The Coming Fuel.

Petroleum The FucI Ot The FutUrc ' 1A
 Lignite Is Not Coal Wood Is
 Becoming Scarce.
 An industry that will give the mineral portion of Alaska's $ produc hard run will be opened up this su1llmer. It Is Ill the nature of petroleum or mineral oil. From Dawso, to the mouth of the river oil stains can be noticed i'll a great num- Der of places, and from Rampant to near lv one hundred miles below Panama is a field where the seepage is particularly profuse
 There is no doubt that within few years oil will be the principal fuel used on the river; in fact a number of the up- per river fleet have been equipped with oil-burning furnaces the past winter.
 The wood along the Yukon easy of ac cess has all been cut out and 1t Is now necessary to haul the greater portion of the wood consumed each year from great distances to the river bank.
 The coal SO far discovered near enough to tle Yukon to be available for fuel Is practically worthless, not being a true coal at all, but a species of a very poor grade of Ignite. Therefore, the only available fuel is petroleum. which is i'll greater abundance than either wood or coal and vastly less expensive.
 Prospectors from the Porcupne cou,,- try report that i'll places the moss is so thoroughly inipregnatvd with asphaltum as to have become sort of peat which burns very readily aud with an intense heat.
 Wherever asphalt is found there can also b, found petroleum. The prospect ors have heretofore given their whole and entire time to placers, overlooking the sources of wealth that will make tll:s country permanent field of indus try.
 With petroleum wells and quartz mines tl1c country will become more stable and it will not be so largely speculative qu~tiou as to the future as 1t is at pres ent.
 No country, or section of country, that depends wholly upon the results of placer operations can be assured of pertlanent prosperity; but with opening up the steady and inex1laustab1e sources of " ,a1t1t as ahOve stated all Snec,11 ati0n

.AINSkI < (l &s!u, NU -. lJO!. GREAT TRIP OVER THE ICE. The Dawson Daily News, under the above caption, contains the fol- lowing:
 "A trip of 500 miles down the Yukon and return has just been completed by B. $. Downing, the intrepid mail contractor of the Daw- son Panama route. The trip is ex- traordinary, even i'll this country of long winter journeys by ice. It is 500 miles one way to the Panama, but he increased Lis mileage by coming back eighty mics in ore re. lay and then retracing his steps oil the journey lrOper tC the Tanana. [
 The fact of this matter is that Downing never was within I5o miles of Panama. He came as far as Ft. Ham.in and for so1ne reason known only to himself returned post haste for up river
 This would cut off 300 miles from his count to the gullib,e re porter of the News and, instead of being anything extraordinary, Is quite commonplace trip, which has been made by a number of Ramparters tl,is winter and last. Mail Carriers Oldheld aud Cur rier have each over 1000 miles of travelling to their credit so far this winter and we have not heard eith- CT of these gentlemen boast of their 'intrepidity' or the necessity Of going into Mysteries over 1t.

TREES PLANTED BY BLUE-IAYS.

An old-time Arizona wood chopper
says the bluejays have planted thous-
ands of the trees now growing all over
Arizona. He says these birds have
habit of burying small seed in the
ground with their beaks, and that they
frequent pinon trees and bury large
numbers of the small pine nuts in the
ground, many of which sprout and grow.
He was walking through the pines with
an Eastern gentleman, short time ago,
when one of these birds flew from tree
to the ground, stuck his bill in the earth
and quickly flew away. When told
what had happened the Eastern man
was skeptical, but the two went to the
spot and with knife blade dug out a
sound pine nut from depth of about an
inch and a half. Thus it will be seen
that nature has plans of her own for
forest perpetuation. indianapolis News.

the time the apple was as big as hazel
nut to the time it was three-fourths of
an inch in diameter, and seemingly the
last spraying gave the best results. On
this last occasion the spraying solution
had been in the barrel two days. 1t
may be that it improves after standing
a few days. I intend to make some ex-
periments along that line next season.
In spraying any kind of fruit trees ex-
cept apple trees, always reduce the
amount of Paris green one-half.

prefer letting it stand an hour. Then
put it in your tank or barrel. Paris
green being a heavy mineral, and not
very soluble, it soon sinks to the bottom
and therefore it must be stirred constant
ly. Don't use pump with return
pipe for stirring, but use one with re-
volving paddle, or stir by hand. At any
rate, do not let the arsenic accumulate
in your tank or barrel, for as sure as it
becomes too strong your trees will suf-
fer.
"The application of the spray must be
in fine mist and should reach every
bud on the tree. Wet the tree down
thoroughly. believe I killed millions
of insects, injecting the bark on the
trunk on my trees, by spraying the
trunks. Nearly all the insects that in
fest trees are parasites deriving their
living from the sap life, fruit or leaves
of the tree. All the insects that bite the
leaves or fruit can be killed by the use
of Paris green. Last seasons expert
ment seems to demonstrate that Paris
green also destroys the scab, although
the authorities generally give little
credit to arsenic as destroyer Of fungi.

was complete, and, in addition to this,
there was no 'scab' and very little bitter
rot. I had comparatively no trouble
from the codling moth. My net injury
to the orchard was the scalding of the
leaves on a few trees, which, however,
retained their fruit, and enough leaves
to remain vigorous.
"The difference in quantity and quail
ity of fruit from sprayed and unsprayed
trees is almost past belief. One section
of tree of the willow twig variety in
my orchard last season was not sprayed
and produced about one-half as many
apples as the sprayed section of the
same tree. The apples from the un-
sprayed part of the tree were badly
scabbed and knotty from worm bites,
and wholly unsalable-a failure, in fact.
The sprayed section produced beautiful
red apples, eighty-five per cent of which
brought the highest market prices.
How to Spray Properly.
"The application of the spray is a
very important point, and right here is
where large per cent of farmers fail.
First, will surprise great many farm
ers by saying that much of the so-called
Paris green contains no arsenic, and is,
therefore, of no account. My remedy
is to buy only of a druggist, who will
provide me with a guarantee. Don't
trust this important work of spraying
to ignorant, careless persons, or you will
not only fail Of your object, but valua-

RENOVATED POTATOES.
How old Ones Arc ,Iade to Look Like TuberS Just From the Ground.

Tubers dust From the Ground.
 It is in California where potatoes are new anywhere from April to July, that tlis industry is possible and flourshes. The manufacturing gardener is an en. terprislng genius of foreign extraction, generally Portuguese, Italian or China. man, and he makes the most of his op portunities- By his private process of two months advance on the market in many places and thereby rcaps a profit many times above what the le- gitimate natural product would bring him. The extent of this business must be somewhat gigantic. for I have seen these new made potatoes in all the and Salt Lake City to Cape Nome. The commission merchants and wholesale dealers must certainly know of and abet the fraud or the gardener could not market his wares. The average re- tail merchant is not aware of the de ception to my personal knowledge and deals out to his customers in all iMno. cence the fraudulent new potato.
 TEe method of their manufacture is unique, and it is done as follows: Late in the season. after other crops are out of the way. the gardener plants a crop of late and good keeping potatoes. The time has been chosen from experience and is opportune for q yield of small potatoes before the frosts of winter come down upon the gardeners truck patch. These potatoes are dug and buried in heaps in the open field anG left until spring opens and the new potato season arrives. At the proper time the heaps are opened and the po- tatoes sorted according to sizes. In the meantime q large kettle or vat is set IT. the field adjacent to the potato heaps and made ready by filling with water and adding sufficient I've to effectually curl the skin of the potato when dipped into the boiling solution. A crane and metal basket are rigged so that the dipping can be done eXpeditiously, and the way th"t new potatoes are turned out is astonishing. The effect of dip ping 3;fH potato. no matter how old, into this boiling I've solution is to crack and curl the skin. and at the same time 1t hardens or makes the potato much firmcr, so that its resemblance to q new potato is so near that it would be hard to pick oCt the ilaroStOr from appear ances alone from q basket of the gent inc article. After dipping the potatoes are rilSpd i9 another vat and spread out to dry in the sun and cure into per feet new potatoes and the work is complete.
 TEe only way that you can tell the fraudulent new potato is to cut one open and notice it's appearance careful ly from circumference to center For q short distance in from the skin of the made potato you will, if you look closely, see a yellowish white line of semicooked aud watery appearance, If this test is not conclusive, put one or two into some cold water and let them come 10 q boil, and you will notice a faint I've odor. and the water that GOV CTS them will have q slippery, alkaline feel that any housewife cannot mis Science Monthly.
