wHIRLED. THE vARNIsH AWAY
Hardened Lacquer Runs Likc-R LIQUID
from n Rapidly Revolving
Dynnmo Disk.

A curious observation was made in
the shops Of an electric establishment
in Berlin the other day. For the pur-
pose Of making certain experiments a
disk covered with varnish sud lacquer
was mounted upon the axle Of a rapid
ly-rotating dynamo, and it was noticed
that when the number OF rotations was
increased to several thousand per min
ute the lacquer covering on the outer
surface would craclSle and break of,
says the Philadelphia Record.
On the sides the varnish, which had
been quite solid, began 10 flow toward
the outer edge and in about an hour
every vestige Of it had entirely disap-
peared. IL is doubtless the centrifu-
gal power which caused that unusual
flow of solid lacquer. There is still an
other fact to be mentioned in This con
nection. The shaft upon whichdhe disc
was mounted remained quite normal
until the number of about 3,5OOuevolu-
tions was reached; from then on the
shaft began to pound and 10 waNer, be
came more quiet after a thousandNmore
revolutions, but started again 10 beat
and pound when 1000 revolutions were
registered. Curiously enough the
pounding was almost entirely stopped
when a slight pressure was brought ~
bear upon one end Of the shaft.

BARLEY is worth $50 a ton, and rails

horse feed instead of grain. As an ex-

pounds of barley. Atthe presentprice

a profit of S42 a ton over the actual sell

FEDERAL ROUTE To- THE YUKON.
ORDER TO SEND OUT EXPLORING
EXPEDITION.
When Practicable Route Is Discov-
cred 1t Will Be Marked For Fut-
ure Travel-Klondike News.

Washington, Feb. 3.-The secretary of
war has telegraphed instructions to
General Merriam, commanding the de-
partment of Columbia, Feb. l, to or
ganize and send an exploring expedi-
ton over the Copper River route in
Alaska for the purpose of ascertaining
whether a practicable summer or win
ter route, wholly within the territory
of the United States, for mail and sup
plies or for mail alone, could be found
to the mining regions on the Yukon
between Forty Mile creek and Circle
City. The organization of the party and
the selection of officers to command it
have been left to the Judgment of Cen
eral Merriam. In case a practicable
route can be found, Instructions We're
given to so mark it, so it could be fol-
lowed hereafter The party is to take,
as far as practicable. such supplies as
may be found to be practicable, to re-
lieve any persons in distress that may
be encountered.
The natives oe the Copper River val
ley have been reported as aggressive,
and the officers in charge will be ex-
pected to use their efforts to concil-
late them. The party Will be instruct
ed to proceed as far as practicable to-
wards Circle City. and if deemed adj
visable, to communicate with the relief
expedition taking supplies to the Yu-
kon, and the two parties will cooper
ate in the work of exploration. The eX-
petition probably will make an entrance
by Port Valdes or Prince William
sound, unless it be found that some
other port is more advisable.
