HOPE FOR THE INDIAN.

There is hope for the Indian vet ii we
may safely Judge from the development
Of his financial instincts as indicated in
the reports from the Alaskan coast.
There, We are informed, are gathered
about 5000 palefaces OF all classes and con-
ditions, all alike wild with the Klondike
lever. They have bundles boxes and bales
Of goods-furs, m occasins blankets, picks,
shovels, tents, stoves, rubber suits, bacon
-four preserved onions and dried garlic
Many have more than they can pack and
more haven't enough to assure them
against starvation on the journey to the
goldfields OF the north, even if there was a
likelihood of them all getting over White
or Chilcoot pass.
A few have well-lined purses and all
have at least a small supply OF ready
money. All are armed to the teeth, as it
were, and every one Of them is supposed
TO have known Alaska like a book before
he discovered the treacherous sandspit at
Dyea or the advertised allurement OF
Skaguay's wharf.
These 5000 have focked thither from all
parts of the country. They want 10 get
to where shining gold nuggets are as plen.
in Guatemala. They don't reckon on any
small pickings-they want buckets of gold
dust and barrels of bullion. These for
tune-hunters at the head of Lynn Cana.
are eating up their food supplies and los.
ing money every day.
But we started out to speak Of Indian
shrewdness and sagacity. The red man
shows as much appreciation of money in
these times as he ever exhibited for stove.
pipe hats and red blankets. He Is indus
uiously engaged in rolling up wealth. for
himself in dollars which were luggel up
to Uncle Sans cold preserves by the over
am bilious white man. The latter caLnot
stand the strain OF packing freight over
the passes; the husky aborigines do
it with ease and grace. and, taking
advantage OF the helplessness OF the
tenderfoot whose ancestors appropriated
the best hunting grounds Of the Indian
and drove him into small fields with slen-
der pickings. the noble Ch:leoots raise the
rates for packing whenever they feel like it.
If the white man kicks at exorbitant
charges the Indian shrugs his shoulders
ana tells his llly-faced brother to carry his
ON bundle. This being quite an pos
sibility, the tenderfoot is soon forced to
yield the full carryinx-price If he wants to
make progress on his way TO the Yukon
mines. The Indian has cinch and he is
acquainted With the fact. He has klon-
dixie of his own down on the Alaskan
coast. He is getting affluent at the ex-
pense of our friends and relations. He has
a corner on the packing business, and he
is working it for all it is worth. Doubt
less, Lo will be rich and comfortable and
happy when majority of these tender
feet, poorer il not wiser. are endeavoring
10 work their way back to civilization.
More health to tho Chilcoot Indian, and
may he enrich himself TO the top OF his
desires at the cost of those people who, in
relation to this Klondike business, have
rushed northward at the wrong season,
blind to consequences, and spurning good
advice.

ABOUT LIQUEFIED AIR.

Professor Elihu Thomson suggests that
the waste power OF Niagara be used IN
making LIQUID air. The Niagara power
works through twenty-four hours, aud as
very few industries demand power for the
whole day u surplus is either not used or
wasted. He believes that the excess OF
power can at certain times OF the day be
nut TO us, in COMPRISING air, to be after
ward lquefied on a large scale. Liquid
air is described as virtually compressed
air, which remains compressed, as IT
were, even when exposed TO ATMOSPHERIC
pressure. Adj lition OF heat gives to 1t
pressure and the ability to do work In
suitable engines in the usual com pressed
air motors.
Since recent methods make it possible
to obtain large quantities OF liquid air by
simple means and at moderate expendi-
ture OF power, it is believed that vast
benefits will accrue to electric engineering.
1.-THE wen-known effect uf cooling by
liquid air or like gases conducting metal
like copper Is to almost abolish its resist-
ance,' observes the professor. "Conse-
ouently conductor 50 cooled is able TO
carry verv much larger currents with less
loss than at ordinary temperatures.
Liquid air has proved to be one OF the
most perfect insulators; but the probe m
that now presents itself is how to obtain
the stability or permanence OF liquid air
in bulk. This sta abiIity is dependent upon
the heat insulation provided, and TO per-
feet this matter OF heat insulation is the
| aim of scientists and electricians inter-
ested in this new means OF energy storage.
