A NEW SLEEplNU-C W.
Is Called the "ordinary' and Cuts
the Price Just Halt.
The Only Difference between Them
and the "StandarI" In That the
New COaches Are upholstcred
in Cane Instead of Plush,

With the establishment of the "ordi-
nary" sleeping car by the Pullman COM
pany on the Baltimore L. Ohio railroad
mild revolution has doubtless been
started in night railway travel. If the
innovation proves as satisfactory asex-
pected the new sleeper will shortly ap-
pear on almost every railroad in the
United States. The Pullman company
is SO certain of the success of the "or-
binary" that 20 of the cars have already
been finished and 20 more are nearing
completion.
The Ordinary" is so called to distin-
guish it from sleepers used heretofore,
which will hereafter be known Us
standard" sleepers. The Ordinary"
simply cuts the rate of the STANDARD"
squarely in two. The ordinary" is IN
addition to the service of the railroad
and does not displace the Standard"
which will be continued and the same
rates charged upon it as in the past.
The same train that carries the "stand-
ard" will carry the Ordinary" The
Baltimore g. Ohio train from Chicago
to Pittsburgh will have standard, on
which the passenger will pay $3.50, and
an ordinary, on which the charge will
be but SIPS. In all cases the ordinary
rate will be half that of the standard,
excepting when the standard charge is
less than two dollars. The minimum
fare on the ordinary will be one dol
lar. The road has added eight of the
new coaches to its trains, running them
between Chicago and Pittsburgh and
between Baltimore and Newark, o.,
and providing for all night travel be-
tween these points.
The ordinary coach in all essential
points is just as comfortable in every
way as the standard, the only difference
being that it is not finished so lux
urously or extensively. 1t is the same
i'll length, breadth and height and on
the exterior the appearance is about
the same. The car is fitted with IL
berths, the same as the largest stand
ard cars, and each berth is fitted with
bedding of the same quality and, guam
tity as berth in q standard. The in
terror of the car is finished in birch
and the car seats are upholstered with
cane instead of the plush used in the
standard. There is no smolling-room
tor gentlemen, but rs in the standard
the ends of the coach are devoted to
the Mushrooms for ladies and gentle
men. The absence of the smoking
room and the presence of the rattan
upholstery strike the casual observer
as the only differences between the two
styles of sleepers. They nrc lighted
and heated just the same and have the
same porter service. There are some
accommodations in the ordinary which
the standard does not possess. Near
one end of the ordinary there is an ar
langemcnt connecting with the heat
CT for warming the luncheons OF those
who wish TO bring their own refresh
ments on the train. Near at hand is u
stationary stand for washing dishes.

There came to the islands during
the year 1920 persons (not including
naval or military forces), and there de-
parted 1913, leaving net gain of pop

VOLCANO CAUSES FLOODS.
in the Cnraboo Gold
Region.

A letter from Lac la Hoche, camp
in the Caraboo gold country, British
Columbia, says that flood, caused by
volcanic action in Lookout mountain,
which melted the snow, has caused
much damage. The miners are fleeing
to high ground, as the water continues
to rise.
The mountain was covered by snow
ten feet deep in places, when steam is
sued from its side, and the snow was
sent in streams of water into the val
ley, causing all the creeks to overflow
The letter adds: 1.-THE rumbling from
Lookout mountain increases hourly in
volume. Volcanic action, which un-
doubleday has already commenced, is
momentarily expected to become visi-
bic to the terror-stricken habitants of
the valley Thousands of dollars worth
of property and a number of lives are
said to be in danger"

HISTORY OF ALASKA.
Is a Compilation of Reports of Ex-
plorations of Army Officers.
Most Complete and Interesting
= History of the Physical Resources
of the TerritOry-Prepared
by the Government.

For the first time the, governmental has
compiled history of the great terri
tory of Alaska, bringing the explora-
tions made by army officers up to date
and including the elaborate description
of the physical resources of the ter
ritory. The compilation when pub
lished will make large octave volume
of about 500 printed pages. The ma
terial was supplied by the war depart
ment, under the direction of Assistant
State Secretary Meiklejohn, to the SEN
ate, which had charged the committee
on territories by resolution with OBJ
tanning all the data on the subject of
the military explorations of Alaska and
the lines of communication and ma
tives in the possession of the govern
ment. Senator Carter, the chairman
of the committee, presented the report
of the committee, which he states was
delayed in order to include the reports
of the military expeditions which were
sent out by the secretary of war last
year. In his report Senator Carter
says:
1.-THE compilation Of accurate data on the
material resources Of Alaska has become
public necessity. In view Of this fact
the secretary of war has placed before,
the people of the United States through
congress all the material on the subject
In his possession. This consists mainly Of
the several expeditions into Alaska under
the direction Of the military arm Of the
government beginning with that of Lieut..
Raymond in 1869 and including as we'll the
expeditions which were subsequently made
by Brig Gen. o. o. Howard in 1875 Lieut..
Frederick Schwatka in 1883, Lieuts. Ray
and Abercrombie in 1854. Lieut.. Henry T.
ALLEN in 1885 and the expeditions of Capt.
Ray and Lieut.. w. F. Richardson and
E. H. Wells in 1897, down to the more re-
cent and more important circumstances
made by Capts. Abercrombie and Glenn in
1898. The reports of these military ex-
plorations and "Reminiscences of military
explorers Of Alaska, II in number, have
for the first time been carefully revised
rearranged and collated by the war de-
partment in the form of narratives, some
thing unique and which has never before
been accomplished in a government work
The story of each member of the expedi-
lions is tersely told.
Your committee believe that the COM
pilation will prove to be the most CONF
prehensive that has thus far been under
taken by the government and will extern
sively add to our present knowledge of

On the morning that the mercury
wasplaying around the 80 degree mark
below zero Mr.. Allen Armstrong, of
Monterey, Va, went into his granary,
on the ground floor of which lay an or
binary iron wedge used for splitting
rail timber. He noticed mouse close
to the wedge, and upon investigating
more fully he found that the diminu-

with the wedge. The warm moisture

Prof. R. w. Wood, of the University
of Wisconsin, the originator of the cleo

tographing in natural color.
Prof. Wood reproduces the colors by

and though at present the production

can be printed from it as easily as ordi-

The pictures are on glass, and are
not only colorless, but almost invisible
when viewed in ordinary lights, but
when placed in viewing apparatus,
consisting of convex lens on light
frame, show the colors of nature with
great brilliancy. Prof. Wood the other
day said:
1.-THE finished picture is simply diffrac-
ton grating of variable spacing. In other
words, 1t is a transparent film of gelatine,
with very fine parallel and equidistant lines
on it, about 1000 to the inch on the average.

ANOTHER SOLDIERS, SOCIETY.
To BE Called "service Men of the
Spanish War'-To Include Men
Not In Actual Service.

Capt. Wilson I. Davenny, of Chicago,
commissary on the staff of Brig. Gen.
John H. Wiley, explained to repre-
sentative of the press the objects of the
new society, "the service men of the
Spanish war;" Capt. Davenny says the
idea is almost similar to that of the
Spanish-American Veteran association.
The Service association has been in ex-
istence since Last November, and the or
ganization has been incorporated I'M
der the laws of Kentucky and consti-
tuition formulated and adopted. Capt.
Davenny said:
'The parent camp, Camp Henry Clay

and state camps and a national camp.
to be constituted by representatives
elected annually in the local camps.
Camp Henry Clay is the supreme body
only until the first assemblage of the
representatives to the national encamp-
ment.
Though the charter list bears only
the names of officers, the constitution
of the organization provides that every
officer-army or navy-commissioned

war and the signing of the treaty of
peace at Paris, and every enlisted man
