FINDS DEN OF
 BLACK FOXES

Andy Conrad, the Nelchina pros- pector, is one man in that district who feels that his summer has not been wasted even If he has been unsuc- cessful in his search for gold. While prospecting in the Talkeetna noun tains a few weeks ago he had the good fortune to come across the den of family of black foxes. The ami mals showed no fear and Conrad was able to get close enough to see that their fur was not in prime condi- tion, as it showed brownish tinge. He was fortunate in locating their den and has made preparations to take them alive and should realize a good price from some of the fox breed CTS. He will spend the winter trap ping in the Talkeetna mountains.

BURNING WATER.
Coal Wet Gives Much Larger Amount
Of Heat Than When Dry.

Coal Wet Gives a Much Larger Amount
Of Heat Than When Dry.
Dry coal does not produce as much
heat as coal that is considerably damp.
1t is, Of course, u fact that greater
heat makes the fuel more valuable, and
it Is essential to know how to secure
the most from ordinary fuel.
Coal that is to be burned III fur
mace. stove or Il CRATE for immedi-
ate heat will produce nearly one-fourth
more heat when wet than when dry.
Coal that is to be placed In a stove
or furnace to be closed up so as to
produce a long continued, moderate
heat will produce a little more than
one third more heat ii there is plenty
of moisture than can be secured If the
coal Is real dry.
Large Jumps Of coal can be soaked
in a pail Of water for half hour, and
the heat will be increased nearly one
Jumps are used in stoves tightly clos
ed. such as those known as air tight
furnaces.
Several pals Of water thrown over
a ton of coal will increase its value
greatly to the consumer. Coal will
burn briskly in wet and almost air
less mines, and it is said the heat is
intense. When there is a fire and the
coal pile burns it is difficult to drown
that portion Of the fire with water.
We might as we'll secure a little Of
the heat stored in burning water as to
permit it all to 60 unused.-Philadel.

Most Of us are wont to think Of the
beheadment us relic Of the dark ages.
but the last decapitation which took
place in the British isles was no later
than 1920. The victims were two IN
fOrtunates who had taken part in the
Bsnnymuir rising and were convicted
Of high treason. The sentence was car
ried out in Stirling. Scotland. The
headsman. who was masked and wore
serge gown, was small. nervous
man who did his work so badly that it
was not until the third stroke that he
decapitated one Of the unfortunates.
The assembled crowd yelled Murder"
and the miserable headsman was heard
to remark. II wish to heaven had not
it to do" For long time his iden-
tity was mystery. but it later devel-
oped that he was young medical stu
dent Of Glasgow. The AK and the
mask which he used on the occasion
may still be seen.-New York Sun.

FLU0RlME A RABID GAS.
Nothing Can Resist the Power Of This
Chemical Fury.

The fury Of the chemical world is
the element lluOrine, although. strange
~ enough. it exists peacefully in com
rany with calcium in huorspar and
also in Il few other compounds.
Although this element was known
aud named Il good while ago it long
resisted the efforts of chemists to iso
containing it was torn apart the free
fuorine attacked and combined with
whatever substance composed the YES
sci containing it. 1t was finally isOlat
ed by the great French chemist Mois
san.
l'luorine is a rabid gas that nothing
can resist. 1t combines with all met
ais. eXplosively with some, or if they
are already combined with some other
nonmetalic element it mercilessly
tears them away from it and takes
them to itself.
In uniting with sodium. potassium.
calcium. magnesium and aluminium
the metals become heated. even to red
ness. by the fervor Of its embrace.
Iron filings slightly warm burst into
brilliant scintillations when exposed to
it. Manganese does the same. Even
the noble metals. which at melting
heat proudly resist the destinations OF
oxygen. succumb to this chemical sireL
at moderate temperatures
Glass Is devOured at once and water
ceases to be water by contact with this
gas. which. combined with its hydro
acrid. glass dissolving hydrOf]uOric acid
and liberateS ozone.
Even hydrofiuoric acid eats into and
destroys every known substance ex-
cept platinum and lead.-Exchange.

STICK INSECTS.
They Sleep In the Daytime by Going
Into a Rigid Trance.

One of the most curious inhabitants
Of the insect world is what is known
as the stick insect. about which Pro-
fessor Schmidt of the Imperial uni
yersity of St Petersburg has been
making some strange discoveries.
This queer insect remains in quiet
state during the hours Of daylight
Until now it has always been supposed
that this was slumber. but Professor
Schmidt says it is really state of
catalepsy. or trance. which the insect
has developed as means Of protec
ton against it's enemies.
When in one of these frances the in
sects will remain for hours in most
abnormal misunderstanding on their
heads. fiat on their backs or with
their legs extended high in the air
and the body arched in the form of a
bow. Only some prolonged excitement
of the nervous system will rouse them
from this rigid cataleptic state. but
when the trance is over they show no
signs whatever Of muscular fatigue.
The stick insect passes all its days
In Il trance and feeds ut night on the
foliage Of plants where it nves.-Ex-
change.
