FISH FOR IRON THROUGH ICE
How the swedes Get Ore From the
Bottom Of Some Of Their
Lakes,

The bottoms Of many Swedish lakes
are covered to a 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 Of iron. clay, sand and other
Impurities, and yields pig iron of very
good quality.
~ The ore is obtained by very print,
tive methods. In winter hole Is cut
in the Ice. a scraper attached on q
long pole Is inserted and all of 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 oper
alton Is conducted IN q similar man.
ner from RATS anchored in the lake.
Two miners can bring UP about four
tons Of ore In a day. Steam dredges
have recently been installed in q few
places. About thirty years after the
removal Of the ore q new layer Of
the same thickness is found to have
been produced by natural chemical
processes.

They were such that Mrs. Brown had

But this time Mr.. Brown had taxi

vas packed and the expressman not

GOSSIP AND

Many people confuse gossip with
scandal, but the two things are
quite different. The scandal monger
is usually detested, while the gossip
is often universally popular. In
fact the popularity which it brings
in its train is one of the strongest
incentives TO gossip, A really ac-
complished gossip is a social acqui-
sition.
Thousands Of people who do not
gossip themselves like to listen to it,
1t saves them the trouble of talking.
The gossip is generally good natured.
The scandal monger seldom is. After
all, what is more interesting than
human nature That Is the stock
in trado Of the gossip, as it is of the
