NO FAVORS YET GRANTED
High Joint Commission and Canada'S
Request.
Senate Would Not Ratify Treaty Giving
Special Rights 10 Canadians Whole
Matter Is Indefinite.

Washington, February S.-Des-
pite reports to the contrary, no
conclusion has been reached by
the High Joint Commission for
giving Canada q seaport or right
of way on or from the Alaskan
sea coast to the Canadian Alaskan
border line. Numerous kilograms
have been sent here to the men,
bers of the Commission aud to
others citing reports that this
Government might agree to such a
step and protesting against any
such action.
The question whether the Sc.
nate would ratify treaty incor-
porating a provision for giving
over any portion of our territory,
save as involved in the straighten-
ing out of the boundary line, is
giving rise to no end of discussion.
What the outcome OF the whole
question may be cannot be out
lined for the reason that no final
settlement is yet in sight. The
news of the action of the British
Columbian Parliament 10 exclud-
ing aliens from unrestricted parti-
cipation in the new gold fields and
putting an effectusl embargo on
Americans coming over from
Alaska has created much interest,
but it is pointed out significantly
that this action might be intended
for it's effect on this side of the
border line, through a possible
repeal for some compromising
concession.

man may get a clean, well.cooked
meal at cheap rate, some form of
entertainment and where be can

savy How 1T worked,

A scientific demonstration which
caused some amusement is described in
a recent number Of The Criterion: IA
certain physician had large Toepler-
Holtz machine which gave a spark like
young streak Of lightning. His wife
was much interested in it and watched
the doctor manipulate it until she fan
cied herself master Of the apparatus.
One day a party Of friends called when
the doctor was out, and the good wife
seized the opportunity of paraiyzing
them with her knowledge of science.
s'She was very dignifed woman Of
portly presence, and, after leading them
into the Office, she began her explana-
tion with all the impressiveness of a
lecturer. She spoke briefly Of the pre-
liminary manipulation Of the machine.
.And then,' she said, laying her hand
upon one connection, the electricity
goes from here to here;' whereupon an
angry white spark leaped out from the
brass ball indicated with a report like
horse pistol and smote her upon the
extended finger, causing her to sit upon
the floor with violence that shook the
window panes.
"The guests stood around in expectant
attitudes, looking at their fallen hostess
in pardonable surprise. Only for a mo-
ment did that capable woman leave
them in doubt. 'Therel' said she, in
the most matter Of fact manner, as
though events had simply followed the
usual course. You see how it works.

Making d Dictionary.

Nearly every one has had the bright
idea that it must be tremendous

but few have any notion of the real
size of the task. When johnson got his
famous dictionary started, he calculated
that, with six assistants. be could COM
plete the task in three years. 8 1t took
him nine years instead. He received the
small recompense of 81, 500. and had to
pay his assistants out of that.
Webster worked "a years before his
dictionary made its bow to the world.
Webster was very punctilious in his
definitions, and so paiastaking that it
was wonder he completed the work
when he did
The words which give the compiler
of dictionary the most trouble are the
little one syllable Saxon words Their
history extends back into the Saxon
period. and their meaning has become
twisted in many directions Words With
pedigrees are the hardest to trace
When new dictionary il projected,
one man is selected as editor in chief,
and he appoints bis subeditors. Then
appeals are sent ont to literary people
in general for voluntary contributions
in the nature of rare and curious words.
There are over 1000 people who have
offered their services. in the case of a
dictionary now making They are to
read standard works, ancient and mod
ern, in the search for curious words,
their origin and meaning. These words,
written on slips of paper. are filed in
thousands of pigeonholes. Over six tons
of clips have been put away. This
means 100000 words, but only

Hogs and Black Snakes XIII the Ven-

Hogs ana Black Snakes XIII the Ven-
omous Reptiles With Impunity.
The two greatest enemies of the rat
tlesnake are the black snake and the
hog. The rattlesnake is slow and slug
gish in movement, while the black snake
is intensely rapid. The latter will cir
Gle around his foe and with a sudden
dart grasp the venomous reptile by the
neck, so that it has no chance to use
its poisonous fangs, and quickly squeeze
it to death. A hog, especially if fat,
suffers no danger from the rattlesnake.
He will march boldly up to the coiled
reptile, allow himself to be struck in
his jowls once, twice or three times, as
the case may be, and will then calmly
proceed to swallow the reptile without
concern. The reason for the hogs inn
munity is due to the fact that the blood
vessels are so minute and infrequent on
his cheeks, where fat is predominant,
that they fail to take up the poison and
carry it through the porcine system.
Hogs have been used in droyes to clear

By remembering two simple facts any

reptile invariably possesses triangular

his tail is correspondingly blunt and

dealer in precious stones to the writer

hardness by holding it against a rapidly

pears upon the diamond, it is not real

from any mark being produced upon it,
it would be likely on the other hand,
to make a deep impression on the
grindstone The same test may also be
made with emery paper or on an emery
wheel, neither of which, although hard
er than grindstone, will make any i'm

"This is a good thing for one to re-
member in these days Of manufactured
diamonds. The paste article is now
made with such care that it sometimes
tests the skill Of the expert to distin-
guish the genuine from the bogus, but
If the grindstone is brought into play
there can be no room for doubt. Some
