PROPER FOOD AND EXERCISE.
Nature Of Occupation Should Be Guide
to the Diet.

A nice point Of diet insisted upon BY
medical writer In Health Culture is
that IL 1t is properly proportioned to a
sedentary life. lack of exercise will
not be felt. There is no absolute need
OF the long walk, the dumbbell or In.
dian club, unless 1t has been preceded
by an excessive meal. Exercise Is a
good and necessary thing, but always

Sir Henry Thompson, might safely

only small amount of exercise, and
yet maintain an excellent standard OF

TESTING EGGS.
a Dark Room and a Candle All That
Is Needed to Determine
Fertility.

Eggs are never so fertile In winter
as In the warm weather, and all should
be tested on the eighth day. A piece
OF cardboard, with hole cut out in
which to fit the egg, is usually en-
ployed to assist the tester, and this is
certainly an aid, but by encircling the
egg between the forefnger and thumb
we shut the light out all around 1t,
and thus obtain the same result. Eggs
should be tested in a dark room by the
aid Of candle or lamp, says the Cul-
tivator. Hold the egg up against the
light, and it will be more or less trans
parent, according as to whether II is
dark or white-shelled. Then, II the
egg is fertile, looking closely a dark
spot will be seen floating inside the,
she'll. This is the germ which has
awakened to life and is growing. By
the eighth day it is quite indiscernible.
but If the light is good and the OBJ
erdUor experienced fertile and unfer-
tile can be separated about the fourth
day, though the eighth is quite soon
enough for the average poultry-keeper.
Dark brown shelled are more difficult
to test than white, owing to the she'll
being more Opaque. If any are doubt
ful, put them back and test again the
following night. It IS vel! to have a
fresh egg to compare with the tested
eggs, If doubtful about the latter, the
difference between fertile and unfer-
tile shows them up more clearly. Be
careful the eggs do not get chilled IL
tested on cold night. If there are
many eggs to test it will pay to Lave
one of the very quick and convenient
testers sold by the incubator aud
poultry supply houses.

will quadruple the output. The stones obtained are not of large size. They range from "culls" used for watch jew els and other mechanical purposes to gems averaging, when cut, from half a carat to two or three carats and rarely up to five or six. As gems they are brilliant, free from flaws and of good color, ranging from light shades to the rich deep blue of oriental sapphires. The Yogo crystals have an advantage for mechanical uses over East Indian stones in their form, which is largely short prismatic or rhombohedral, with fiat basal terminations, and hence they need much less cutting for such purposes as watch jewels. The gems are sent to Amsterdam for cutting and yield from two ffths to one half their weight in finished stones.

The Sapphire.

The sapphire is variety of corundum or native alumina. The blue color can be analysed into two colors, an ultra marine blue and yellowish green. The origin of the color has never been deter mined, for although oxide of cobalt would give the same blue, analysis does not always show that mineral present. Next to the diamond the sapphire is the hardest known substance. Its crystal line formation is rhombohedral, as are all the corundum family, such as the ruby. There seems to be no doubt that the ancient Sapphirus and the Old Tes- lament sapphire were what we now call the lapis-lazuli, while the stone that we now call the sapphire was the ancient Hyacinthus. The best sapphires come from Ceylon and Australia, while coarser varieties occur in the United States and in Europe

 It will be seen by this last quotation from Dana that the placer gold mines are "chiefy" the field for the prospector in the Klondike, as well as in other camps.
 And, furthermore, I wish to impress upon the minds of the prOspectors of this camp that most of the minerals de- scribed above by Dana are found in the goldpans on nearly every creek being now worked in the Klondike, which can be readily proven by the use of the magnifying glass, or chemical analysis. The rarest of these minerals found in our placers is platinum and corundum.
 The Klondike abounds in conglomer- ate reefs; in fact they have been discov- cred and recorded on all four sides of the city of Dawson, on account of carry ing gold and other values, as also in the Indian River district.
 Three years ago a placer miner on CIcth SdN Ctl d Nliti lull Ol very small rubies and sold them after wards in San Francisco for the sum of $2OO.
 More than two years since Tiffany X Co.,, of New York city, cut two stones of the pink garnet species from a tributary of the Stewart river, and quoted the valuation of same as very close to that of the diamond. Ex Governor Ogilvie is interested in concession very close to the said creek.
 The topaz, emerald, garnet, ruby, zircon, opal, amethyst, moonstone, and a great variety of agates have been found in this immediate vicinity, and in one of my own dykes have at the present time millions of topaz of various shades, tints and forms, in sight, among which I hope soon to be able to find crystals of hardness 10-diamonds-as well as to- paz, of hardness 8.
 Diamonds are found in the solid rock as well as in the placers, and for this reason the quartz miner should keep a weather eye on the crystals. .

 In his work on "Determinative Miner ology and Blow Pipe" Brush is very concise and to the point. He signifies, according to the above quotations, that diamond is almost any color ranging betwet n white and black, and that it is distinguished by its hardness, which is 10.
 The hardness of quartz is generally or less. Iolite and staurolite are in hardnts'. Zircon, beryl, euclase and phenacite are 7.5 in hardness. Topaz is 8 in hardness C;ahnte (zinc spinelD is 7.5 to s in hardness. Sapphire-corun- dunn is in hardness. Ruby-corundum is also 9 in hardness.
 The diamond being of SO great vari- ety of shapes and colors, it will be readily seen that the prospector must rely alm, st entirely on the test for hardness He can not, therefore, throw away crystals found in his goldpan re- sembling agates of any color without risk of sing precious gems of great ,lue, as we'll as those of lesser value ranging from s to 9 in hardness

The following newspaper clipping was handed the Valley News by friend who never forgets to keep lookout for gems while prospecting for gold. It was evil dently printed in 1903:
 Editor Dawson Record:
 Sir:-Myself and one of my partners have for years been prospecting for gems of every description, including dia- monds, and we desire to gather and to disseminate all the information possible concerning the formation of this camp and the various crystals unearthed by the placer and quartz miners of the Yukon.
 To this end have accepted the invi- ta,ion of Mir. White of your valued journal to write something on this sub ject of crystalography, and will also quote Dana and other authorities, hop ing to encourage many others to pros pect for the precious stones as we are doing.
 Diamonds are found distorted into elongated pear-shaped forms, also irreg- ular; and in groups. In spherical forms with radiated structure and rough exte- rior. Rarely massive. Luster, ada mantive to greasy, sometimes dull. Color-white or colorless; occasionally various pale shades of yellow, red, orange, green, blue, brown; sometimes black. Usually transparent; also trans lucent and opaque.

Tragedy in the Career
 of Delegate-Elect Gale
From the Juneau Transcript, Aug. 9.

children have resided there for the last quarter century.
 While Mir. Gale was in Juneau during the campaign he was asked by Mir. Fay if he was not the same man that was in the shooting scrape at Ouray, and Mir. Fay says Gale admitted he was the same man.
 Mir. Gale may have been justified in killing his man, but the very fact that he did it as Pinkerton man will cause the miners of Alaska, who hate Pinker- ton and all his men worse than they hate the devil and his angels, to wish they hadn't sent him to congress. It may be that Gale will be valuable man in congress, for that body for some time has been hunting for some man who can assist the government in breaking up the Federation of Miners in Colorado and other western states.
Yukon Valley news., 1906-09-12

The report at the close of the cam paign that Thomas Gale was for several years Pinkerton detective is corrobor- ated by Mir. Babtrice Fay, now here in Juneau.
 Thomas Gale and his brother, Fay relates, came to Ouray, Colorado, way back in the 9Os to arrest man wanted by the Pinkertons. In the attempt to arrest him Gales brother was shot dead, but before the man could turn the gun on Thomas he was killed by the brother who is now delegate-elect to congress from Alaska. Our informant could not tell us what settlement was made con- corning the murder, but Gale came to the Yukon territory soon after and three or four years ago came back across the line into his own country. He has not been back to his home in Wisconsin for nine years, though his wife and seven
