Alaska BuOys Neglected

"Without doubt Alaska needs many more aids to navigation and the gov ernment ought to do much for the northern waters in this respect, but what is needed more than anything else at present is that the lighthouse service should attend to what few aids we have there and see that they are in place." said Capt. E. C.. Baughmar of the Humboldt in telling of a few incidents to show how the lighthouse service is neglecting the Alaska end of its duties.
 "There has not been a lighthouse tender in Alaska for the past six months, judging from the condition of the buOys there. In Wrangell narrows there are three buoys, and 10 and 5 which have been out of place for far longer than that period. No. has been out for a year and a half, having broken adrift and been put back in the wrong place. In one of the worst spots, between No. 8 and No. 10, there is no buoy at all and No. 10 has been on the wrong reef for several months past. The ships spend their time in Puget sound or other pro- tected ports while the few Alaskan aids are rendered useless by the rough weather which has to be faced in the North in winter. ."-Seattle Times.

Novel Ruling is made

When a man is engaged in the same line of business as the individual who may become defendant in a damage suit, he is not qualified to sit on the jury to try the cause. This, in effect, is the ruling of Judge c. H. Hanford, made in the case of W. F. Smith versus the Puget Sound Mill Company in which complainant seeks to recover damages for personal injury sustained through the alleged carelessness of defendant.
 A. B. Graham's name was drawn for jury service, but when it developed that he was in the lumber business, the prosecution challenged him for cause. He was satisfactory to the de- fense, but the complainant insisted, and Jndge Hanford sustained the challenge.-Seattl Times.

Rush to Mckinley District

E. NJ. Walters, an Alaska mining man who recently took options on a group of twenty-six placer claims in the Mount Mckinley district, predicts a big rush into that section of Alaska this summer. Mr. Walters was in the Mount Mckinley district last summer, and his claims are about forty miles from the placer workings that pro- duced $2OO,OOO.
 "I have simply taken an option on some placer ground in the Mount Me- Kinley district," said Mir. Walters, 'and will make a thorough investiga- tion before buying the property. l have man in that country now who is an experienced placer miner, and expect to join him the latter part of May. From the reports that l have received it looks as if there would be a big rush into the Mount Mckinley country this summer, although no big strikes have been made.
 "This is a hard country in which to operate, as it rains on an average of twenty days out of every month dur ing the summer. While the district is still in the prospecting stage the showing warrants the belief that some good strikes will be made. There are some places in the district that it will be necessary to operate with hydraulic but good part of the ground can be worked as straight placer diggings. " p. l.

the subject of the anti-gambling bills just

August Belmont, chairman Of the jockey club,
made the following brief statement:
Il cannot say what the various racing asso-
Citations will do when the so-called anti-racing
bill just passed by the Senate of New York
State becomes law through the Governors sig
nature, which doubtless will be affixed as soon
as the measure comes before him.
The various associations, however, have
racing features. to run off this season, which
constitute sporting obligations and they will
undoubtedly live up to them No one can we'll
predict whether or not the prohibition Of bet
ting at races will ruin horse racing irret1ieva-
bly,, but it is a severe blow to the best inter
est of the turf in any event. It will ulti-
mately throw many men out of employment
and cripple the breeding and Improvement Of
thoroughbred horses in the United States. -

Is Four Hours Sleep Enough?
Thomas A. Edison tells of an experiment
tending to prove his theory that normal man
needs not more than four hours Of sleep in the
twenty-four The test involved 100 men
employed in the Edison laboratory at Menlo
Park For two years, he says, they worked on
the four-hour sleep schedule, and cit did not
seem to hurt them The only variation in
their habits was the eating of four instead of
three meals a day, an extra supper being
served at midnight. For the first week or so
the men showed up very tired and limp, but
after that they gained in mental alertness and
bodily agility Edison calls attention to the
fact that on this plan the men slept perfectly
when they we're in bed, whereas IN the ordl-.
nary plan of eight or ten hours in bed, he
believes that most people are not sound asleep
and dreamless for the whole period. He
also tells how his wife changed from the
eght-hour to the fve-hour plan with the best
results He questions the accepted idea that
sleep is required to restore the body.
