Tho Russian revolution wllf probably result In lengthening the list of the .world's Hugs by several additions. Fin land, which, filneo March, hits ceased to bo u grand duchy nml lias declared per Independence nnd Htntun ns a re public, has now decided on her national colors. She will have threo different standards : tho national Hag, the flag pf tho merchant service, and that of .tho pilot nnd customs services. Tho national colors aro thoso which were hcclulmcd at tho tlmo of the rovolu Mon, the yqllow Hon of Finland sur rounded by nine whlto roses on n red ground.

Tho pilot and customs services flag will bo the sumo, except that It will carry tho yellow of Finland Instead of tho whlto rones, Fought With Owl. An employee of tho Helena Land nnd Lumber company nenr Perkins, a short distance north of Kscunnlm, Mich., had a desperato encounter with a huge owl whllo walking through tho woods Into nt night. Ills first warning of ' tho nttnek was when he was struck on tho head and his fur cap pulled off. Tho grcnt claws of tho bird next wero fastened to his skull and his face, After a desperato fight In tho dark tho man succeeded In securing a good bold on tho owl and killed It by dash ing Its head against a tree. Tho owl Is on exhibition nt tho camp nnd Is said to bo tho largest ever killed in that vicinity. $500,000 for Muskrat Skins. Tho annual January fur auction closed, nt St. Louis with sales totaling nproxlmatply $3,850,000. A lot of 710,000 muskrata brought ?500,000. 'Many of tho skins brought ?1.60 each, an average prlco for good pelta being 75 cents. A few years ago rauskrat skins sold on tho market at low as ilvo centa onch. A collection of beaver brought 25 per skin nnd tho email lot of martin from Alaska set n record price of $57 each. 1 Extraordinarily high prices paid this ryear were said to bo duo to the high' jquaUty of tho furs.

I Tho fuel administration "doe not make any concealment of th prospect that thoro will be coal shortage dur ing the pront cocl year," says a statement in which th public again was urged to order Its coal for next winter during tho summor. ' ".Tho requirements for the year for .bituminous coal a ascertained by the ! administration exports." says the statement, "indicates that the produc tion will fall considerably short of the neeossary amount. The national ad ministration i3 devoting its efforts to ward removing, so far as possible, the deliveries of coal for domestic pur poses and essential war puroses from .tho freight congestions on tho rail roads, that are sure to como with tho .winter season." !:o: :- ARE YOU SURE.

In part the secretary says: "Whllo thoso increased operating costs will bo subject to readjustments and may be somewhat diminished yot on tho other hand becauso of tho ab normal methods by which business must bo conducted to servo the needs of tho war they may bo substantially increased. It seems clear that tho rail roads should bo made self-sustnlulmr nnd that sufficient revenues should be 'provided to prevont them from becom ing a buirden on the federal treasury. Tho Immediate practical necessity Is that, without delay, Increases In rates should bo made to provide for theso in-' creased costs of operation.
