low like the Coffee Cooler would seek to
gain little brief notoriety by challeng-
ing the black giant. but he invariably
treated them with dignified contempt
and even denied them the consolation of
a public refusal.
Jackson was always popular in Amer
lea. He was quiet in his manner and
polite In his bearing, and even those
who were prejudiced against him be-
cause of his color admitted that he
never attempted the slightest liberties.
Many persons in America will. there
fore, be interested in knowing some
thing about Jackson.
With the exception OF his eyes and a
certain fiabbincss and laxity of move
ment Jackson's London life has left
slight marks on him. Alcohol has not
swollen his face and his cheeks have
still the old lean, drawn look, while the
high cheek bones which usually go with
the combative temperament are as
prominent as ever. 1t is only when he
talks or when he moves around that the
change in him is noticed. Sometimes
when he lifts his glass his big hands
shake a little, and there is a curious
halt now and then In his speech as II

not find.

The men in America have too much to
do to hang around stage doors. There
is a sameness about most of the epis-

by an indignant chorus girl, is fair

Mine All Winter.

The other day Mr.. Charles Brown
arrived at Victoria from Fort Consi
dine, where he has charge of her males
ty's customs at the junction of the
Yukon ON Forty Mile creek. He trav
eled with team of dogs 700 miles
down Dyea pass since the middle OF
January. His observations along the
way are of incalculable value to persons
going north with the intention of en-
gaging in sluice mining on the Yukon
He reports that large proportion OF
the population remained throughout
the winter on the Yukon, there being
when he left between 1900 and 1000
miners at Circle City and Forty Mile.
1t has been found that work can be-
done in the placer claims all the year
round, strange as it may seem, the dirt
being taken out during the long and
severe winter and very little practical

United States Consul General De-
kay, at, Berlin, has submitted to the
state department an interesting report
of the later developments of the x rays,
accompanied by pamphlet in which
Prof. Roentgen, the discoverer. explains
his researches. The consul generals
report gives many facts that have been
discovered by the European expert
menters in regard to the rays, which
are unknown in this country. One of
the most important applications of the
rays has been made surgically. BY
placing subject to be examined be-
fore screen faced with mixture oil

allowing the rays from tube inclosed
in a dark cloth to traverse the body
the impression can be seen by the eye
on the screen, which is rendered

ruptedly upon it, and the surgeon ii
consequently enabled to view the sub
ject freely before the screen and ex

February Weather Review, 1896.

February 1896 was month remark

Although in the western section OF
the state the mean temperature was

There was no report of any below
