These French fishermen laid the founda tion of all the trouble which even now makes them enemies of the native fish ermen. Now the natives of tho island refuse to sell bait to the Frenchmen, nnd have appealed to the British Gov ernment to keep their rivals out of the fishing grounds.

The center of whnlo traffic has mado a jump across tho continent and from tho Atlantic into the Pacific Ocean. Alaska holds her own in the fisheries exhibit. Tho natives arc the greatest fishermen under tho protection of the Stars and Stripes. They still uso bono hooks und all tho primitive instru ments for fishing. Their fishing spears aro converted into implements of offense and defense in war time. The simile touching on plowshares and pruning hooks do not hold good in Alaska. There are hooks and spears in the exhibit which wero made by tho Quilleuto Indiam when they first ob tained iron by trade. Tho natives made use of the copper which they found in their mines, and their work manship is surprisingly good. Au gahgah is a native in Alaska, and his native heath is near l'oint Barrow. He has a mania for collecting fish hooks, and was persuaded by some pa triotic American to present his collec tion to tho Government. The hooks are adapted to halibut fishing. The lines aro strong, 'made ot kelp, called Nereocystia lutkeana for easy reference by scientifto men. The hooks are made of two shank of wood, lashed together at the ends. Iron barbs are fastened to the end of one shank and the other shank is rudely carved in the likeness of a fish. Boino of the hooks are made of shark's teeth, some of splinters and others of hem lock knots. The materials used are of the simplest kind. The iron barbs, or tho sharp teeth, are lashed on with strips of white cherry. One kind of line is made of sprno root and is very durable. The slinging gear and tho snood of the more reoeut halibut fish ing instruments are made of tarred ootton. with slot swivels, hemp gang ings and galvanized iron hooks. By the aborigines even walrus whiskers are utilized in the manufacture of ganging. The sinkers were made of ivory and the lines of strips of whale bone.

Sinco tho invention of tho Eiffel Tower nnd Chicago's grout Ferris Wheel, every man manufacturing u World's Fair deems it necessary to en dow it with some sky-piercing struct ure transcending and eclipsing any previous effort. The wonder herewith depicted is tho result of the profound study of Belgian engineers, and is des tined to adorn the Antwerp Exhibition. Tobiensky, tho engineer, has im agined a gigantic captive balloon, com posed of two hemispheres and three cylindrical compartments of triple China silk. Its volume will be 71,07!) cubic metres and its dimensions Dill 1 square metres. Tho weight, including the castle iu tho air and its accessories, with that of 150 persons, will ho3o,(2l) kilogrammes, or almut sixteen tons. Tho balloon will bo anchored by four great vertical cables. Two balloon elevators, capable of carrying ten to fifteen persons, con nect the castle with the ground. This elevntod platform and edifice is to bo built of steel and bamboo tubing, cov ered with China silk and sheet iron. According to tho strength of the wind, it can rise to a height of from GOO to 1500 feet. The platform is ninety feet long, with a surface of 200 squaro feet. AIH CASTLS FOB THE ANTWERP KXHIBmO.V.

It must be remembered thatthn earth's crust is full of water, which percolates every where through the cracks, making solutions of elements obtained from them.

Sometimes the solutions in question nre hot, tho wnter huviiig gone so far down its to be set a-boiling by the internal heat of the globe.
