The United States geological survey,
which has been making a definite ex-
animation Of Alaska mineral resources,
has discovered a score or more Of large
coal fields In the peninsula, including
anthracite as well rs bituminous. and
there is great promise in yet unex-
pIored country there.
Fully one-fourth Of Alaska, or APP
proximately 10000 square miles, is
little more than an unopened book to
us so far us its precious and useful
minerals are concerned" said Alfred
II Brooks, the. chief geoogist of the
Alaskan division of the geological sur
vey. 1--WE know that there is coal in
this little explored area. Possibly
there are large coal fields which will
form an important part of the ultimate
coal reserve Of Alaska. The Cape Lis
burne coal field represents the western
end of what is probably large coal
area not yet determined. 1t is not i'm
possible that the area of Ignite and
low grade bituminous coal may be dOu-
Bile the present known coal area In the
territory, which is over $4,000 square
miles. The coal of Alaska ranges in
quality from Ignite to coal that com
pares favorably with the famous Poca-
hontas coal of West Virginia. Some Of
the bituminous coal makes good coke
Colxing is the severest test of a soft
coal and gives it especial value in a
metalliferous region. Some of the coal
seams of the territory are Of great
thickness. have observed 'swells' in
seams that were sixty feet of solid
coal.
"The Alaska coal fields, particularly
those carrying high grade fuel, like
the Controller Bay and the Matsanuska
fields, are destined to play an impor-
tant part in the advancement of in
dustry of the entire Pacific seaboard
Of the North American continent
''The mineral coal in the ground in
Alaska has not yet been definitely es-
timated and, whatever estimates are
made, for some years to come will
doubtless be subject to wide expansion
as further geological explorations are
carried forward, but it is proper to
say that the coal resources of the ter
ritory are very great and that they
will be figured in hundreds of millions
and even billions of tons"

Experiments have shown that the hui
man body between the feet and the
hands has an average electrical resist
ance of about 5000 ohms when the
hands and the shoe soles are wet and
from 10000 to 10000 ohms when hands
and feet are practically dry. With the
last resistance one two-hundredth
ampere current will pass through the
body If the hand completes a 100 volt
circuit through the earth. In the com
monty used alternating current of 100
volts and 80 cycles per second there
may be difficulty In letting go of the
wire, and such a circuit of 500 volts
is very dangerous, especially if travers-
ing vital organs

In the summer, when so many thou.
sands drink from tempting springs In
the woods and on hillsides a warning
recently given by r. A. Martel, the
celebrated French explorer of caverns
should not go unnoticed Contrary ia
widely prevalent opinion. M. Martel
says that springs of apparently pure
water are in many cases merely the
outflow of surface waters which have
disappeared through assures. carrying
with them pollution from the soil and
not purified in their passage through
the rocks He thinks that even chalk
Is not an effectual filter for surface

Nominated for congress

The nomination of General Grubb by
the Democrats Of the Second Congress
sional District is quite an unusual pro-
ceeding, a General Grubb does not pre-
tend to be a Democrat but a new idea

that his views are not much at variance
with the average Democrat, and that a
straight Democrat could not hope to

The New Timetable

The fall and winter timetable on the
West Jersey and Seashore railroad
went into effect on Tuesday, Septem-
Der 20, 1908. the morning express for
via Wfnsiow, leaves
Wildwood Crest at 7.15, arriving in the
city at Market street ferry at 9.39.
This train stops at all stations between
here and Sea Isle Junction, making
connection at the latter junction by a
change of cars for all points north on
the Millville line; but too late to make
morning connections for Bridgeton and
Salem branches. The next train out
leaves the Crest at 11.30, running to
wildwood Junction only and making
connection for Cape May. The first af-
ternoon train out leaves the Crest at
Lao for Camden by way of Millville.
This train makes good connections at
Glassboro fol- Elmer and other points
on the Bridgeton and Salem branches.
The second afternoon train out Is the
express for Philadelphia, leaving the
Crest at 8.25 and due in the city at BAT.
On this train the traveller can reach
any point between here and Sea Isle
Junction, also by a change of a r at
Wildwood Junction any station be-
tween here and Camden can be reached,
also points on the Bridgeton branch
with nearly an hours wait at Glass
boro. This train makes connection for
the Salem branch at Woodbury. also by
a wait of about a half-hour. The next
and last train out leaves the Crest at
Ass, running to the junction and max
Ing connection for Cape May.
Southwark the first train leaves
Philadelphia at $40 IN the morning
and is due at the Crest at HOB, rum
ming by way of Winslow. The next
train leaves the city at 9.32, electric by
way of Millville, due at the Crest at
12.47. The only train down in the
afternoon is the expess leaving Phila-
delphia at S.52 and due at the Crest
at 6 10. On Sundays there is a morn
ing train up leaving the Crest at 6.45
and due in Philadelphia at $50, by
way of Millville. The next train up is
at Las due in Philadelphia at 400, by
way of Millville, with a connection for
Elmer and the Bridgeton branch by a
two hours wait at Glassboro, and with
the Salem branch by a wait Of about the
same time at Woodbury.. The Sunday
afternoon express up leaves the Crest
at 1926 and is due at Philadelphia at
$50. There is a parlor a on the trains
by way of Winslow to and from Wild
wood Junction. Take 1t all in sill the
service is not so bad. For instance our
evening train from the city reaches here
shortly after six, whereas last year 1t
was not due here until yearly seven.
This is a distinct improvement. Some
Of the other trains, notably those by
way of Millville, could be improved
rpon SO as to give better service to
Bridgeton, Millville, Vineland, and
other points on that line.

Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Washington, d. c., April 20.-Sen-
ator Borah in his maiden speech to-
day made the older members sit up
and take notice. He scoffed at For
akers attitude, warmly defended
President Roosevelts action, and fl
nally turned his batteries against the
growth of anarchy, of which he held
the rioting of the negro troops to be
a part, in a telling speech on the
Brownsville case. He said the evil
dence was overwhelmingly against
the negro soldiers, unless resort is
taken to the proposition of conspir-
acy entered into to manufacture evil
dence to the contrary. To his mind
certain members of the Twenty-Fifth
infantry are guilty of murder, plan
ned, deliberated and accomplished
with deadly precision. He said there
was one point in which the rioters
failed, and that was they expected to
kill more people than they did
