ment. 1t is announced that the de-
bate on the home rule question will

The trouble that has developed
from the effort to force the home
rule measure for Ireland through
parliament has so absorbed the at
tention of the members of that body,
that even the discussion Of the
repeal of the free tolls measure in
the United States for the coastwise
vessels of the Panama canal has
been unnoticed.
In case of a new election, 1t Is
announced that the radical wing OF
the liberal party will join forces
with the labor party Their motto,
it is announced, will be, THE aristo-
Gratis are against the people" The
liberal papers are demanding Cen
eral Healy's resignation.

Scores Of I eachers
Want to Come Here

Teachers from all parts OF the
United States are applying for
positions in Fairbanks, and there
are on an average of from 10
to 90 applications received by
the local school board in each
mail from the Outside.
Judge Adams, acting secretary
of the school board, explains this
by saying that part of it is due
to the passage of the railroad
bill and the desire on the part
of many people to come to this
city at the present time, and
also to the fact that the wages
paid to the high school teachers
here are the highest paid in the
United States.
The majority of the applica-
tions are from high school teach
ers. A year ago the number OF
applications was only about
third the number being received

Electric Soldier Is
New War I error

Wars newest terror is an auto
matte soldier which never sleeps or
eats. 1t lies buried in the earth
ready at the pressure OF an electric
button miles away to burst forth
and deal death and destruction over
an area of more than an acre.
The deadly fighting machine is the
invention of a Norwegian engineer
nd has been named for him the
Aasen mine 1t consists of metal
cylinder With a coneshaped top En-
closed in this are two pounds OF
new explosive more powerful than
anything now in use, and four hun
dred projectiles of various shapes
md sizes.
The mine is buried in the earth
AMI attached to it is an electric cable
which can be extended to almost
any distance An explosion can
be produced only by sending a cur
rent through the cable. Unless the
mines mechanism is put in motion
by an electric current it remains
perfectly harmless Rifle bullets can
be fired into it without the least
LANCER of it's exploding.
The force of four hundred pro-
iectiles can be built or understood
from the fact that they will pierce
fve-inch plank twelve yards
away. Even after they have traV-
eled a distance Of one hundred
Yards they still have power enough
to inflict death or serious injury.
In tests made in Norway one OF
these mines worked destruction
over an area of more than eight
hundred yards square. There
seems little doubt that two or three
of them exploded at the right places
could annihilate a whole army.

Mongrel erfier
Spells and Adds

From London comes the following
extraordinary story of a dog
Vic, a mongrel terrier, is credited
With marvellous powers. Although
he is quite a duffer at the ordinary
pet doggy tricks, such as sitting
up" begging" or extending limp
paw, he has the extraordinary fac
ulty of being able to spell the names
Of streets and do small arithmetic
sums, such a. adding, subtraction
and multiplication.
Vic belongs to Mr.. c. B. Leigh, a
scenic artist at the Nottingham
Theatre Royal, and he declares that
10 him Vic's tricks are inexplcable
and uncanny.
He has owned Vic since a puppy,
and the dog is now nine years old.
He has never attempted to train him
in the slightest degree, yet in sim
pie arithmetic and spelling Vic never
makes mistake Frequently in
banks he answers questions for any
stranger. If Vic is asked to add any
two figures he barks the total. He
spells any word or name by bark
ing the number Of letters.
Vic is fond of looking through
picture books and banks four times
if he thinks one good. but If bad
has very emphatic ejaculation
ready.
Mr.. Leigh says he can give no
explanation of the dogs extraordinary
powers.
