Now. the natural constltu- lion of all of these Is well known, and chemistry produces them daily for com mcrcial purposes.

The researches of various scientific men have established the fact that the phe- uomeu1l is due to very minute differ erces of curvature in the polished face, differences so minute that they do not affect the ordinary use of the mirror as a looking glass and that can be de tected only by delicate optical tests.
 The cnly remaining mystcrr has been as to how these delicate differ ences of curvature were produced in exact correspondence to the pattern on the back.

ONE HINT OF TIE TROUBLE
 THAT IS BREWING N INDIA

Seven thousand troops marched out O, Peshawar one Thursday recently, to begin operations under Major-General Sir J. willcocks against the Zakks Khel tribe of Airidis, who have been stirring up trouble on the northwest frontier Of India.
 The troops moved toward Ali IusiId, which is at tbe entrance 10 the Bazaar valley. The exposition is the frs, un- der Lord Kitchener's new system.
 The Zakka KheIs inhabi5 in summer the southern portion Of the Maidau val ley, in the Tirah, which was the scene Of the last campaign agains ,the Airidis. Ia the winter the Zrkka KheIs move towards the Khyber. They are the most daring and treacherOus Of all the Afridis, and in hill warfare are for midabee host. They can muster about 4OOO fighting men.
 Ia the campaign of 1897 they were conspicuous for their attacks on rear guards and for harrsssing tactics gen. erally, and it was 8 party of these  tribasmen which cut up a detachment of the Northampton regiment

Many people would be glad 60 have 8 sidewalk across the river attached tO the south s.ds of the raiIrold bridge. Why not get about it-tt the railroad men will give permission? 1t seems to be a fAvori,e walk by many of our ,owuspeople, as well as tourists, and leads to some ot our finest scenery, as well as to Clark's ranch and green houses. which are, ID themselves, of tn- terest to many. A long tie for every third or fourth tie iu the bridge, 8 walk three feet wide with a railing would rot mean very heavy expense. Why not call mass meeting, appoint a soliciting committee and see wha, skagway would do for herself in the way oi this much needed improvement.
