 SOUTH 0F NOME

sEATTLE.Jan. S-A cable message was received here yesterday from Nome Alaska, saying that the gaso- line schooner Duxbury is beached on the shore of Boring Sea and that the crew is making it's way south over the ice. It is not known whether the Duxbury was wrecked or was merely caught in the ice and beached by her crew until the return of warm wealth CT. The Duxbury registers only 2S tons, but was built especially for wor in northern waters. She left Nome for Seattle the middle of November and was bringing a cargo of furs, ivory and whalebone valued at more than $lO,OOO. She is in command of Captain Jacobson and carried a crew of six men.

Casey Moran, formerly of the Post Intenlgencer staff, who is now in Chi cago boosting Alaska and incidentally writing for the Post, has attributed new wonders to the wireless tele- graph. Caseys story is told in the Post under date of December 14, how his friend, Texas Slim" received a wireless message on his flesh by means of an electric belt Casey began:
 q like to see every encouragement given to modern inventions, but tell you that wireless telegraphy is dan gcrous. especially in the vicinity of mountain passes, where thare are sta, tions on each side of the range.
 No. I won't say that can cite instances where harm has come to anyone, but I know that wireless message going through the air was tapped by man, who received the message on his body.
 "One winter on Birch creek, Texas Slim and were on our way from the Panama to Harrison creek on a pros pecting trip. We had reached the sum init of Twelve Mile pass after hard pull. for there were no dogs, when Slim suddenly threw up his hands an motioned for me to keep still. Sims actions didn't look good to me, as I thought he had gone trail loco, but when he said ssh I did.
 After looking for a minute or two at me, Slim began to smile, and it grew until finally he let out a yell that scared me nearly out of my moe casins. Then he screamed Casey, we're ricbH and began doing dance and yelling louder than ever. You know such actions as that out on the great white trail in the North don't

HAS ALL LIFE 0N MARS CEASED /?

LONDON, England.-Fresh changes of an extraordinary nature are report ed in Mars by the Journal of the British Astronomical Association, which says that the Planet during September was nearer the earth than at any time since 1892, and in a fay. orable position for observation.
 The phenomena observed, says the Journal, are altogether without paral. Tel in the records of the past. Vast changes have transformed the appear ance of Mars. A gloomy yellow veil has enshrouded immense tracts of the Martan surface, obllterating the markings, and changes now in prog ress on the surface of Mars are of exceptional interest in view of the theory developed by Professor Lowell that Mars is inhabited by a race of living beings. He argues that the canals of Mars are works constructed by a dying race menaced by starya.

 It is suggested that if the mark ings have recently disappeared and the yellow veil has covered immense tracts on the surface, there must have been some catastrophe on gigantic scale or some cataclysm such as dwarfs the most violent earthquakes known on our planet.

POSTAL BANK PLANS
System Will Be lnsuguratsd ir
October

October
Washington, Aug. 3.-The postal
savings bank system for which the
necessary provision was made at the
last session of Congress. will be put
into operation by October Is or Nov
ember l at the latest. AS the plans
stand at present. however, the new
banks will not be put at once into cit
les of the first class but will be tried
in post offices of the second and third
classes. 1t is pointed out that II
postal savings were received at the
beginning in the big offices the cost
of administration would limit the In
PRODUCTION of the system to a CON-
lparatively few cities, as the appropri-
alton made available for the current
fiscal year was fixed at 100000. The
officials declare that the cost of adj
ministration will be greater in cities
of the first class than in cities of the
second or third class. The indica-
! lions are that at the beginning one
town in each state will be designated
as postal savings. bank. Towns
will be selected where the cost of ad-
ministration will be reduced to a min
imum. Later, when a larger appro-
| priation Is made available by Con.
gress the system will be more gener-
ally extended.
1t is by no means an easy task to
set up in the banking business. One
serious problem is involved in the eff
fort to do away with the individual
pass book. Up to date no satisfactory
substitute has been proposed for the
pass book. II the pass book is adopt
ed. as now seems probable officials
say that the extension of the postal
bank system will ultimately make the
central Office in Washington the lar
gest department of the governments
service The pass book would re-
quire bookkeeping in each bank and
the maintenance of a large clerical
force in this city. With the bank in
operation in the large cities and in
hundreds of cities of the second and
third classes II Is estimated that the
number of individual deposits would
aggregate ten million in compare
lively few years.
One device proposed as a substitute
for the pass book is open to one SER
ious objection in that it would bring
into use new form of currency. This
| plan provides for a registration Of de
: posts on a card to be carried by the
deposition This card, it is proposed
shall not bear the name of the deposit
tor. 1t is recommended that it shall
| be accepted as evidence that deposits
have been made. AS the card would
be transferable the adoption of such
a plan, Ii Is urged, would result in
the postal savings cards being used
as currency, thus defeating in a meas
ure the object sought In establishing
the new bank namely, to encourage
savings among people who are timid
) about trusting existing banking insti
tutions with their money. Approx
n lmately $50 postmasters have asked
U that their Offices be designated as pos
tai savings banks and 700 nationa
bankers want their institutions desig
|. mated as repositories for postal say
ings.
