VILLAGES WERE WIPED OUT
Relief Tug crulzing Along Coast Of
Vale ano-strcken Sections Fails to
Find Any Signs Of Life.

Karluk, Kobiawk Island Alaska.
The relief tug Redonda arrived here
Saturday from a cruise along the
mainland at the foot Of Katmai vol
cano and reported that she was unable
to make a landing in that section be-
cause OF the extremely heavy deposits
of sand and ashes. No sign of life
was seen and those on the tug were
unable to recognize the location of
the fishing villages which were scat
tered along the coast line before
the eruption last week.
The Redonda carried such a small
crew that no attempt was made
TO hunt for the dead. A careful watch,
however, was kept for any who might
be living. When these on the tug
were satisfied there was no life on
shore, they put about and ran at full
speed across Shelikof strait to Karluk
where wireless messages were sent to
the revenue cutters and other relief
ships in the vicinity.

at the same time serves to preserve any
trunks that may be left temporarily
In the woods.
Unlike other saws. this Telling ma
chine will work freely even on the
thickest trees without requiring any
wedges to be inserted into the cut. for
instead of any shavings we have only
smoke and steam and hence there is
no danger of the cuts becoming oh
structed. The trees may be cut close
to the ground or even below thu
ground as far down as the beginning
of the roots will permit. In the latter
case the stump may be safely left IN
the soil. The electric motor that drives
the steel wire is placed where it is not
in danger of being struck when thu
tree falls.
While mechanical operation is in H.
self much more rapid than hand labor,
further dcce!eration is derived from
the absen of any intervals of rest be
tween two cuts. As Il new piece of
steel wire costing but few cents is
taken for each cut there is no loss Of
time due to the sharpening of saws.

crate the machine rs against two men

Short Lived Insects,

The wonderful brevity Of insect life
is curiously illustrated in the case Of
those that prey upon different species
of mushrooms. The life of the mush-
room itself is measured by hours, yet
it is often entirely ruined by an insect
which deposits it's eggs upon the fungi
while it is in the vigor Of youth. The
entire span of life Of this mushroom
insect is so brief that the grubs hatch
from the eggs and the creature be-
comes fully developed and capable of
laying eggs itself before the mush-
room dies, even though the latter's life
may not extend over a period of for
ty-eight hours from the moment it first
pushes through the soil.
