Iron Fishing.

The bottoms of many Swedish
lakes are covered to thickness of
six or eight inches with fragments of
iron ore of the size of peas. This
lake ore consists chiefly of ochre, or
hydrated oxide of iron, mixed with
silicate and phosphate or iron, clay,
sand and other impurities. and is OBJ
tanned by very primitive methods.
In winter hole is cut in the ice, a
scraper attached to long pole is in
serted and all the ore within reach
is collected into a heap beneath the
hole. Some of the mud which has
been scraped together with the ore
is removed by stirring the mass with
poles and the ore is then scraped into
bags which have been sunk and is
hauled up. In summer this curious
mining operation is conducted in a
similar manner from RATS anchored
in the lake. Two miners can bring
up about four tons of ore in day.
Steam dredges have recently been in
stalled in few places. About thirty
years after the removal of the ore
a new layer of the same thickness is
found to have been produced by nat
ural chemical processes. - London

CITY HORSES FROM MISSOURI.
Mounted Squad Has 800 Matched Bays Mostly
From That State

Breeders Of the State of Missouri
seem, according to Bit and Spur. to
have monopoly in the matter of fur
nishing the type of horse demanded
for use by the mounted squad of the
New York police force.
There Is nothing so exacting about
these h. -3es that makes one section
of the country superior to any for
their production, and the fact that
up to this time this State has fur
nished them is more Of tribute to
the enterprise of Missouri breeders
than 1t is to any special advantage
possessed by that State for the pro-
duction of satisfactory horses for this
service.
These horses. which have acquired
an almost worldwide reputation, are
required to be bays. with black
names and tails, and to be about six
