Admiral Rojestvensky may enjoy the rare
experience of reading his own obituary.
The accompanying details Of his disastrous
battle in the Sea of japan will hardly af-
ford him pleasant mental diversion in mid
summer, but the knowledge that he is bet
ter off than a hundred dead admirals
should yield some consolation. Though a
dead one in an official sense, he is for
tunate compared with his associate in mis-
fortune, Admiral N~ebogatoff. who is per-
mitted to visit and converse with his
equally unfortunate army brother, General
Stoessel. in the st. Petersburg prison.

WAS IT INCENDIARY FIRE7
Flames in Red Lodge Coal Mine Be

Logs.

Butte, Mont.-The origin of the fire
in the East Side mine of the North
western Improvement company at Red
Lodge is attributed to the work of in

discovered they were observed issuing
from a pile of logs which, apparently,

General Superintendent c. G. Anderson

bottom of the mine, where the fire
was the thickest, and directed the
work of rescue. The men were found
in a pitiable condition, strewn along
the tracks, some with their faces down
and others crouched in the small
chambers and almost overcome by the
smoke and heat. 1t is due to Superin-
tendent Anderson IS heroic efforts that
so many lives were saved.
The six men who were entombed APP

range of the rescuers. They failed t.

WATCH JEWELS

Within the last few years nine new
jewel settings have been added to the
movement of a frst-cIass watch. These
new jewels have created renewed de-
mand for expert jewel settlers, and at
present nearly every watch factory In
this country is producing less than Its
capacity because of this lack of settlers.
Each stone is shaped to circle, and
bored through the centre, each boring
being just little less than the diameter
of the pinion used in the factory where
it is finally to be placed in the upper
or lower plate of watch.
Before the jewel gets to the setter IL
has been put into lathe, and by means
of minute steel point covered with
diamond-dust and oil the centre has been
enlarged to fit the steel pinions which are
to be. housed in it. In the hands OF the
setter the cylinder is put into lathe
With moistened finger the jewel Is
picked up and placed inside the cylinder
as it rests on the tip of the revolving
lathe shaft. With a pointed tool the
setter presses against the revolving cylln-
der edge, forcing the soft metal to over
lap and close upon the sapphire or ruby
till it is embedded firmly in the metal
cushion then pressure upon follower
at the other end of the lathe brings a
cutter TO bear upon the metal circumter-
ence, turning it to the exact size OF the
jewel hole in the plate of the watch, with
the hole in the centre of the jewel exactly
in the centre of the metal setting.

PRICE oP BEEF CONTINUES HIGH

f. WASHINGTON, June 15th.-To increase
the supply of beef and thereby lessen its
cost to the American householder is one
of the principal objects underlying the
efforts of the Department of Agriculture
to secure a proteid that will thrive in the
semi-arid regions of the Northwest. Beef
and beef products are said to have reached
the highest prices recorded in 20 years,
and the dealers claim this is due to the
scarcity of cattle.
The beef market at present is being
supplied by corn-fed cattle, which always
bring the highest prices. CRASHED cattle
are not as good in quality as those fed on
corn. The beef that is secured from the
cattle having proteid foods included in
their fare is considered the best, and,
despite the contentious of vegetarians, it
is generally conceded the human body
must receive its muscle-making food from
meat containing proteids. 1t is to in
crease the supply of this kind of beef by
increasing the proteid belt in the West
that the Department of Agriculture has
again sent NeiIs S. Nansen of Brookings,
S, D., to make a thorough investigation
of the plant life OF Northern Russia and
Siberia,
