The Electrician at PLAY.

can electrician who amuseS himself
by deyising odd applications of cleo
tricity, which may or may not have
practical value, tells chemists that he
has a much better plan for removing
the glass stopper from bottle than the
usual holding of the bottle neck for
awhile over a BunSen burner. This
method is open to the drawback that
the bottle must be held in a horizontal
position, and the fluid may easily be
spilled out of the bottle The up-to date
Improvement is an adjustable clamp
with coils of PLATINUM wire embedded
in a strip of asbestos attached. The
clamp. which is connected to battery,
is put on the neck of the bottle, the cur
rent is turned on. and the glass is
brought to any desired heat. This is,
in fact, an adaptation of the electro
therm. or heating pad, which is now
used in hospitals in lieu Of hot water
pads formerly in vogue. Another nov
city of this resourceful electrical trifier
is an electric annihilator of moths, flies
and mosquitoes. 1t consists of an in
candescent electric lamp placed inside
a large globe which is coated external
~ with a mixture of honey and wine,
or any other seductive sticky mass.
The window and doors are to be closed,
the blinds pulled down, and the room
is to be made as dark as possible. The
current is then turned on. and in an
hour the insect life Of the room will be
found sticking to the glass globe The
final instructions are to remove the
victims with hot water and set the trap
afresll.''

thing to do considering the circum-
stances. He had scarcely finished when
there was an uproar from every side of
the Senate chamber. All were talking at
once, and Crispi. who was in the chair,
found it extremely difficult to restore or
der. The proposed measure was merci-
lessly ridiculed and it's originator came in
for some exceedingly cutting remarks.
Finally Count LaurenZano in the heat of
the debate became too personal to suit
NJ. Casale. The Count, he said, ought
not to be SO touchy on this subject, see
ing that it would not deprive him of any
revenue. This created u great deal of
laughter at the expense of the Count,
whose ancestors are said to have welded
the razor for. living. The Count re-
torted upon Casale by insinuating that
he had never had the price of shave
anyway This was the last straw. The
Count and his disputant rushed at each
other and NJ. Casale banged the noble
Duke in the nose. This was signal for
a general fight among the Italian states
men. and Crispi sat powerless while the
excitement lasted. The sergeant alarms
finally restored peace. There is no tax
on boards and the finances of the coun-
try are in the same deplorable condition
as before.

The Italian Government is in sore
financial straits and bankruptcy seems
inevitable unless substantial help comes
from some quarter, it matters little
where. so it comes soon. There is Moth
ing in the treasury to meet the enormous
deficit of last years budget, and where
this years expenses are to be derived
from is o matter too remote even for con-
lecture. Italy wants money and wants
it badly. The financiers of the country
have done everything in their power to
float a loan. but without success. Crispi
finally appealed to the Chamber of Depu-
ties. Everything that could possibly be
taxed has been made to pay tribute. and
to find something new on which to levy
was by no means an easy matter.
There were many schemes proposed.
but all were found to have some serious
drawback for practical application. After
several days of spicy debate on this topic
M Casale, Deputy from Spiro. proposed
a tax on boards.
His idea was that all men who had
beard of any kind were Unfortunately vain
of this adornment Rather than to sacri-
fee it to the cruel razor they would pre-
fer to pay moderate tax for its protec-
ton Besides, this would be patriotic

ALASKAN BOUNDARY DISPUTE.
England Seeks Easy Access to the
Rich Yukon Cola Fields.

Rich Yukon Cola Fields.
The time Is not far distant when, for
the fourth time, the United States will
become involved in an International
boundary dispute. This time it will
again be with Great Britain, and the
question at issue will be the exact 10
cation of the boundary line between
southeastern Alaska and British Co
lumbia. When the Russians transfer
red Alaska to the United States in
1867 1t was understood that the ques-
ton Of boundary was definitely set
tied. The authority for this belief was
the treaty between Russia and Great
Britain, made in 1925. In this treaty
1t was agreed that the boundary of
southeastern Alaska should be on the
south, the line which later in the ad-
ministra ton of Polk became so well
known in the popular expression: eff
ty-four forty, or fight" From Port
land Channel, which indents the coast
at this point the line extending north
always ten marine leagues from the
ocean. The western boundary of the
main body of Alaska was fixed at the
141st degree Of west longitude, placing
it forever beyond dispute.
Since that treaty the question of
boundary has not been raised until
within the last few years When Sec
rotary Seward paid Russia 81, 20O,O 900 in
gold for what was then popularity sup
posed to be an arctic wilderness few
people thought that the vast area Of
land would ever be of sufficient i'm
portance to even lend dignity to an in
ternational dispute. But since two Of
it's smallest islands alone have con-
trolled the sealslin supply of the world
and it's salmon fisheries have supplied
the market and gold mines have been
discovered in Alaska, the people of the
United States have been slowly forced
to acknowledge the wisdom and fore
sight Of Lincolns Secretary of State in
acquiring this valuable possession.
Not so slow has England been in real
izing the situation and the possibility
Of her gaining central of the interior
gold fields.
The United States asserts that the
DOuHudFy Inc TuHS pdiaIlel U the WlHu-
ing Of the bays and inlets indenting

from salt water. The two construc
tons held to by England are: 1. That
ten marine leagues from the ocean
means that distance from the outer
coast line of the many islands along
the coast. In this case the line would
in many places not even reach the main
land Another English construction of
the treaty is that the boundary should
be measured from the general coast
line of the capes and points Of land of
the mainland. The claim of the United
States is simply for strip of land thir-

ApDle Rust.

Who that has seen cider press In
operation has not admired the deep,
rich, golden-red color that the juice Of
the apples assumes as it gathers in the
receptacles? This characteristic hue of
cider is almost as pleasing to the eye
as the favor of the fresh, sweet juice
Is to the sense Of taste. 1t reminds
one of the colors of the autumn land
scapes amid which the apples have
owes it's beautiful color to the fact
that it oxides or rusts.
A French chemist has recently shown
that the apple contains an OXidiZing
ferment, kind of diastose, which pro-
duces the brOWnish or reddish color of
cider. The manner in which this sub
stance produces oxidation can readily
be observed by any one who cuts an
apple open and leaves it exposed for u
short time to the air. The cut surface
gradually turns red, as the oxygen of
the air unites with the juice, or in q
word, the apple rusts. This rusting
of an apple may also be brought about
ny SlIupfy I'll tuC HUI WllAOuI
breaking the skin. Everybody knows
that apples that have fallen violently
to the ground show red or rusty spots
underneath the bruised rind. In this
case the oxygen is derived from the
air contained in the duets or interstices
among the tissues of the fruit, and it
becomes active through the breaking
of the cells that inclose the oxfdizing
ferment. If an apple is cooked before
the skin is broken its tissues do not
oxidize when exposed to the air. This
is explained on the supposition that the
oxidizing properties Of the ferment are
destroyed by heat. But let the apple
rust if it likes; the uncounted thou
sands who look upon it as the king of
fruits will never regard this favorite
the less fondly for that. And who
knows how much of it's deliciousness in
the mouth may be due to the very ele-
ment that causes it to oxidize when left
wasting in the air?

white may occur in any normally col

After being killed, the legs of the
horses are cut off at the knee, the name
and tail removed, slit made the whole
length of the skin, and the head
skinned and also part of the neck.
A rope is made fast to the skin. so it
cannot slip, chain put around the neck
and fastened to post, and power is
applied. In ten seconds the skin comes
off, few cuts and slashes ensue, and
the horse is on the way to the cooling
room, or being boiled up for canning
purposes.

Health have taken cognizance of this

a determined effort being made to sup

indiscriminate sale of the product is
concerned. 1t is charged that quite

are very much concerned for fear these
exposures will injure their trade, and

embargo on legitimate products.
