UNCOVER RICHES IN RUSSIA
tarded by Autocracy, Now Likely
to Be Rapid.

As in everything else, the old re-
CINE of Russia had it's strnngle hold
on the gold industry. Siberia and the
Ural could be considered the classical
parts of the world where deposits Of
precious minerals abound and under
free and progressive government
they could easily lead all the other
parts of the world, says the Russian
American Journal of Commerce. The
Russian press is full of news items
chronicling new. discoveries Of gold
and platinum deposits, as well as
other rare metals. %s5 s..
So from Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia,
came the news that in the northern
and southern Enisey mountain dis
tricts the gold seekers have lately
washed gold to the amount of about
$3.50 pounds. From the Lena, we'll
known as a gold-bearing river, comes
the word that new rich gold and platf-
mum deposits were discovered on her
p tributaries, Willy and also Marlkha. Z 90: 5
With the laying of the tracks, of the
Amur railroad there is almost a con-
tinuous procession of discoveries of
new deposits of precious metals, espe-
cially on the Rivers Burea and Khara j;
all the deposits are not far from the
new laid tracks and offer all the OPP
portunities for successful develop
ment of the newly discovered deposits.

When Nobel Cut His Elmer.

The great war might be traced back
to- Nobel's cut finger, e. e. Slosson
writes in the New York Independent.
Alfred Nobel was a Swedish chemist
and a pacifist. One day while work
Ing in the. laboratory he cut his finger,
as chemists are apt to do, and again
as chemists are apt to do, he dissolved
some guncotton in ether alcohol and
swabbed it on. the wound. At this
point, however, his conduct DIVORCES
from the ordinary, for instead of stand
ing idle, impatiently waving his hand
in the air to dry the film as most peo-
pie. including chemists, are apt to do,
he gut his mind on it and it occurred
to him that this sticky stun, slowly
hardening to an elastic mass, might
be just the thing he was hunting as
an absorbent and solidifier Of nitro
glycerin. So instead of throwing away
the extra collodion that he had made
he mixed it with nitroglycerin and
found that it set to jelly The blast,
ing gelatin thus discovered proved to
be so insensitive to shock that it could
be safely transported or fired from a
cannon. This was the first Of the
high explosives that have been the
chief factor in the great war. ...

Dress in London.

Something might be said of the
changes that. three years Of war have
brought about in our clothes. Evening
dress is not abolished, but it is becom-
ing much less. customary in theaters

up to London who used to bring eve

so. Stiff white collurs are disappear

classes. The democratic process had

mons. One remembers the shock that

Its first appearance there, but it has
advanced immensely since the war be-
gan. Frock coats are in small and

BARBED WIRE "A WAR FACTOR
One of Peculiar Developments Is Use
of Asnerican Product to Halt
Armies Progress.

The part that baTbed wire has
played IN the war lis reflected to some
extent by the foreign commerce re-
ports, says the St. Louis .Globe-Demo-
crat. This is peculiarly an American
product, the :Blidden invention having
been first utilized on a large scale by
John W., Gates lat st. Louis. The de-
scriptions from the front show the eff
fective use made of this simple inven-
ton, which the late Senator Ingalls,
said was suggested by the manner in
which the milk COWS avoided bramble
bushes. 1t was woven and twisted
Into barrier that seemed inrpregna-
bic until the; British developed the use
Of artillery in such amazing fashion.
The study of Qualifications has been
followed from the beginning of human
history, and it Is a singular fact that
simple fencing device, designed for an
Untimbered country, should surpass
every other obstacle to the progress of

FAMILY REFUSED TO MOVE
Tenant contended Baby Made No More
Noise Than the Owners Bark
ing Dog. .->..tz

There is a baby in an East End fam.
lily, and the owner of the house in
which the family lives is a woman
who owns a dog. The baby cries and
the dog barks and bowls, says thesIn-
dianapolis News.
The family with the baby went on a
vacation trip recently, and during their
absence the landlady decided she pre-
ferred different tenant-one with
out crying baby. So she notified the
family to move out.
When the father asked for an ex-
PLANTATION she told him she was tired
of being annoyed by the baby.
That "riled" the proud papa.
"You don't like a baby?" he re-
torted. "You don't like the baby be-
cause it cries? And you live with that
dog that barkg and bowls all day long?
A crying baby is no more a nuisance
than barking, bowling dog" j.. =
He informed the landlady that he
would move out with the baby when
she got rid of the dog, but not before.
There was no change in the situation
at last reports.

Chance the Farmers Missed.

A great opportunity for amassing
wealth has slipped out of the hands of
every farmer and gardener this year,
simply because they did not know
how to grasp the opportunity, and
there was nobody to tell them about it.
The: disappointment is temporary the
opportunity will return, says the Bos-
ton Transcript.
Golden seal root, for instance, Is
wanted by druggists, and is worth So
a pound, and it might have been grown
in quantities in the United States.
The farmer who had seen the posi-
bilities in it's culture could have reaped
a rich harvest. And many American
families will remember the time when
the arnica flower was a common flow
er, which the old folks saved and used
for home remedy for sprains, but the
commercial prospect in it's culture has
not been realized and it has been al
lowed to disappear until now it is
worth SIS pound. Druggists will be
glad to pay that much money for it.

Unnamed Boats Fooled.

The Germans recently attempted an
attack on British warships by means
of small boats loaded with high ex-
plosives, unnamed and controlled by
wireless. The idea was originally an
American one, and was developed in
the Hammond wireless controlled tor
pedo. But the drawback in all these
radio-controlled devices is that the
enemy can send out interfering"
waves and throw the boat off its course.

Lighting Methods Improved.

The great development of lighting
within the last ten years is made ap-
preciable only when the results are
shown in figures. IT is well-knovn
the Introduction of the metal filamern
lamps has reduced the consump-
ton Of current for given amount Of
light to One-half or one-third of what
1t was before, but there has been also
a great Improvement in the durability
Of the new lamp. A French authority,
A. Boutaric, has investigated the rec
ords Of 1884 lamps in 26 establish
mentg. In 1908, only half of the metal
flament lamps withstood as much as
200 hours of usage, but in 1914 not less
than '96 per cent endured for that
length Of time, and the percentage of
those having a life of 1000 hours had
risen from 31.5 to so. Besides their
carbon lamps, the French were MAX
ing 30,00O,000 metal flament lamps
yearly as the war began, the prospect
being large increase on the return
Of peace.
