IRON HILL MINES
DIR. Fahrig, Scientist, Making
Investigations

Work at the old iron ore pits Oh
Iron Hill has been discontinued,
awaiting the report of DR.. Fahrig.
geologist of international reputa.
ton, who is now examining the
field.
DIR. Fahrig, with three or four
assistants, has been working on
his report for the last five months,
and expects to be at least another
month before it is completed. The
examination has been Of the most
thorough nature, and the report
will give in indisputable terms the
facts concerning this old landmark
which has been for so many years
of much interest to this locality.
Although all operations have
been suspended for the present,
awaiting the report of DR.. Fahrig,
a visit to the camp will amply re
pay the summer pedestrian. In
the furnace room at the camp are
specimens Of ore taken from depths
VARYING from ) feet to 100 feet,
with the results from the tests OF
these in small vessels, all OF which
are labelled and numbered ready
for transfer to the examiner S
chart. In the adjoining room
where the pure chemicals, etc, are
kept is an analytical weighing ma
chine which, placed in a vacuum,
is operated from the outside. This
wonderful machine will register
with unquestionable accuracy the
weight Of hair from the human
head.
A particularly interesting spot
is the cut from which the ore was
excavated by the Welshmen in the
eighteenth century. DR.. Fahrlg
has found that q cubic feet OF
earth makes one ton, and calculat-
ing upon this basis, the casual WIS.,
itor can gain some slight concep-
ton of the tons and tons OF ore
handled by the early operators OF
the mine. In compiling the facts
for his report, DR.. Fahrig has had
trenches dug, from which he con-
cludes that ore is silicious iron, the
strain running east and west, and
lying in alternate layers, with bar
ren ridges between. A month ago

CAMP IDEAL A

They all declare that meal times

Is Camp Ideal a success? Just
ask the Newark Boy Scouts or any
of their numerous visitors and you
will be told it is the best ever. Sit
uated on the Northeast river a
short distance from Charlestown
it offers just the kind Of camp life
that appeals to boy-and to
grown-ups as well isolated just
enough from town and neighbors
to give it the proper atmosphere OF
wildness; the river directly in
front of the camp affording bath

fun and play with a minimum

with this belief was one little chap

Grateful Scots and the Baapipss.
 What Scot ever called the pipes a musical instrument? asks Harper's Weekly. In the old wicked days bands of predatory English marched over the border. They were as bold and sturdy as the Scots and far greater in num- Der. C1uny MacWhauppert. the laird of Glengarramoyle, in desperate need of sure defense invented the pipes in secret and never let 8 skiEi out of them till he faced the invading Sas- senach on the bloody field Then Cluny blew melody so fierce, so eldritch, so grinding and blistering to the soul, that every clansman ripped and slashed his way through the Eng fish hordes, intent on only one thing to escape the fendish screeching of the pipes. And that is why every grateful Scot to this day cherishes the bagpipe, the preseryer of Scottish in dependence. He has beaten his sword into a plowshare, but he will always upheld the pipes to beat the band.

Great lnventiona Are Rare.

Invention to some extent resembles mining. Thousands of miners plod wearily through the mountains and valleys searching for precious metals or outcroppings of ore. One among thousands strikes the big bonanza. About 800 patents are issued every week by the United States patent of flee. Only one in many years is for something start1ingly new and mean ing millions of dollars to the inventor or the people who may gain control of it. Only about one inventor in every hundred secures a monetary return which will equal the cost of the inven- ton and patent. Of the 10000 or 60.- GOO patents issued every year there are few which are of such importance as to attract widespread attention, and only st long intervals is there an in vention which revolutionizes condi- lions, such as the telegraph, telephone. the photograph, typesetting machines. wireless telegraphy. aerial navigation and moving pictures.--Arthur Wallace Dunn in Iseslie's.

.Foulards are fine silks for now.

Fonlard is silk that is wonderfully useful. Iris of weight and finish that is good at any time-and that is especially delightful for warm all through the warm weather.
 Foulard is cool. It is. light. It is strong. It wears and wears and wears. It has a lllster that is pleasing. And it is so varied in pattern that it is SweII-suited to simple dress as to richly-trimmed gown. There seems to be no limit to the field of suit ability for fo1lard; probably that is why it is such a flaw orite.

The late Archdeaeon Colley in leay- ing his body to the Birmingham uni versity to be anatomized was not so original. says the London Sphere, as Jeremy Bentham, who left his body to University college. London, for the same purpose, but arranged that it should not be buried afterward. but kept there. You may see the skeleton there to this day wearing it's clothes as in life, the face all dried up.

Rridsa and White.

In oIden days a bride of the poorer classes went to her wedding in white, as a warning to the public that since she brought nothing to the marriage her husband was not responsible for her debts. At the beginning of the eighteenth century brides began to in- troduce touches of color into their cos tunes. Blue was for constancy and green for youth. Yellow was never worn, as 1t stood for jealousy.
