Tortoise Shell.

The finest Of tortoise shell Is said to
be that which comes from the Indian
archipelago, although much Of that
obtained on the Florida coast Is of the
very best quality, says the Scientific
American. There are three rows Of
plates on the back of the animal called
BLADES" by the fishermen. In the
central row are five plates and in each
Of the others four plates, the latter
containing the best material. Besides
these, there are twenty-five small
plates around the edges Of the shell,
known as fleet" or moses" The big
gest turtle does not furnish more than
sixteen pounds Of shell. Formerly the
undershcll was discarded as worthless,
but now 1t is much esteemed for its

A Siberian Wonder.

The scientists have for years been
perplexed over the wonderful frozen
well ut Yakutsk, Siberia. AS long ago
as 1898 1t was announced that the
ground was frozen to an abnormal
depth at the place referred to- In the
summer of 1899 a Russian merchant
set a gang of men to the task of ascer-
tanning the depth Of the frozen stra-
tum. They gave up the job after dig
ging some thirty feet in solidly frozen
ground. The Russian Academy of Sci
ences took the matter in hand and be-
tween 1898 and 1914 dug to depth Of
1872 feet and then abandoned the shaft
because the earth was still frozen as
hard as rock. Natural cold could
never penetrate to such depth, aud
the phenomena Is still unexplained.

Chicago, Aug. Ex-Governor LoWueH
will place the coal situation directly
before mine operators. He viii give
them an opportunity to voluntarily
re-adjust the present price downward.
If they do not agree drastic measures
will be resorted to.
This was the reported outcome OF a
conference at Springfield yesterday
between the governor and members
of the State Council OF Defense. The
council members reported to aim on
the coal situation and last night re
turned TO Chicago When they
alighted from the train here all were
communicative.
There isn't a word 10 be said just
now said Samuel insult chairman
of the state council and who also was
chairman of the joint conference
committee which reported findings on
Tuesday regarding the situation.
Refuses Any Comment
Yesterdays meeting with the gov
ernor was solely for the purpose OF
acquaintng the executive with the
council investigation of the coal sit
uation. Governor Lowden, at its con
clusion, declined to make any state
ment as to whether the question OF
measures to be undertaken TO reduce
coal prices was under discussion, but
from other sources 1t was learned he
was fully acquainted with the RENE
dies at hand which may be resorted
TO.

the secretary of the council, all
to come to Springfield to make
summarized report of their action
to Governor Lowden so that he
could be fully informed of the sit

Members at Conference.
Those present at the conference
were Mr. insult, John p. Hopkins, sec

The session resulted from the fail
