These fellows are highly aristocratic

Nine Annals castle at an early hour,

on a 900-foot railroad bridge over a

trains were already running across.
McRay was down on a scaffold some
30 feet under the middle. His helper.

ropes that held ii. There were two
ropes, one from each end The first
rope the helper had tied round a wood

in a dreamy kind OF a way he had
tied the second round one of the rails.
Then he slid down, and the pair be-

His helper looked round, gave one
frantic shout, and dived for the river

roared overhead cut the rope in two,

scaffolding tight. He hung by the
other rope, and said good deal. When

Alaska,s Hidden treasures.

Alaska has more gold than ever had
California, Australia or South Africa
it has more copper than 20 Buttes; il
has more hard coal than Pennsylvania,
and it has more tin than Wales. The
hay that rots on its tundras and
plains would fatten all the cattle that
roam upon the prairies of Kansas, Ok
lahoma and Texas. And there the
wild, fertile, untouched plains and
valleys await the ak, the spade. the
plow and the reaper of half a million
American farmers and gardeners. And
yet this virgin empire remains virtu-
ally landlocked for nearly 1000 miles
along its Pacific coast For a distance
of nearly 100 miles from the coast in
land the country is so rugged that
it is almost as cheap to build rail
road as a wagon road The great river
system of this empire flows northward
into seas ice-locked for seven months
of the year. The heart of this wonder
land is close to all the great possible
channels of commerce, except rail
roads, which must be built in the i'm
mediate future, yea, which are now be-
ing actually constructed from its ice
free Pacific harbors.-Review of Re

Electricity from the Earth.

Great local differences in the electri-
fication of the earth are known to ex-
list, and a German engineer suggests
that with better knowledge it may be
possible to make mining for electricity
as profitable as digging for coal or
metals. In experiments in two COM
paratively shallow borings, he has OBJ.
tanned weak currents between a small
rod of brass or iron immersed in the
water of the pit and a similar rod
buried near the surface. He urges
that contractors, mining companies and
others take up the problem, and per
form such experiments as testing the
current between a 60-foot copper cylin-
der at the bottom of boring of 10000
feet or more and a similar cylinder bur,

power, light and heat.

Value of Farm Lands.

Relieved OF the pressure Of vacant

value of farms will continue to rise.
and the value of farm products viii

American farm lands to a level With
those Of western Europe. where till
