The Ingenuity or inventors.


aTne ingenuity OF Inventors ana
manufacturers Is ever at work In the
endeavor to reduce the expense OF
production. and at the same time to
improve the quality OF articles having
q large sale. This Is not only benefi-
cial to the purchasing public, but 1t
inures to the benefit OF the producer
in increasing sales and preventing
competition. This has been so In the
case OF farm machinery, clothing,
shoes, bicycles, ETC., and now 1t is APP
parent In the safety razor field. Thou
sands of this style of razor have been
sold at from $3.50 to IS each and CIV
en- satisfaction. Recently manufac-
turers have applied more scientific
principles and improved methods in
their manufacture, and the result is
seen in the "Shrp Shavr" razor, which
Is sent postpaid for twenty-five cents
in stamps by the Book Publishing
House, 134 Leonard street, New
York. It Is superior to any razor
sold, being bought largely by those
already owning the highest priced
razors. Not every one knows that
the best results are obtained by hav-
ing two or three razors and alternat-
ir.g them in use. This practice of al
ternating possibly accounts for the
very large sale of this low priced i'm
plement.

is Lucky Bargain in the Alaska
Purchase.

An obscure paragraph in a recent
government report throws an inter
Esting light ON Uncle Sans peculiar
Rptness as real estate agent invest
Ing his own funds. The old gentle
man has made some OF the biggest
real estate deals in history, and
though none of these quite equals
the entirely abnormal, if not apoch-
fyphal, purchase of Manhattan Is
land for s24, yet he has driven some
very thrifty bargains.
The paragraph referred ito says
that $7,000,000 worth or precious
metals is taken every year out of Sc
ward Peninsula, Alaska Seward
Peninsula is only one of the many
profitable mining districts of the
northern territory, and the special
significance of the figures lies in the
fact that they represent the entire
original cost of the Alaskan Territory,
That is to say, one district alone re-
turns every year the cost price of
the whole fabulously rich country,
whose resources have hardly been
scratched as yet. Incidentally, it is
pretty coincidence that Seward Pen
Ursula should make this showing,
lsince Secretary Seward, who negotiat-
ed the purchase Of Alaska from Rus
STA forty years ago, was both criti
cised and ridiculed for paying the
enormous sum" of $1,000, 900 for all
