Iron Lands in Northern Wisconsin

In 1915 the Wisconsin Geo
logical Survey examined twenty
townships in northern Wiscon-
sin TO deter mine what indications
of iron formation are present.
AS many people are starting ex'
ploration for iron ia this part OF
the state it has been found ad.
visable to issue information re-
garding these townships in adj
vance of publication of the
printed report. Accordingly
blueprints have been prepared
showing each of the twenty
townships with the magnetic
lines, roads, streams, etc. These
are sold at the cost of making
the blueprints.
The townships covered lie IN
Ashland, Bayfield,, Price, Saw
yer and Rusk counties and in
clude the following:
Township 80 N; Ranges l Il, l
2 and 5 w.
Township 81 N: Ranges l 3. ]
2, 8, 4, and 5 w,
Township 38 N; Ranges l b, l
2, and 8 w.
Township Al N; Ranges 3,4,
and 5 w.
Township AZ, Ranges 3 and 4 w.
Township 43, N; Range 3 W.

Apple Peddlers Of New York City.

On the east side af New York city.
on Ludlow street, south of Grand, Is
the wholesale market of the apple ped
dlers Here there is an animated scene
men wildly shouting and gesticulat-
ing, sidewalks crowded with forests OF
apple barrels. 1t is almost impossible
to pass along even in the street for the
dozens of peddlers' carts lined up there.
Suddenly there is a commotion, and u
crowd gathers at the curb. A barrel
of apples is on sale. bids rise at a pen
ny a bid, and finally the highest bidder
carries off his prize. Everywhere are
barrels overlooking with cheerful red
and yellow apples which the peddlerS
will carry off to peddle In other parts
of the city. The wholesale apple deal
ers rent easements along this street in
which to store their wares. In the
morning they bring out and strew the
barrels all over the narrow, dingy
stretch of Ludlow street.

Divorces Are Costly In Canada.

Canada's divorce court is never en-
tered except by members of the
wealthy class and not frequently by
them. Only four to six divorces are
granted in Canada annually.
There is no record Of a poor man
ever getting divorce in the Dominion,
It is said. The average cost of di-
vorce in Canada is $1,000, and the de-
cree is granted for only one offense-
marital infdelity.
The legislature at Ottawa appoints
a divorce committee each session, and
all cases are settled by this committee.
There Is no appeal In divorce action
Those living I'm the western part OF
the Dominion have to pay much more

expenses.-Detroit Tribune.
A Delayed Execution.
An eighteenth century execution on
Remington common was stopped for
a time owing to- strange cause. On
Aug. 10, 1903, two days before the date
of the execution, a heavy fog came
over London, accompanied by thunder
and lightning and torrents of rain.
These conditions lasted for nearly for
ty-eight hours, and many people be-
lieved that the last day had arrived.
When the time fixed for the execution
arrived the assembled crowd cried
shame on the sheriff for hanging man
when the world was coming to an end.
AS he persisted in his preparations,
they burst through the barriers and
stopped the proceedings, shouting that
the culprit might as wen wait a few
minutes, when the grand summons
would come to all The sheriff had to
obtain the assistance Of force Of sol
diers before the execution could be car
ried out.
