Norwegian Moss.

Prof. Hansteen, of the agricultural school at Alas, Norway, finds that a greenish-white moss common in that country can be converted into delicious and nutritious food by being subjected to chemical process, compressed and cooked. He says that nine ounces of moss. costing two cents. will make a good dinner for six persons-which is evidence that his zeal outruns his dis cretiop. inasmuch as an ounce and a half of food Is not enough to make a substantial meal for a normal man or woman.

Explosive Dust in Mines.

Recent explosions in coal mines have shown that the fine dust which settles on the timber and sides of roadways Is an element of serious dan ger. The risk is kept at the minimum when and where the dust is removed as much as possible and the currents of air forced into the mine through ventilating shafts are made as dry as practicable.

Submarine Monotony.

As rule with few exceptions. the surface of the earth under the oceans is devoid of striking and abrupt con- trasts. It would be monotonous If 1t were brought to view. The action of the water and the depositing of organ ic and other matter settling down through the sea have smoothed down the greater part of the subaqueous earth and left 1t far from picturesque.

"f'm glad to hear that Flatman has inherited a fortune and bought a good farm with it. How does he like living in the country?"
 "Spiendidly. But when the first day of last May came he forgot himself and went around absent-mindedly looking for new farm. under the im- pression that he had got to move."-- Chicago Tribune.

When a boy breaks away from the ties of home and makes his way in the world, he IS, when he gains recognition, heralded with pride as a self-made man. As goes the man so goes the nation. This bit of philosophy is advanced on account of the stock cry that is heard from many that. "This ter- ritory is not yet ready for self government t."-Fairbanks News
 Exactly so. The young man Is or IS years of age is generally of the opinion that he can run the farm better than the old man and when permitted to try his hand, about the first thing he does is to put a mortgage on it. Alaska is a part of the old mans farm and the boys of Alaska are anxious to "divide up" and secure title to their part of the estate that they may give mortgage on it and have good time. All other ter ritorivs have done the same thing, hence the old mans hesitancy about granting territorial govern ment.-Juneau Transcr D..

Although the Northwestern Steamship Co. is strictly within
 the law in refusing to care for the shipwrecked employees of the Oregon the fact that it has done so has caused much unfavorable comment amongst patrons of the company. IL would seem no more than just for the company to care for its men until they reached Seattle, when one considers the good work done by them in mak- ing it comfortable for the passen- gers of the wrecked boat and in getting them safely off the vessel.

Speaking of the return of Judge Wickersham to Fairbanks the Times says: His return in his official capacity is unfortunate; unfortunate for himself as we'll as for those who must perforce appear before him.

SONORA MINES.

The most important item reported from the Sonora field this week was the bonding of the La Union mine in the Tordilla district to Lem Shattuck, Mir. Patterson and others of the Shat. tuck-Arizona company, by c. M. Bell and his associates. This property has already attracted considerable atten- ton because of the high grade ore shipped from it last year by MT. Bell to the Copper Queen smelter in this city. This deal means, so the story goes, that important development work is to be inaugurated at the La Union in the near future with an up-to-date machinery plant and diamond drills The Tordilla district is believed to cover one of the very best copper belts in Sonora by mining men who have visited the properties there. The mn eraI belt is about fiTteen mics long from the properties owned by George Dunn. of Bisbee to rne La Union claims.
