Hydraulic CARTRIDGES.

1t Is often difficult and sometimes
dangerous to use ordinary explosives
for mining and excavating In confined
spaces, fact that has led to the de-
velOpment Of the hydraulic mining
cartridge.
The cartridge consists of q steel
cylinder containing numerous small
pistons that move ut right angles to
the axis Of the cylinder and expand
when water is injected into them with
q hand pump. After drilling a deep
enough hole the workmen insert the
cylinder and then set to work at the
hand pump.
The tiny pistons expand until their
free extremities bear against the mass
Of rock with constantly increasing
force and the rock is gradually frac-
tured under tremendous pressure. The
operation. 1t 10 said, IL not only cheap
er than the ordinary blast but disin.
tegrates a larger area Of rock.

he says, "block the words In" SO that

the words are written clearly and with

check-raiser has little opportunity for

Another safeguard Mr.. Pengelly sug-
gests is the writing Of the amount Of
the check, either in figures or words, in
red ink, above or within the signature
at the bottom. In his experience he
has found this to be a successful safe

one familiar with the slang Of the
Quarter latin would probably feel
are many other ingredients-some
patois, some picked up In Morocco, and
some are survivals Of the soldier slang
Of the First empire. Such q word is
"cleber," which apparently means to
eat after one has been on the point OF
starving. An explanation given of the
origin of the word is that It is a cor
ruption Of "kleba," the Russian for
bread. It is said that the French SOL

Reports from Candle today say Messrs. Christ Christianson and Perstrom, who recently left Candle in a small power boat bound for Nome. returned to the point of departure last night after undergoing varied vicis- situdes in trying to make their way along the coast. The men report that they could get no farther than Cape Espenberg on account of the ice and decided to return to Candle and await more favorable conditions. Herbert and Oberg. who departed for Nome at
 the same time in a dory fitted with a motor and propellor, were reported as somewhere in the ice by the returning travellers. Oberg and his companion are reported in no danger and are provided for lengthy trip. The statement of the men indicates that the ice conditions along the Arctic coast are such that there is small pros- pect of the larger boats getting to Candle at the present time.

 Against the power of military con. quest, against the emptiness of living in mere. body contentment, against the result of becoming part of a state that knows neither truth nor honor, the world has so revolted that even people long dominated and suppressed byforce selves. Centuries of subjugation have not destroyed the spirit of aspiration of the many distinct peoples of eastern Europe, nor have they accepted the sordid ideas of their own political and military masters. They have sur vived the slow prosecution of peace as well as the agonies of war and now de- mand recognition for their just claims of autonomy and to self government Representatives of these races are with you today voicing their loyalty to UT ideals and offering their services in the common cause.
