A Queer Mining Camp.


OF such an astounding anomaly as
a mining camp without saloon al
most anything may be believed. Il
occasions no surprise, therefore. To
learn that there hasn't been man
killed in camp yet. Why. they even
sent one misguided wandcrer from
Colorado to the provincial penitenti-
airy for three months for calling a
man n scab, III such sterile field
an organizer for the Western Fedora :
ton of Miners toiled for six weeks
absolutely without result, then left in
sublime disgust. The only organiza.
ton that has been able to get foot
hold in Cobalt is Sunday school.
Pullman cars run to the camp. sub
urban trains are operated in both di-
rections. and work has begun on an
electric railroad system to connect the
outlying camps with the metropolis
of the new mining region. But while
Cobalt may be moral and modern,
| it is certainly not pretty. The houses
of logs, implanted rough boards. and
tar paper are scattered promiscuous-
ly over the hills without any attempt
at order. The streets are made up of
stumps, mud holes. and rocks in about
equal proportions. and there are no
sidewalks.
The biologists Upset.
In other respects Cobalt is the
strangest mining camp on earth. In
the first place. the geologists are pre-
pared TO prove that silver has no bus
mess there,-it doesn't belong in the
formation at ali. But it was there
just the same, right ont In plain view.
There are places in the woods today
where veins foot wide carrying sew

on the surface. In more than one
instance public roads cross such veins

Another Industry for the Farm.

The Secretary of the Farmers Ma
tional Committee is of the opinion
that the time has arrived when al
cohol will be successful competitor
of coal oil. The general uses of the
denatured article are as fuel, in heat
ing, cooking and lighting. 1t is said
to be cheaper than coal oil at present
prices. Then it is smokeless, sootless
and odorless. The industry is of
course in it's infancy and it is expect
ed that in time alcohol will be much
cheaper than it is now, at fifty cents
a gallon. At present corn is the main
material from which the alcohol that
is used for commercial purposes in
this country is made, but in time it
will be made from many other and
cheaper materials.

The Shapes of Eggs.

Prof. Darcy Thompson recently en-
tertained the Geological Society of
London with mathematical discus
sion of the differences in the shapes
of eggs. A few eggs, like those of the
owl and the tortoise, are spherical,
or nearly so; few, like the grebe's
or the cormorant's, are elliptical, with
symmetrical ends; the great majority,
like the hens, are ovoid, or blunter
at one end than the other. The hens
egg is always laid blunt end foremost.
Eggs which are the most unsymmetri-
cal are also eggs of large size rela-
lively to the parent bird. The yolks
of eggs are spherical, whatever the
from the entire egg might be. This
Professor Thompson showed to be due
to their being enclosed in a fluid, the
white" which makes the pressure
everywhere on the surface of the yolk
practically constant.
