SEA ANEMONES
Something About These Strange
 and Beautiful Plant Animals

>AnemOnes are beautiful animals thai
 abound on the shores of the sea. They are polyps of q soft gelatinOus texture and have great many tentacles ar
 ranged in circles and extending like rays around the mouth. The bah, anemones have only one row of tenta cles. but they increase gradually out. side.
 Each tentacle is provided with d mum. ber of coilcd threads, called .lasso cells" which when thrown out, en. tangle and poison the prey upon which the anemoness feed. When food is taken they at once fold up their tenta- cles and appear to be in dreamland. After thus mapping they slowly expand by filling with water, and when fully expanded they resemble brilliantly hucd polypetalous flowers. Indeed, the ancients thought them flowers and ac- cordingly gave them the name "roses of the sea-
 Usually the ane,nones are attached to rocks, stones or shells. but they have some power of locomotion, being able to move themselves slowly by d successive contraction and loosening of the base, thus stretching forward one side, and gradually drawing the other along. They are very voracious animals. yet they are so constituted that it is possible for them to live for months without food
 Anemones have but little intelligence. Apparently they are not even conscious of prey until it comes in contact with their extremely sensitive tentacles. It is d singular fact that they are reproduce ed in four ways: First. from eggs, which are formed and developed on the parent anemone: when developed, the eggs drop into the water and produce young anemones. They also increase by budding like shrubs: oftentinres sev- elal buds grow upon one parent and drop off when perfect in form. Self di- vision Is another way by which these strange animals may he increased in number: when cut into sections with d knife. each section produces a perfect ancmonc.
 The fourth method of reproduction is perhaps the strangest. In tearing away from the rocks or shells to which they have been clinging. the parent anemones often leave small pieces of themselves. which in d short time. as- sumc life and form. become perfect anemones. and move off lcisurely in search of new abiding places. -Phila- delphia Times.

BELLY MOUNTAIN DISTRICT
Park County man Writes of the
 Stikeen River Route
Livingston tMont) Post.

Livingston tMont.) Post
 Dr. w. l.. shawn has just received d letter. hearing date of Jan 9, 1898. from a former resident of Horr, and q fre- quent visitor in Livingston. James Jenkins. a trusty miner who worked at the mines at Aldridge. prior to the lockout last summer. and who is now on the way to the Pelly Mountain gold fields of Alaska. Mir. Jennings speaks in glowing terms of the Stikeen river route by way of Fort Wrangel and pros pectols in this vicinity will do we'll to read Mr. Jenkins letter Carefully, in re- gard to the feasibility and advantages of the Stikeen river route. The letter in part is given below:
 Fort Wrangel is growing and pros porous town. nearly opposite the mouth of the Stikeen river. with d very fine climate. in fact like summer since nave been here. This has been the ti- nest winter in my life's experience. The Canadian Pacific will be extended to Dcasc House. above Telegraph. and on to Teslin Lake. and thence to Daw- son, as il is level country all the way from Delsc to Dawson.
 My advice to any one who intends to go to the interior is to book themselves right through on the Northern Pacific to Wrangel by means 1f the elegantly equipped steamers of Seattle. They can get all their outfit as cheap at Wrangcl from Duncan MckinnOn. who is an old miner and Alaskan since the 1o's and who is honest and reliable and knows exactly what miner needs to take with him out there.
 Our party is bound for Lake Teslin. which is about l45 miles over good wagon road from Telegraph. thence north up the Nisultine river to the head tributaries of the same. which arise from the Pelly mountains. where We intend to locate our claims. ae the latest reports heard here are very bright of this Id. My outfit weighs about ',00 pounds. l took this small amount becallf,- We 1r,. anxious to .et away. with the summer before Us. aud expect to haze to come oul to fife cnr claims later on.

HEALTH PROTECTION
A Merchant who Didn't wash for
 Eleven days
Tried, Proved Guilty. d d Heavily
 Fi ed

O. Thursday. the 27th. d trial of widespread interest to Wranyel and Stikeen River districts. was held at Cottonwood Island. before Judge II. D.. Mr. F-- c. one of Tcle- graph Creeks most prominent mer- chants was arrested on the very serious charge of disregarding the public health laws by not washing himself for the space of eleven days. The prisoner was arrested under warrant in the hands of Constable Dick while seated in the tent of Mr. Barlee and taken to the tent of Judge H D where he received an impartial trial at the hands of his honor. Mr. Mct tluskey. Tcle graph Creek Indian swore that the prisoner had not washed his hands and face since leaving Tel egraph Creek. Ar. Dinnis Ia Tele- graph Creek Indian testified to the same effect. The prisoner complained that he had been out to Deese lake and back. the trip taking + days. and did not wash the whole time and no com plalnt was made. or any proccedinps taken on his return. He also charged his honor with not having washed since hls departure from Telegraph Creek. but his honor very properly ruled that that had nothing to do with the case under consideration. The prisoners counsel. Mr. M made a very elo- quent appeal on behalf of his client and stated that as he was not in the habit of washing himself and that Goihg so would most likely have q serious effect on his health. To the present charge he had no direct defence to offer but threw himself on the mercy of the court. and thought that small fine would meet the charge. His honor said that this was most serious offence and would be liable to breed pestilence if persevered in. however as this was the first time the prisoner had been before him he would impose the lenient penalty of a fine ot five gallons of beer to be purchased at Wrangel, but at the same time warned him that should he appear before hin again he would send him to the coop fol an extended term.
 NOTES
 His honor was observed at the ed pt of the river with soap and towel l( minutes after the end of the trial Comment is needless.
 The counsel for the defense observed to the Stikeen river journalist that he was afraid that his honor could no claim to have ''clean hands, in thi. case.
 The Siwash Bellies of Wrangel hat better get out their best bibs and tuck prs. Telegraph Creeks pride. the great and only McClusky will be ir own when this appears.

ELEVATORS CARRY MILLIONS
More than Forty Thousand Pas. sensers Each Hour in Thirty
 Buildings

An estimate of the number of people carried by elevators in New York busi- ness houses is purely a matter of con lecture. One of the members of d large firm engaged in the manufacture of ele- Vators gave his estimate that about hM,MA) passengers are carried daily in about thirty of the sky scraping build- lngs alone. Another person connected with the same firm said that this esti- mate shoulG be doubled to. be correct.
 ltis difficult to keep record of the persons using elevators. In the case of the elevated railroads, surface roads and other common carriers, the tickets or money collected can be used as d means of obtaining statistics. but noth. ing of this kind is possible with the ele- vators. which are patronized daily by thousands of persons who pay nothing for the privilege.
 It is estimated that in the average building using several elevators. trips are made every minute and a half. One large retail store in Sixth avenue has 32 elevators. Many of the buildings have eight and ten. and the number in other buildings varies from one to six. Taking thirty buildings with six eleva- tors. each carrying six passengers per trlplt will be seen that in one hour 43. 2OO passengers would be carried. In live busy hours 2l6,OOO passengers would represent the number of persons carried in only 30 buildings. From this 1t may be seen that with thousands Of elevators in use in New York. the figures are enormous. In 1887 it was estimated that l6,OOO persons were car ried in one day by the two elevators in the Potter building.
 In the clearing house 25O passengers patronize the elevator regularly be. tween F and o'clock. The New York Life building has eight elevators in op. eration. and it is reported that each el. evator carries 200 passengers are car. ried daily. The Postal Telegraph building elevators average 2,7OO hours work per month. A low estimate of the number of passengers carried may be put at 300 passengers per hour, equal tt SlO,OOO persons in one month. When il is remembered that this represents the service in one building, it will be seer that the amount of work done by eleva tors is vast.-New York Commercial.

THE TEACHERS CONFER.

Some forty teachers met in the
High School room, Saturday. after.
noon, Sept. 18th, for the purpose of
determining whether the monthly
meetings heretofore in vogue be
adopted or whether semi annual ses-
sions be held in lieu thereof. There
we're good points for both plans men,
toned, but the monthly session plan
prevailed. The organization for the
North Section was as follows: Presi-
dent, Principal Jones; Vice President,
Miss Van Camp; Secretary, Miss Ella
Root.
The plan of work is literature, and
the years work is to be on Emerson,
Mr.. Race to conduct the class work.
A program for the year is to be FORM
ulated. Miss Joan Peterson, Mr..
Gullette, Mr.. Jones and Mr.. Race were
named committee to prepare pro-
gram. The meetings are to be held
from lis p. m. to 3:45 p. m. Mr..
Race said, "Let us this year enroll
every earnest teacher. Let us put
intensive study upon the work. Let
us bring honesty and purpose in these
meetings. The confession that we
don't know must lead, if We be sincere,
to the desire to know bv faithful in
vestigation. These meetings must,
more than ever, broaden, deepen and
refresh the mind and thus secure
better results in the schoolroom "
Continuing, he said, 'There must be
in these meetings something for all of
us. Something for the high school
teachers. The whole problem is the
developement of mind and body. The
method is secondary, and yet methods
are helpful and necessary"
Each member will be furnished with
q years program later. Child study,
pedagogy and schoolroom work will
have a place in each meeting.
The South Side Section will meet at
Lamberton, Oct. ], at 1:3O p. M, for
similar purpose.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by ap inf1amed condition of the
muscous lining of the Eustachian tube.
When this tube gets infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it IS entirely closed deafness is the re-
suit. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
aormal condition. hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed
condition OF the muscous surfaces.
We will give one hundred dollars for any

second on the first heat, but after that
heat he won the next two and first
money. Cleve Boy went off or was
forced off his feet in both the second
and third heats, and the raising was
what gave the race to McGregor.
The most exciting race was the
free for all running race, best two
out of three heats. So close was the
first heat, that it was declared to be
q dead heat between Bonnie and w.

won out and Kirk and Dick were

GERMANY INTENDS TO
 REMAIN NEUTRAL
State Department Assured There Will Be No Interference at
 Manila,

WASHINGTON, June 24.-The Asso- ciated Press is able to state on au- thority that permission to land marines or troops at Manila has not been sought by the German Ambassador here of the State Department, nor has any such permission been granted. In fact, there have been no overtures ex- changed on the subject.
 The only important development at to-day's Cabinet meeting was the posi- tive settlement of the question of the attitude of Germany with respect to the Philippines. The Secretary of State has received assurances which settle beyond question all doubts on this point. Germany has no intention, pres ent or prospective, of interfering in any way with the nolicy or plans of the United States in regard to the occupa- tion of the islands.
 It's attitude has been and will con- tinue to be one of strict neutrality. This statement, coming from high of ficial sources, is accepted by this Gov ernment in perfect good faith and is regarded as final and conclusive. No attention will be paid by this Govern ment to any reports to the contrary which are constantly being sent out, as, 1t is believed, in the interest of Spain. Official reports received from Admiral Dewey at Manila state that there never has been an intimation that Germany or any other nation by it's naval repre- sentatives has ever shown the least dis position to overstep the line of strict neutrality, nor has there been any req | son to believe that the Germans sym pathies were strongly with the Spanish l in the present struggle.
