WORLDS LARGEST IRON MINE
Enormous Supply Of Rich Ore 10 Lo-
Gated at kiruna, Lap
land.

The richest and probably the largest
iron ore mine In the world is located
at Kiruna. Lapland, in latitude 68k de-
grees north, which is about the same
as the northernmost boundary Of
Alaska. The climate is somewhat
milder than in Alaska, and these
mines are worked the year around.
About 1000 men are employed and
the equipment is all Of the most mod
ern machinery obtainable. Machine
tools for the repair shop, air com
pressors. and rock drills, and sew
eral of the largest steam and electric
shovels are OF American make. The
plant is at present operated by steam
power, the coal supply coming from
England and Spitzbergen, but the
electrification of the mines is in
progress, and this power will be used
exclusively as soon as the new power
plant of the state OF Sweden, now
under construction at Porjus Falls,
is completed. The transmission line
is completed and it is expected that
the power station will be ready to de-
liver current early in 1914. One hun
dred and fifty thousand horsepower
will be the capacity of this station,
and it will be transmitted over a dis
tance of $50 miles. The state railway
between Kiruna and Narvik is being
electrified and will be operated from
this station. The ore is shipped from
kiruna to Narvik on the Norwegian
coast by rail, and from there by water
to Germany, a small percentage find
ing its way to other countries.

Because It Was Underweieht.


Under the pure food and drugs act
ten cases were recently brought
against a New York city firm, which
is in the candy business, making a
speciality of what is known as penny
goods" All the goods were found to
be adulterated. Most of them con
tanned shellac, and some of them also
contained arsenic. In, every case the
firm pleaded guilty. Most of the can,
dies were sold as chocolate candies
but contained little or none of that
product. These are the goods bought
by small children who have received
a cent or two from parents or friends
sometimes intended for the missionary
box. but often straying to the candy
shop. In only one Of the ten cases
was a penalty imposed, and in this
case. carrying a fine Of $50, was not
for selling to little children as choco'
late candy a mixture containing arse
mic and shellac, but because the pack
age sold to the dealer was marked
five pounds and really contained only
4 pounds and 14x ounces, not enough

Doctors Lose bv Telephone.

DO you know" said the doctor
apologetically to the patient waiting
in his Office" that this prescribing by
phone is becoming serious business
for us doctors. Now, If had no phone
would be called to the house and ]
would charge my regular fee for a
visit But if attempted to charge for
prescribing over the telephone would
be thought an extortionist. Yet there
is no reason why l should not be paid
for my advice over the telephone just
as much as If I sat at the patients
bedside and prescribed. Take, for in.
stance, a case which should be watch.
ed for three or four days. Instead I'm
told. well call you, doctor. II there is
any change And then proceed to
call me over the telephone, give me
the symptoms and ask what is to be
done. OF course, there is no excuse
for going to the patients side after
the telephone bulletin. unless there is
a turn for the worse. So I'm cut right
out OF fee for a visit. believe that
we physicians should get together and
agree to charge q certain sum for pre-
scribing over the telephone"

Does an Injustice to CANNES.

Il never could see," cautiously re-
marked Kipling Daft, who often cogi-
tates deeply, why a low saloon should
be called 'doggery.' Dogs do not fore
gather in such places and put their
left hind paws up on the footrail and
tell Mike to settemupagain. Neither
does dog linger along till a late
hour Of the night, Dragging about how
he was just going to hit the feller
when he left, or telling funny stories
deftly interspersed with hiccoughs.
and then go winding home full of
choice liquors. fine cigars and seven
kinds Of billy-hell. Then, let US not
speak Of saloon as 'doggery,' even
If the men who congregate there do
at times recite more doggerel than is
good for them; but be truthful and
denominate 1t as 'mannery,' II
nothing will do US but that we must
call 1t out Of its name."-Kansas City

Method Of spearIna Fish.

In spite Of the march OF civilization.
there remains much that is still prim.
tive In Sicily. and curious sight at
Palermo is to see the fishermen
spearing fish In the harbor by the aid
Of glass-bottomed buckets (says the
Wide World Magazine). There are
many corners Of the world where fish
are speared. but perhaps the use OF tbe
glass-bottomed bucket in this connec-
ton Ii to be seen only at Palermo. The
fishermen lean far over the side Of
their boats. and hold the bucket ON the
water with one hand. poking their
heads into It as II engaged In the Hal
lowe'en game Of ducking for apples.
They hold q spear poised in the free
hand. and thus await the arrival Of
their victims. who are sighted through
the glass bottom Of the bucket, which

HORNS OF FANTASTIC SHAPE
East African Tribe Have . Peculiar
Method Of Dealing With
Their Oxen.

A tribe Of East Africa, called the
Suks. hammer and twist the horns
Of their cattle into all kinds OF fantas-
tic shapes. An OK with one horn that
points forward and the other back
ward. writes M. w. H. Beech in "The
Suk." is an object OF envy and admi-
ration to all; it is called kamar.
They believe that such an OK has
exceptional properties. Every fighting
man should have his kamar; those
who do not possess one are objects of
derision. When they prepare to start
on raidipg expedition, the men gath
er the kamars together. bedeck them
with ostrich-feathers, and lead them
to the river. There the warriors are
assembled; they dance round the sa-
cred oxen, flap their hands at them,
and kneel on one knee; they hold up
their shields in attitudes of defense
and brandish their spears, while they
utter weird war-cries, which are sup
posed to excite in the faint-hearted the
desire for battle. A captured kamar
is coveted prize, and the Suks
slaughter and eat it with much cere-
mony.
The Suks were originally an agricul-
tural people. In every plantation they
build little shelters on piles, whereon
sit the women and children whose
duty it is to give warning of the ap-
proach of elephants, and to scare
away birds. OF the members of the
tribe who do other than agricultural
work there is saying, God gave
them no sheep, SO he gave them cIev-
erness instead. d."-Youth's Companion.
