YUKON MAKES
A GOOD TRIP
Lands Passengers at Yakataga
Beach—Sea Like Mill Pond—
Stormy Trip South.
Tin* S. S. Yukon, of Hit* Alaska
Coast company, arrived in Valdez
last night shortly after 9 o’clock,
bringing Id passengers for this
port, and 195 Ions of freight for
Valdez, I i5 tons for Fort l.is
cum and 150 Ions of coal for
the Cliff mine.
Forty | assengers,' mostly la
borers, came as far north at Ju
neau I * * work in the mines near
llie capital city. Fifteen carpen-j
ters and 50,non feet of luinher :
were unloaded at Yakataga, the'!
men are to construct buildings for
the fishermen, who are soon to I
arrive from I tie south when I lie]
fishing season opens,
"Thu trip north was one of the
linesl we have ever experienced
at this time id1 the year,” says
Purser Slrout, “hut the south
hound triii we experienced the
worst storm that 1 have ever
seen. The seas were mountain
high, but the Yukon rode out the
storm like a duck, and is, in my
judgment, the best sea boat on the
coast. We were hove to for 30
hours and the Mariposa was also
in the storm and compelled to
lay to. The story was told in Se
attle that we had our upper
works damaged, but such is not
the case. The Yukon suffered no
damage. It was thought best to
jplace here in dry dock to see if
any damage had been done in the
storm, but nothing was found
wrong. New steel braces were,
however installed in the upper
works to make the cabins and up
per works more solid.”
Fifty tons of freight was land
ed at K^talla and six passen
gers. The Yukon will go west as
far as Kodiak and is due here on
the return trip next Thursday or
Friday.
Captain Jensen, in command of
the Yukon, was taken ill on the
trip north but remained in com
mand of the vessel. He received
medical attendance while the ship
was in port.

When Black Shows White.
In tile annual report of the
Smithsonian Institution at Wash
ington. It. C.. is an interesting ar
ticle on invisible light by Prof.
K. \Y. \Y ood of Johns Hopkins
I’niversity. He cites many sur
prising experiments performed by
him in studying the effect of in
visible light rays in photography.
A teature ol photographs tak
en liy the ultra-violet light is that
white appears black and black
white. In presenting Ibis Prof.
Wood illustrates his article with
six reproductions of photographs
taken by visible and ultra-violet
light, which present oddly revers
ed lights and shadows. Some of
the photographs were taken with
quart./, and silvered quartz lenses,
which reproduce light rays other
wise invisible to the eye. By these
experiments and their results it
is hoped eventually to show by
photography many new features
of the celestial bodies and prob
ably also the materials of their
composition.
As illustrating the practical
uses of ultra-violet, Dr. Jules
Cormount has contributed a pa
per on the sterilization of drink
ing water by the light rays emit
ted from a quartz mercury vapor
lamp. The application of this sys
tem for practical purposes is
readily seen when it is understood
that the only requisite is clear
water and an available electric
current. Although it may seem
strange, the e'hemical properly of
the water is not altered, neither
is it charged electrically, nor
warmed, nor its taste or odor af
fected by this method. It is sim
ply rendered sterile and free from
bacteria.
This is the kind of weather
that the tenants of “The Cliff"
wear a broad smile and spend
their time in their rooms with
comfort.
