ATHENA. ORE. SEPT. %, 2,.....l91

The Portland Journal does ex- Gov
ernor Moore of Walla Walla the just
ice of doubling that he is correctly
quoted. A man of pleasing personal
ity apparent poise and graceful speech,
it seems Incredible that he should ex-
press the possibility of a republic to
Ee formed Of Pacific Coast states, and
all because Alaska is not opened on a
basis Of present laws. The Journal
cannot believe that there can be re.
volt, revolution or even a breach of
the peace over the Alaskan situation.
now or hereafter. Indeed, the Journal
believes that 80 per cent of the people
of the Pacific states do not want Alaska
opened on the terms proposed by Gov
arnor Moore. What is wanted by the
plain people of the coast who are all
paying $40 ton for "a coal is the
opening Of Alaska on suoh terms that
they will get 81 coal for 81. This
cannot te done if a single syndicate or
combination of syndiOates is TO have
ownership and possession Of Alaska
coal lines, Alaska railroads. Alaska
terminals and Alaska steamer liues.
In any choice between the two plans it
is very probable that for every Gov
ernor Moore on the side Of a syndicat-
ed Alaska, there is on the other side
100 or 1000 plain and patriotic
American citizens. If Secretary Fish
Ell should succeed in opening Alaska
on plan of 81 coal for $4, and if
those of Governor Moole's way of
should move that the Pacific
Coast states secede from the union as
result, il is further happy fact
hat secession would be buried under
Jallots hundred tathoms deep.

An Experiment Which Shows a oort of
Perpetual Motion Effect
A novel experiment in the demon
stration Of perpetual motion is to be
performed simply. y glass beaker
about six inches high and four inches
in diameter IS filled with water to
the height Of about four and half
inches, and two and one half to three
ounces of commercial aniline are add
ed, which will sink to the bottom of
the vessel.
The temperature Of the beaker and
its contents is now raised to 40 or
175 degrees Fahrenheit by means Of
burner, when 1t will be observed that
the Nniline will rise to the surface of
the water, from which 1t will hang in
mass of curved outline. Almost i'm
mediately the suspended aniline COM
menccs to alter in shape, and grad
ually large drop an inch or more In
diameter detnches itself from the
mass and falls through the water.
And now, the detached drop having
fallen to the bottom Of the bcaker,
comes the surprising part of the eX-
pertinent, The fallen drop is seen
gradually to rise to the surface, where
it joins the mass from which it pre-
viOusly broke away. At once another
drop commences to form and, having
become detached, falls and rises in the
same manner as the previous drop.

water is maintained Mt 10 degrees

COAST DEFENSE.
Concrete Forts and Big Guns Thot
Protect Our Sea Line.

protect Our Oed IIHes
The modern SeacOaSt fort IS pat
| terry whose guns are protected In front
and flank with enormous monoliths OF
concrete, covered, in the sides exposed
to the fire, with sand enough to de-
fleet projectiles before they reach the
concrete, says the Engineering Maga-
zine. Deep down in the interior OF
these huge masses Of stone are placed
the magazines and operating rooms re-
Quircd for the service Of the batteries.
They are simply caves in stone, arti-
fetal, to be sure, but as permanent as
the everlasting hills. 1t Is weird and
uncanny to reflect that in one Of those
caves, scintillating with the highest
resources Of science, men stand over
4 drawing board on table and prac-
ideally see and plot on chart every
and position of the ships of
4 hostile fleet and flash forth to the
gunners in the open such instructions
for pointing their guns as enable them
to make consecutive bullseyes on a
target G,000 yards away or from groups
of great twelve inch rined mortars to
make Al per cent Of hits with hocks
of projecties on the deck Of moving
target anywhere within range.
1t Is vastly important that such
rooms be made as comfortable as pos
sible for the strained human intel
lccts working out their country's de-
fense within them. But to make them
comfortable is difficult problem. In
the United States the first modern bat
teries were completed during an
exigency caused by the war with
Spain. But since their completion
during the warm and humid months
of summer and early fall their gal
leries, magazines and service rooms
reek with moisture. Water stands in
great beads upon the walls and cell
ings, from which it drips down to form
great pools upon the floors, and they
are not safe places for either human
beings, ammunition or material Of war
To remedy the evil many eXpedients
have been tried and much valuable
experience gained. But the problem
is beset with difficulty.

Lazy Rird..

The "mound fowls" Of Australia
and New Guinea construct mounds
of decayed leaves for their nests.
In these the eggs are laid and COW
cred over with the same material.
The warmth cngcndercd by the de-
composition Of the leaves causes the
eggs to hatch, and the young in due
time burrow their way out to life
and the open air. These birds are
regarded as the LATEST of all the
feathery kingdom. Next to them
come the common blackbirds OF
America for laziness. These black
birds never build nests Of their own,
but lay their eggs in the nests Of
other birds and leave them to be
hatched by foster mothers. This is
an unfortunate imposition on the
