BIG SHIPMENT OF STICK
Believed lo be the largest
shipment of the kind ever sent
North from Seattle in one ship,
OdO head of livestock—cattle,
sheep and hogs for Fairbanks
—will leave tonight for Alas
ka on the Alaska Steamship
Company’s freighter Latouclie,
Capt. Jermiah Flynn. A search
of the records today by Joseph
Harris of the company failed to
disclose any previous shipment
of livestock of more than 000
head from this port to Alaska.
For Weachter Brothers, of
Fairbanks, the Cordova will
have 140 head of cattle, 200
of sheep and 100 of hogs, to
be sent into the interior on
the Copper River & Northwest
ern Railroad. They will be
driven from Ghitna, the term
inus of the road ,to Fairbanks.
For the Pacific Cold Storage
Company, the ship will have
120 sheep to be unloaded at
Skagway for shipment down
the Yukon river to the Tanana.
The rest of the livestock ship
ment consists of seventy head
of cattle for F. C. Sharkey of
Fairbanks, which will be sent
no the Copper River & North
western to Ghitina and from
there driven to the Tanana
metropolis. —Seattle Times

TWO MEN INJURED
AND IN HOSPITAL
R. Gorich, an employee of the
Alaska Gastineau company at
Salmon Creek, at work upon
Hie upper dam construction,
was injured last night by hav
ing his foot and limb severely
lacerated through being crush
ed by the skip on the top of
the dam where he was work
in. Another employee of the ,
same company, James Scott
by name, was unfortunate last
night in having one of his fin
gers severely crushed by fly
ing rock' while at work on the
rock crushing chute at Sheep
Greek. The accident occurred
about 0:30 last evening and
the disabled man walked to
the city to St. .Anns, where the
injured member was dressed |
by Dr. Sloan.—Juneau Dis

The purpose of Senator
Jones to amend the sundry j
civil bill to provide for an Alas
kan building and an exhibit ,
at the San Francisco exposi- !
lion will meet with the approv
al of every friend of the north
land, and elsewhere, says the
Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Doubtless Senator Jones is ;
proceeding in the only way by
which an appropriation of
$200,000 can be secured. It is
unlikely that congress, with its
calender' crowded with meas
ures which must be left wait
mg at adjournment time, could
be induced to pass a special
bill. The administration can j
provide no better object lesson
for the country than to install
at San Francisco an exhibit of
Alaskan products which will
■how convincingly that the ex
penditure of $35,000,000 for a
railroad is amply justified.
The opposition to the Alaskan
railroad bill came largely from
congressmen unfamiliar with
the magnificient resources of
the north. Even yet there are
many millions of people in
this country who have but a
vague idea of the natural wealth
of Alaska. Probably among
the thousands of visitors at
the exposition there will be
many who are uninformed
concerning the reaf north.

SENSITIVE SEISMOGRAPHS.'
They Serve Other Purposes Thsn Re
cording Earthquakes.
Contrary to popular belief, earth
quakes e.rs by no means rare occur
rences. As a waiter of fact, practically
all places on tbe surface of tbe earth
experience some kind of tremor or
shake at lenst once an hour, and lesser
tremblings are eVen ‘rtiore frequent
This fact bus been established since
the opeuing throughout the world of
stations where seismographs record the
slightest movement of this earth of
ours.
The seismogrnphs can be made to
serve several other useful purposes
besides tbe recording of earthquakes.
Some of them are so delicate that a
railroad train running a mile away will
affect them.
Seismograph records have frequently
been produced In court to show that tbe
operation of heavy machinery produced
sufficient vibration in near by buildings
to make tbe owners of tbe factory lia
ble for damages.
Probably the most annual purpose
to which tbe seisinograpb has ever
been put is that of determiuliig the
amount of vibration in n locomotive as
a result of unbalanced driving wheels.
Engineers have devised some ingen
ious methods of cutting down this vi
bration, which means a greatly de
creased consumption of coal.—New
York American.
TALKING FROM THE CHEST.
Not Necessary to Put a Telephone
Transmitter to the Mouth.
In case one docs not care to stoop
to a telephone while talking, or does
not care to put the transmitter to the
mouth, he can make himself heard by
very simple menus. Simply place the
abdomen or the chest against the
mouthpiece of the transmitter nud talk
into the open air, and the sound will
get to tlie party on the other end. Tbe
whole chest wall and the wall of the
abdomen vibrate iu unison when the
mouth is speaking, as they are n great
sounding hoard, and they will transmit
the proper sound waves to the dia
phragm. This is easy to try and as
tonishing in result.
Another peculiar thing noticed in
telephones at times is phantom talk
heard in a receiver when one is wait
ing for central to give connection. Odd
scraps of conversations may be heard
In this manner. They are probably
due to conversations going on over
wires lying in close proximity to tbe'
one that you are usiug—such conver
sations causing small oscillating cur
rents which, by tbe process of induc
tion, cause small oscillating currents
to take place iu your line of like char
acter.—New York World.
Few Beds In Bagdad.
About 60 per oeut of Bagdad’s pop
ulation possess no beds. These poor
people rest on blankets spread on the
floors of their houses in the winter
and on the roofs in the summer. Owing
to the escessive heat of these regions
sleep is made impossible elsewhere
than on the roof or in the open gar
dens. It is an interesting sight to see
how the women at sunset emerge from
their houses to prepare the evening
meal on the roof and spread the bed
ding for the night. Inasmuch as the
climate is very dry, there is little to
fear from exposure to the night air
While a considerable number of the
roofs are surrounded by ' latticework
to insure a certain amount of privacy,
by far the larger number are quite ex
posed to the gaze of curious and in
quisitive neighbors. , .
Scotland’s Patron Saint.
Why was St. Andrew chosen as the
patron saint of Scotland? This ques
tion lias been asked many times, but
the archdeacon of whom Dean Hole
tells may be considered to have discov
ered the most satisfactory solution of
the problem. "Gentlemen,” snid he (he j
was speaking at a St. ■■■ Andrew’s day •
banquet “at tile time), “1 have given ;
this difficult subject my thoughtful ;
consideration, and 1 have come to the ;
conclusion that St. Andrew was chosen I
to be the patron saint of Scotland be- !
cause he discovered the lad who had
the loaves and Ashes.”—Dundee Ad
vertiser.
