DEWEY'S NEXT WORK.
VIII Be Placed at Washington on
Board Of Naval Construction.

New York. July ga special to the
Herald from Washington says:
There is much gossip in naval circles
respecting the duty to which Admiral
Dewey will be assigned upon his arrival
in this country.
Secretary Long positively declares
that the post has not yet been selected
and that a decision will be made only
when he has had opportunity to con-
suit with Admiral Dewey and has learn
ed his wishes. There is apparently no
doubt, however. that the admiral will
be stationed in Washington at the head
of a strong board, possibly the board of
inspection and survey, whose duties
will be enlarged 50 as to take in ques-
tions of policy relating to ship construc-
ton. Should a board of admiraIs be
the result of the reorganization of the
mechanical bureaus of the department
as proposed by those who favor such
a solution next to the retention of the
present system, in case the secretary
is determined to modify it, then there
is little doubt that the admiral will be
made the head Of the board.

ordnance, with instructions to appoint
a board to conduct a test at Fort Myer
to determine the value of the new
shield.
Squads of troops will fire several
rounds of smokeless powder, while
members of the board will view the
firing from distances of 300 to 1000
yards. In this way the board will be
able to determine just how effective the
violet screen will be to soldiers in bat
tie and al what distance the flash and
vapor of snolNeless powder, can be seen
with the screen when invisible to the
naked eye. Meanwhile the experiments
with the violet-colored glass have led
the department to refer it to Gen.
Greedy, with recommendation that 100
of the violet goggles be purchased for
experiment. These are now in course
of manufacture, and when completed
will be sent to the various army posts.
where they win be tested at the target
ranges. Should the tests with the
Maryland inventors. shield prove sue
cessfull, however, it is probable an or
der for the manufacture Of several
thousand will be given by the war de-
partment and that they will be sent to
the troops in the Philippines.

ANVIL CITY
Is the New Alaskan Mining Town Not
Yet on the Map.

Washington, July 26.-The coast and ge-
odetic survey has received a report from
G. r. Putnam, who is out with q party
at St. Michael. regarding the recently
opened gold fields around Cape Nome. Mr..
Putnam says he cannot VOuch for the &C
curacy of the floating reports from Cape
Nome. It is certain that new fields have
been opened from five to thirty miles
back from the coast between Cape Nome
and Cape Rodney. There are about 2.00G
miners in this section. with their princi-
pal settlement at Anvil City, new town
not yet on any maps except those Of the
trans pOration companies One OF the re-
ports speaks of $40 900 having been taken
out of an area 80 feet square within
foot of the moss roots. This. however.
is not vouched for by. Mr.. Putnam.
Nothing definite is known of the recent
Canadian threat to cripple the American
coast trade by running a railway from
Kitimatarm to Dawson City. There is
no place called Kitimatarm on the Ameri-
can maps, and it is said to be certain that
there is no tideWateI point anywhere on
the coast whence the Canadian goNe-n-
ment could get inland with such a line
without crossing American territory, un-
less they come so far down the coast as
to make the undertaking impractica Bile
from both a commercial and an engineer
ing point.

REFORMs FOR sIRERIA.
Report of Adjustment of Penal
Colony Confirmed

Colony Confirm ed.
Washington, July 26-The department
OF state has received official confrma-
ton of the report that Siberia win no
longer be a penal colony. Through
diplomatic channels a statement of the
Russian government and the order OF
the emperor have been received. They
sustain in a convincing manner the in
formation which former Ambassador
Hitchcock has given Of the liberal and
wise tendencies of the present Russian
policy. The official statement is given
herewith in full:
ton of the transportation and penal
servitude of criminals, has taken the
following facts into conS1dera ton:
1.-The transportation of criminals to
Siberia, established in the seventeenth
century, assisted to populate this vast
and wealthy region, which was in need
of workmen for constructing roads
fOrtresSes and cultivating government
lands. Later on, penal SerVitude was
introduced: but when Siberia began to
be more populated by emigrants, who
earned their living by honest labor
the sending of criminals to that country
became perniciOus to the emigrants.
With the development of the ways of
communication and industries of Siberia
the country has lost something of its
penal character The frequent escapes
of the criminals from the localities of
transportation to the interior govern
ments create vagrancy and increase a
class of people dangerous to the resi-
dents.
The question of transportation of
criminals and penal servitude was an
object of great anxiety to the EN-
perors Alexander II and Alexander
Ill, and, therefore, the present en-
peror, Nicolas II, has issued the fol-
lowing order:
Il A commission of the officers of
the ministry of Justice and represen-
tatives Of the respective departments
under the auspices of the minister of
justice shall be formed.
q. The commission as to work out
the following:
L To replace transportation of
criminals by punishments by courts.
- To abolish or limit administra-
tive transportation by peasant boards.
g. To reorganize penal servitude
and the deportation which follows.
a. To better the condition of the
cOnvicts now in Siberia.
s. To improve prisons where Grim
inals are confined awaiting transporta-
ton and deportation.
&c. To establish compulsory public
labor and warehouses as penal meas
ures.
u. To provide means for carrying
out the measures necessary for the or
ganization of the transportation of
criminals and of penal establishments.
s. The minister of justice is to ask
direct, and not through any depart
ment for the imperial sanction of the
committees recommendations.

BALD BY NATURAL GAS.
Men and Women Living in the Indi-
ana Belt Losing Their Hair.

Anderson. Ind. July 26.-Men of the
Indiana. gas belt are becoming bald.
Physicians who have been inVestigat-
ing find that a new form of hair. sour
wy is sweeping the entire section. At
first it was thought it was a disease of
the scalp which had become locally cpl
denic, but Investigations made in the
last ten days and covering the entire
territory lead to the belief that it is
due to the action of natural gas vapOr,
now passing through a noticeable evo-
luton.
The investigation has reached over
the principal cities and it is claimed
that fully 80 per cent of the young men
of the section are becoming bald Hair
dressers claim it is also beginning to
is a rush for hair tonics and restOra-
tives. For the past year "toupee" men
have been doing a good business with
the men. 1t is found that as a general
thing the men are losing their forelOckS
first and from that it runs back. This is
accounted for on the ground that as a
general thing men tilt their hats on the
back part of their heads and expose
the front hair to the action of the va
pOr. This idea is strengthened by find
ing that as a general thing men who
habitually remove their hats when in
their offices are first being effected on
the crown of the head instead of in
front There has been a very noticea-
BILE change in the burning of the natur-
al gas At first it was free from smoke
and was perfectly dry. Stoves were
not even needed, as there was no discol-
oring of paper from the burning of the
gas from the pipe. Within the last year,
however, it has given off noticeable
smoke and an oil vapOr which can be
found accumulated and conferred in
great drops on most bells hanging over
lights It is claimed that this SCOT and
haIf-buFnt crude oil do the work.

The Most He.IthfuI Regions.

Dr. Alfred Russell Wallace says in the London Chronicle that tropical re- gions. as whole. are more conducive to health than the temperate regions. He attributes his own long continued good health (and he is now 75) to 12 years residence in the tropics when he was young man and threatened with lung disease. The pure. warm air re- stored him to a permanently sound con dition. He says European soldiers in India have better health than the sed- entary native classes British soldiers in the Sudan stand up to the work; thousands of Australian gold miners endure intense heat, and Hollanders have flourished for generations in the Dutch colonies
 He believes the region on each side of the equator for thousand miles to be ''the most healthy and the most en- joyable abode for man. where, with the least labor. he can obtain the greatest amount of necessaries, the comforts and the luxuries of life. and can at the same time develop and cultivate his higher nature. But work, he adds. is neces sary to health there as elsewhere.
