married in Randolph, Me-, last
week.
A twenty-year-old printer OF
Brixen named Delago, recently
scaled the :westermost and
highest of the Rosengarten
Dolomites in Tyrol and came
down safely. The peak is $3.50
feet above sealevel, rising al
most perpendicularly.
A Hindu who stammers has
found that he, stammers more
on moonlight than on other
nights, and when he sleeps in
the moonlight he stanmers
most on the days succeeding
the full moon and not at all
on the day before and the day
after the new moon. Nature
says this agrees with other
observations.
A young Swede going by the
name of Charles Haydenson,
who has been employed as a
farm hand in the neighborhood
of Henderson, KY, for six years,
was discovered last week to be
a woman. 1t was naturally a
surprise to the hundreds of
people who had worked with
him so long and never sus-
pected his reel sex.
Very little honey will be
gathered in many localities
this year as a direct result of
the unusually long drought.
Flowers were comparatively
scarce, and the bees seemed to
get little honey from what
flowers there were. In several
parts of Pennsylvania, it is
said there is danger of bees
starving to death during the
winter. In many districts
there is no honey to gather for
market, the little collected be-
ing needed by the bees for their
own use.
tits believed that an extensive
field of valuable coal has been
discovered within fifty miles
of Juneau, Alaska. IF this proves
to be so it will, of course, mean
very much for the development
of that region. 1t lis known that
excellent coal exists in many
parts of Alaska, but the dis
coveries, SO far, have been re-
mote from the settled regions.
A Hoonah Indian brought into
Juneau some three weeks ago
several pieces of excellent an
thracite coal which he said he
found at a place fifty miles
from the town, and from his
description it is thought that
a vein several feet thick is crop
ping out on sidehill.
One odd result of the close of
the war between China snd
Japan is war of rates between
the steamship lines plying
between the Pacific ports of
this country and the Orient.
There are three lines now COM
peting for the business. After
the cessation of hostilities
several ships which were char
tered as transports were re-
leased and began seeking
freights. But the main trouble
is that the Japanese Govern
ment is about to start a line
of steamships, using several
vessels that were bought for
transports or for make-shift
cruisers, and are now available
for peaceful purposes. Freight
rates already are being cut in
all lines, and there is every
prospect of cut in passenger
rates.
Some time ago Montana
passed a law declaring gamb-
ling illegal, and the several
scores of faro banksand other
gambling houses that had been
running in the principal towns
since white men first moved
into the region shut up shop.
But the law was taken to the
Supreme court of the state on
a test case, and a week ago the
court decided that the new An
ti-Gambling law is unconsti-
tutional, and that the old law,
which licensed gambling, is
still in force. The afternoon of
the day on which the decision
was rendered a score or more
OF gambling houses in Butte
began business, and things
were running wide open again
by nightfall.
