ALCHEMY|NMODERN
 F0UNDR|ES
MAKING STEEL IS WORTH MORE TO THE WORLD THAN
 MAKING GOLD.

In the days Of the mediaeval al chemists it was believed that it was possible by means of some undis- covered laboratory operation to con vert the baser metals into gold. With the development Of modern chemistry this belief was shown to in which the older workers held it.
 At the same time there has been evolved as a result of the work of the mere recent alchemists and met allurgists a transmutation in the properties of that most widely used material steel which is of far more real value 10 the world than any formula for making gold could ever be.
 The discovery that iron containing a certain proportion of carbon con stituted steel transformed society and created modern civilization; without steel We should relapse into barbarism. Today it is known that in addition to carbon there are other elements the addition of which will impart to steel certain prop critics increasing immensely its value as material of construction and of operation.
 Among the substances which were formerly classed as the rare" ele- ments there are several which were rare only because there was not sufficient use for them to provide an incentive to discover natural sources of supply.
 Thus vanadium, known as an ele- ment for a hundred years, estimated as having value many times that of gold and used solely for few artistic purposes in coloring fab rics, has within a few years risen immensely in importance because Of the knowledge which has been ac- quired of the valuable properties which it imparts to steel. while at the same time it has fallen in cost to a point about one-half of sill yer because the very demand has revealed hitherto unknown deposits
 The influence of vanadium upon steel may well be regarded as a triul ph of modern metallurgy, and vanadium steel has become one of the most important of the so-called alloy steels. The older steels, now known broadly as "carbon" steels in distinction to the various alloy steels. had certain fairly we'll as certained properties together with determinate limitations.
 They could be made ductile with in certain limits of strength or strong within certain approach to brittleness, but when both strength and toughness were demanded it was realized that something else in ad- dition to carbon was essential. That som ,thing has been shown to be vanAdilm.

It's great story as told by J. E. Baker, the Y. C. Co. outrider who came over firm the Takotna with Captain Boorucr last week. Baker saw him after he had arrived at the post with his toes and fingers black, and says he will probably only lose a few of them, Besides that. he Is much older man.
 He don't know how many days he was out there in the hills alone with his gun, struggling through the deep snow He killed a bird now and then. and finally got caribou, but could only pack little bit of it. He was all in when he reached the first Indian camp, but they took him in and tended him as best they could. No, it was not sum- mcr picnic.
 But that isn't all Lee Page, who used 10 he with the N c. Co., at Fairbanks, took good long look into the eyes of death way up on East Fork this winter.
 Page was out with his shot gun looking for birds. and the gun went off accidentally shattering a whole finger close to the palm. Af- ter he reached his cabin he tried to cut it off with a razor, but from pain and loss of blood he tainted repeatedly, and it took him two days to finish the job
 He was a long ways from a brother man, white or red He fin ally stopped the flow of blood and started for help, and he, too, found friends in camp of natives. It looked like blood-poisoning and a long ways from medicines, but they pulled him through.
 Say, a man alone in the hills is somtimes very uncomfortable, isn't he? Iditarod Pioneer

VELVET IN VOGUE FOR SHOES
Leather Makers Fear They Will Be Forced to Close Their Factories.

Forced to Close ihelr FactorieS.
 ST. LOUIS, Feb. 4 Velvets vogue is giving the leather men much worry just now. Tanners are thinking of doing something to bring leather back into favor for shoe purposes in order to increase the output and give employment to wOrkmen.
 Velvet shoes attained great popu- larity last summer and all indications are that they will be even more pop ular the coming spring and summer
 It is all the same to the shoe manufacturers whether they make shoes of leather or velvet, but it is not all the same to the tanners. While the manufacturers are work ing overtime to turn out the velvet shoes. the tanners are restricting their output for the very good req son that very little leather is wanted for women's shoes.
 It is estimated that 30 per cent of the footwear sold from New England centers is velvet. In some factories the velvet shoe output Is as high as so per cent. of the total The retail price of the present sea sons output would be s3,OO0,000. St. Louis manufacturers so far have not been hit so hard by the fad. as the velvet shoe trade is supplied largely by New England
 Women seem to be going to ex- tremes as far as height of cut is concerned.
 They either want extremely low cut effects in their pumps or OK lords or higher than ordinary cuts in their boots The latter are chic in their severity, but, the low-cuts are frequently embroidered, trimmed with fine-cut jet, or decorated with handsome buckles.
 The last named are oftentimes of costly design-heirlooms, perhaps.

LA BOHEME" WELL SUNG.
French Grand Opera Company 1
Another Success at Belasco.

la Boheme," than which there are
few more dramatic or tuneful operas, was
presented by the French Grand Opera
Company of New Orleans at the Belasco
last evening before a large audience,
which appeared to drink in each we'll
known air as if welcoming and appre-
ciating it to the fullest extent, for it has
been a long time since Puccinrs compo-
sition has been heard in this city. But
the applause which greeted each familiar
solo, duet, or chorus plainly showed that
the opera had lost nothing either by
reason of its absence or by its rendition
last evening.
To Mile. ROLAND, whose Manon and
Violetta charmed audiences earlier in the
week, belongs the chief share of the
praise due for the extremely creditable
performance last evening. 1t was she
who, from the very moment of her first
entrance with the beautiful solo My
Name Is Mimi" captivated the audience
and held its attention until the very last
moment, when, dying of consumption,
she breathes out her love for Rodolphe
in one of the tenderest, saddeSt, but
withal one of the most tuneful bits of
the entire score. Mile. ROLAND makes an
IDEAL MIMI from a pnySlcdl STANDPOINT,
and her voice-sympathetic, clear, and
resonant-earned for her many encores
last evening. Particularly good was her
rendition of the duets with Rodolphe and
Marcel in the first and third acts and
in the death scene preceding the final
curtain.
Mile. Cortez, who sung the title role in
Carmen" on Tuesday, was intrusted with
the role Of Musetta, her mezzo-soprano
voice blending excellently with the tenor
of NJ. Morati and the barytone of NJ.
Montana IN the famous sextet in the
second act Taken in its entirety, the
opera was one of the best sung and best
acted productions which this company
has given. and the fact that 1t will be
repeated at the Wednesday matinee next
week will doubtless attract a large num-
Der of those who stayed away last night
for reasons religious.
"Sigurd." sung for the first time in this
city, is the bill for this evening. with
NJ. Fontaine and Mile. Scalar in the
leading roles.
