FORGOT DYNAMITE STICK.

James Mohalland started to burn
some rubbish about his home in
Veazie, Me-, the other day. He
rolled log up to the blaze and
thrust one end of it into the fire.
Then he sat down on the other end
and commenced tanning himself
with his hat. There was a deafening
roar and Mohalland sailed through
the air, landing heavily among the
trees in nearby grove. The end
of the log which had been placed in
the fire contained a portion of a
stick of dynamite which had been
used in blasting some time before
and Mohalland had forgotten all
about it. He was unhurt.

LIGHTNING ROD HAS VALUE
Statistics Show That Il Affords Pro.
lection to Buildings, According
to Wall Street journal.

Temperance of the lightning-rod
agent can soon be expected. Accord
ing to bulletin of the Ontario de-
partment of agriculture, thirteen
years of Investigations demonstrate
that lightning rods are now 9419
per cent efficient in the province. In
the state of Iowa they are 98.1 per
cent efficient and in Michigan 1913
per cent.
Total lightning claims paid by in
surance companies on rodded build
ings in Iowa during eight years was
only $4,464, while on unrodded
buildings, which were of the same
number, they paid $341,O65, In On
tario, out of every 200 farm build
ings insured AZ are rodded. Yet out
of every 200 struck by lightning in
1912 only three were rodded build
ings.
But don't let the agent put up
rods that run through glass insula-
tors. According to the Ontario bull
letin, they should be in metallic con-
nection with the building and no in
sulators should be used. - Wall

RENEGADE AMERICANS
 IICOTED AND KISSED

NEW YORK Oct 1.-Nine hundred refugees, many of whom have been away from the United States for more than a decade, returned today on the steamer Co., lumbia, which was chartered by the gov ernment to bring the Americans from sev- eral of the countries on the other side of the Atlantic which are involved in the war Many of the returning passengers reported to the customs officials that they had been abroad fifteen years, having prac- tically made their home abroad.
 The fact that so many of the refugees had virtually renounced their allegiance to the Stars and Stripes before the outbreak of the war, and then had appealed to the United States to rescue them from their adopted countries, provoked expressions of contempt from the thousands who were at the dock when the steamer arrived. As the refugees came down the gangplank they were jeered and hooted as unnaturalzed citizens.
 Some of the refugees had been absent so long that they could not remember m which state they were born.

MAIL ARRIVES FROM SEWARD

The second consignment of mail over the Seward trail reached here on Thursday evening It consisted of limit load, much of which was second class. It is stated that much mail is yet at Seward, steamship having arrived at that port the day before this consignment left, but owing to the lack of help in the Seward postoffce 1t was impossible to assort 1t prior to the departure of the Iditarod mail The Seward Gateway says:
 "rhe mail for the Idtarod is now com ing through Seward, and has been piling up in the postoflice. Postmaster Hickey says that the accumulation of the mail has caused a serious congestion in the office, as the amount of space provided is not sui llclent for all the purposes. The Iditarod mail must also be worked over in this office so that the staff is somewhat over crowded, particularly when the mails going in different directions and coming for the various places must be handled together The amount of mail for the Iditarod which has now accumulated in the local office Is about seventy five or one hundred sacks MT. Boyd, the carrier, says the trail is in poor shape at present, more than two feet of fresh snow having fallen on the Moore creek divide

TIMES CORRESPONDENT SAYS
 BRITISH ARE JUST STARTING

LONDON, Oct H.-The Times military correspondent, replying to tke trankfurter Zeitungs statement that Great Britain Wa5 unable to raise more than 600,O0G troops, says:
 We have at the present moment exactly double that number namely, l,2OO,GOO, and the number grows almost faster than we can cope with them. It is our way, as well as that of America to begin to raise our army after war breaks out, and to go on raising them until our ultimate ends are achieved.
 "With 100000 men at home, the army in the field and the hundreds of thousands forming in India, Canada, Australia and elsewhere, are merely the nucleus upon which other armies will eventually be built,
 ''It is only a question of time. It stands to reason that an empire of 400, ,O00,OOO can never lack men, This war for us has hardly begun. We have sent merely an advance guard into France In the spring the re- mainder of the advance guard will follow, and somewhere near the end of 1915 the main body will begin to come within View.
 'We are sorry for the allies that we are even slower than the Russians in making our weight felt, but year or so hence when the allies need a rest, we shall be in condition to make good war.
 ''Nothing can arrest the steadily ascend ing figures of our army. Their cost IS of

STORY OF DESTRUCTION
 OF GERMAN VESSELS

LONDON, Oct. I9-The Post publishes a dispatch from Harwich dated October IS, on the return to port of the British war ships which vanQuIshed four German tor nedo boat destroyers in the North sea Sat urday, The dispatch says;
 Bearing battle honors proudly, the cruiser Undaunted this afternoon led into Harwich from the North sea destroyers which participated in the engagement Sat urday, the result of which was the sinking of four German destroyers. The spectacle ashore and aHoat was a moving one. Sail ors, soldiers end civilians swarmed to the pier and to points of vantage, cheering the vctOrs.
 interviews with members of the crew of the Undaunted show that this vessel, to- gether with four torpedo boat destr0vers left Harwich Saturday morning and sighted the Germans in the afternoon. By nuc seamanshiD the enemy was forced to fight The German destroyers faced the odds bravely. With her big guns the Undaunted opened fire at range of five miles. Then the smaller vessels closed in and became busy.
 Then began a running fight. While the cruisers, protected from torpedoes by her fighting consortS, devoted her attention par ticularly to two of the enemy's ships, the destroyers attacked the other two. The reply from the Germans was poor in com parison. The first of the enemy's craft sank after half an hours fighting. Within an hour and a half the battle was over
 "One sailor pays tribute to the pluck of the Germans They fought well, he said, and kept on firing until they sank This accounts for the smallness of the number of German survivors.
 'The destroyer Loyal brought back three British wounded together with the bodies of four Germans men and one German officer who had succumbed to their injuries on the way
 From another source it IS related that traWlar sighted the German destroyers be- fore the British fleet came up. When the German boats saw the enemy they made frantic efforts to escape. The British ships came rushing forward at full speed and be- gan the engagement as soon as they were in range.

PRESS MAN
 ON RELIABILITY OF NEWS

In writing to the Gateway, J. B. Nelson representative of the Associated Press for the Northwest, says that very little news of 8 reliable kind, or what could be called real news, is being issued officially by the governments at war. He says in a letter of October ,
 1t is really hard to get fresh stuff from all points. Today we do not know what is truly taking place at Antwerp, at Cracow, and in Bosnia The French official reports are absolutely truthful. So are the British official reports, but the latter are very brief. Tie Austrian official reports and those of Servia are practically worthless. The Rus sian contain congregations, and the German official reports are none too trustworthy, The censorship seems to be increasing. - Seward Gateway.
