REVEL IN COSTLY jEWELRY
New York Women Participate in Pros.
ferity That Has Come to the
Great Metropolis.

While her sisters in London, Paris,
Berlin and Petrograd are 'discarding
their Jewels. giving the gold to tho
common treasury and selling the gems
to swell relief funds and keep the wolf

Journal. Any of the leading Fifth
avenue diamond merchants will tell
one that hundreds of prominent Wall
street folk visit their showrooms
weekly to buy of the best. and the
best is never too good for them to
tender to their womenfolk.
Many European workers in gold and
silver, whose art is famous in Europe,
and who could not have been bribed
to work in this country a couple of
years ago, have come to these shores
seeking work which cannot be found
in Europe.
The great De Beers syndicate in
London has prevented an influx OF
gems on the market by purchasing
privately the collections Of jewelry
offered by prominent women in the
European centers, and this has un.
doubtedly held up the price for dia-
monds. Many great American jewel.
ers sent over representatives to Eu.

the hope that they could pick up quan.
titles of gems cheaply, but they came
back empty handed owing to the ac-

the master medicine by Mrs. Fannie
Heron OF 1910 Taylor St, Columbia
wife of an employe of the Columbia
street car company, in her story oil
the almost wonderful relief Tanlac
brought her.
Mrs. Heron must know what 1t is
TO suffer the keenest pain. for she
was confined to her bed for five
months with Rheumatism She could
not turn herself. and every move
meant the keenest pain. She began
taking Tanlac. and now she can walk
several blocks without suffering pain
or feeling tired. She has taken sew
en- bottles OF Tanlas and now weighs
more than she ever weighed before.
She said:
Her remarkable endorsement OF

ried On In the Region.

That crop production may be prac-
ticed north of the Arctic circle is one
OF the interesting facts brought out
by report on a reconnaissance soil
survey in Alaska. This embodies the
results Of a study Of the soils of a
vast area in Alaska by experts of the
bureau OF soils, made for the purpose
OF determining the possibilities OF
agricultural development.
1t was found that gardening is car
ried on and grass thrives in Alaska,
up to and north OF the Arctic circle
In addition it is shown that the eli.
mate and soils of Finland are very
similar to those of Alaska, the lati-
tude OF the two regions being practi-
cally identical. In Finland a number
Of crops are grown at a considerable
distance north of the Arctic circle.
Barley, for example, is generally
grown as far north as 6S degrees
30 minutes, or degrees north Of
the circle. Almost, 100000 acres in
Finland were under cultivation and in
improved meadow in 1911. That
country has a population of 3,140,000

This comparison with Finland
and another with parts of Siberia
are given to demonstrate the posi-
bility OF agricultural development In
Alaska.

Electric Steel Production,

Electric steel appears to be making
much progress in Germany. A report
for 1914 shows the total production
OF crucible and electric steel to have
been 1S4.400 tons and the electric
product was nearly 10000 tons-only
$500 less than the output of crucIble
steel. And more electric furnaces
were expected. or the 20 plans pro
