J. |. MCCABE WAS
 PROBABLY DROWNED

It is now believed that J. L. McCabe, dwell known citizen of this city, who has been interested much of the time in mining, was drowned last summer in Tagish or Toochi lake. He left the camp of Peter Goedell, ou Windy Arm, some time last June. Since then nothing has been heard of him. It was not be- lieved that he was going far when he left, but after he failed to return 1t was thought he had gone to Skagway or the Engineer group on Taku Arm. Subse guent investigations have convinced his friends that neither conclusion was correct. He has never appeared ln any of his old haunts in this city and nothing was ever seen of him at the Engineer group, where he spent some time early in the season. It is believed that he was drowned while trying to make this city, either in TagiSh lake or Toochi lake.

ALAsKA ROAD COMMISSION
 WORK

The bare statement of the work that has been done and Is being done by Ithe Alaskan road rcommission, which sp- pesred in the Daily Alaskan asia simple news items the other day, is complete and unsnswersble refutstion of the at- tack that was made upon it by 8 con- yention that has been all but forgotten, notwithstanding the fact that it was of recent occurrence. The idea of making hundreds on hundreds of miles of roads, bridges and trails through the wilder ness within three or four months after an appropriation for that purpose became available, by federal govern ment that has earned reputation for slowness and deliberstion, is rather as founding. It is certainly unusual. It marks the Alaskan road commission CTS as meR of energy and singleness of purpose, ss well as men Of the very highest grade of competency.
 But the commission has done more than that. It has surveyed 8 mail route connecting Fairbanks and Nome, Alsska's two most important towns, and lessening the distance between them by 250 miles. This survey has been made of character so thorough that it will serve as a preliminary sur vey for s railroad or wagon road, and will sdd much to the knowledge neces- sary to those who would plan the aevel- opment of comprehensive system Of railroads for this district.
 That the commission has done it's work we'll and to the satisfaction of the people is borne out by the manner in which the press of the interior came to it's defence when it was attack ed by the Juneau politicians. EverJ- where there has been praise of the commission and denuncistion of the Juueauites.

tinued Mrs. Lombard, with haste, as
she saw signs of inquiry on the faces
of her friends, suppose she doesn't fit
very well. That doesn't alter the fact
that she has an invalid brother to sup
port and that she tried everything else,
from stenography to cooking, and only
took up sewing as a last resort and

BARREL SPRAY PUMP.
Fitted with hose and bamboo extension
rods for orchard spraying.l

Fitted with hose and bamboo extension
rods for orchard spraying.l
An ordinary fifty gallon whisky or
kerosene barrel forms an excellent
though inexpensive tank for holding
the spray. The pump, according to its
design, can be inserted in the end or
the side Of the barrel The barrel may
then be mounted to suit the operator
on a sled or on two wheels, or it may
be placed in q cart or wagon. A small
sled can be made in few minutes by
spiking some plank across a couple Of
pieces 2 by inches. or, better, 3 by A
inches, with the ends rounded to serve
as runners. Such an outfit can be
drawn through narrow rows of pota-
toes, vegetables or other crops, where
a wagon could not 90. The ordinary
two wheeled cart makes very con-
venient rig to use with the barrel
sprayer. One man can easily drive the
cart and do the pumping, while one or
two additional hands can apply the
spray from the ground.
Various forms of tanks can be mount
ed on a two horse wagon and thus en-
able a larger quantity Of spray to be
carried into the field. These tanks are
sometimes square or rectangular. Some
orchardists prefer to mount a large
hogshead either end up or on its side
and to pump the spray from that. AS
a rule, however, the best style is either
a rectangular tank or a half round
tank, fat on top. With the rectangular
or half round tank an ordinary barrel
pump can be used, but it is much bet
ter to use one of the larger tank pumps
especially made for the purpose. This
can be mounted either on top Of the
tank or on n platform at either end.
The regular tank pump has Il suction
tube of whatever length Is desired,
which draws the spraying mixture
from the tank.
One Of the great advantages OF the
tank pump outfit is the convenience Of
arranging an elevated platform. Where
tall trees are to be sprayed 1T is al
most impossible to reach the tops from
the ground with extension rods of rea-
sonable length. A scaffolding or tow

A POTTERY TOWN.
ChinEtechen Il Unlike Any other
Place In China.

ChinEtechen IL unlike any Otner
Place In China.
For at least 900 years the town
Chingtechen, In China, has been devot-
ed to the making of pottery. Every
thing In Chlngtechen belongs to the
porcelain and earthenware industry.
The houses are for the most part built
Of fragments either of old kilns or Of
the fire clay covers In which the porce-
lain Is stacked during firing. The riv-
er bank Is for miles covered with a
deep stratum Of broken chlnaware and
chips es fire clay, and the greater part
of the town and several square miles
Of the surrounding country are built
over or composed Of q similar deposit.
Chingtechen is unlike anything else
in China. The forms, the color, the
materials used In the buildings, the at
mosphere, are reminiscent Of the poorer
parts Of a civilized Industrial center.
There are 104 large pottery kllns in
the town. The greater part are In use
only for q short season In the summer.
During this busy season the population
Of Chingtechen rises to about 100000
souls, but of this total nearly half are
laborers drawn from wide area OF
country, who come for the season, live
In rows Of barracklike sheds and do
not bring their families with them.
Visitors to Chlngtechen pass along
street after street where every shop Ii
occupied by men, women and children,
all engaged In the designing, moldlng,
painting or distributing Of pottery.
The river bank Is crowded for three
miles by junks either landing material
and fuel or shipping the finished prod

Pampered Stomachs.

Even though IT takes pork four hours
10 leave the stomach and six more to
be dissolved and absorbed In the small
intestine, what does that matter SO
long as It is completely asslmllated by
the end of that time, as it is in 30 per
cent Of all digestive canals? 1t is the
slowest, but one of the surest foods
that we have to give off all its energy
to the body. Its very slOwness Is what
gives it its splendid staying powers for
hard work, whether muscular or men
tai. AS a matter Of fact l have seen
more cases Of dyspepsia cured by the
use of breakfast bacon than by any
kind Of drug or restricted diet An
adult allmentary canal which cannot
digest bacon or ham is not to be re-
garded as healthy, and, instead Of hui
moring and giving in to a weak diges-
ton, it should be braced up and, under
skilled supervision, educated to take
what Is given 1t and make no fuss
Stomachs can be spoiled by giving
them too little to do almost as easily as
by giving them too much. A healthy
stomach fit to cope with the emergen-
cies of life must be able to digest not
only that which is digestible, but much
that Is difficult of digestion, and this Is

NAVAL DISCIPLINE.
Punishments That Are Melted Out t.
British Sailors.

British sailors.
For infraction of regulations some
curious punishments are meted out in
the English navy. 1t is an everyday
occurrence, says London Tit-Bits, to
see half q dozen sailors lined up on
deck facing the paint work, holding
their hammocks on their shoulders. At
first the hammock isn't heavy, but aft
or an hour or so it drags on ones shout
ders like lead. Besides, 1t is not at all
entertaining to stare fixedly at a square
foot Of painted woodwork for an hour
or more at time.
Another punishment that Jack de-
splses Is baillng with spoon. He Is
placed upon the deck, with two large
wooden buckets, one filed with water
and the other empty. With a spoon he
must dip all the water from one buck
ct and transfer 1t to the other, being,
meanwhile, the butt Of his comrades
jests and Jeers.
Sometimes a delinquent is made to
walk slowly backward and forward
along the deck, nursing In his arms q
six inch projectile, weighing a little
over 100 pounds. Once a sailor, who
laughed at the stammerlng speech Of
his commander, was made to stand up
on the forebridge, In full view Of the
ships crew, and laugh for an hour and
q half
Splitting upon the deck Of man-of'
war is strictly prohibited. CuspldOrs
are placed at intervals along the deck,
and these must be used. Upon some
ships, when sailor is caught splitting
upon the deck, a small tub Is strapped
to his chest, and he is made 70 wear IT..
Any one who chooses may use this
walking receptacle. The offender thus
punished rarely repeats his offense.

GAS quick as lightning" is q phrase
colloquially used to express the maxi
mum of rapidity, but, according to q
we'll known scientist, electricity itself
Is outstripped by that old fashioned
machine, the human body, by which II
appears powers can, so to speak, be
generated in the brain, transmitted
through the nerves and developed In
the muscles In an infniteSimal frac-
ton Of a second.
1t is stated that pianist In playing
a presto Of Mendelssohn played $685.
notes In four minutes and three Sec
onds. The striking of each Of these, II
has been estimated, involved two
movements Of the finger and possibly
more.
Again. the movements Of the wrist,
elbows and arms can scarcely be less
than one movement for each note. AS
twenty-four notes were played each
second and each involves three move
ments we would have seventy-twO vol
untary movements per second.
Again, the place, the force, the time
and the duration of each Of these move
ments were controlled. All these motor
reactions were conditioned upon a
knowledge of the position Of each fin
ger Of each hand before it was moved,
while moving it, as well as Of the au-
ditory effect to force and pitch, all Of
which involves equally rapid sensOry
transmissiOns.
If we add to this the work of the
memory in placing the notes In their
proper position as well as the fact that
the performer at the same time partici-
pates in the emotion the selection de-
scribes and feels the strength and
weaknesses Of the performance, we ar
rive at a truly bewildering network Of
impulses coursing along at inconceiva-
bly, rapid rates.
Such estimates show, too, that we are
capable Of doing many things at once.

Of higher and lower centers, the avail

in Farm and Ranch. The tedder Is
Kicking machine" not chronic, two
legged kicking machine - that Is a
nuisance-but two wheeled kicker
drawn by one or two horses, accord
ing to size. 1t usually takes two
swaths as left by the moving machine,
kicks them up into the air as fast as
the horses walk. and the hay falls back
to the ground in fluffy condition, so
that sun and air can get in. Without
the tedder the hay becomes cured or
overcured Oh top while it is still green
underneath, but with the tedder it can
be cured uniformly all the way through.
The tedder will also hasten the process
of curing. which is important at any
time.
