THE
 ALASKAN BEARS

About the shy and shrinking form of the black bear of Alaska. Secrc- tary Nagel has placed the protecting arm of the Department of Commerce and Labor Between the hunter and the brown bear of Alaska stands Secretary Wilson of the Department of Agriculture Each department is proud of it's particular bear; each sneer's at the others.
 Under existing law the Department of Agriculture is charged with the duty of protecting the game animals of Alaska The brown bear was named in the law as a game animal. The poor black bear was ignored. Now Congress has enacted a law for the protection of the fur seal Of Alaska, and for good measure it threw ill the words "other fur-bear- ing animals" and put the enforce ment of the law in the hands of the Department of Commerce and La bor That department promptly an neXed the black bear as a fur-bear- ing animal and proposes to protect him.
 Any time when a Cabinet meet ing grows dull the two secretaries may match bears and start some. thing
 My bear" the aged, but active secretary of agriculture may remark, lis the real thing in Alaska bears. He can lick any other bear in the | territory"
 Possibly" the secretary of Com merce and Labor may retort with dignified sniff, but at least the black bear is no trouble maker. He is well-behaved and industrious bear, attending strictly to his own | business. On the other hand, the brown bear is a pest. He is noisy, offensive. vicious. mcddlesOme and is prone to attack man without just cause or provocatiOn. The people of Alaska have passed resolutions against him"
 "MOllycOddle," the secretary of Agriculture may reply, and nature faker," the secretary of Commerce and Labor may ejaculate. The Pri- yate Secretary Norton may be called in to pry them apart
 Fierce and bitter is the bear fight that has been Waging of late in de partmental circles, quite unknown to the critics and governmental eX- perts whose eyes in recent weeks have been centered on Congress.
 This law provided that the secre- tary of Commerce and Labor shall have power to authorize the killing of any such mink, sable, marten, fur seal, or other fur-bearing animal un- der such regulations as he may pre- scribe"
 The enemies of the brown bear, who are also the friends of the black bear, made their representa- tions to Secretary Nageis depart ment through the fish commission, which body, by the way, is the di- rect arm of the department to han dle all matters dealing with fur bearing animals, including seals | North Star.

Up to this time l had never heard the word Tichborne III my life. l didn't know who he was, where he was, or where he came from, but 1 had often said to Slade and others that l was superior to the position l was holding, and Dick seemed to tumble to it.'
 At the very first it seemed to have occurred to Arthur Orton only as practical joke on his friend missing Tichborne. After this he got into the hands of lawyer named Globes and Globes insisted that he was Tichborne, and affected to disbelieve his protestations to the contrary. Thus beginning as a joke, deception which is one of the greatest in history, grew until it reached the enormous proportions that have just been described. First Orton learned all he could from Slade about Hampshire. Then he went to England. He pretended to recognize an old servant and from

BURGLAR PROOF SAFE
MADE TO HOLD RADIUM
Also Made Proof Against Loss
by Emanation

A remarkable safe. the first of its
kind ever constructed has been made
by an English firm of safe makers for
the British radium corporation 1t has
been specially constructed for the stor-
age and protection of radium, and while
only about feet in height it weighs
a ton and half. Great ingenuity has
been exercised upon the design and
construction in order to make it. as
far as possible, proof against the skill
of the most expert burglars and
against all risks of loss by emanation.
Experiments proved that practically
the only metal which would withstand
the great penetrating power of radium
emanations was lead, but as this was
not at the same time burglar proof
the only solution was to construct a
safe with an interior of lead and an
exterior of steel The interior shell
was made of three inch lead and the
outer easement of similar thickness
of steel.
Another difficulty was the fitting of
the door to prevent the escape of any
ray of light. This was secured bv
constructing a circular lathe turned
door which has dead" fit, and has a
specially ingenious contrivance for i'm.
mediately remedying any wear and
tear caused by opening and shutting
the door.
Another safeguard which had to be
taken was to prevent loss of emana-
lions when the door is opened. To
overcome this two valves have been
fixed into the door through which tubes
of mercury will be passed for the col
lection and storage of the emanations

MANY DIFFICULTIES
CONFRONT WINE MAKERS
Hot Algerian Winds Often Ruin
the Must

Wine making in Algeria presents
difficulties and problems unknown to
the winners of colder countries. In
Algeria distinction and difference must
be drawn between the vineyard Of the
hill and that of the plain. The grape
Of the plain ripens earlier than it's
neighbor. 1t must be placed sooner in
the press, with the result that the must
is ready for fermentation while the
season of the sirocco is still strong.
Up TO 1904 there was practically no
protection against the possible dire
results of the coming of the sirocco. If
the must were in the high process of
fermenting this sudden hot wind often
carried the temperature to a point at
which the must was ruined. The fer
mentation could neither be controlled
nor even modified and the content of
the vat was rendered valueless, but in
1904 the growers introduced refrigerat-
ing machines, which were successful in
keeping the fermentation below the
danger point of s9.6 degrees Fahren-
heit. But the use of these machines
was not within the power of all the
growers; first, because of their cost,
and, second, the water necessary for
their use was not always available. 1t
was found also. that the great fault of
the Algerian wines still remained, that
of insta bility.
At this time began also experime
in the use of metabisulphite of potas-
stun, a substance powerfully affecting
the bacteria of fermentation. II seems
that incomplete Transformation of the
grape sugar is not the only difficulty
confronting the vintner. After the wine
is made and placed in the watts for clar-
ification there occurs a phenomenon
technically known among the Algerian
growers as ia casse oxydasique" This
and les gouts de terror" (earthy
favors) are mentioned here as consti-
tuting dangers or disadvantages to
which the metabisulphite has proved
strongly inimical, as well as that of in
complete and undue fermentations.
NJ Bertrand, having experimental
with quantities of the sulphide as high
as go grams (3.17 ounces) per hectoliter
(2642 gallons) of wine, advises
against the use of such large quantities
except in emergencies While the wine
under such use clarifies very quickly to
a brilliant color and the flavor mel
lows" the fermentation takes eight or
nine days for it's completion, instead of
the usual four or five. During the for
mer period many difficulties may appear
which are avoidable in the shorter pro-
cess. A too large quantity may even
arrest the fermentation altogether. The
grower must be guided by the greater
or less maturity of the grapes, with
their consequent greater or less con-
tent of sugar and the temperature at
the time of their gathering.

CHAPLAIN LAMENTS
BAN upon CANTEEN
Rev. Father Waring of Eleventh
Cavalry Addresses Catholic
Total Abstinence League

BOSTON, Aug. 11.-Although he did
ment of the army canteen Rev. Father
George j. Waring, chaplain of the Elev-
enth cavalry, United States army, in
an address before the national conven-
tion of the Catholic total abstinence
union today implied that it's abolition
was a mistake
Father Waring declared that the SOL
dier was driven to drink largely by the
fact that practically he was barred
from high class amusement and re-
freshments, He added:
He has been deprived of a can
teen where he was accustomed to
get glass of pure beer without
going away from his home. and
where he could neither meet bad
company nor drink to excess He is
summed by all respectable people.
His self-respect is crushed within
him and he naturally enters the
only open door-that of the saloon.
Rev. Father Walter j. Shalley of
Danbury, Conn.,, former president of
the union, advocated political activity
on the part of the members of the
union to secure more drastic laws
against the liquor traffic and to combat t
the political work of the liquor in
terests.
Although Very Vev. Peter j. O'CaI-
laghan of Chicago, national president
of the Catholic total abstinence union,
announced yesterday that he was not
a candidate for reelection, it was gen
orally conceded today that his name
would be placed before the delegates
at the election of officers. In the event
of Rev. Father O'Callaghan declining
is was expected that Rev. Father j. B.
Moylan of Scranton, Pa, national
treasurer, would be nominated for
president.

APPLE SHOW AGAIN
TEMPTSBIGCROWD
Two Excursions Bring Visitors
Into Sebastopol From the
Rest of State
Especial Dispatch 10 The Call

SEBASTOPOI., Aug. 1.-THE apple
show continued a big drawing card to-
day, and from the time the mammoth
tent was thrown open to the public
this morning until it closed tonight
thousands of visitors wandered among
the pretty exhibits and viewed them
with delight. Two excursions came
into Sebastopol today and others will
be run to this city each day during the
remainder of the apple show.
One excursion train of seven coaches
came over the Northwestern Pacific
railroad from Willis and brought visi-
tors from all the way stations.
The second was a special bringing
the Sonoma County Retail Grocers' as
sociation from Santa Rosa, where a
convention was held today. The dele
gates to the latter were entertained by
the Sebastopol merchants association
and were shown many courtesies.
More than 500 persons were on the
excursion train from the north and they
were more than pleased with the beau
ties of the display made in the big
pavilion.
Seldom has a fair attracted so much
attention in its first year, but the ex-
cellence of this apple fair has been
such that its fame has spread far and
wide and thousands of visitors are in
terested in seeing the wonderful de-
signs into which the fruit can be ar
ranged. 1t is patterned largely on the
results attained by the Cloverdale cit
rus fairs, which was the pioneer along
this line of endeavor
The exhibits run the gamut of i'm
agination and the people of this city
believe that the coming year will see
them presenting an exhibition of much
greater excellence than the one which
is now receiving such unstinted praise
from all who see it. The directors of
the fair are planning at this time for
the fair to be given next year, and
among the things they are discussing
with great earneStneSS is the erection
of modern pavilion for holding the
exhibit. 1t is realized that the fair
this season is too large for the NAM
moth tent in which it is housed. There
is insufficient room for the spectators
to move about and see the exhibits in
comfort and the directors feel that
they must correct this evil at once.
On the opening night the crowds
were so dense surrounding the exhibits
that it was impossible for spectators
to move either way at times.
The apple fairs will do much more to
bring SebastopoI and the Gold ridge
section into prominence and make their
splendid products known than anything
else that could be suggested.
The citrus fairs held annually at
Cloverdale. have developed that section
wonderfully, and the apple fairs at
Sebastopol will do likewise for this
favored section.
