Sulphur,

A curious chemical result Of experf.
ments made by Strindberg, as noted in
Annales Industrielles, is that sulphur
is not only not simple body, but not
even an original one, being simply d
common fossil rosin or bitumen. He
finds that when sulphur is melted at
about 30 degrees. it disengages an odor
OF turpentine or camphor, and If q
trace Of iodine be added the odor be.
comes more marked. If it be heated
anew to between 100 degrees and $50
degrees. it loses oxygen and drops to the
level Of caoutchouc. Of which latter
it assumes the color and consistency
then. II the brown and viscous liquid
which Is obtained in this manner be
cooled, 1t preserves its nature for a GER
tain length of time, and then resumes
its state Of rosin.

A Pine Knot Squirrel Hunt.

"a pine knot squirrel hunt is about
the mos. exciting sport l know" said
A. r. McIlvane. "In the pine woods Of
the south there are a great many SPUR
rels, and the ground is covered with
knots These are very hard, and their
shape renders them much easier than
stones to throw straight. Frequently
parties Of expert throwers are formed to
kill squirrels without guns, and it is re.
markable how successful they are.
When a squirrel is sighted. the man
who discovers him has the first throw.
and if the squirrel is not hit it belongs
to whoever gets it. About one half Of
the throws bring the squirrels down,
and the party will often return with 100
of the animals. As the trees are high
and the squirrels are generally on the
branches, the difficulty of hitting them
is very great, but the skill Of a great

NEGLECTED ALASKA.

Twenty-Five years have passed since
Alaska was organized as a territory, the
organization meaning little except that it
was given a place on the map of the
United States. Even in this year, polit-
ical almanacs it fails to reach the dignity
OF separate mention. General tables
state that it contains 577 800 square miles,
or nearly twelve time the area of New
York, and that up to 1894 it had sent to
the minis about 81 $780, 900 in gold. The
existence of gold in Alaska has been
known for fifteen years, yet neither for
that nor other reasons has the United
States government taken any steps to-
ward developing the territory. On the
great river OF that region, the Yukon, we
are understood to have one postmaster,
appointed last year. Congress last week

Hawaii would be troublesome property

domain. 1t has been that only as an out

maintained mounted police there
for some time and consequently offers
the settler better local government than
miners law. The international boundary
has not yet been fixed, which is to say
that the settlement of this matter has
been neglected until the uncertainties
connected with it are many and pressing
Some of the gold. bearing streams are in
doubt in relation to the boundary. One
of the Canadian forts is said to be on
United States soil. The Canadian claim
as to the southeast boundary involves the
control of the inland route to the Yukon

complications has been multiplied by the
rush to the mines and thousand con.

one existed year ago.

Some Of the statesmen at Pierre are
making All effort to change the laws
affecting newspapers, as usual. This
effort is made at every session An
effort is being made to repeal the Law
relative to the foreclosure of Mortgages
by advertisement and have the same
done by court process. Another stock

grievance against some particular
newspaper in his locality, is to repeal
the law relative to official newspapers.
not stopping to consider that he is leg
islating for the state of South Dakota
instead of some particular county or
locality, and upsettlng an arrangement
which is satisfactory to perhaps all the
rest of the state. The law, formerly, as
we understand it, provided for one
official paper in each county, and it was
allowed full legal rates. Afterwards, for
the better convenience of the reading
public, and for the wider dissem nation
of the official proceedings of county
boards, this law was changed, so as to
provide for three Official papers for each
county, where three were published,
each to be allowed one.third legal rates.
which arrangement is small assistance
to much larger number of newspapers,
and convenience and accommodation
to three times the number of taxpayers
reached by one paper. at substantially
no increase in the cost. There IS no
clamor on the part of either people or
press for any change in these laws. We
have stated the reasons for the change
in the number Of official papers. Re-
garding the law relative to foreclosure
of mortgages by advertisement. it is
preferable, from the standpoint of the
general public, to the court process. be-
cause it gives the mortgagor and all
