steel production. Up to June. 1910.
there were about lis electric furnaces
of all types of which seventy were
in use, ten were not working, and
thirty-eight were being built. There

1870 there We're twenty-nine Heroult
furnaces with "A capacity of eighty

in course of erection, while in June.
1871 there were forty three furnaces

Hungary in 1910 amounted to almost
112.0 900 tons, which is an increase of
IS, 900 tons over the figures OF 1909.
Those are the only countries for which
the exact output of electric steel Is
published. probably the figures for
Sweden, France Belgium and Italy
would also show large gains. The in
crease will likely be more than main

new furnaces of various types will be
started during the year, and many

Fate of PortuqaI's Homer.

1.-THE Lusiad" is one Of the noblest
records ever written of national glory
and success. Camoens, its gifted au-
thor, determined to do for Portugal
what Homer had done for Greece. The
great poem was written in the six
teenth century, which has been called
the heroic age of Portugal, and its
main feature is the rounding Of the
Cape of Good Hope by Vasco da Cana,
while most interesting episode is
the browning after death Of Inez de
Castro as queen Of Portugal. ''The
Lusiad" took its name from Lusius,
who was said to have founded Lisbon.
It's author was born about 1920, and
his career, which began brilliantly,
was blighted by the death of broken
heart Of the lady of his love, for whose
sake he was banished from the land.
He wrote 'The Lusiad'' in his Danish
ment and was recalled in 1871, losing
on the way all his property except his
poem. Pensioned at first by the king,
this great epic poet of Portugal died
In great poverty in 1870, when his
patron was also dead.

Down In a Coal Mine.

To the ear accustomed to the con-
slant sound Of a living world the still
ness of a coal mine, where the miles
Of crosscuts and entries and the I'M
yielding walls swallow up all sounds
and echo is a silence that is complete,
but as one becomes accustomed to the
silence through long hours of solitary
work sounds become audible that
would escape an ear less trained. The
trickling murmur of the gas, the spat-
tering fall of lump of coal loosened
by some mysterious force from
Granny in the wall, the sudden knock
Ing and breaking of a stratum far up
In the rock above or the scurry of a
rat off somewhere in the darkness
strike on the ear loud and startling.
The eye, too, becomes trained to pene-
trate the darkness, but the darkness is
SO complete that there is a limit-the
limit of the rays cast by the pit lamp.

He hunted for the meat and skin OF
the buffalo like Buffalo Bill, DR..
Carver, Texas Jack and the famous
Wild Bill and other westerners who
have since figured In the theatrical
and circus business.
Bill Hills is probably q better shot
today than any OF the above men,
still an active hunter. For num-
Der OF years he followed his profess

hunting on the side. OF late years he
has been travelling for the Union Me-

says is the greatest country in the

big opened hearted chap who looks
younger than he is, and who proves
that outdoor life is conducive of good

made for him by a young Chinook

saving the life Of her liege lord from

stocks are of Mastodon ivory which
the owner picked up in Alaska in the
form of Mastodon tusks during hunt
ing trips. He says that the scientists
figure it out that the Mastodons in
