THEIR FATE IS IN DOUBT.
FEARS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE
woLCoTT AND MERMAID.
Failure of Seattle TO Bring News of
Either Vessel Has Intensified
Anxiety Concerning Both - No

The return of the steamer City OF Sc
attic from Alaska with no news of the
steamer Wolcott and the bark Mermaid
has added to the uneasiness already felt
concerning those vessels. The agents
of either vessel did not receive mail ad-
vices concerning either II was believed
that the Seattle would have some news
of the Nolcott and possibly OF the Mer-
maid Her officers report that much
anxiety was felt at juneau about the
steamer.
The Wolcott has not been heard from
since December 2S. She sailed from Sc
attic on that day for Unalaska. by way
of sitka. Valdes and Cook inlet Capt.
Samuel Snow commanded the vessel He
had Instructions to connec. with the
Golden Gate. Of the same line bat this
he failed to do. for the reason that that
vessel encountered a hurricane and was
driven zoe miles out Of her course She
then came to Seattle. Some time iatel
the steamer Excelsior, another Pacific
Steam Whaling vessel sailed north IN
tending to connect with the Woicott at
Sitka or some other port 10 the west

overdue from the north. She is expected
to have definite news of the fate or

The Cottage city will arrive from Lynn
canal by way Of sitka next week. and
her officers will know II the Wolcott was
al Sitka when she sailed or had been
there after her departure from the Alas
kan capital for Dutch harbor and Una
laska.
The bark Mermaid is long overdue from
Unalaska. She is supposed to have sail
ed January a from that port for SEATTLE
This would make her thirty-six days
out and ordinarily she should be able
to sail TO this port in half the time, or
in twenty days under the most adverse
circumstances.
The Mermaid is owned and commanded
by Capt Frank NJ. White. formerly mas
ter of the Laurada. whose skeleton lies
on the shores OF St. George island.

GETTING UP RAILWAY SPEED.
Ingenious Grade Expedient i'll Use on
"a London Road.

y novel expedient is being tried to
shorten the running time OF trains on the.
Central London railway, the underground
electric line that was opened recently,
says the New York Tribune. This road
has twelve or thirteen stations and
length of six and a half miles The
track Of the Central London is not IaiG
altogether level. Just before reaching a
station it rises .66 feet to 100, and i'm
medIatcly after leaving it descends even
more rapidly for short distance. the
grade then being 3.3 per cent. The oh
Ject of this plan is to stop train more
quickly when it is arriving ami hasten
its departure when it moves onward
again.
1t has often been observed that trains
on the elevated road i'll this city waste
mere time in slowing down and getting
up speed than they spend with open
gates. y train may remain motionlesS
only Sin or eight seconds, but the loss Of
time from the other causes is two ~
three times as great. BY aCccleratinC
both Stoppage and start Il saving Of ten
seconds might be made. This repeate;
dozen times would make Il difference Of
two minutes in the total run. The adj
vantage secured by the expedient en-
plOyed in London is apart from and al
ditional to the use of electric motors,
which enable a train To develop full
speed sooner than steam does

FALSE TEETH.
What Becomes of the Myriads of
Them Made Every Year.

Them Made Every Year.
What becomes of the hundreds of
thousands CT artificial teeth made and
sold annually? Before attempting to an
swer the question it may be as well 10
consider how these artificial teeth are
made. When plates were discovered and
the expert dentist was able to supply q
whole mOuthful of new teeth the teeth
themselves were carved out of ivory. But
constant grinding would wear away the
ivory, and these elephant teeth We're not
satisfactory.
Today all artificial teeth are made of
porcelain, and will outlast a Methusaleh.
The porcelain material, which contains
various mineral proportions, is worked up
like sort of dough or plaster, forced
into molds and fused by intense heat in
furnace. Each tooth is covered with
enamel. and has one or more metal pins
in the back to hold it to the plate.
In large lots these teeth can be made
very cheaply, but there is one item of
expense that cannot be overcome. and
that is the cost of the metal holding pin.
The only metal which will stand the in
tense heat of the porcelain furnace is
platinum. and that costs at the rate of
cent pin simply for the raw material.
But as there are people who are not
satisfied with ready-made clothing. so
there are people who are not satisfied
with ready-made teeth. False teeth may
look just as well or better than real ones,
but public speakers, singers and other
prominent people want their own teeth
reproduced in all their peculiarities of
form and color, and filings, if they have
them.
In teeth that are made to order moth
ing is impossible, from the short, white
teeth of normal youth to the long, dis
colored ones of extreme age.
Il nd now for the answer to the dl1eS-
tion. What becomes of false teeth p
Sometimes they are lost, sometimes
stolen and sometimes left as a family
legacy. Generally. however, they are
buried with the owner and lie forever
hidden in the ground

will be mile in length, running around
the grounds of private park. The
gauge of the road is 3 feet inches, and
each car viii carry eight people. The
corporation which controls this miniatures
railway is also on a small scale. for the
officers are children. Frederick Blees, IL
years old, is president and motorman: Al

Roy Denslow, Is years of age, is secre-
tary; the treasurer is S-year-old Willie

The road operates in Mrs. Blees' park,
and is capitalized for $4,000, just as a
company of ''grown-ups" would be.
