BROTHERS REUNITED BY FATE

A most unusual case developed in
McAllister hospital, Waukegan, ILL.,,
recently, when two brothers met for
the first time since they were chill
dren. They were forced to talk to
each other through an interpreter, for
each spoke a different language, one
Austrian, the other Lithuanian.
The two men are known in Wau-
kegan as Joe Petosky and Tony
Peske. The former is the Austrian,
while Peske is the Lithuanian. Fac.
tory accidents resulted in the hospital
reunion.
The brothers, when mere children,
were separated in their native land,
and while their parents were Aus;
trian, Peske was taken by a Lithuan-
ian family and reared by them, learn

Commercial Value Was Not Developed
in This Country Until After the
Centennial Exhibition Of 1879.


The first experimental philosopher
to discover that electric light could
be produced by a dry battery was Sir
Humphry Davy, who in 1910 exhibited
light three inches long, between car
bon points, before the Royal Society Of
London. But no commercial value was
attached to the use Of electricity as
an illuminant until more than half q
generation later. The Centennial ex-
hibition, held in Philadelphia in 1876
really marks the era Of our present
form of electric light, though electric
lights had been in use abroad prior
to that time. The exhibition OF mod
els and practical demonstrations Of
electric lights at Philadelphia in 1SY6

An Eskimo's DwelIina.

We do not look for any great amount of inventive genius among the Eski- mos, but for years they have employed a rather complete respirator. used In the preparation and taking of a vapor bath, as a means of protection from the dense smoke. This Eskimo respi- rator is little basket woven of twist ed strands of fine grass. It is placed with Its shallow side Il against the mouth, and a wooden peg. which arises from the center of the basket, is held between the teeth. For this purpose water is evaporated over a big fire in a very low hut, which Is tightly closed to keep in the heat. In
 this stifing atmosphere the employ ment of a respirator Is absolutely nec- essary,-London Globe.

NEW ALASKAN
 REPORT. ISSUED

West of Koyukuk and Yukon riy- ers in Alaska a large area has long remained geologically unexplored. In portion of this region an explora- tion party from the United States Geological Survey worked during the season of 1909, and the results Of the studies there carried on and ex- tended as far as Council, in Seward Peninsula, are set forth in Bulletin No. 449 just issued by the survey, The party composed of Philip S. Smith and H. M. Eakin, geologists of the Survey and authors of the re port, A. G. Winegarden, packer and cook. Supplies for a month were shipped to Nulato, the point from which the expedition set out and other supplies, sufficient to last the rest of the season, were sent to Nom and then transported to the mouth of the Koyuk and there cached to await the arrival of the party.
 The area traversed by this party was selected for survey because 1t was thought that the metamorphic rocks of the Seward Peninsula might occur within it, which would give presumption of the presence of gold deposits.
 In addition to exploring the region east of Norton Bay the party carried the topographic and geologic mapping into the southeastern part of the Se- ward Peninsula, thus extending the areas mapped by the Geological Sur vey in earlier years.
 The report Is a volume of 14O pages describing the topography and geology of the area and containing notes on its climate, vegetation, game and fish. Some 40 pages are devoted to the mineral resources-placer and lode gold deposits and prospects, and sil- yer, lead, copper and coal. It is il- mstrated with photographs and brief sketch maps and contains also top ographic reconnaissance map of south eastern Seward Peninsula, on the scale of 4 miles to the inch, colored geologic map of the same area, and a colored geologic map of Nulato-Nor- ton Bay region, on a scale of 8 miles to the inch. Bulletin 449 may be ob- taines on application to the Director of the United States Geological Sur vey, Wpashington, D. c.
