Throughout the tertiary formations
from the upper eocene onward, there

lines. retaining other skeletal features
of more primitive type of cats.
These were the machaerodontinae

WINDOW GLASS DECAYS.
II Gets So Brittle In Time That It May
Be Cut With Shears.


1t is generally supposed that glass is
practically immortal But 1t has been
demonstrated that glass exposed to the
elements will decay and in time be-
come so rotten that 1t is worthless.
Window glass exposed to the heat
and cold and varying winds WILL after
a number of years, become 80 brittle
that It can be cut with pair Of
shears. II Is said that light and dark.
ness have different effects on glass.
and this alienation alone will cause 1t
to become fragile and In time worth
less.
1t Is almost impossible to remove old
windows from a building without
breaking many of the panes OF glass
New glass can be handled with much
more cnrelessness.
There is certain elasticity to new
glass that leaves glass which has fac.
ed the weather for number of years.
Street takers who travel throughout
the country selling scissors will obtain
a lot OF old window glass and show
the crowds how wonderfully their
shears will cut by clipping OF strips
Of the glass just as n person would
cut paper when In fact the feat IA
due to the fact that the glass is actu
ally rotten. Harper's Weekly.

At Sea In a Coffin.

1t was the French assassin Lupi who
escaped to sea from Cayenne in q cof-
dr. He managed to get some nails, tar
and cotton, and one dark night he got
into the coffin shed. He selected a fine,
stanch and seaworthy coffin and fas,
tened the lid in order to turn 1t into a
deck, leaving a cockpit sufficient to en-
able him to crawl in. He calked all
the joints as well as he could, and
when this work was finished he made
a pair Of paddles out of two planks.
Then he brought out his craft with
great precauton. Without much diff
Guilty he reached the waters edge. ST.
lently and slowly he proceeded in the
hope of reaching either Venezuela or
British Guiana, $50 nautical miles dis
tant Fortunately or unfortunately for
Lupi, the steamer Abeille, returning
from the Antilles, off Paramaribo
picked him up half drowned and al
most In fainting condition, and a few
hours later he was in irons in his cell.

Building a Railroad Across tho Ice anc
Against Time.
Along the Copper river valley ties
standard gauge railroad. 191 miles il
length, the building of which was filled
with romance. It's construction is re
garded as distinct feat in worlds
engineering. The road crosses the riv.
er between two glaciers (Childs and
Miles,.
The false work of the bridge waa
laid on the ice in winter. Men were
hired to work night and day. NJ. j.
Heney, the contractor, the man who
built another impossible" road across
the mountains from Skagway, and his
chief engineer, E. C. Hawkins, con-
ceived the idea of using the river ice
for the bridge scaffolding
AS the spring approached hundreds
of men were kept busy every minute
of the day and night, for If not COM
pleted by the time the ice burst all the
work and material would have been
lost.
The ice went out, carrying the false
work with it, less than an hour after
the spike was driven in the connecting
span and the work was completed.

Receipts for the week have been

Cattle.
Livestock receipts totaled consider
ably less this week than last and
business was not SO brisk. The cat
tie situation failed to clear and on
only one day, Monday, was there any
interest aroused. A few cars OF
choice steers brought $3.50 and load
of young COWS 1915. Bulk of weeks
steer sales averaged 800 to s7.25
and cows $500 to 1926. All other
butcher classes were slow and prin-
cipal cause Of price weakness was in
ferior beef quality and too much of
1t.
Hogs
The hog market maintained its
strength easily from beginning to
end. Prices never rose above $S.O5,
but choice light stock averaged aroun
cents all week. A lot OF swine
that lacked prime finish sold at low
or prices, but good quality pigs and
smooth heavy stuff found quick
sale at steady prices Receipts we're
fairly liberal, but some 1000 less
than for same period last week.
Sheep
Sheephouse trade was brisk only In
spots as liquidation was unsteady.
Total arrivals were smaller than for
previous six days. A good supply OF
prime granted mutton and lambs
came In the first part OF the week.
Wethers sold at 1886 and ewes $4.75
"off cara" Lamb buyers gave $3.50
for the fancy grades and were not
oversuppEed either. The market
closed on e weaker basis with 10
to 15-cent decline In all mutton lines.

STEAMER ALeATRoss
 ARRIVES AT SEATTLE

SEATTLE, Aug. 2O.-The steamer Albatross, of the United States fish commission, the vessel on which Dr. E. Lester Jones, deputy fish commis. sioner, has been inspecting the seal ing and fishing industries of Alaska for the past three months, returned to Seattle yesterday. Dr. Jones, how ever, left the ship at Juneau and will reach Seattle within six weeks.
 Whatever conditions of the alleged scandal among the government repre- sentatives who have charge of the seal fisheries in the Prlbilof islands have been discovered by Dr. Jones were made in his report to the fish commis. sioners in Washington, D. C., but 1t is understood that he has recommended a government investigation of the way in which the seal fisheries have been conducted The officers and crew of the Albatross say that Dr. Jones stopped the seal hunters from further molesting the seals on St. George islanus of the Pribllof group and that this action was taken when the hunt CTS had killed more than 200 young seal in one day.
 Dr. Jones left the Albatross at Jun eau for the purpose of starting a gov ernment fox farm near there for the propagation of blue Arctic foxes. Twenty young foxes were secured on St George island, but ten of them died before the ship reached Juneau. While dlsplilSing to part company with Dr. Jones after his three months stay with them, the crew of the Albatross were willing to see the last of the foxes, as the tricky young animals were the chief worry aboard the yes sel.
 The Albatross left Seattle last April and has cruised in Alaskan waters ever since. Among some of the ports called at were Cordova, Juneau, YalSu- tat bay, Afognak island, Kodiak island and Otter cove, and at these places Dr. Jones inspected the fish canneries. The Albatross will leave within a few days for Newport, Or, and inspect the halibut fisheries there, and then return to her station at Sausalito, Cal.-Se- attle PostIntelligencer.

SHOULD NOT
 BE HIGH IN PRICE

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug, 21.-There is still one-half of this seasons beet sugar output or 750,OOO bags, in the hands of the American Beet Sugar Company, awaiting q market, accord. ing to a statement made before the United States grand jury by Robert oxnard, president of the company The company could not find market for this sugar even at price below the present market quotation, United States District Attorney Preston quot ed oxnard as saying,
 "This proves conclusively that the Eastern seaboard rehneries are not afraid of shortage, and that they are simply juggling with the stock they have on hand, which is a three months' supply Preston said "The testimony showed also that the Eastern refner- les had been making no purchases Of cane raw sugar."
 The testimony referred to was brought out at the beginning of the federal investigation here into the ad. vance in sugar and other food prices since the opening of the European war. Witnesses asserted the price of sugar here is made in New York.

 Railroads from Shelton penetrate the great forests lying between the Pacific ocean and Puget sound which carry logs to the sound. Most of the timber used by the great Port Blake. ly mills, and much of that used by the Tacoma and other mills is lowed in booms from Shelton.
 It was the headquarters for the op. erations of the late Sol G. Simpson and the late A. H. Anderson, who made millions in numbering, and is the headquarters for the Bordeaux broth. CTS, Draham brothers, Simpson heirs and other millionaire loggers.

 This pile of dust, running over $12,OOO in value, represents weeks cleanup on two of the claims and ten days cleanup on another Ring seth said this morning that this was by no means the largest amount of dust he had delivered here at one time and said that as a matter of fact the miners at Chatanika were feeling mighty good over their seasons out put.
