Probably there is but one place in the world where gold may be picked up from a sandy beach. : Yet on Cape Nome, on Norton Sound, Behring Sea, Alaska, men, women and- children are enriching themselves after precisely this fashion.

Now for a dozen miles or more along the beach there may be seena throng of independent diggers. Never before has such easy mining. been heard of: A. small, square bit of beach will yield from $10 to $15 an hour. The entire yield of the beach district is said‘ to be about $30,000 a day. Business of all kinds has responded to the beach boom. The headquarters for the gold territory is Anvil City, where fancy prices were immediately put upon all ordinary commodities. For meals the miners pay from $1.50 Ito $2.50 each; for a bed ina tent, $1.50; for beer, 50 cents a glass, and for a i[mutton chop, $1.25. “vuv-c- vâ€"v Existence through the winter will be rather difficult, as fuel is even scarcer than food.

WAR STRICTLY UP TO DATE Gold Beaten-5' Skin Suppunts SI“: for Envelopesâ€"ereleas Telegraph: Will be Employedâ€"Ilse of modern Equip- ment of Deep Interest. England is going into batth with a unique array of modern war equipâ€" ments. Machine guns, motor cars and bicycles are noc so novel, but wireless telegraphy is an up-to-the- minute accouterment the British will employ, while her balloon service has! long been recognized as an integral part of her military system. Like all Other first-class powers, England has for some years past had an army bal- ioon department, a. school of instruc- tion in the use of such “air ships,” and a staff of trained aeronauts to at- tend to their m-anâ€"ufacrure and work- ing. For obvious reasons, the utmos: secrecy is observed as to the composi- tion of the “envelope,” or outer oas- inStance, if the silk .were not thickly varnished, it let the air inâ€"with singularly disastrous results to the occupants of the car, If, on the oth- Ler hand. it were varnished, the casing became so brittle that it was con- Stantly cracking, and thus causing un- gwelcome escapes of gas. ing of the balloon, for upon the maâ€" terial employed therein largely de- de'pends the utility of an air ship of any description. In the days when silk “envelopes” were in use, the ad- THE AERONAUTIC PROBLEM. Consequently the problem with which the militaiy aeronauat was con- fronted was that of discovering a ma- terial which should combine in one lightness, strength and impervious- n‘ess to the atmosphere. For a long tame the task seemed to defy human Ingenuity. The art of “belligerent aeronautics,” however, is one that stands for any pronounced period. As a result, after repeated experiments, the balloonist’s efforts have now been crowned with success. The flabric at present adopted for the manufacture lOf the “envelopes” of war balloons at 'Aldershot consists chiefly of what is known as goldâ€"beaters' skin, which is delicately described by an English journal as the “lining of the internal portions of the anatomy of cattle.” ‘ This is soaked in a potash solution and treated with isin-glass and alum wa- ter. The various sections are then sewn together into an air-tight homo- geneous mass. The extreme lightness ‘of the material thus prepared may be estimated from the fact that its A- 3500 square feet of surfaoe, the ordi- i nary size of a war balloon‘ ‘enveIOpe, " éweighs but 170 pounds. Such a case is capable of holdmg 10,030 cubic feet of gas, and of raising a dead weight of 70 pounds. As a general rule, the car in which the aeronaut is carried is made of wicker, with a band of hickory wood to bind it. In size, the following are the meaésu r eme nts usually adapted : Height and width, 2 feet 3 inches; length, 3 feet 6 inches. It is attach- ed to a hoop by means of. the best It- alian hemp rOpe available. This 1300;) is connected with the cord network that incloses the whole of the balloon’s “envelOpe.” The “breaking strain” of this rigging is something over 500 pounds; nevertheless, it weighs but one pound to the hundred feet. OUTFIT {S ELABORATE. With so mun-ch paraphernalia about it the complete outfit of a balloon sec- 1 tion is necessarily rather elaborate. First of all, there is the balloon itself, iwtth its “envelope,” valve, net, car, hoop, grapnel, spare rope, aeronautiw cal instruments and ballasu Then; [there is the wagon on which it isl ‘packed, and to which is attached a; ' drum with a wire rope, for holding the? [balloon captive when necessary, and ai gtelep-hone apparatus for communi-i lcating with the occupants of the car.’ iFinally, there is a second series ofi :. wagons, containing the cylinders ofl compressed hydrogen for inflating the! “envelone.” . l As to the uses to which a balloon? man be put in warfare they are an} Emany and variedthat they: cannot be} ‘more than lightly touched upon here. Foremost among them, of course, is that of reconnoitering the enemy’s .position, photographing his camp andl lsending reports, chiefly by means ofl lpigeons, of such observations to head-! iquarters. Then, despite the fulmina-l ‘tions of the recent Peace Congress ‘againSL the proposal, it seems ex-; gtremely likely that. they will also be lused for dropping explosxves from tthe clouds onto the ground occupzed iby a hostile force. Indeed, special ish-ells for this purpose are a part of i the equipment of all war balloons. Ac- : cordingly, in the next great European Icampaign, when bOth sides are simil- ‘arly provided, and war balloon thus imeets war balloon, then, indeed, “will , come the tug of war.” Especially . thrilling would be a duel to the death, ' under these circumstances, between L two rival aeromotives. It would also be one in which the danger would be i equally shared by spectators as well as principals. .
