LINE IS
TO THE INTERIOR
•_M .. -
Fifty Breaks Between Wortman’s and
Teikhell, Because of the Heavy
•' l • -t 1 •’ " •< '
Snowfall.
The telegraph line between Wort
man’s and Teikh'ell is down in fifty
different places, according to word
received today by Lieut. Dougherty,
from Corporal Simmons. The line
men and operators from Wortman’s
and Beaver Dam met yesterday at the
Drop and they reported forty breaks
between the summit of Thompson
Pass and Ptarmigan Drop. Corporal
Simmons and his partner were twen
ty-eight hours making from the Re
lief cabin, near the summit, to the
Drop because of the heavy fall of
new soft snow. The two operators
were as long in teaching the Drop
but were not forced to remain out
all night as was Simmons and his
fellow worker.
The work of repairing the line will
commence Immediately and it is hop
ed to have communication establish
ed with Fairbanks in another day.
An effort will be made by the Navy
Wireless stations to fill in the bro
ken gap by sending the messages
from Valdez to Cape Whiteshed
Wirless station thence to St. Paul
station, thence to Nome, down the
Yukon to Nulato station where the ,
government line will again be used
to Fairbanks.
Lieut. Dougherty will make every
effort to have the line repaired.
The goods must go at a sacrifice at
Adler’s.
The Wednesday dance as usual at
Moose hall tomorrow night.

LAZY MAN’S PARADISE. “
If You Don’t Like Work Qo to the la*
lands Around Madagascar.
»'If you are just awfully tired of
working for your living and have
about decided that life is altogether
too strenuous for comfort in your
bustling burgh then go to the is
lands around Madagascar! For
there you would only have to work
about twenty-five days a year and
could support yourself and family
in all possible comfort.
People do not need to work so
hard if they are only willing to try
something new, says an English
historian. There are other places
where the necessities of life can be
had for practically nothing, and
many of the luxuries, too, for little
effort. Now there arc the islands
around Madagascar. They number
some 16,000 and only 600 of them
are inhabited. Nature is wonder
fully lavish. A man can own a
whole island himself or live on one
that is already peopled. Land ie
abundant, and like the air and wa
ter, it has no price.
And the best things to cat are
yours—all kinds of the finest fruits
—bananas, melons, oranges, figs,
pineapples and berries—and you
don’t have to go without such deli
cacies as figs and citron. There is
plenty of tobacco to be had and all
the coffee that you could possibly
drink. Then there is domestic
poultry in great numbers. Fat tail
ed sheep and goats that you could
cook up into all sorts of luscious
dishes.
You wouldn’t have to be afraid
of your life all the time for fear
that you were going to bo run over
the next moment, either, for there
isn’t a single automobile in any of
the islands.—Exchange.
Rock Candy.
“Originally what is now known
as rock candy,” explained a con
fectioner to a reporter, “was called
in the trade Gibraltar rock. Origi
nally, also, it was the purest kind
of candy, for it was crystallized su
gar pure and simple. Ordinarily it
is purer now than many other can
dies. Hawthorne in ‘The House of
the Seven Gables,’ describing a
small store, says, ‘For instance,
there was a glass pickle jar filled
with fragments of Gibraltar rock—
not, indeed, splinters of the veri
table fortress, but bits of delectable
candy.’ Other writers of even
earlier date than that speak of
Gibraltar rock. It appear^, how
ever, that the Gibraltar was finally
dropped, and it became known as
rock candy. 1 have a price list is
sued in 1848 to the candy trade in
which Gibraltar rock is the name
given, though after that it is quoted
as rock candy.”
Brigands at a Ball.
There was a most startling scene
at a ball given not long ago at the
residence of Baron Remondini, at
San Vito, Italy. Dancing had just
commenced when half a dozen arm
ed men marched into the ballroom.
They posed as detectives come to
ar.rest a famous brigand, Alberto
Summi, who. they asserted, was
among the guests. The wanted man,
in the guise of a noble, was speedily
located and surrounded. But just
as they were pretending to hand
cuff him the self styled detectives
suddenly drew their revolvers and
leveled them at the astonished
dancers. In double quick time the
latter handed over their jewelry
and other valuables, the booty thus
secured being worth upward of
$d,000. They were, of course, brig
ands of the band whose chief they
had come to arrest.
To Aim Straight Is Human.
Anthropologists have remarked
that taking aim is a human charac
teristic that even the anthropoid
apes cannot be said to share. Apes
and monkeys frequently throw nuts
and sticks, sometimes with u 'pleas
ant consequences to others, but
they show nttle or no ability to take
accurate aim. The baboon is said to
excel somewhat in this respect, but
still it would never pass for a marks
man. Accuracy of eye and the
judgment of direction and distance
that are involved in real aiming
have been developed only by man
and arc among tbe tokens of his in
tellectual superiority. — St. Louis

i ;i Sighing and Yawning.
' Sighing is a sudden prolonged in
spiration of sir following an un
usually long pause after the.Iast ex
piration. ft is not necessarily due
to mental depression or sentiment,
but oftener accompanies indigestion
and -the pressure of gases in the
stomach-.1 It is-usually involuntary.
A yawn isi an involuntary stretch
ing of'the muscles of the throat and
back of the tongue. While usually
involuntary, the mere pretense at
fawning will cause imitative move
ments of a similar kind by observ
ers In fact, yawning ie peculiarly
imitative, though none can explain
nby.—Jfew York World,
