DAILY FREsHETs.
Regularity of Rising and Falling st
the Rivers and sxenms In
. Alaska.

To most people who live in the tenn
perate zones, the annual freshets oe-
casioned by the melting of the winter
SHOWS and by the unusually heavy rains
of spring are matter of familiar OBJ
servation. Under higher latitudeand
in the neighborhod of glaciers, other
phenomena are to be studied. An Eng
llsh traveller in Alaska has the follow.
ing to report about the rivers of tha,
country. says Youths Companions:
The. Takheena, like most streams of
glacial origin, was subject to daily
rise and fan. TIE distance of its
sources caused the water to increase
in volume and in swiftness from noon
to midnight, after which il continued
to decrease from midnight TO noon.
The daily rise measured from six to
ten inches, according to the heat Of
the weather; the daily fall measured
from FIVE 20 eight inches during the
time the fine weather lasted.
After few days of cloudy, rainy
weather, found the river falling from
day to day about as fast as it had risen
during the fine weather.
II is worthy Of remark that during
fine weather l invariably found the
wind during the daytime in the Chilcat
valley blowing up from the sea, 1t
began in the forenoon with gentle
breeze, which gradually increased TO
a smart gale, that died quite away by
sunset. During the night there was
either no wind, or else II blew in the
contrary direction. This regular move
ment Of the atmosphere no doubt has
much to do with producing the regular
daily rise and fail of the river.

A HIGH PRICED PIANO
one That Was Made for Famous
belgian Artist at Cost
of $4,000.

A wonderful piano has been made by
IAN Van Beers, the Belgian artist,
whose portraits OF beautiful women are
famous. she painter owns one OF tae
most remarkable houses in farls and
has given years to the study OF interior
decoration, says the New York Ccn-
mercial Advertiser. He admits that
the exquisite instrument which he Is
going 10 exhibit at the exposition next
summer is probably the most beauti-
full piano Of ancient or modern times.
OF course, only the shell or case is his
work: whose make the Instrument
shall be will be determined by the rur-
chaser. The body OF the piano is OF
natural wood, tinted green; the legs,
glrlands, Cupids and all the ornamental
tions are Of bronze, gilded and chiseled
by the ablest sculptor of Louis Quinze
brouzes in Paris. The fine sketches
which appear on the sides and on the
front OF the piano are paintings by the
artist himself and represent the four
seasons. and minust danced in the
park in the days of Louis Nv, all after
the manner OF vatican.
The designer has tried as far as pos
sible to convert those parts of the piano
which are ordinarily ungraceful and
awkward into something decorative
| and harmonious. The pedals, which
generally represent Tyre, are replaced
by the owners Initials. One bronze

his violoncello as support for the cover

upon spring, is lighted by two delicate
electric flowers, and the musician is

To get correct idea Of the French
nation one must abandon Paris ard get

Paris is sinkhole of rottenness, but the
people who dwell outside that modern

patriotic, living wholesome and useful
lives. When you get out in the rural

kill county corral. The company gave
notice to 2.j0O men and boys employed at
the operations previous to the strike that
unless they returned to work by Satur-
day the collicrics would he abandoned for
a lengthy period. The strikers claim tho
order was given out with the view +
soaring them into the mines before the
termination of the strike. They say they
will remain idle regardless of the order.
At North Franklin collicry. near Ire.

took out their tools owing to a carload Of
deputies arriving from Schuylkill county
early yesterday morning. The strike lead
ers claim the mine will be tied up. and
in such an event the mine workers ale
confident Locust Spring colliery will alsc
cease work. Then all the mines between

ing employment to $1,000 men and boys,

WAGE SCALE SIGNED.
rr<n nnd Steel Mills to Resume Op.
crntions.

CINCINNATI, Sept. 24.-The confer
encc committees of the Amalgamatcd As
sociation of Iron and Steel Workers and
of the manufacturers after an all night
conference signed the wage scale that
will be effective until July, 1901.
1t is what is known as the yearly
scale. which takes effect usually in July
Owing to the unusual fluctuations of tht
market the new scale had not been
signed when the mills shut down June
80. and the conditions have been unfa.
vorablc ever since June. 50 that the mills
have been idle for almost three months
As soon as the scale was signed mes.
sageS were sent in every direction be-
fore the confcrccs hreakfastcd. Some
mills started this morning, and all 9th.
or~ will resume as soon aS possible. This
decision means employment to over CO..
GOO workmcn who have been idle since
June.
The reasons for the delay in adjusting
the wage scale as well as for the fire.
qucnt prolonged conferences are found
i'm the slump in the market and the fluc
tuations during the past year from the
highest to the lowest price. The work
crs wanted 81 per ton. based on ! 40
card rate. The manufacturers offered
81 80 per ton on | cent card rate fol
boiling and the differences were in about
the same proportion in other lines.
