CHAPTER XXXV.
And now for the strange report
that landed at Juan Fernandez
while Gen. Rolleston was searching
Masa Fuero.
The soaster who brought II
ashore had been In company, at
Valparaiso with whaler from
Nantucket, who told him he had
fallen In with Dutch whaler out
at sea, and distressed for water;
he had supplied the said Dutchman
who had thanked him and given
him runlet of HOLLANDS, and had
told him in conversation that he
had seen land and a river reflected
on the sky In waters where no land
was marked on the chart; namely.
somewhere between Juan Fernan-
DEE and Norfolk island; and that,
believing this to be the reflection
of a part of some island. near at
hand. and his water being low,
though not at that time run out. he
had gone considerably out of his
course IN hopes of finding this
watered island, but could see moth

CHAPTER XXXIV.

Hazel rose an hour before dawn.
He put on his worst clothes, and a
leathern belt, his little bags round
his neck, and took his bundle OF
rushes in his hand. He also pro-
vided himself with some pieces of
raw fish and fresh oyster; and thus
equipped, went up through the
wood, and got to the neighborhood
of the lagoons before daybreak.
There was a heavy steam on the
water, and nothing else to be seen.
He put the hood over his head, and
walked into the water.
He walked in up to his middle,
and tied his iron hoop to his belt,
so as to prevent it sinking too
deep. This done, he waited motion
less, and seemed little bed OF
rushes. The sun rose, and the
steam gradually cleared away, and
Hazel, peering through hole or
two he had made expressly in his
bed of rushes, saw several ducks
floating about, and in particular,
all purple, without a speck but his
amber eye. He contrived to detach
a piece of fish,. that soon floated
to the surface near him. But no
duck moved toward it. He tried
another, and another; then a NAL
lard he had not observed swan up
from behind him, and was soon
busy pecking at 1t within yard Of
him. His heart beat; he glided
slowly and cautiously forward till
the bird was close to the rushes.
Hazel stretched out his hand
with the utmost care, caught hold
Of the birds feet, and dragged him
sharply under the /. water, and
brought him up with the circle Of
the rushes. He Quacked and strug-
gled. Hazel soused him under d.
rectly, and so quenched the sound;
then he glided slowly to the bank,
so slowly that the rushes merely
seemed to drift ashore. This he
did to not create suspicion, and SO
spoil the next attempt. AS he
glided, he gave his duck air every
now and then, and soon got on
terra firma. BY this time he had
taught the duck not to quack, or he
would get soused and held under.
He now took the long gut end and
tied 1t tight round the birds leg,
and SO fastened the bag to him.
Even while he was effecting this,
a posse of ducks rose at the west
end of the marsh and took their
flight from the island. AS they
passed, Hazel threw his captive up
in the air; and such was the force
of example. aided. perhaps, by the
fright the captive had received,
that Hazel's bird instantly joined
these travellers, rose with them
into the high currents, and away,
bearing the news eastward upon
the wings OF the wind. Then Hazel
returned to the pool, and twice
more was SO fortunate as to secure
a bird and launch him into space.
So hard Is II to measure the wit
of man, and to define his resources.
The problem was solved: the aerial
messengers were on the wing, diff
fusing over hundreds of leagues of
water the intelligence that an Eng
fish lady had been wrecked ON an
unknown island in longitude 1913
degrees 80 minutes, and between
the twenty-third and twenty-fifth
parallels of south latitude; and
calling good men and ships to her
rescue for the love of God.

MILES OF CARS
That is the Equipment Of Single
Eastern Railroad

That is the Equipment of Single
Eastern Railroad
To care for it's rolling stock the
railroad creates two distinct func
tons of its business. It's tracks, tun
nels, bridges, all the care of its per
manent way, come under the control
of the maintenance of way depart
ment. Similarly, the mechanical de
partment assumes contro of the cars
and engines says Outing, sees to il
that these are maintained to their full
lest efficiency both by care in daily
service and by certain visits to the
shops at regular intervals for repairs
reconstruction and repainting
Aside from its motive power
meaning its locomotives-a railroad
aas many more units in the form of
an unending variety of cars. For the
freight service there are box cars,
refrigerator cars, live stock cars, tank
cars. gondolas for ores, for coal and
for coke, fiat cars for coarse and
bulky freight, the list runs nearly as
long as that of the classifications of
the freight itself
In the passenger equipment there
must be day coaches and smoking
cars-these of varying types for SUI
burban, accommodation or through
service-baggage cars, postal cars; on
some railroads parlor and sleeping
cars
You get an idea of the railroads
when you hear one of the
big Eastern presidents say that the
rolling stock of his line. placed end
to end tightly together, would extend
from New York to Friend, Neb a dis
lance of 1,4SS miles. To make this
long line would be gathered together
the 4,66S locomotives, the 1890 pas
cars. and after these the l99,-
213 freight cars that go to make the
rolling stock of this particular sys-
tenn.
The freight car mileage of this one
railroad alone is squal to more than
one hundred and eighty-three trips
around the world every twenty-four
hours. When you consider the i'm
of a big American railroad
YOU can begin to see what it must
demand in the form of shop facilities.

eEAFTERs AFTER HENEY
Big Fight for District Attorneyship n
San Francisco

San Francisco, Cal, Aug. 20.-The
climax of the fight on graft in San
Francisco will center this fall about
the office of the district attorney and
the opposing candidates will be Fran
els J. Heney, the graft prosecutor who
will run on the Democratic ticket and
Charles Fickert a young lawyer who
will be the Republican candidate.
AS a result of the direct primary
Heney was nominated TO be the Demo
cratic candidate, while Fickert was
named by the Republicans The Dem
ocrats had selected no candidate but
had left a blank space on the ballot
for district attorney so that the name
OF Henry, running independently,
might be written in by the voters.
The total count shows that Heney
was nominated.
The district attorneyship will be the
big figAt of the coming municipal cleo
tons as the graft prosecutors allege
that the fight will be stopped unless
Heney is elected.
Heney, wno nominally a Repubi-
can, has never been the district attor-
ney of San Francisco but was retain

reform millionaires to assist District
Attorney LangdOn in the fight on the
graftors. He has been successful but
has never had the real powers of the
Office. The Republican party refused
to endorse Heney for election and his
friends persuaded him to become an
Independent candidate. AS he could
not run in the direct primaries on two
tickets, the Democratic, who favored
his nomination, failed to nominate a
candidate and simply wrote in his
name on the ballot insuring him suf-
ficient ballots to nominate him.
Fickert, his Republican opponent is
a young lawyer of little experience.
Tne fight is certain to be hot as the
grafters are said to have raised an i'm
mense campaign fund with which to
fight Heney.

ALAsKA's sLAcKGoLD
Her Coal Fields Said to Be Richer
Than Her Gold Reserves.

While Alaska's gold reserves are
large they are in No way unique
for refined gold is the same, what
ever the source. But when it comes
to coal fields says the American Re
view of Reviews, Alaska has no com
petitor Its store of high grade fuel
cannot be equalled in quality west OF
the Rockies
In fact to find anthracite and
! bitumnous coal which compares in
fuel value with that of Alaska one
must come east to Pennsylvania,
These Goals are, therefore, the key
to the commercial situation on the
west coast For high grade steam
ing coal used for manufacturing in
dustries or a merchant marine or 2
coke for smelters in the Western
states one must turn to Alaska.
Hence the growing population of
the West has a vital interest in the
development of these coal fields.
These Goals are of even national inn
portance. for of all our Pacific pos
sessions Alaska alone can supply our
DHtIIHS1lIS
The quantity of this anthracite
and bituminous coal is not as yet
determined but 1t certainly is not
unlimited and hence should not be
wasted. To use it. however, Will
not to be to waste it unless it be i'm
properly mined. A surveyed area OF
about 100 square miles is known to
be underlaid with these Goals, and 1t
is probably that further investigation
may show an extension of the field.
rough estimate of the quantity
within this surveyed area gave some
G OOO. 900 900 tons, or more than one
and half times the entire produc-
ton of Pennsylvania since coal min
ing began. It is fair to assume that
this coal is worth 81 a ton, which
would make its total value about for
Nv times as breat as the entire gold out
nut of Alaska to the present time. 1t
is probable therefore that the value
of the coal field exceeds that of the
gold reserves.
These Goals are, however, practl.
cally untouched, for the only coal
mining in Alaska is that of some
lignites for local use. few years
ago statistics showed that Alaska
entire export of coal for a year was
four tons while it produced fifteen
tons of gold. There are also some
bituminous Goals, though of less fuel
value. in the Alaska peninsula on
the Yukon and on the Arctic slope.
Ignite Goals and peat are abundant
and widely distributed and some OF
these possess great value for local
consumption.
