Primitive laws always make large wrongs easily possible and difficult ot correction. Under them, gigantic enterprises are more easily and cheaply put through than under modern legal regulation. Alaska's laws are primitive, to say the least-Miners' Record.
 The Railway aud Marine News has the following description of the Cop per river steamer Chittyna, which was designed and built by Joe Supple, of Portland: "In order to get over the worst places capstan, operated by steam power. will be placed on the for ward deck and a spar derrick is at tached to the forward end of the cabin. This derrick is intended simply to handle the spars, putting them in place for operation. Should the boat get stuck on bar, these spars are used to help the boat over in exactly the same manner as a person lying flat on his face on the floor might bitch himself along with his two elbows, this, to- eether with the action of the wheel forming a heavy suction to draw the sand from under the hull, enables these boats to actually pass over bars, which have several inches less water than the boat draws. Then, to, all the main timbers, together with the plank ing are made in one continuous piece by attaching the buts together by straps so that the hull eau actually conform itself to a certain extent, to the contour of the bar"

A Natural Query

Robinson had been down to the club with few of the boys, and when he proceeded home his gait was slightly unsteady. His think tank was little befuddled. On arriving at his home he proceeded with the utmost caution to let himself in. It was about 3 a. m. and all was still. The keyhole seemed to be moving about in most cratic manner, but finally he managed it. Af' ter getting inside it appeared to him as if the furniture had been put in strange places. First he collided with a hall chair and apologised. Next the table with flower pot careened over; this time there was no apology, instead it was something in hoarse whisper. Just as he was about to make one more heroic attempt to mount the stairs his wife's voice was heard in tones of en- quiry: "George, is that you" George straightened himself up and answered, as dignified as he possibly could under the circumstances: "Cert'nly, m' dear, did you expect anybody else?"
