PrssEat Their Claws to Fishers Whe
 Shake Hands With Them.
 Visitors in Seville see women carry ing baskets full of crabs claws The claws are cooked, and people nibble at them more for fun than sustenance, just as Russians nibble sunhower seeds. What becomes of the rest of this crustacean. especially if he is crawfsh, of his tail?
 As a matter of fact the crawdsh has no part in the business. The claws are taken from salt water crab which lives along the shores of Mo- rocco, Spain and Portugal. Each little crab, with It's one little mate, has cave for a home, and, adopting the eastern estimate of the other sex. he usually keeps his wife shut Inside the cave, meanwhile staying about the threshold himself and making brave show with his big claws.
 When the tide runs out the crab fishers prowl along the beach looking for crab holes. Either the crab is stalking up and down seeking what he may devour and thus showing whether he has fine claws or he is still at home, and the size of his door way indicates the size of the house holder. In one case the fisherman cuts off hIs retreat by blocking his front door with mud; in the other case he digs him out. Anyway, he deprives him of his pincers and sets him at uberty to grow some more.
 Right here appears the quaintest fea- ture of the whole affair, for the pin cers are not torn away from the crab at all. Instead he presents them to the fisherman, perhaps even with his compliments. It Is a fact easily de monstrable that the crab can detach his claw by muscular effort, thus mak- ing no hemorrhage, but leaving the stump in such condition that new claw is soon grown. The fishermen simply take the crab by the hand, whereupon It lets go, leaves the claw with them and romps off home with out it-Chicago Record-Herald.

APPEAL FROM
 FAR OFF ALASKA

From out Alaska a call for aid has come to the Mining Congress. A mem Der of the new chapter recently or ganized in the northern territory makes a plea that should stir the blood of every lighting man in the organization.
 The cry for succor comes in the form of a letter from Harry Thisted, proprietor of the eordova House in Cordova. in which he acknowledges the receipt of his membership cer- tificate. He says:
 Certificate received. Thanks!
 "It will be framed and hung on the wall providing have wall to hang it on. Business and mining are in such shape that God will have to help the Alaskans, for we can't help ourselves and Congress won't Can you?

PRESSURE OF WATER.

It's Effect Upon a corked Bottle Low-
 cred Into Ocean Depths.
 A bottle partly filled with fresh water and tightly corked can be lowered into ocean depths, and on being raised to the surface 1t will be discovered on opening 1t that the fresh water has been replaced by salt
 This really extraordinary phenome- non is explained in the following way; The pressure of water increases as the distance from the surface in- creases. Thus at the distance of a foot beneath the surface the pressure of the water a square inch will be about half a pound; at a distance of, say, 200 feet 1t will be 125 pounds to the square inch. At ocean level the pres sure of the atmosphere is a little over fourteen pounds. Thus if bottle con taining air were lowered thirty feet be- meath the surface the pressure of wa ter would more than cOunterbalance the pressure of the air. Ordinarily at this depth, therefore, the pressure of water should be sufficient to drive the cork within the bottle, but the cork is tightly wedged in position. To squeeze 1t within the bottle it, too, must first be compressed, and also there is friction to be overcome.
 The distance varying, then, accord ing to these conditions, at some point beneath the surface the weight of wa ter will force the cork into the bottle compressing the air before 1t. The salt water of the ocean mingles with the fresh water within the bottle. As the bottle again approaches he surface the air that remains within Is sub jected to less and less pressure till finally. now having itself a pressure

 ance in relieving conditions which have become unbearable.
 The situation in the territory will be one of the vital issues of the com ing conventions. Partly to enable the presence of a strong Alaskan delegation the session was postponed The men comprising 1t will travel thousands of miles that through the Congress they may obtain a hearing before the people of the United State:
 We quote from letter received from Charles Estmere, Tditarod, Alas ka, under date of July 15:
 q am thoroughly in accord with the views of the Alaskan committee as expressed in the February Bulletin, and appreciate fully the amount of work they have accomplished, No one on the outside can appreciate the diff faculties such committee must labor under in this territory owing to the vastness of the country, the abnormal ly poor, I will say inexcusably poor mail service, and last but not least, the diversity of views of the indiyid- uals interested.
 Now with reference to the revision of the mi .eral land laws. We are all interested in that. You will perhaps remember that twy or three years ago I advocated a territorial commit tee, composed of one practicing en- gineer, one operator who must have been a prospector, from each record ing precinct, and one lawyer from each judicial district; all to have been not less than five years in Alaska and be elected by the people The purpose of such a committee would be to meet at some point in the ter ritory and recommend a mining law for Alaska.
 q am heartily in favor of uniform mining law for all the United States, but I am afraid that an exception should have to be made for Alaska, because of climatic conditions, the in- accessibility. to the mining sections at certain seasons of the year and many other existing conditions which it is practically impossible to make even to a miner in the United States, to say nothing of our legislators.
 Success to the work. Keep at 1t. I promise to take my turn shortly"

The soIar PIexus.

The Scriptural expression "bowels of compassion" is justified by the discov- cries of modern science, Whenever anything affects our nerves we feel 1t more or less in our ''innards" It is the solar plexus which Is concerned in such emotionalism. Of course in itself 1t cannot feel, but 1t sends messages to the brain, which inter- prets them as coming from there. The solar plexus is a mass of nerves and nerve structures in the abdomen at the back of the stomach.-New York Trib- une.

NHEN HER BBGE ACHES
A Woman Finds All Her Energy And
 Ambition Slipping Away.

Alaskan women know how the aches and pains that come when the kidneys fail make life a burden. Back ache, hip pains, headaches, dizzy spells, distressing urinary troubles, all tell of sick kidneys and warn you of the steaIthy approach of dropsy or Bright's disease. Deans Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. They at tack kidney diseases by striking at the cause.
 Can Alaskan sufferers desire stron CT proof than this woman's word?
 Mrs. Henry Raukos, 5O2 Vancouver Ave, Portland, Ore, says: Tt gives me pleasure to confirm my former public endorsement of DOan's Kidney Pills given in october, 1907. At that time I said that a member of my fam fly was troubled by attacks of back ache which prevented stooping or lifting. Doaus Kidney Pills disposed of the trouble in a short time. Since then I have taken this remedy for weakness and pain across my kidneys and it has greatly benefited me"

Counterfeit Dsteetors.

"Few men carry bigger roll than the professional detectoF of counter feits," said a receiving teller of one of the big banks recently. Each of these counterfeit detectors has a spe- cial license from the treasury depart ment at Washington which permits him to carry about 15O samples of counterfeit money. It is a felony to have counterfeit money in your pos session without proper authority. For each bogus bill the counterfeit de tector carries a genuine note of the same kind and denomination for the purposes of comparison. The total value of this good money that is car ried side by side with the bad is be- tween $4O,O0O and S5O,OOO. The bills run from a dollar up to S1,o00 in de denomination. New York Sun.

SOME people have the faculty of

young brakeman on the Lake Erie,
fell beneath the cars while switch
ing Monday just north of Jefferson
street in this city and met instant
death.
His head was cut off from the
body, his neck having evidently
struck squarely over the rail and
the cars passing over him. At the
time of the accident, Bodine was on
the top Of the cars. The engine
bumped into five cars to put them
south on the west track. As the
engine struck the cars, Bodine
jumped up to avoid the shock.
When he same down, he. missed the
car and fell to the ground. In his
jump he tried to jump from the car
nearer the engine to the car ahead,
which had been uncoupled for the
switch. The cars separated too far
for him to make the distance.
Only one man, fireman Charles
Thompson, on freight No. rs saw
