some time In infammatory talk started for

Ing there about 3 o'clock. None of the riot
ers would heed the deputies entreaties. and
at once made a rush for them. In self
defense the deputies opened fire and killed
eight and wounded twepty-one of the Hun
garian strikers. At o'clock another
riot was precipitated, in which three
more Huns were killed and about
twenty five wounded, some of whom
will, IL is thought. die. The Sheriff and two
deputies arrived home on the o'clock train,
having two of the rioters I'm custody, one OF
whom was wounded In the leg. Both were

themselves.
Neither Gideon nor the enragcd beasts
below him needed the approaching
hunters, who, 80 yards away. opened
fire with their "Winchesters7 into the
mass OF contending animals. At the
crack, crack, crack OF the two repeating
rifles the yelps OF pain grew louder, and
more than one wolf leapcd into tho mir,
and fell back in his death struggle
while the loup- cervier took refuge in a
tree.
The fire crcpt out on the limbs, com
polling Gideon to creep further toward
the end Of the branch. which he expected
every instant To break under his weight.
AS he watched the fight with helpless
fascination the rapid discharge of rifles
brought to his notice the deadly volleys
among his enemies. The next moment
the limb broke short oil near the trunk
and with crash he dropped into the
deep snow, which nearly buried him
from sight.
Fifty yards away the bear lay dying,
shot through the DO iy; two or three
wolves lay dead about him and as many
disabled ones were trying to crawl away.
The loup-cervier tunbled from tree
with ball through his head. Thc
wounded animals were quickly dis.
patched and the hunters then pulled the
schoolmaster out-of the snow.
Gideon helped his rescuers skin the
dead animals and pack the fur on their
sled. This exercise and the walk home
in their company warmed and limbered
him, aud a cup of hot pepper tea by a
blazing fire completed his recovery from
the i'll effects of his nights adventure.

Alaska is Rich in Fish.


The smclt of Alaska arc large and very
plentiful. They resemble our Eastern
smelt in appearance. The range of the
species is from the Bristol Bay region TO
Point Barrow, aud they are most abun-
dant from the early part OF September
until November. They abound in shell
tered bays and tide creeks Still another
smelt occurs around the shores of the
Gulf of Alaska. which is identical with
one OF the California species and very
excellent food fish. The capelin is found
among all parts of the coast and is one of
the most important food species OF the
cod and salmon. Eulachon are very com
mon in the Gulf OF Alaska, particularly
az Katmai, on the peninsula OF Alaska,
where they have been sailed and meet
ready sale. The foregoing representatives
OF the salmon family have been reviewed
simply To call attention to the wealth Of
the territory in superior food fishes.
Their commercial importance up to the
present time is small, but they win fig
ure eventually and very prominently
among the resources OF Alaska. There
is no doubt that many OF the small
marine species play n very important
part in attracting the larger commercial
species Of the salmon family to certain
localities. Washington Star.

A Cure for Hangnail.

A small and almost imperceptible hang
nail often causes the owner of the hand
which bears il an endless amount Of an
noyance and vexation. 1t is the general
rule anicures to the contrary, not
withstanding-tha the nails that are the
least attended are better than those that
arc continually doctorcd. The man who
cuts hangnail in nine cases out OF ten
lays the way for a much more vigorous
successor. Satisfactory results are al
ways obtained by adopting the habit Of
pushing the skin back from the nail after
washing the hands. The dry end of the
towel should be taken and the skin
pressed back wherever 1t ovcrruns the
nail. This breaks its adhesiveness to the
nail and makes hangnails impossible.
Where the skin is allowed 10 grow fast
TO the nail trouble invariably results, be-
cause the nail in growing out pulls tho
skin with it. and when IL breaks from the
tension the hangnail is formed. Il Phila-

Diamond Mines.

Biologists have proved that the dia-
mond mines of South Africa are situated
in vents or chimneys, varying from about
seventy feet TO 500 feet in diameter,
and descending vertically through the
schists which form the ordinary strata of
the district. These vents are filled up
with fragments of siilcated and magpes-
ian rocks. in which the diamonds are
scattered, and before the diggings began
each was capped by hillock or ''kopjc."
They are seventeen in number. and run
in straight line about 100 miles. The
question of their origin has recently been
discussed by NJ. Daubrec, a well-known
French geologist, ut meeting of the
Academic DIES Sciences, Paris. They
have, OF course, been opeLed by an erup-
tive force from the interior of the earth's
crust, but they differ from the usual vol
canic cracks of assures. M. Daubree at
tributes them to the outburst of impris-
oned gases, and has made u number of
experiments at the Labom.oirc Centralef
des Poudres ct Salpctres in Paris, to
prove his theory. Explosions of dyna-
mite and gun cotton were made in steel
cylindir or mortar, and the escaping
gases made to pcrforatc masses OF rock.
Limestone, gypsum, slate, granite, por-
celain, glass, crystal and steel were all
fractured and bored in this manner. 1t
follows from his experiments that gases
at a high velocity, say exceeding 1900
metres a second, and especially when
aided by heat, are powerful agents Of
geological erosion. They are able to bore
regular vents or chimneys in rocks, if
there is crack on assure to concentrate
their energy in one spot. The diamond
vents of South Africa are. in his view,
the effect Of compressed gases exploding
from the interior Of the earth at certain
points along line of fissurc; and the
strip or grooves observed on the sides Of
the vent are another proof of this eXpla-
nation. IL Boston Transcript.
