CLUMSY ALEuT cANoE1sTs
Alaskan Natives Who Do Not Know
How to Handle Paddle

Did you ever see anything so absurd
in your life? The speaker was one of
a group of tourists on the upper deck Of
a steamer from Seattle at Valdez. Alas
ka. He was pointing at a native in \
skin covered canoe. The fellow Woud
give two or three vigorous strokes with
his paddle on one side of the boat, until
she was headed way around, and then
two or three on the other side, sending
her equally Off her course in the other
direction The mereSt novice at canoe
ing knows that you can hold straight
line by giving the paddle little twist
at the end of the stroke.
A little later the tourists saw an even
more amazing sight. In another skin
covered canoe were two more Aleuts
They would both paddle briskly on the
same side of the boat for a short time
and then both switch over to the other
side. They kept tbs boat zigzagging as
if she We're sailing up a narrow channel
against a strong head wind. If each
had stuck to one side, they would have
Travelled twice as fast.
The SECOND officer of the steamer hap
pened along just then. Look here
these natives know how to paddle a
canoe? What about all these stories
you hear of the skill of such people with
the tools that earn their living?'
Il never saw an Aleut yet who knew
how to paddle" said the second officer,
''and I've been around these waters
for twenty years. It's odd, too, because
they are such daring seamen. They will
go 200 miles in these baidarkies, as they
call their canoes, sometimes out of sight
of land for hours"
What do they do in a seaway or a
storm?"
THE canoes are decked over except
for the round cockpit in which the men
sit. When going on long journey to
hunt for fish they wear garment which
they call a camolinka. It's a kind of
big, loose shirt that fits snugIy at the
neck and waist. It's of cotton cloth
soaked in linseed oil to make it water
proof. When the Aleut gets into the
boat he spreads this shirt outside the
combing of the cockpit and ties string
or thong around it. The craft therefore
doesn't ship bit of water
Suppose it should turn over?"
"Oh, they usually drown"

Italian Concrete Boats and Barges.

The Gahellni company. which has
been engaged in concrete construction
for some eight years. states that in 1905
II built one barge of 100 tons for harhor
use which proved great success. In
the following year it constructed one of
100 tons for the Italian ministry of
marine, and upon its being found salts
factory after trials in the harbor of
Spezzia four others were ordered by that
ministry. The dimensions of these barges
are: length, 81 feet; beam, Is feet; and
they are constructed with double bot
toms, divided into watertight compart-
ments. and thus rendered practically un-
sinkahle. They sell for about 500 each.
The company has thus far made no ex-
periments III installing motive power in
boats or harges, but is confident that this
can be readily done. Comparing first
cost and endurance in floating eonstruc-
tons of wood and concrete. the company
states that wooden barge costing 5000
requires after five years service repairs
entaihng an expenditure of about 80 per
cent. of initial price, while like construc-
tons in concrete are found after eight
years of use TO be in perfect condition.
Its concrete harges in use for a number
of years as supports of floating bridges
in Italy show, it afiirms, like power of

NINE ELEPHANTS TO A MAN.
Huge Bag Made by Nine Dutch Hunters
in South Africa.

To secure bag of eighty-one ele-
plants in these prosaic days will seem
like dream to most sportsmen, but the
feat has just been accomplished by J..
w. Niljoen and eight other Dutch farm
ers in the Lomagundi district. The gov
eminent has just thrown the district
open for the destruction of elephants,
and this enormous bag was made with
in sixty miles of the capital of Rho
desia. and near the railway.
NIlJoen and his party pitched their
camp at Maquadzio, the center of the
elephant district, and divided up into
pairs, fact which nearly led to a fatal
ity, for going through the bush Viljoen
encountered his first elephant. which he
shot. As this fell another one crashed
through the trees at the back of the
hunter, and pursued him, once striking
the horse with his trunk. until Yilioen
succeeded in reaching clearer ground,
where he found himself thirty yards
ahead of his pursuer. Slipping off his
horse, he fired at the elephant and
killed it.
One incident marred the sport. and
that was the accidental shooting of a
member of the party named Eloff. Eloff
ana three companions paired off and
walked a distance of about fifty yards
apart, when Eloff and his friend sud
denly saw two elephants. They fired.
a
tusk of one of the animals, who prompt
~ charged them. Eloff made in the d.
rectlon of the men in front of him. and
they, seeing the beast crashing through
the brush behind them and ignorant of
Eloffs whereabouts, fred at the eie-
plant, and while one bullet despatched
the elephant, the other found a billet in
Eloifs neck. killing him instantly.
The party came back to the Transyaal
the richer for 2000 pounds of ivory and
seven young elephants The first one
was captured when half grown. 1t was
feeding with four grown elephants all
OF which were shot, and then the little
ore, instead of running away, made for
the hunters, two of whom seized IFS fail.
while the two others hung on to each
ear, and there was a tussle for half an
hour, after which the elephant was rolled
on its back and its feet tied with the
horses reins 1t was then fastened to a
tree, and the next day driven into camp.
After day or two it became so docile
that its attentions were rather nui-
sance, for it tried to tread on the hunt
ers toes, helped itself TO all the avail
able food, and would put its trunk into
the cooking pots and take out anything
ii faneied, while it would follow the ma
tives down to the stream for drink
On the record day twenty elephants
were shot and two little ones captured
Viljoen's unaided efforts accounted for
eighteen of the twenty slain. These two
elephants speedily became docile, and
now that all Tie captiyes are in proper
kraai they have become quite accliTAa-
tiZed to their new surroundings and are
both playful and friendly-B hodesia

WOMAN WITH $4,000 SALARY.
H. H. Rogers Private Secretary and Her
Responsibilities.

III. H. Rogers is an exception among
the great financiers in having woman
for his private secretary. This extreme
" responsible post is filed by Miss *. L.
Harrison, who receives for her services
a salary which is reported to be $4,000
a year.
Miss Harrison has been with Mr.. Rog-
ers for several years, says System. and
In that time has come to know all of his
business friends and social acquaint-
anees. When Mr.. Rogers is out OF
town, as he usually is, Miss Harrison
runs his office. She has her stenogra-
piers, her clerks and her Office boys,
who obey her as their chief.
Even when Mr. Rogers is present, his
time is occupied only as she has ar
ranged for it; and it aust be very I'M
usual and extremely important piece of
business that can get personal confer
ence with even Miss Harrison, until it
has been duly taken up by correspond
ence and analysed and passed upon.
Mark Twain once said that if he let
his correspondence go unanswered long
enough, 1t no longer became necessary to
answer it at all and he could throw
away large bundles of neglected letters
at a time. Perhaps this intiuence-Mr.
Rogers and Mark Twain are fast friends
lis felt in Miss Harrison's office; GER
tain it is that many letters arrive there
merely to find Oblivion.
To Miss Harrison falls the duty of
serving as Mr.. Rogers official buffer
more than that, as his representative.
She herself has buffers, through whom
it is difficult to pass except by prear-
ranged appointment-by letter. Tele-
phone messages are politely requested to
be put in written form and submitted

A judicial decision in Pennsylvania in
regard to the rights of the public to
the water of lakes and rivers is timely
support for the movement in New York
and elsewhere for more sanitary sewage
disposal. The borough of West Chester
has been mulcted to the extent of SLABS
for damages resulting from the poisoning
of a public watercourse with its sewage
The cost of the suit will swell this
amount by an additional $1,000. But it
is not the amount of the damages that
makes the case important; it is the jul
dicial endorsement of the popular view
that communities and industries have no
right to pollute the waters Of lakes or
rivers. 1t gives the possessors of ri
parian rights ground from which to pro-
coed against municipalities which con-
vert streams into open sewers and thus
makes them sources of danger.

A British steamer fitted with the
Sehlick gyroscope to prevent rolling has
demonstrated the success of the contriv-
ance. When the gyroscope is not in mo-
ton her angle of roll at times is no
less than 80 degrees--that is, she rolls
down 16 degrees on each side--but when
the gyroseope is set in motion her roll
ing decreases to total angle of from 2
to 4 degrees. Transatlantic ships are now
palatiai floating palaces, which need only
a smooth sea to make them as comfort
able as hotels If they can be steadied
by mechanical device as simple as the
gyroscope, it may be expected that the
big passenger steamers of the future will
be able to advertise this convenience as
an attraction for travellers who are sub
ject to seasickness.

IT'S sometimes good to be alone
Deep thinkers frequently affirm it.

And dwell there as very hermit
For me, I'm not at all inclined
To frown on folks who go In hiding,
There to restore a tired mind,
Or to escape world too ending.

Instead of, as some say, distressing,
Is often truly more or less
A source of comfort and a blessing.

First reports as to the cranberry crop
were to the effect that there would be
shortage in the harvest this year.
Higher prices were asked by the re-
tailers for the first receipts, and con-
sumers accepted them as natural re-
suit of the alleged shortage But later
reports from the cranberry centers are
more satisfactory. From Massachusetts
the statement is made that the total
yield of the Cape Cod and Plymouth
county boys will exceed 125,0oO bar
rels as against ILL., barrels last
year. IL the situation has changed TO
that extent in other centers of cranberry
culture the supply win be large and
the prices ought to come down. Perhaps
they will, and perhaps they won't. of
late years the retail dealers have been
cultivating illogical independence which
ignores supply altogether, and takes un-
der consideration the factor of willing
ness to pay which dictates the charging
of Fall that the market will stand"

Wall street associates of the great
''bear," James II. Keene, admit almost
unanimously that the financier is seldom
caught mapping. They declare, however,
that Mr.. Keene is absent-minded occa-
sionally, and tell this story on him to
prove it. Keene and his fellow bull
batter" Washington Il. Conner, were at
the Keene country place outside of New
York. 1t was beautiful summer even
ing and Connor proposed a stroll through
the magnificent grounds Though the
guest had left all the cares and worries
of the street in the city, apparently his
host had not. The TWO started on the
walk. but Conner noticed that Keene
was strangely uncommunicative. Sud
denly the full moon appeared above the
trees, and Conner regarded its splendor
in silence for a moment. Then he turned
to his companion.

Germany has tax problem on her
hands which win give her legislators a
xreat deal of trouble. The latest sug-
gestion is tax on artificial illumination.
1t is not always the man who uses the
brightest light that can afford to pay the
highest tax. BY discouraging the free
use of light at night a nation might pro-
duce conditions unfavorable to the eye
sight of it's people. The Germans are
already spectacle-wearing nation. An
ultimate result of the proposed new tax
might be to impair Germany's efficiency
in war If sufficient stress is laid on
this phase of the light tax problem by
opponents of the measure in the Reichs-
tag the proposition viii be doomed.
