TO conduct 1t as an independent depart

necessary the appointment OF Board

number of them residing outside of
Denver. Bishop Warren is president: /:

ALASKA BOUNDARY
COMMISSION

London. Sept. 5.-The Alaskan bonn
dary commissioners held their first
meeting Thursday In the conference
room of the foreign Office.
Prior to the formal assembling the
commissioners selected Reginald T.
Tower of the British diplomatic SER
vice. formerly attached to the legation
at Washington. and recently minister
to Siam. TO be secretary of the COM
mission. J. Il. Carter. second secretary
OF the United States embassy. and MIR.
Pope. a representative of the Canadian
government, were appointed assistan,
secretaries. Lord Chief Justice Aver
stone was subsequently, chosen chair
man OF the commission.
II was announced that oral argu.
ments would commence September 18th
and Lord Alverstone expressed the
hope that they would be finished by Oc-
tober 9th.
The documents covering the Ameri-
can presentation of the case are COM
prised in three volumes. making total
of about 100 pages. In addition there
largest Of the volumes of text contains
the original statement by the American
commissioners, while one of the small
er volumes presents the American
counter case in rejoinder to the British
case and the other arguments of the
American commissioners.
The United States contends that It
was the intention OF the powers which
signed the treaty of 1925 to confirm in
full sovereignty to Russia a continuous
strip or l!siere along the continental
shores of the northwest coast of
America. extending from Portland ca
nal to the 141st meridian of longitude
west of Greenwich, and that such strip
was to be ten marine leagues. measured
from the heads of all gulfs and other
arms of the sea. unless there was with
in that distance a range of mountains.
The contention is further made that
there is no ouch mountain range. 1t is
also urged that the United States has
occupied this strip of territory ever
since its acquisition from Russia, and
that Russia had controlled it since the
treaty of 1925, until ceded to the Unit
ed States in 1867.

State Treasurer Newton on Sept.
fth transmitted to Governor Peabody
his financial report for the seml-an-
nunl biennial period. ending August II.
II shows that up to September LIST the
different state departments had prac-

OF their getting. owing TO the dcnc!t In

The board OF health. the humane

a wire that comes out each side and
bends upward, and on both Of these
bent up ends put very light figure Of
a clown or jack. Now put the wood

ways, little below the center of the
diameter of the half circles, front and
back, and fasten by driving a small
tack through the cardboard and into
each end. When you rock the box,
first one and then the other figure will
come up. Lids may be put on the top
of the box, as shown in the picture, so
that when the figure is down the lid
will close. If you want to, you can
make the front and back Of the box
rectangles instead of half circles, so it
will be steady instead of rocking. Then
make the weight at the end Of the
wire sWingers.

Spelling "Chop Suey."

There are about as many ways of
spelling "chop suey" as there are ways
of preparing it, and scarcely half a
dozen Chinese restaurants can be found
in Chicago where the name of the dish
is not misspelled, and yet none is alb
solutely Incorrect, On South State
street one sign reads "Chop Shuey."
On West Madison street is another
which reads "Chop Sooy." On Clark
street, where there is a nest of Chinese
restaurants, the name is spelled in
many ways.
An educated Chinaman, speaking of
this spelling or misspelling the other
day, said:
''All the ways are right, and all are
wrong. 1t is only guess at best. 1t
would be impossible to spell the name
rightly in English The nearest ap-
proach to the correct spelling would be
'scholcop slouey.' This could not be
pronounced by an American, so we
have come to use chop suey' as the
proper way of painting our signs. Yet
the other ways are not incorrect."-

Water Going UD Hill.

Into glass dish pour water until it
is about an inch in depth. Now, If you
stand a glass tumbler In the dish, up
side down, the water will rise in 1t al
most as high as it is in the dish. 1t
will not rise quite so high, because
there is air in the tumbler, and that
will prevent it.
But there is a simple way to make 1t
rise higher in the tumbler than it Is in
the dish. Get fiat cork and put it in
the water; it will float, of course. Now
light wad of paper, lay it on the cork
and place the tumbler over 1t. AS the
paper burns the water will rise in the
glass and will not fall again, If you
leave the glass as 1t is.
The reason is that the burning of the
paper eXhausts some Of the air in the
glass, making partial vacuum, or
empty space, and as the air pressure
on the surface of the water in the dish
is greater than the pressure on the in
side of the glass the water is forced up.

New Plan to Down Union.

1t is reported from Pottsvile that the
anthracite coal mining companies have
formed a new plan for crushing the
United Mine Workers organization,
and methods for fighting the corpora
tions along different line from that
heretofore pursued may be discussed at
the miners convention next week.
President Baers idea is to keep the
miners steadily at work during the dull
summer months and store hard coal in
enormous quantities. Over 10000, 900
tons are to be accumulated, and this
supply is not to be touched when the fall
trade sets in, but will be allowed to re-
main as a reserve source In case of
strikes.
The companies will then be able to
supply the public with coal for months
wheneAer the miners suspend work and
will not be caught short-handed as they
were last year
One-half the entire amount, or 1000
600 tons, will be stored by the Reading
Company, and work has already begun
to enlarge their storage yards In Schuy-
kill county
AS a counteracting move the miners
may decide to suspend work two days
each week to prevent the stocking of
any surplus coal.
