Use of Oil Instead of Coal Has Ren- 1

“The Passing of the Fiery Fur

title of a book telling of modern metli-1
ods of traveling by sea. with emphasis
on the bunkering of ships with fuel
Oil instead of coal, thus eliminating
the stoker who, day and night, shov
eled that coal into the ever-yawning
depths of tlaniH, Doubtless those trav
elers who used to feel sorry for the
stoker’s plight will join In the pleas
ures of the trip with greater equanimi
ty on the oil-burning boats. One of
the most interesting of recent sights
In the kaleidoscopic harbor of New
York was the bunkering with fuel oil
of the Cunard liner Aquitania directly
from an oil tanker. In about twenty
hours 45,000 bnrrels of oil was stored,
by means of an 8^-lnch flexible metal
hose, the services of hut three men
being required. Had all four connec
tions been used, the hunkering could
have been completed in six hours by
•even men. this including both proc
esses of discharging and receiving.
Thus the modern method means a
saving of time, lab..; and expense,
since the coul bunl dig of an ocean
liner usually requb - the services of
many men for seven I days. It is also

Furs All Her Fortune.
“Alaska produces a large variety of
beautiful and valuable furs upon
land.” says Andrew J. .Stone In the
Century. “It has 13 varieties of bears,
six species of fox—black, blue, cross,
red. silver and white—and ull com
mon land furs. The skins of its foxes
are or' the highest quality and arc
larger than those produced in any
other country. The Alaska moose is
the largest land animal found on the
western hemisphere. The meat Is as
choice sis the best of beef and the
skin makes excellent footwear and. is
much worn (luring the winter months.
The caribou, like the reindeer, lives
almost exclusively upon mosses, and
I inhabits nearly all parts of the coun-
I try except the southern coast country.
They are found In large herds and
supply man with millions of pounds
of meat.

MOSTLY OF INDIAN ORIGIN
Twenty-Five of the l orty-Eight States j
of the Country Have Practically '
Native Names.
Of our 48 states w find that 25 bear i
names of Indian or gin. while 12 are
English, six Spanish and three French, j
Two stntes may he aid to have Atner- j
lean names. The first Is Washington, :
named after the Father of our Coun
try, and the second Indiana, so called I
on account of the purchase and sub
sequent settlement by various Indian
tribes of large tracts of land north of
the Ohio river and within (he present
boundaries of the stale.
When we review Indian state names,
wc must remember *liat there was no
one Indian tongu.-. Instead, there
were several separu'e and distinct lan
guages, and each ol these was divided
Into many dialects. Hence the wide
variance in Indian names in different
sections.
Wisconsin, written by early Fre.jeh

Helium From Natural Gas.
Up to a little more than a year ago
helium was a laboratory product made
at a cost of from $1,500 to $2,000 per
cubic foot, but toward the close of the
war its production had been simpli
fied to tht> point that 8,000 cubic feet
per day was produced in Texas alone.
The commercial production of he
lium lias been stimulated by the need
of a substitute for hydrogen, which Is
so highly inflammable that lts value
for military purposes In dirigibles and
kite balloons is gravely Impaired. Al
though the substitution of helium for
this purpose entails a loss of 7 per
cent in lifting power, tiiis is more than
compensated for by the elimination of
ull risk of tire and explosion. Helium
suffers less loss by diffusion than hy
drogen and cannot he made to burn
or explode under any conditions.
William Hazlett Tells of Times When
He Wants to Be Left Alone With
His Thoughts.
Give me the dear blue sky over my
head, and the green turf beneath my
feet, a winding road before me, and a
three hours’ march to dinner—and then
,to thinking! It is hard if I cannot start
some game on these lone heaths. I
laugh, I run, I leap, 1 sing for joy.
From the point of yonder rolling cloud
1 plunge Into my past being, and revel
there, as the sunburnt Indian plunges
headlong into the wave that wafts him j
to his native village shore. Then long |
forgotten things, like “sunken wTuck
and sumless treasuries," burst upon my ;
eager sight. . . . Insteud of an awkward <
silence, broken by attempts at wit or j
dull commonplaces, mine Is that undls- j
turbed silence of the heart which alone ,
Is perfect eloquence. No one likes !
puns, alliterations, antithesis, argu
ment and analysis better than I do;
but I sometimes had rather be with
out them. “Leave, oh, leave me to
my repose!” I have just now other
business in hand which would seem
Idle to you, but is with me “very stuff
o' the conscience.” Is not this wild
rose sweet without a comment? Does
not this daisy leap to ray heart set
In Its coat of emerald? Yet if 1 were
to expla.ti to you the circumstance
that has so endeared It to me, you
vould only smile. Had I not better
then keep It to myself and let it serve
me to brood over, from here to yonder
craggy point, and from thence onward
to the far distant horizon? 1 should
be but bad company all that way, and
therefore, prefer being alone. 1 have
heard it said that you may. when the
moody Ht comes on, walk or ride on
by yourself and Indulge your reveries.
But this looks like a breach of man
ners. u neglect of others, and you are
thinking all the time that you ought
to rejoin your party. “Out upon such
half-faced fellowship.” say I. I like
to be either entirely to inyself or en
tirely at the disposal of others; to
talk or be silent, to walk or sit. to be
sociable or solitary.—Table Talk by
William Hazlett.

GOLD-STRIKE YARN
BY "MAN NAMED DON"
Three Skeletons Lay on Vein of
Schist Which Assayed
SI .000 to the Ton.
Guernsey. Wyn.—If the Htor.v told
by a man named Don. who has been
working three copper ore clnlms In
the hills nortli of here, proves to have
any foundation in fact, this section
promb *s to he rocked with a gold ex
citement which will duplicate that of
50 years ago, w;hen hundreds poured
In from the outside, led by the tale of
ancient Spanish diggings.
Don recently appeared in Guernsey
with specimens of ore that was later
found to run $1,000 to the ton. His
story was that while prospecting on
one of his claims lie ran across one of
a number of holes left by unsuccess
ful prospectors of years ago. In the
hope of finding a copper “stain” he
preceded to clear away the rubbish,
lie was surprised to find that lie had
uncovered a drift tunnel. Inside he
found the hones of three men and u
vein of schist 18 inches in thickness,
in which, he says, he secured his sam
ples of gold. His story is being inves
tigated.
Copper and iron ores were found In
plenty by the miners of early days,
but the field was abandoned because
too far from a railroad. Later the
Rockefeller interests opened up in
that section the Sunrise, one of the
greatest Iron mli>*>« in the world.
