He takes the position that as this
country is looked to to supply the

the greater part Of the man-power.
He says China, for instance, could spare
millions OF men and not feel it, where
as she could do very little to keep
the great war Industries In full swing
Russia and other allies are in the
same situation. he held. while japan
had kept her men at home and con-

FOX FARMING NEW INDUSTRY
Reports Show Work Now Important
Feature of Activities of Bureau Of
Fisheries in Alaska.

The taking Of foxes has become an
important feature of the work of Un-
Gle Sans bureau of fisheries in the
PribilOf islands, Alaska service. For
the season of 1867 the record shows
149 blue fox pelts and 36 white fox
pelts on st. Paul island, and Alt blue
fox pelts and 2 white fox pelts on st.
George island. This makes a total of
566 blue and SO white for the season,
compared with 420 and 20, respective
ly, for the 1856 season.
On st. George island the numbers
marked and released were POT males
and 206 females. The acting agent
in charge reports that there are many
foxes remaining on the island which
were not marked. The foxes on st.
George island are caught in large box
trap, which makes it possible to select
those to be killed and to release 9TH
ers which are to be spared for breed
ing purposes or for other reasons. On
st. Paul island the foxes cannot be
taken in hog traps, and for this reason
a selection Of those which are to be
killed is not possible.

SCORES new TRIUMPH
American Chemistry Has An
other Achievement to Credit.
Uncle Sans Experts Make chInawars
Industry Independent Of Foreign
Sources Of Material.

Under the stress OF economic con-
dltlons due TO the war, American chem
istry has added another triumph to It's
long list In the development of an
American chlnaware industry that
promises to be independent OF for
elgn sources OF materials and an i'm
dustry of considerable magnitude.
The announcement that this had
been accomplished was made by Van
II. Manning, director of the bureau of
mines, >under whose bureau the diff
cult problems In chemistry have been
successfully worked out in cO-opera-
ton with number of pOtteries.
"For years American manufacturers
of tile and white chinaware have
been dependent for their hlgh-grade
material on the Importation of foreign
kaOlln, chiefly in the form Of English
china clay" said Mr.. Manning, in tell
ing of the wonderful impetus given to
this Industry by the discoveries OF the
bureau of mines.
"At the same time there were known
to be available in Georgia and South
Carolina large quantities Of kaolln Of
high degree Of purity, except that 1t
contained certain impurities that made
1t useless except for the paper trade
and for some lower grades Of pottery.
The bureau of mines took up the ques-
ton of the separation of these impuri-
ties from the kaOlin and succeeded to
such an extent that it is now cOmpar-
able with the best English fine clay
for many pottery purposes. As a re-
suit of the laboratory experiments a
cooperative agreement was made with
a Georgia kaOlin company and plant
built in accordance with the facts dis
covered in the laboratory. This plant
succeeded in purifying many tons Of
kaOlin at cost less than fifty cents
a ton, producing a material which has
market value nearly twice that
which could be obtained for the kaOlin
for the purposes to which it was previ-
ously put.
This purified white china clay has
already been used extensively in pot
teries with much success. 1t has been
shown that in nitreOus chinaware,
this purified American kaolin can be
successfully substituted for all of the
ball clay heretofore used and for at
least 80 per cent of the English china
clay. Better still, in the tile industry
winter and stronger tile can be and
are being made from this treated
Georgia kaolin and American feldspar
by substituting them entirely for the
English china clay and Cornwall stone
heretofore used. America should, ac-
cordingly, be largely independent, and,
with further experiments, probably en-
tirely Independent of imports of for
eign material for the whiteware In
duStries."

Library Of Congress.

The library of congress now has a
total of 2,451, ,974 books on it's shelves,
or did have a few weeks ago. This
represents a gain Of 8S,101 volumes
within the year. In addition there are
1542OO maps and charts, 770,24S vol
umes and pieces Of music, and 1872, 2,9O5
prints, or nearly four million distinct
publications in all. Purchases of rare
and valuable Chinese, japanese and
Korean collections cover important re-
cent accessiOns to the library. Among
these are very early Chinese books
printed from blocks. There was also
obtained a good copy of the Oldest
Japanese printed work extant, dating
back to the beginning of the thirteenth
century, and a collection of the writ
ings of Kaibara, the Benjamin Frank

NEW WONDERS OF THE x-RAY
One Of lite Most Remarkable Uses Ia
10 Determine Age Of Human
Beings.

OF all the wonders that the X-ray Is
responsible for none is more remark
able than its ability TO tell age In hui
man beings.
Recently IN Cincinnati. a youth was
arrested for striking and seriously in
Juring n fellow workman. He stated
when he was arrested that he was
nineteen years OF age. Learning the
seriousness of tlle charge against him,
the defendant and his father asserted
that he was but seventeen years old,
and demanded that the boy be at once
turned over TO the juvenile authorities,
as the law of this state prevents Il
prisoner under eighteen years of age
being tried In criminal court.
Thoroughly convinced that the
youth was at least eighteen years old,
the juvenile court physician decided to
have X-ray photographs made OF the
eplphyseal bones of his hand elbow
and hip, and also photos OF the same
bones of seventeen-year-Old youth.
Comparison, IL was hoped, would then
settle the matter, as II is II known fact
IN medical circles that when a boy
reaches the age of eighteen years those
bones become hardened.
The photographs developed from the
X-ray pictures Of the bones Of the boys
showed that those of the seventeen
year-Old boy had not hardened, but
those of the defendant In the case had
done so. The physician Immediately
fixed the age of the boy ut eighteen
or more.

GREAT DEMAND
FOR CANADIAN LAND
Americans Are Buyers and Be-
coming SettIers-AnxlOus to
Get Cheap and PrOduc-
tive Land.

Reports are to hand that there VIII
be a large influx Of settlers from the
United States into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring. For o time
there has been a falling on on account
of the fear Of conscriptlon, which OF
course was not possible, and which the
Canadian Government gave every as
surance would not be put into opera
ton. In any case 1t would not affect
the American settler, and more than
that the man who was working on the
farm, helping to produce the grain
that goes to feed those who are at war,
would not be affected.
The excellent yields of the Western
Canada crops, and the high prices se-
cured is having its influence on those
looking for homes. The authenticated
reports that have been sent out from
time to time that this farmer and that
farmer had paid for their entire farm
holdings out Of one crOn, has reached
the ears Of the man looking for farm.
When he hears that G. II. Beatty OF
Nanton, Alberta, had $40 bushels OF
wheat from II acres or an average OF
561s bushels to the acre, he becomes
interested. When he learns that Sid
ney r. Phillips of Beddeford, Alberta,
threshed ten hundred and fifty-three
bushels of wheat, the average being
52h bushels per acre, his interest is
further aroused. Thos. Long of Leth-
bridge had 120 bushels Of oats to the
acre from a field of 25 acres, w.
Quinn of Milk River had 6,094 bushels
Of wheat from 100 acres, an average
of go bushels per acre, and Robert
Tackaberry of Nobleford makes afiida-
Wit that he had an average of seventy
six bushels of wheat per acre from
field of 1903 acres. Thos. Boulton of the
same place makes affidavit that from
fifty acres he had yield of fifty-three
bushels of wheat per acre. Newell j.
Mobiles affidavit of getting "a bushels
per acre from 1000 acres stands out
most strongly as evidence of what the
wheat grower can do. This affidavit Is
strengthened by a paragraph stating
that he had 100 bushels and 30 lbs. per
acre from 394.69 acres. Mrs. Nancy
Coe makes affidavit that on her farm
at Nobleford she threshed six thou
sand one hundred and ten bushels OF
wheat from one hundred and fifteen
acres, or fifty-three bushels and eight
lbs. per acre, and from flax field
(stubble field) she got 20 bushels and
SO pounds per acre.
1t cannot be said that these were
freak yields because so many had such
great success. When these reports are
read, the man looking for farm be-
comes convinced.
These are only few Of the reasons
that will cause large influx Of Amer
lean farmers into the Canadian West
during the coming Spring.
The farmers now resident in Mani
toba, Saskatchewan and Alberta are
purchasing additional lands. Prices
are low and Free homestead land can
be had in many districts and the home
steader is me.-Advertisement.
