Some queer things happened at times.
One night new man was out with me.
We We're crouching by the edge of a

the honking everywhere, when along

wATERPaooFING MATCHES.
Simple Method That May Be of Use to
Campers.

Perhaps sol1e of your readers would
be interested 70 know that I have found
q simple, inexpensive way to water
proof matches.
Into some melted parafin (care being
taken that it was as cool as possible)
dipped a few ordinary parlor matches.
After withdrawing them and allowing
them to cool it was found that they
scratched almost as easily as before be-
ing coated with the wax. Several were
held under water for six or seven hours
and all of them lighted as easily as be-
fore immersion. When the match is
scratched the paraffin is first rubbed off
and the match lights in the usual way.
Matches treated as above would be
very useful on camping or canoeing
trips, as they do not absorb moisture.
Since more rubbing is required to light
them than the ordinary match, it would
be practically impossible to set them on
fire by accidental dropping. - Scientific

During the past two years the United

paid out more than $11S,O0O for strike
benefits. Nevertheless the organization
is at present in a fourishing condition
and growing stronger.
The various trades in the building in
dustry of Jamaica, West Indies, are
organizing into unions, which will be
affiliated with the American Federation
of Labor, whose agents have assisted in
the organization of the unions.
The coopers of Edinburgh, Scotland,
who are on a strike at the present time,
have sent out an appeal to trade union
lists the world over, asking them to boy
colt the beer of the brewers who will
not agree to the demands of the strikers.
The Importance of iron, steel and tin
plate textiles and silk to the people OF
PENNSYLVANIA becomes apparent, when 1t
is stated that the wage roll for these in
dustries aggregated last year nearly
S145. 100000, distributed among more
than 100000 workers.
A comparison of the wages paid in the
wooden mills of Italy, France, England
and the United States shows that the
wage earners in the wooden industry OF
the United States receive nearly thfee
times the pay of Italian workers. double
that of the French, and 20 per cent.
more than the English.
A remarkable feature of the recent
Wyoming coal miners strike was that
Japanese and Chinese miners and lapor-
ers made common cause with Ihelr o3tu-
casian fellow workers. 1t was pfoDaDly
the first time on record that the Orlen-
falls and the Americans stood together Ill

About So per cent. of the employees or
the cotton mills in Japan are women ana

1913 cents a day for eleven hours work.
The men average double what the Wom-

in this industry, there is prospect that,
before long, such unions will be formed.

shipyards boilermakers receive ~ Genus,

week from the western and southern
parts of the state were free in their
expressions of establishment at the
tremendous growth in population and
industry which the development of
our copper resources has brought
about in the last several years. They
had read much of what was going
on here and had gathered other large
ideas about us through business re-
lations, but what they saw with
their own eyes was so much bigger
so stupendous in its mighty magni-
tude at mines, smelter and towns,
that they were fairly taken from
their feet. They go away with the
conviction that while they knew
much of Nevada, previous TO visiting
the properties of Ely district, they
measured up the tremendous resourc-
es and the Industrial activity of the
state far short of that justly and
conservatively due. So 1t is with all
