Mining Accidents

Sumner G. Smith, mine inspector for Alaska, has sent out the following cir cular letter to the miners and news papers of Alaska, for the purpose of giving general pu blicity to the accident bill passed by the territorial legislature so that immediately proper report may be made.
 Section 5 of senate bill No. g passed by the territorial legislature provides that, "Whenever serious or fatal &C., cident occurs ;n any mine it is the duty of the person in charge thereof to im- mediately notify the inspector at Juneau"
 As it is impossible to draw fixed line between serious and slight acci. dents this office will follow the practice of the federal bureau of mines, which classes, arbitrarily, serious accidents as those which detain an employee from his work three weeks.
 All fatal accidents or those whose very nature makes them serious should be reported immediately. If an acci- dent should appear slight at the time of it's occurrence, but should later prove serious enough to detain an em. Iployee from his work for three weeks complete report should be made.
 All reports should contain complete account of the accident, the mans name, age, nationality, occupation in or about the mine, and his previous experience, and in case of fatal acci. dent, the dependents left. The report should be accompanied by the sworn statements of those who witnessed the accident, and should there be no wit nesses, by the verified statements of those first present after the accident.

Alaska Volcanoes

The Geographic magazine says that the old sailors on the Atlantic say the weather has been different ever since the Mount Pelee disaster, and now comes much scientific testimony to show that the remarkable storms of the last few months, eliminating in the rains which have inundated the Ohio valley and which threatened the entire Mississippi waterway, from Cairo to the gulf, are the results of the eruption of Katmai volcano in Alaska, June 9th, 1912.
 ' The Katmai eruption was one of the most violent ever recorded. Owing to the remoteness of the volcano from civilization no lives were lost, but the territory in the vicinity of the volcano was covered inches deep with ashes, while the atmospheric disturbance was noted thousands of miles away. Thick haze was noted in various parts of the world, following the eruption of the volcano. Heavy rains fell and contin ued to fall during the summer. Prof. c. G. Abbott, of the Smithsonian in- stitution, who was in Algiers, making measurements of the amount of heat coming to the earth from the sun, first noticed the spreading of this haze on June 19, just 13 days after the eruption I in Alaska. Rains followed, and, to the surprise of the scientists, the hay weather, with succeeding torrential downpours, continued until Septem Der and forced an abandonment of the work. Prof Abbott found that the conditions had been the same at Mount Wilson, and presumably were world wide. It is shown by this scientist that the haze precipitated from Katmai was distributed all over the higher atmos- phere, remaining three months in sus- pension
 The direct effect of this would be loss of heat owing 10 the reflection and loss of the suns rays in the Ratmai "dust belt" Fortunately Prof. Abbott was equipped with the sort of appar- atus necessary for measurements, one being capable of measuring millionth part of degree of heat. He made ex- haustive observations and gives as his opinion that the volcanic haze very ap- preciabIy influenced the march of tenn peratrre in the United States. He be- lieves that it will be found eventually that temperatures are influenced sev- eral degrees by great periods of hazi- ness, such as those produced by the volcanic eruptions of 1883, 1888 and 1912, not to speak of the eruption of Mount Pelee in 1902, whose distribu- ton of haze he regards as rather local. A further question for science to de- termine is the length of time this haze remains suspended in the upper at. mosphere, working such climatic changes. The whole subject is one of vital interest, and it seems remarkable that more geuersl attention has not been devoted 10 it heretofore.

ADOLPHUS BUSCH, BEER
KING, WORTH S6O,OOO,OOO
Is DEAD-A GREAT CAREER
Sentinel special service.

aftNAai s9ClNlNC.
st. Louis, Oct. ia telegram
was received here announcing the
death at Langanschwalbach, Germa-
ny, of Adolphus Busch, the multi
millionaire brewer, by Adolphus
Busch, grandson, from his father,
August A. Busch.
Busch had been a sufferer from
dropsy for seven years. His son,
August A. Busch, left here few
weeks ago to join him at his castle
on the Rhine.
Busch's death was not unexpected
He had been falling in health for
three years. Busch was born at May
ence- on-the- Rhine, Germany. He
came to the United States in 1857,
Louis, March Z, 1861. He served
for four months in the Civil war in
the Union army.
Busch's wealth was estimated at
| SEQ, 100000. In addition to st.
Louis financial and brewery interests
he was heavy stockholder in rail-
roads and coal mines.
Busch first became connected with
the industry with which his name is
associated by obtaining a clerkship in
malt and hop storage house.
The brewing industry then was In
its infancy in America. Busch, who
had acquired a small brewery, intro
duced the modern method of bottling
beer for export.
Mr.. Busch's philanthropies were
numerous. one of his most recent be-
ing a gift of 10000 to Harvard
university for the establishment of a
Germanic institute. His most re
cent local benefaction was a gift OF
s25, 900 for the erection of a memo
+ rial to Carl Schurz. Emil Preetorius
and Carl Daenzer, German editors.
At the time of the San Francisco
earthquake and fire. Mr.. Busch con
tributed 100000 to the relief fund
He contributed heavily to the Calves
ton flood sufferers and $25,000 to
the relief of the Ohio valley flood
sufferers last spring.

HISTORIC HOME OF BEN
FRANKLIN TO Be TORN
DOWN FOR HOTEL SITE
Associated Press.

London, Oct. 13.-The quaint lit
tie house in Craven street, where
Benjamin Franklin lived in his more
prosperous days, and from which he
issued his delightful series of papers
called the Craven Street Gazette -
forms part of block of property
which has been purchased for the
construction of a large hotel, and,
unless immediate steps are taken to
save it, this historical building will
be torn down. An appeal has been
made to Americans to save the house
and a proposal will be made to the
hotel builders to include Franklin S
rooms within the new building.
The house is now conducted as a
small residential hotel, much fire.
quented by Americans. 1t bears
above the front doorway the follow
ing tablet. Lived here Benjamin
Franklin, printer, philosopher and
statesman. Born 1906, died 1890"
Here the great American philoso-
phere resided after he had served his
hard apprenticeship in London and
during the absence of his landlady,
Mrs. Stevenson, from home he enter
tanned his fellow boarders with the
issue of Whimsical series of papers
called the Craven Street Gazette" ="
One of the paragraphs was as fol-
lows: AT 6 O'Clock this afternoon
news came by the post that Her Ma
jesty (Mrs. Stevenson) had arrived
safely at Rochester on Saturday
night. The bells Immediately rung
for candles to illuminate the parlor;
the court went into cribbage, and
the evening concluded with every
demonstration of JOY"
The tablet was affixed to the
house, which has been rebuilt, but
in the same style as when Franklin
lived in 1t, by the Society of Arts, be-
fore the London County Council un-
dertook the work of marking the
one-time homes of eminent persons
in London. Franklin was not the
only famous resident of Craven
street. At various periods the poet
Akenside and Heinrich Heine lived
there, and James Smith, the author
of Rejected Addresses" died in a
house not far from the Franklin
house. In his Comic Miscellany,
Smith wrote:
In Craven street, Strand, ten attor-
neys find place.
And ten dark coal barges are
moor d at its base;
Fly Honesty Fly seek some safer
retreat,
For there's craft in the river and
craft in the street"
About this Sir George Rose wrote
the following lines:
why should honesty fly to some
safer retreat,
From bares and attorneys, d rot
'em?
For the lawyers are Just at the top
of the street
And the barges are just at the bot
TOM"
Business judgment rather than
sentiment probably will lead the ho-
tel owners to include the Franklin
apartments with in their new build
ing, as several historic houses of en-
tertainment in London pay heavy
dividends because American tourists
put up with bad food and poor serv-
ice on account of the historical asso-
Citations. And, moreover, some OF
these lack the historical authenticity
of the Franklin house.
