Lost Alaskans Heard From.

Whatcom. Nov. 24-Special.-Van Hen
bricks, who with J. w. Black and Henry
With went to the upper Yukon from
Fairhaven in March, 1892, and has long
been given up for lost has been heard
from. Black and Wirth returned in the
fan of 1892. having left Hendricks at the
mouth of the Kiukuk river, a tributary of
the Yukon. which rises far up within the
Arctic circle. Ii was Hendricks intention
10 go up that river several hundred miles
TO a place from which vague reports of
rich ''diggings" had been brought by the
Indians. Since then nothing has been
heard from him until quite recently. Mr.
Black, who is now in the employ of Re
celver David, of the Blaine bank. has Just
received letter from Hendricks sister
In West Lebanon, o, in which she reports
the receipt OF letter from her brother,
dated at AnVik, Alaska, August Is. and
received by her November 2. Anvik is a
little station on the Yukon, about 600 miles
from its mouth. Hendricks was then well
and making his way homeward. his long
and perilous trip having been nnsuccess-
full financially. It is also learned that his
brother. VIII Hendricks, formerly en-
ployed by the Bellingham Bay Improve
ment Company at the Ocean dock here,
and who was for some time agent for the
Union Pacific in Fairhaven. was killed in
the railroad yards at Danyil!e. H., last
August.
Mr.. Black read with interest the report
IN the POst-Intelligencer yesterday OF the
shooting of Capt. Heaiy OF the Yukon
steamer +. q. Weare. and he confirms az
that Mr.. Lilly says Of the captains bru-
tally. and his opinion OF Capt Healy. Of
the revenue cutter Bear, is hardly less
favorable. The two captains were at the
mouth OF the Yukon with their vessels
when Black and With came down late in
the summer or 1892. The Bear was about
10 leave FOR san Francisco and the Weare
for habitable station up the Yukon but
both of the captains brutalIy refused 70
take the two men aboard. and It was only

Growth oil Agricultural Schools.

A very gratifying announcement is
that of the opening recently of we'll
equipped agricultural school at Ken
sico, Westchester County, N. Y. The
school has been established and will be
maintained by private bequest, and
is to be known as the "Brace Memorial
Training Farm" The building which
is to shelter the young farmers is three
stories in height, bnilt in the old
Colonial style of architecture, and is
large and roomy enough to accommo-
date 100 students. A number of earn
est young men have been enrolled,
and the work gives every promise of
being highly successful. In this con-
nection it will be interesting. perhaps,
to note the progress of similar institu-
tlons throughout the country. In
fourteen States schools devoted to this
special work are maintained for both
white and colored students. The total
number of institutions Offering courses
in agriculture is si1ty-fve. In these
institutions the college course leading
to degree in agriculture extends over
period OF three or four years, while
there are shorter courses in dairying
and similar work, which cover only a
few months. Besides these there are
courses of lectures on farming given
in various localities by members of the
faculties of these colleges. These
courses are particularly popular.
Some idea Of the extent of this work
may be gained from the following
figures taken from the Uuited States
Agricultural Report: The total num-
Der of professors in the faculties OF
these several colleges numbered in the
past year 1882; the total number Of
students, 1923; the total revenue OF
those institutions for the year was
81, O24, 1872; and the value CT additions
to their equip ment is placed atSl, 4Sl,-

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW.

You may not know, and if you do
not, you will find it useful to bulletin
in the kitchen the fact:
That slamming the door of the oven
will make cake 'fall.
That little knowledge, for from be
ing dangerous, often saves the COOK
cookery from disaster.
That plunging macaroni for sin
gle minute in bath of cold water
after it has been cooked tender in
boiling salted water prevents it being
"pasty."
That a pinch of powdered sugar,
and another of corn starch beaten in
with the yolks of eggs. will keep an
omelet from collapsing. Beat the
whites stiff and cut them into the
yolks.
That Tablespoonful of chicory,
to one-third of cup of Mocha and
two-thirds of Java Tor thereabouts)
gives the rich, dark tint and peculiar
flavor of French after-dinner 'black
coffee"
That couple of sheets OF big news
paper wrapped about ice will keep it
half as long again as ice that is nncov-
cred. The paper is much more cleanly
than piece of blanket, as it can be
removed daily.
That shaking potatoes after the
jackets are off for minute at the open
window will make them "mealy." The
cold draught causes the starch cells
to burst open, making the feathery
white flakes that are in such agreeable
contrast to the sodden mass served too
often for potato.
That the secret of making sponge
cake is not to beat the air all out of the
eggs after it is once beaten. Beat the
yolks to O mass of bubbles, and the
whites stiff froth. Then cut them
into each other with few
crosswise thrusts of fork, and cut
the eggs into the cake mixture in the
same fashion. Do not beat the cake
after the eggs are added.

The "Boom, Boom" OF tue Blasts.

People within ten miles of the val.
ley of the Des PLANES River, in Illi-
nois, can hear the dinner-bell of the
sanitary canal. They know when the
low growls of the exploding dynamite
come from the rock-cut that hundreds
of tons Of limestone are breaking
away from the bedrock and that
thousands OF laborers are cleaning the
plates on the mess tables in the con-
tractors camps, for the blasts are shot
at noon.
Visitors arc first warned of their
danger by the red flag which is al
ways displayed near the face of the
working where the lock is to be
blasted, and they receive another
warning from the men who scramble
from the floor of the cut to the sur
face on their way to dinner. The
"boom, boom" of the blasts rolls
along the canal from one end of the
rock-cut to the other, for it is dyna-
mite which is cleaving way through
the backbone Of the divide preparing
a bed for the great river which is to
carry Lake Michigan's waters to the
Mississippi. Before the canal is COM
pleted thousands of tons of dynamite
will have been exploded, for it is esti-
mated that for every cubic yard OF
rock half pound of dynamite is used.
The three-legged rock drills drive
series of holes across the canal; the
channeling machines cut narrow fur
rows twelve feet deep along the sides
of the canal, and then nan-wish o
wooden ramrod drives dynamite cart
ridges into the holes. At noon g
pressure of the finger on an electrical
button explodes the mine and mass
of rock 800 feet long, seven to nine
feet deep and from ten to.twelve feet
thick is shattered into pieces which
can be handled by the men who load
the skips and buckets OF the convey
ors.
A dynamite cartridge is about eight
inches long, an inch and o quarter in
diameter and weighs about half n
pound. 1t is shipped to the canal
from the factories in wooden boxes,
which hold fifty pounds of the ex-
plosive, and comes carload at time.
The dynamite used in the rock-cut is
known as forty per cent. dynamite,
and, contrary to the general belief,
can be thrown from the top of the Ma
sonic Temple to the ground without
exploding, for it is made of forty per
cent. nltro-glycerine and sixty per
cent. "dope. Chicago Record.

Baby Saved From Rats br a Hawk.

A barn belonging to Edgar Put
nam, of Sugar Loaf Hill, Penn,
burned in the fall, and the next day
an army of rats focked into Mr.. Put
mans house and attacked the baby in
the cradle. Mrs. Putnam was work
ing in the buttery, and the cries of
the infant were 80 different from what
they generally we're that she rushed
to it in great haste. She found rats
climbing and pushing one another all
over the cradle. A tame hen hawk
named Dick was doing his best to pro
tect the baby by catching the rats
right and left, giving each squeeze
and then dropping it. Mrs. Putnam
seized her little one and started for
the next room. The ravenous rodents
clung to her skirts, and the hawk
pulled them off aud pinched them
fatally, working as though be knew
that the infant was in danger. Dick
tapped and hoped and flung the rats
around until Mrs. Putnam got out OF
the room without any OF them cling
ing to her clothing. The helpless lit
tie child was badly bitten on the face
ana hands, and Mrs. Putnam said af-
terward that the blood-thirsty rats
would surely have killed the baby If
the watchful hawk had not sailed into
them almost rs soon as they swarmed
into tho house. When Mrs. Putnam
returned to the room Dick was still
killing rats, and he didn't let up until
more than thirty lay dead on tho
floor. New York Sun.

The Earth's Heart May Grow Cold.

Referring to the warmer climate
which is evidenced as having existed
ut one time NIL over the earth, Sir
William Thompson says: "The earth
might be globe of white hot iron,
covered with crust of rock 1000 feet
thick, or there might be m ice-cold
tempernture within fifty feet OF the
surface, yet the climate could not on
that account no sensibly different
from what it is, or tie soil be sensibly
more or less genial than it is for tho
roots OF trees or smaller plants. !"
Manifestly, therefore, the duration of
life upon the surface can in no way be
dependent upon the length or jn-
tensity of heat supply from the il
terror. This, it is claimed, could not
