tomatoes throughout winters. Ii would
be necessary only to drop Il nice ripe
tomato into his Timing solution and ii
would come out coated with tin and
would keep for twenty years. In fact.
there wasn't any reason why it should
not keep forever. The young inventor
figured it would cost him 30 cents Il

1t surely would sell for 81 Il gallon.
Every one eats tOmatOeS-that is. near
" every one. Everybody would eat
them if they could always have nice

ought to sell a million gallons year.
That would be Il profit of 4 million and

toes are Oh the market yet. and the
man who invented them is still making

The moral of this is that whenever
you hear Of IA great idea that is going

sure that it is not of the tin plated

RIVERS OF ALASKA.
The Waterway Wonders Of This In
m0nso Territory.

The Waterway Wonders Of This In
msnss Territory.
Were the rivers not navigable there
would be little done in the interior OF
Alaska today First used by the pros
pector In his polling boat and the trad
er with his little steamer. they have
become the means Of opening up every
camp that has been struck In the in
terror Of Alaska.
The Yukon Is very shallow at its
mouth. which Is about seventy miles
in width across its delta. There are
places 400 miles from the mouth OF
the river where the biggest Atlantic
liners could navigate with ease. for
there are sOundings which show q nine
ty foot channel in q mile wide river.
The Yukon Is navigable for 2. 100 miles.
The Kuskoquim. sister stream, has
been navigated only on the lower
reaches, but with its navigable branch
es Is believed to have 1000 miles Of
navigable water. The Tanana has
been ascended for 500 miles and the
Koyukuk in excess Of that figure.
Scores Of other streams can be used
by small steamers for from twenty-five
to 200 miles. Altogether it IS safe to
say there are 5000 miles of navigable
streams in Alaska The Yukon opens
for navigation the latter part Of May
and closes the latter part Of October.
But with all its wealth Of gold. Its
unheard call to toilers Of the soil. Its
mountains studded with gems Of rich
es-the lOdes Of veins Of copper and
other materials-this empire starves
for the one thing that would make II
thrive.-COllier'S.

the gears then in use in steam prOpul

small screw propeller constructed anc
fastened it to the armature shaft o.
his small motor. To his surprise the
experiment resulted in q fine breeze OF
cooling air which more than delighted
the experimenter, for the day was de
cidedly hot. 1t is needless to add thai
the experiments with screw propellers
ended right there. and the engineer
took up the study Of the electric ian
with the result that he soon perfected
the device until it was a commercial
success.

leading characters Theron l'aiTi:'e. Az
early copy of the book fell int" tn
hands Of the Rev. Luther I'ar,!ec. ::i
Episcopal clergyman of Chicago. Whose
father was named Thereon Fartles.
The name is such al unusual cOmbina-
tion that in amazement the rector
showed the book to his father. and
they were both puzzled by the coinci-
dence. They decided to write Judge
Tourgee and ask him what had led him
to use the name. He replied. in equal
amazement. that he had not supposed
there was such q man living as Il The
ron Parilee. Then he stated that he
had q prolonged search for a suitable
name for the character of his story
one that would express just what he
ima91Ded this character to be. II the
course Of the hunt an old copy Of the
curriculum of Union college had fallen
into his hands. 1t was dated 1879. or
something as far back. and among the
names of the students was one Thereon
Pardee The judge said it had i'm
pressed him as being one Of the rich
est, most solid and most satisfying
names he ever had heard. so he decid-
ed to adopt it for his character. The
curriculum was so old that he had no
hesitation in using the name. and he
was astonished to learn that the right
full owner Of it was living. His expla-
nation was accepted and the resulting
acquaintance was pleasing all around

Of Cincinnati and the middle west he
was extremely generous in tipping off
his friends to ''sure winners" One
man who enjoyed his confidence and
played the horses according to the ma
jor's advice lost all his ready money
and finally succeeded in reducing him
self to the point where he had to sell
out his grocery business.
One afternoon. following the placing
Of his last ten dollar note as the major
advised. he caught Banks by the arm
and said tragically:
major, you've made me lose my last
cent. I'm a pauper. and my wife and
family are practically starving. am
now about to so down to the river and

Tho Name Noah.

Not many persons are sufficiently ac-

Noah was the name Of a woman as
we'll as Of the patriarch. At an inquest
In England female. witness gave her
Christian name as Noah" The cOro-
ner remarked that he had never before
known woman to bear the name.
whereupon the witness. who was well
posted in the origin Of her singular
prenomen. said:
1T is Il Bible name. sir; you'll find 1t
in the last chapter Of the book Of Num-

made Of "Mahlah. Tirzah and HOslah
