Talking about curious experiences"
said a man who had spent his life along
the coast, IL had an experience some
years ago and it tried my nerve more
than any incident in my whole career.
II was a little above the east coast
Of Florida. There is a section Of water
there which is as clear as a mountain
brook. and at points where the water
is eight or ten feet deep the bottom
can be seen as plainly as if it were
only six inches down. 1t was one Of
those white sand bottoms, and this
made it even easier to see any object
at the bottom of the water. One after.

coast with a party Of friends. We had
been out fishing and having a good
time generally. Several Of them were
old-timers, regular ducks when 1t came
to the water. A severe wind struck US,
and in some way, we never knew ex-
actly, one Of our men was hit a violent
blow on the head, fell overheard and
went to the bottom. He remained on
the bottom with his face apparently
buried in the sand. We thought he
would come up again, and then we
would grab him and pull him out But
he remained there, and we began to
figure rather hurrledly on what to do.
Throw the gig into him. said one OF
the rOugher and older fellows This
made me shudder, but the old man
reasoned It out that Our friend was a

caught the skin in the side Of the neck.
The prongs Of the gig held and pulled
him to the surface. We dragged him
out Of the water and onto the boat, and
in a few hours he was all right SO?

COAL IN ALASKA.

Westward from Kenai, the greatest
and most extensive coal field in Alaska
is reached. cropping out in many differ
ent seams, in two harbors on the Pa
cific and one on Bering Sea. These
Chignik- -Unga- -Herendeen Bay coal
measures are the most extensive and
most accessible fields in Alaska, con-
tanning coal in quality next to Kyak,
standing in the front rank of North Pa
cifc Goals. The coal is hard, brilliant,
clean and very strong, not crumbling
under severe exposures to water, freeZ-
ing and sun. nor with very rough usage.
This field is of unique value because
of its location in the keystone of the
North Pacific Not only does the short
est possible steamer line from the
United States or British Columbia run
within twenty miles Of this field, but 1t
is also the nearest OF all American coal
mines to all the island possessions of
the United States on the Pacific, the
nearest point in fact Of the American
mainland to Hawaii. to Samoa, to
Guam and to the Philippines, and also
by nearly 2OOO miles nearer than the
Puget Sound mines or San Francisco
to all parts of Asia, and especially to
the great mining region recently devel-
oped on the shores of Berlng Sea- From
Portage Bay it is 14S2 miles shorter to
Manila, 1903 miles shorter TO Guam,
344 miles shorter to Honolulu, and
from Herenden Bay, 146O miles shorter
to Dutch Harbor, 1890 miles shorter to

A Narrow Escape.

Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans, al
though he has seen plenty Of sharp
fighting and been often under IRE,
once came nearer to losing his life
ON board his own ship and when not
engaged with the enemy than during
any battle in which he ever had part.
He tells the story in "A Sailors Log"
A little before the destruction of Ger
vera's feet he had gone below to his
cabin with Commander Kimball OF

dispatches. They were sitting at the
cabin table studying the situation,
when startled voice exclaimed,

crash. and l was aware that was
hurt and more or less daZed. My first
impression was that one Of the Span
ish gunboats had sneaked up on US and
put shell into my cabin. had been
thinking all the afternoon what fine
chance it would be for them that night.
But when l was really conscious / saw
that that was not the trouble.
''My cabin was full of men, all star
ing at me, their eyes fairly sticking
out of their heads They thought |

to see the last Of the old man. l was
soon aware that one Of the doctors was
feeling and twisting my right arm,
and that my right shoulder was in
pretty bad shape. Through it all 1
was sorry for Kimball, who, thought,
was surely killed, and was greatly
relieved when ] heard his voice, which
sounded a mile away.
THE accident was soon explained.
The men We're running in a steel haw-
ser, and II had picked up the steel
battle hatch, weighing something over
400 pounds, which was lying on deck
ready to be put ON the cabin hatch
when needed. The line had carried
it along until it came directly over
the hatch under which 1 was sitting,
when it slipped off, came down edge
first, and caught me on the shoulder
instead of the head.
'The man who called to me to look
out held on to it in his effort to stop
IT, and came down with it.
my shoulder was badly mashed and
dislocated. but the excellent medical
men soon wiped the blood of, reduced
the dislocation, bandaged my arm to
my side and turned me in.

farther forward 1 should never have

Many Different Languages in Use Among
the Islands.

the Islands.
Here are the languages they speak
In the Philippines: nocano, lgorote,
Pangasinan, Pampangan, Tagal, Bis
col, Bicol, Yisayan, while in the north
ern part Of Luzon there Is still another
tongue, and the Jolo tribes speak still
another, making ten languages for the
100000 people The dialects and
languages Of the ''non-Christian tribes"
as Governor Taft designates a large
proportion of this 100000, are be-
yond comprehension In answer TO a
question when he was before the
House committee on insular affairs a
few weeks ago, Governor Taft gave the
following idea of the linguistic qualities
of the inhabitants of the Philippine
archipelago:
Beginning at the north Of Luzon
there is a language in Cagayan and
lsabala that is different from any
other in the island On the west side
OF the northern end of the Island OF
Luzon is the Ilocano. In Bengeut they
speak an Igorote language, and also
Ilocano to some extent. Coming down
the map, there are the Pangasinanian
and the nocano. In Pangasinan both
are spoken. Pampangan is spoken in
Tarlac, in the southern part, and Pan.
gasinanian is spoken in the northern
part. In Bulacan, Cavlte. Batangas
and Tayabas Tagal is spoken, and in
the northern part of Ambos Camerines.
In Albay and Sorsogon and the south
ern part Of Ambos Camerines the BIZ
col is spoken. In Masbate, where the
three tribes meet, the Bicol, the Visa
yam and Tagal are all spoken. In Sa-
mar, Leyte Cebu, Bohol and NegrOs
Visayan is spoken, and also ROmblOn.
In Mindoro the Tagal is spoken. Where
the Visayan language is spoken they
have two dialects, the northern and
Cebuyan. The Jolo tribes speak a Ian
guage of their own"

sand Pillars.

Travellers in the celebrated Death
Valley of California have described
the wonderful contortions of the sand
pillars that small whirlwinds some
times send spinning across the hot
plain. Even more remarkable are the
dust devils" seen by II. f. Witherby,
the English explorer in the valley of
the White Nile. Sometimes two of
these whirling columns, gyrating in
opposite directions, meet, 'and if they
be well matched the collision stops
them and a struggle ensues as to which
way they shall twist. Gradually one
gains the mastery, and the two COM
bined begin TO gyrate alike and then
rush on together" Some of these
whirls will strip the clothes from an

wives by Purchase.

Wives are still obtained by purchase
in parts OF Russian Europe. In the
Russian district Of Kamyschin, on the
Volga, for example, this is practically
the only way in which marriages are
brought about. The price Of a pretty
girl from a well-to-do family ranges
from $50 to $1OO, and in special cases
much higher sum is obtained. In
the villages the lowest price is about
S2J. It is customary for the fathers
Of the intending bride and bridegroom

The Use For Funeral Flowers.

"The clause please omit flowers so
often seen in funeral notices, doesn't
mean such loss to us as you might
suppose" says a florist. 1T used to
be that ali the flowers received at a
funeral were sent to the cemetery and
placed upon the grave to wither. A
great many people object to this pro-
cedure as a sinful waste, and these are
the people who advertise. Please omit
flowers But the flowers are seldom
really omitted. Some people don't see
the announcement, or, if they do, they
don't heed it. The flowers come, just
the same. In such cases the blossoms
are usually given away after the
funeral services, to some hospital or
institution where they contribute to
the happiness of the living. "-Phila-

Naiural cave In Nrontnnn.

A remarkable natural cave has been
discovered in Montana, about fifty
miles east of Butte. A large river
with a cataract of about 100 feet was
explored for a distance of several miles
without discovering its source or out
let. A few articles of stone and cop
per .utensils and some human bones
were also discovered in one Of the
large apartments explored. There were
other evidences that at some time in
a prehistoric period the cave was used
as a habitation. The present entrance
to the cave was made by some lime
quarrymen at a point 1900 feet above
the bed of the Jefferson River while
engaged in blasting rock. The forma-
tion of stalactite and other natural
decorations throughout the cave are
pronounced the most beautiful and
varied ever seen.
