MOCCASINS FOR SOLDIERS.
Inquiries Made by Representatives of
Powers at War for “Bangor’s
Golden Slippers.”
Inquiries have been rereived in
Bangor, Me., from persons sup
posed to represent either the Bus
Sian or the Japanese government
concerning prices for moccasins
in large quantities and the earli
est date of delivery at Atlantic or
Pacific ports. It is supposed that
the moccasins are wanted for sol
diers campaigning in Manchuria.
For that purpose they would be
eminently suitable, says the New
York Sun.
The moccasin is the favorite
footwear of the lumbermen of
Maine, and was first made in Ban
gor in 1851. At first only one or
two styles were made, but now
moccasins are manufactured in
great variety, ranging from slip
pers for women* and children—*
soft as kid and embroidered with
beads—to the stout boots and lar
rigans of the Penobscot lumber
men.
Mnch of the sewing is still done
by hand, being let out by the piece
to French Canadian families in
the neighborhood of Bangor. All
moccasihs are made of a specially
prepared leather, rendered a gold
en yellow by a peculiar process of
tanning.
The common moccasin is not
proof against water, but it has
room for several pairs of stock
ings, and that is a strong point in
its favor. For keeping the feet
warm and dry in cold weather the
moccasin has no equal.
The greater part of the mocea
sin leather still comes from the
nlace of its oriein. Pawtucket.
R I., although a considerable
quantity is tanned in Bangor.
Some years ago Bangor men es
ta Wished factories at Red Wing,
Minn., and Racine, Wis.
The dainty bath slippers, which
aie not really moccasins, bat are
made from soft elk skin, are in
gi eat demand at home and abroad,
and are especially favored by the
ladies of Japan, to which country
Bangor sends large quantities. It
now seems likely that “Bangor’s
golden slippers,” as moccasinaare
called, may be worn by the con
tending armies in Manchuria.
JAPAN’S FIRST IRONCLAD.
H*r Crew Made a Brave Start, Bu1
Couldn’t Stop. Her Till Fires
Went Out.
That the role of Japan as a mar
itime power is a new one is
brought strongly to our notice by
recalling the quite well authen
ticated story of the first adven
ture of the first Japanese iron
clad, says Country Life.
She was built in England.
While she was building her crew
were also in England practicing,
in other ironclads how to drive
her. When she was finished the
Japanese seamen took possession
of her, bravely maintaining that
they were fully equal to the task
of starting her.
' And that, to be sure, they were,
for she steamed out finely. The

back to port again. Then, when
they wanted to slow her down and
stop her, they were unable to do
so.
They had to put her out to sea
again and go on steaming her
about till her fires went out, her
engines stopped for want of
steam, and she coaid be towed in,
From this to having the best
mentally-equipped crews, perhaps,
of any nation seems a long step,
but it h« been a very rapid one.
Insect Swims.
Naturalists have decided that
many insects have senses which
human beings lack. That of loca
tion, shown by the wasp, for in
stance, is remarkable. One spe
cies builds its nest in a sandbank
that is only a part of several acres
of such soil, and when it leaves in
search of food it covers the nest so
carefully that no ordinary eye
could discover its location. That
is to say it is just like all the sur
rounding location, and yet the
wasp flies back to it without hes
itation and finds it without mak
ing a mistake. There is another
wasp ttat unerringly locates the
eggs of the mason bee under a
thick layer of sun-baked clay, and
deposits her eggs in the same
cells that her young may have
food when they are hatched.
