Sprinkler Operated by Temperature
at l43 Begins Action.

CHICAGO. June 1O.-Perhaps the most
curious freak OF the record-breaking
performances Of the mercury yesterday
occurred In a big downtown department
store just before closing time The
automatic sprinkler syste n in the store
suddenly opened its flood gates and be-
gan to work as energetically as if the
store had been on fire. For twenty
minutes the device sprinkled away
whilo watchmen raced about looking
for stopcocks. The sprinkler a was
gagged to 60 into action at 143 degrees
or higher. while the temperature on the
street level reached maximum of only
10l degrees.

In the organ proper are 1000 pipes and
sixty-one speaking stops. and there are
four manuals and pedals. The front pipes

ones visible. The machinery is in the
ceiling ana above the highest point OF the

3la horsepower electric motor. In the
echo organ there are COO pipes and ten
speaking stops.
One feature on the console for the bene-
fit of the player Is an electrically con-
trolled oubination system, for the quick
manipulation Of the stops. By simply
pressing button all the sixty-one stops
on the main organ. or any combination
of them. can be pulled out or pushed in
The Clark organ is said to be the first in

Echo Organ Invisible.

The instrument is not very large, one
of it's principal features. in fact. being its
concentrated area.
Hidden behind the Caen stone grill of
the ceiling in the north wing of the main
gallery. and totally invisible, is the echo
organ, considered the most remarkable
feature OF the organ. The chimes ring
ing out from the hidden source particu-
larly delighted the critics present and
with the vox mystica of the echo organ
were declared to be the most perfect ever
heard.
Senator Clark spared no expense and
eyerv thing is selected MATERIAL, said
Albert Scott Brook. in explaining the
beauties of the instrument. Consequent
lv the effect is the most exquisite ever
produced. It is the largest and most
wonderful chamber organ in the world.
excepting none 1t is difficult to say just
what II cost, but it must be about

NEW YORK. June 1O-senator w. A.
Clark of Montana formally opened last
night his one-hundred-and-twent
sand-dollar organ. the largest chamber
organ in the world. 1t Is set up in the
main picture gallery OF his new mansion
at 5th avenue and nth street, and he
had invited to a recital the foremost or
ganists and musicians of the city. The
senator personally received his guests
and no other members of the family were
present.
The house. which has been for nine
years in the process of building. was in
no sense open. Only a few rooms were
lighted. and 1t was said that the interior
decorations will not be completed until
the fall when there will be a regular
housewarming From the outside. in
deed, last night there was no evidence
that strains from what the musicians
present declared to be the most tone
perfect organ in the world were being
poured out.

Begin as Apprentices.

The natives are taken into the service
as apprentices and given four years of
instruction in caring for the deer. At
the end of the first year they are given
six deer for themselves, then eight and
ten on the succeeding years and ten more
at the end of the fourth year. Va'u:ng
the reindeer at s2o each. they now rep
resent capital OF S6SO.1.a. The reindeer
industry affects a grea! area.
The northernmost post is at Point Bar
row. latitude % north. The southern
most post is Ugashik. and the area
stretches east and west from Cape Prince
of Wales to Tanana. on the Yukon.
There are 16I apprentices and .n7 owners
and herders among the natives.
Altogether. il is estimated that 3.,an
natives are affected by the industry. OF
the total number of deer, III per cent

Children Greatly Interested.
Work Systematized.

The children appreciated the treatment.
once 1t was done. and after a while there
was board cleanliness appointed
among the scholars. and when the teacher
had a dirty scholar the case was sub
mitted to the board The verdict always
was. Soak 'em in warm water an scrub
'em good" This was done. and the zone
of cleanliness spread.
Often the scholars would bring their
fathers and eloer brothers for sanitary
treatment, and while the method is not
supposed to be included in the public
school curriculum in the states. the mis-
sionary work was always extended. The
teachers found more trouble with the
mothers than with the men, as they re-
fused to allow their heads to be touched
The bureau of education keeps up a
medical service among the natives with
regular contract doctors, travelling nurses
and arrangements with the local hosp
tails. The experiences OF some of the
nurses have been hard. The natives arc
subject to tuberculosis more than to any
other one disease. The conditions under
which they normally live are most in
sanitary. The nurses not only have to
nurse and render surgical treatment un-
der the most adverse circumstances. but
they We're often thwarted in any effort to
get the natives to clean up their homes.

Many. Small Homes.

Some OF the houses consisted of only
one room, in which there We're from
eight to sixteen people. usually with sew
eral consumptive cases among them The
windows were kept sealed all the time
and the stove red hot. The floors were
filthy. and everything for which there
was no other place gravitated under the
beds.
In many OF the villages. however, the
natives have been taught to clean up and
improve their houses. When they under
stand the reasons for sanitation they try
to keep clean. and there is now some at
tempt made to isolate the tuberculous
cases.
Some idea of the way the work of the
school teachers is enlarged over that of
teachers in the states is shown by the
fact that sixty-eight teachers rendered
medical assistance 14.153 times in the
course of year
The report on the work o. the reindeer
service was considered very satisfactory.
There have been altogether 1.2SO reindeer
imported since the beginning of the eX-

HARD LINES FOR TEACHERS
Native Children Interested in Rules
of Cleanliness, Health and
Vegetable Culture.
lard LINES FOR TEACHERS

Haircuts, insecticides and sanitary
training are the principal subjects of the
report of the bureau of education for
Alaska this year. The report is of a very
practical sort. and indicates that the
natives. while learning slowly. are really
taking to the ways of civilization and ac-
quiring some of the good features instead
OF only the bad. as is usually the case
with natives thrown in contact with
whites
Vegetable raising in latitude 63 degrees
north is a rather arduous undertaking,
but at juneau. Cnalaska. Rampant and
Eagle the native school children have
been shown how to clear ground and
plant vegetables. In all of the schools
the teachers made hotbeds, usually by
taking some OF the window sashes from
the school building and with these frames
they were able to start vegetables that
would mature out of doors during the
short summer season.
Children Greatly Interested.
The pupils have shown great interest
In the work. and i'm many of the homes
there are private garden patches and
even flower beds made after the plan
shown at school,
There are, altogether. seventy-seven
government schools in Alaska. with an
enrolment of over 1900. The hardest
work has been to show the elders the
need of cleanliness and sanitation. In
many of the villages. according to the re-
ports OF the individual teachers. the chill
dren began school life with their faces
and hands tolerably clean, but with their
necks. ears and heads in unspeaka Bile
condition. Many of the school teachers
were young women They reported that
they had to round UP their scholars. cut
their hair and soak their heads in kero-
