AN ARRIVAL TALKS
 ABOUT FAIRBANKS
Shortage in Ham and Bacon,
 Kerosene and Candles.

John F. Stevenson arrived in Rampant from Fairbanks last Sat urday and will make his home here. A good many broke men are ill Fairbanks, MT. Stevenson says, and considerable amount of pilfering is going on. He thinks there will be no difficulty for those who have the money 10 get supplies, except in few lines which are short. Ham and bacon at B cents pound, sugar at 25 cents pound, candles at Si5.5o box, and kerosene at SIP a case, are all scarce. Kero- sene had been as high as S24. 50 earlier in the season, but slight increase in the stock caused a slump in prices. Flour. at So and SIP per 100 pounds for soft and hard wheat respectively, is plentiful.
 NIT. Stevenson says currency is the principal circulating medium, golddust being rarely offered in settlement of an account. Games are running in the principal houses. but are not very flush.

After a three-weeks stay on the creeks, ill which my time was oc- cupied i'll the construction of cabin, l was informed on my arri- val in town of my having located a rich pay streak on Skookum gulch. In regard to this matter 1 have this to say: I personally did not find pay on Skookum, and if the find made there by Hebb, Gaetz and their partner should prove extensive enough to justify me ill taking out dump the credit of the discovery remains with them alone.
 But, as all people ill mining camp are more or less interested ill the development of their particular district, it might be well to say few words concerning this section, namely: the different bars along the line of the What Cheer Bar ditch, known as What Cheer, Doric, Boothby, Seattle IT,, and Joe Bush; but which in reality, ii cla assified under one head, are the benches of Pioneer creek. The activity shown by the miners and their persistent efforts to locate pay on the benches in this locality is step in the right direction and is bound to meet with success. and evidence of this is not wanting, for within the past four months no less than five new cab ins have gone up along the line of the What Cheer Bar ditch--(this ditch. by the way, is an achieve meut of no mean consideration - and at least three different and dis 'tiuct pay streaks have been located in the same length of time.

 MT. Maloney and Henry Miller were prospecting together, and had packed over part of their outfit to Wolverine creek. Beyond their camp on Wolverine was a tent, and beyond this tent is Mike Sullivan's cabin on Fish creek. A days journey up the creek from Mikes place, which is vacant, is cabin built by Miller and Maloney earlier in the season. To this latter cabin the prospectors intended to move their winters outfit When they had conveyed their belongings as far as the tent, Miller proposed to go to Thanksgiving and get stove and other things, while Maloney moved some of the stuff from the tent to the Sullivan cabin; but Maloney told Miller that the stove and other things at Thanksgiving were too heavy for one man, and proposed after taking load to the Sullivan cabin to follow Miller and help him back with the load from Thanksgiving. Miller said, All right-just as you like; but I can make 1t alone" and they separated. Miller got his load from Thanks giving, and as Maloney did no: ap- pear he concluded the latter had changed his mind aud would be found at the ten. ,.
 When Miller arrived back at the tent, however, he was surprised and not a little alarmed to find everything just as he had left it, with no igns of Maloney. Think ing possibly the missing man might be at the upper cabin on Fish creek, Miller set out for that place, but got lost himself, and after travelling all day returned to the tent. When he reached the tent this time all apprehensions regarding Maloney's safety were removed, for he found unmistak evidence of his pres ence there alter Miller's latest de. parture. Miller then went to the Sullivan cabin, but saw nothing of Maloney; and at the upper cabin he was likewise conspicuously absent As he busied himself with putting the place in order ior the winter. the conviction gradually forced it. self on Henry that Pat had given him "the dirty shake;" but after a week more he thought he would come tn aud investigate

Great Thing. Promised.

At present the phenomena of physics
are, as it were, divided into two
camps: acoustics and heat, which
are explained from the laws of me-
chanics; and electricity, with its sub.
division, light, which has not been
satisfactorily thus explained. For hall
century we have tried to explain
electricity mechanically, and may be
said to have failed; let us now try to
explain mechanics electrically, and see
where that will lead us.
Perhaps it is mere matter of word.
whether we say that all matter is
electrically charged or that all matter
is modified conclusions if, in explain.
ing phenomena, the laws of electricity
should be taken as the premiss from
which we start, instead of, as hitherto,
the inertia of matter. And, inasmuch
as the more nearly any explanation
approaches the truth, the better. does
it, point the way to fresh knowledge,
the fact that so radical change may
be about to take place is one of the
reasons why there is feeling Of ex.
pectancy in the air. 1t is hoped that
light may be thrown upon universal
gravitation and other obscure prob.
lens, and it is suspected that science
is trembling on the verge of something
great.-NineteeEth Century.

Ans.-The usual treatment for mea
dows infested with moss is to give
them top dressing of lime, and it is
probable that this does some good, but
1T is sometimes not very effective. !
do not think that there is any good
method Of freeing land OF such thicl,
growth of moss as you describe, ex.
cept by blowing it up and giving it a
heavy dressing of stable manure. The
presence of the moss indicates that
this treatment is necessary. If the
land requires drainage, the question
must be considered whether it is
worth that extra expenditure. Where
little moss occurs in a field in
tufts, these may be sometimes got rid
of by sowing in the hummocks, which
opened up by frost in the spring, "a
good handful of orchard grass and
white clover. OF course any other
grass suitable to the locality would
do, but it would be we'll always to in,
clude the white clover.-J. F.

Fires from Electric Wires.

Fires from Electric Wires.
1t was claimed at one time that the
substitution of electricity for gas and
petroleum in lighting would result in
lessening of the danger from fire.
But a recent report issued by the
Montreal Fire and Light Committee
tends to show that the danger has
been increased rather than diminish
ed by the change. The report gives
record of $50 fires due to electric
currents during the last three months
OF 1908, with an aggregate loss of
Sl,5OO,000. When classed according to
causes, the list shows that twenty-five
fires were due to the contact of tele-
phone. telegraph and other low poten-
tial wires with electric lights and
other high tension circuits. Wires
grounded on gas pipes were respon-
sible for nineteen fires. Eleven fires
were due to the defective wiring of
gas fixtures, five to the puncturing of
gas pipes by the currents on flexible
cords wrapped around them, three
to short circuits in holdings, three
to open link fuses in porcelain cut out
bases, fifteen to. overheated resist.
ance coils and heating devices, and
nine to incandescent lamps coming in
cantact with inflammable material.
In the same report 1876 fires are re.
corded in which electricity was sus.
pected Of being the cause, but in
which all material evidences of origiy
we're destroyed.-Toronto Globe.

,collapsible Hat hoy

What to- do with his silk hat is a
problem which confronts the owner
many times in the course OF year.
When travelling around from place to
place 1t Is a nuisance, but he wants It
SO often when he has arrived at his
destination that he often wears It or
carries It with him in a hat box made
for the purpose. In the former in.
stance he is under necessity of having
1t ironed frequently, and in the latter
he is troubled with a bulky package
which is of no use to him except when
the hat is in it.
The advantage of this box illustrat
ed Is that when not in actual use II
can be folded fat and placed on 9
