness Of waiting.
