request that q small check be cashed.
She asked the man in the cage to

received the check and he would iden-
ttfy her. $500. 49, 80. -
The teller called up the man and
asked him to describe the woman. He
did 70 in the following manner: She
looked like the crankiest person in
Abe world. She was dressed In the

What would Americans say II they

though the distance between the send
or and the receiver was In many cases
only few miles.
During the siege of Paris by the
Germans in 1870 the postoffice admin
istration hit upon the expedient, In ad-
dition to the balloons, of inclosing let
ters in small zinc globes, water tight
and hermetically sealed, and dropping
them into the Seine. There they float

Germans, down the river to the French
lines, where a net stretched across
the river gathered them In, and they
were sent on their way.
Unfortunately for the French, the
Germans discovered the character Of
these zinc floats, and a. they could not
hope to see and nsh out by ordipary
means all the letters that went down
thus. they stretched across the river,
at villeneuve Saint Georges, a net OF
their own and effectually stopped this
system of postal communication.
The zinc balls and their use were
pretty nearly forgotten, when, some
years ago, a fisherman found in the
Seine, near villeneuve, a queer looking
globe Of zinc. With large knife he
opened 1t, and found 300 letters. still
legibile. and all dated December, 1S70.-

 E. $. Penn, general agent of the pas- senger department of the Canadian Pacific Railway company, yesterday received in the mails slip of paper found in bottle drifting in Yakutat bay, Alaska, which had been tossed overheard from H. M. s. Empress of Japan, H. Pybus, R. N. R., commander, on Feb. 26, 1908, at noon. The slip of paper gave the position of the Empress of Japan as latitude 50 degrees, 30 minutes north, longitude 137 degrees, B minutes west. The finder was in- structed in the message to forward the slip of paper to the chief of the United States weather bureau at Washington, D.C., explaining that it had been tossed overheard for experimental purposes in an effort to get accurate information as to the direction of ocean currents. The bottle was picked up by Indians, who turned it over to w. A. Leonard, a cannery man of Yakutat. The position of the Empress of Japan when the bottle was tossed into the sea was ap- proximately 900 miles west of the en- trance to Uuimak pass and about 100 miles south of the Aleutian islands, Seattle P..I.
 After leaving Alaska subsequent to his discovery of the Northwest passage, Roald Amundsen made the eXtraordin- ary prediction that the climate of Alas ka would become milder, and already this prophecy seems to be verified. Frank Waskey read the articles pub- lished by Waskey at the time and now recalls them. The famous explorer wrote that the great ice wedge which lay solid between the Arctic and At lantic oceans was constantly moving eastward and would eventually break away into the Atlantic. This. he said, would result in flowing of the Arctic waters into the Atlantic, rush of Bering sea water into the Arctic and the warmer waters of the Pacific into Boring sea. Such would mean, accord ing to Amundsen, a change for the better in Alaska's climatic conditions. The ice wedge spoken of was the re- mains of the solid ice which formerly surrounded the poles. To the remark able alteration that has come in our climate is added the fact that ice ap- peared in the Atlantic in unusual quan- titles and in peculiar conditions last year, and one result of the fact was the loss of the Titanic. MT. Waskey seems to think it most likely this was due to breaking of the ice wedge into the At- lantic. This seems to be far better explanation of the mildness of the climate than the story of the change of the Japanese current, and has the authority of the worlds greatest ex- plorer.-Nome Nugget.
