 Arrangements have been concluded ny the management of the Alaska h. iustrial cnmpany's Junbo mine for he monthly shipment of product Ipproximating 5,000 tons. To inc able to do this. two ships will be employed regularly and exclusively in the trans portation of Jumbo ore from the mine to the Tacoma shelter, one of these ships being always at the mine receiv- ing cargo. while the other is on her way to and from the shelter. One of these ships. the America. is now at che mine, and it is understood that the Sea-Lion. the tug which lowed her up. would return to the sound for the Haydn Brown. while the Ameri "a is being loaded, and then tow the .atter down and returning with her 10 the same for the Brown, thus alter mating between the two.

An African Forest.

An explorer describes a Central
Africa forest: "Ten miles west of the
lake begins the only piece Of real vir-
gin forest met with. 1t is throughout
a dense virgin forest, and almost I'm
penetrable. It consists of very large
trees of many varieties. The upper
parts are festooned with light gray
ish-green moss, hanging In long
streamers. and giving to the forest
very fantastic appearance When
these long streamers are agitated BY
a storm they make the whole forest,
seen from one of ahe hills near, look
like rough sea. Again, when the sun
Is vertical the whole forest appears
dark. but when the sun is low the gen.
eral effect ON the sunny side is cur
iously light.
"All the trees are bound together with
innumerable lianas and creeping plants
Between the stems Ia a dense tangled
mass Of lesser vegetation. The forest
stands to great extent in the water
and mud of the swamp A singular
feature Of 1t is the abruptness with
which II begins and ceases on the
plain. The grassy swamp or open
country reaches in the mighty wall
of trees, which continue in the same
density from one side to the other.
There is no smaller wood or scrub out
side, forning a transition from the op-
en- plain OF the forest.
'Inside. the silence and bloom are
accentuated by the apparent absence
OF animal or bird life. There are some
herds of buffaloes that make 1t q
headquarters, elephants visit It occa-
sionally, monkeys and parrots ara
sometimes seen, and harnessed antel-
ope now and then appears at the edge;
but the general impression left is
one OF lifelessness."

rice. and cotton and wheat

rice, and cotton and wheat. n
There is also a rank weed--a sodt
of swamp bamboo which reaches a
height of eight or ten feet--that
makes paper. In fact 1t surpasses
for this purpose any other plant
which the governmhnt experts have
yet discovered. Within radius OF
100 miles OF Washington, DR.. Cal
loway estimates that theme are 1OO,-
900 acres of this plant. and II Its
manufacture into paper should be
undertaken, he figures that the
swampy waste land upon which It
grows would be worth about $50, an
acre. And 1t Is just as widely dis
tributed all over the country.
Agricultural Explorer David q.
Fairchild of the Department, has
been searching the world over for
new plants which promise we'll in
paper making, and which perhaps
adapted to American climate. NO
official announcement of the De-
|partment's tests will be issued until
an exhaustive series of eperiments
shall have been concluded.

Making War Horses Invisible


A special military commission IL
now sitting in Berlin considering the
best means of making cavalry as In
visable as possible In warfare.
Harmonizing the mems uniforms
with natural conditions as much as
possible is not enough. and the com
mission is now discussing the advisa-
bility Of dyeing the horses or screening
them with light canvas trappings,
At the War Office yesterday 1t was
said that several experiments had been
made in this direction during the war
in South Africa. ~ "a. 'H
One official said: my horses were
dyed, but 1t was found that the dye
soon washed off all except gray horses.
Several vegetable dyes and Condy's
Fluid diluted were used, but the ex-
periments proved Of little value.
Canvas trappings made the horses
perspire and impeded their movements,
and besides. when the sun ia behind
the cavalry, the horses legs can be
seen through the canvas.
The best screen for cavalry used In
South Africa was combination Of
various heather-llke shrubs picked up
on the veldt. Hhese plants were In
many cases strung upward and dawn
ward from the trappings. and gave the
appearance. when cavalry were moving
slowly across the sky line, of waving
vegetation"

said:

course last winter was not financial
success and We ran behind nearly one
hundred dollars. To avoid a recur-

It retains these excellent qualities

"Porpoise leather is used for maxi

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, June S-Why did not
Congress determined on a day for
adjournment sufficiently far enough
in advance to Insure the winding
|up of legislation by that day and
yet relieve the country of suspense?
Simply because Uncle Joe" Cam
non would just as soon trust fine
setting of Plymouth Rock eggs with
an egg sucking dog as to let the Sem
ate have the upper hold on an ap-
preparation bill.
An experience the Speaker had
back In the fifty-seventh Congress,
when he was chairman of the com
mittee on appropriations taught him
a lesson. He swore everlasting ven
geance and he has stuck to the
faith like an adhesive plaster ever
since.

grsss, the unsuspecting representa-
tlves In the lower house had agreed

firm. They stood so long that Can
non and the House had to agree to
the South Carolina item In order to

Not sincs that day has the House

agreement to adjourn until few
hours before the time. A tentative
arrangement among the leaders may
be reached about getaway day but
