TOLOVANA WIRELESS TALKS
 WITH EUREKA, CALIFORNIA

Charles l.. Stevenson, operator in charge of the wireless station in the Tolovana country, reports that the radio plant is now working we'll and that he was able to hear all of the in- terior Alaska government stations. He reports that he has succeeded in talking with the wireless station at Eureka, California.
 MT. Stevens has written Falcon Joslin, owners of the wireless plant, that the receiving apparatus has been working three points above perfect for sending messages 25O miles by day and 500 miles at night, and his assertion that he was able to hear Eureka station, is corroboration of that fact.

HOW TO BEHAVE
 IN AN AIR RAID.

LONDON. Because of the numer- ous raids the German Zeppel:n's have made over the island, set of rules have been formulated to be followed during attack.
 To those in the street Take cov- CT immediately. There is danger from bombs from aircraft and also from fragments of shells, and from bullets from guns used against the raiders. The assembly of large crowds might prove fatal. The nearest basement is probably the safest place.
 To School Teachers-Continue Ies- sons as far as possible in the normal way. Remove children from the vi- cinity of windows. Children should not be brought from the upper floors to crowd ground floor class rooms or basement. In the event of damage to the building children should be quiet. ly marched out as in fire drill.
 To those of Government 4fices- Continue working as far as possible. Congestion might prove dangerous if the building is hit. Have the firemen ready. If the building is damaged follow the same directions as in case of fire.
 To Those in Private Houses-Stay there-preterabiy in the basement.

Ants Are Six E<ed.

In the matter of some of their sense organs the ants are more than ordi- narily endowed. Strange as it may seem. each ant has at least six ears. Aside from this multiplicity of ears. they are located in just about the queerest place imaginable-on the legs. They seem deaf to all sounds made by the vibration of the air. but detect the slightest possible vibrations of solid material. This is supposed to be to their advantage in that such things as approaching footsteps tell more of the possibility of danger than such sounds as are transmitted through the air. So sensitive are their feet that they de tect the impact of small bird shot dropped on the table from a height of about six inches and about fourteen feet distant from an artificial nest placed at the other end of the table, St. Nicholas.

THE UNIVERSE.
Our Own Stellar System and What
 May Be Beyond 1t.

Our Own Stellar System and What
 May Be Beyond It.
 In one of the latest conceptions of astronomers the stellar universe has diameter of 10000 to 15,OOO light years, with a thickness of 2,OOO to 5000, and our sun has a place little removed from the center. It embraces 3O,OOO.- 900 to 5O.OOO,OOO stars within the range of telescopic visibility, with dark and invisible bodies whose number cannot be computed.
 So far as can be determined the stars are surprisingly uniform in mass, the range of variation being not more than f1ftyfold, but in density the range is from more than twice that of the sun to only one-millionth and in absolute luminosity or brightness from 5000 times that of the sun to about one three -thousandth. The temperature rises from near absolute zero in the nebulae to 10000 degrees c. in certain giant hot stars.
 It is suggested that our universe may be not the only one and that the small Magellanic cloud. for instance. per haps 3OOOO light years distant. may be a relatively small universe of about 1000 light years in diameter.
 Another separate star system at sim liar distance is possibly. astronomers hold. the Andromeda nebula.-Newark News.

CURIOUS COINCIDENCE.
An Unexpected Meeting With a Long
 Lost Set of Dishes.

An Unexpected Meeting With a Long
 Lost Set of Dishes.
 In the American Magazine the story of a curious coincidence is told in a letter written by Elsie B. Hart of San Gabriel, Cal: -.
 "In the early days in California very little china was used that did not come from the orient. A man whose home was in Folsom, who preferred the chi ma of Europe, took advantage of vis- it to England to order complete din ner set ornamented with design of his own selection. In the course of time this was packed and shipped to San Francisco by sailing vessel round the Horn, but after long delay the ves- sel was given up as lost and was nev- CT afterward heard from.
 Wears afterward the Californian while travelling in China was invited to dine at the home of missionary. What was his astonishment to find the table set with his own dishes, pur- chased so long ago! Concealing his surprise, he commented on the beauty of the china, and this called forth an explanation from his hostess. She told him the china had an interesting his tory, as 1t had been washed up on the nearby shore. and they had bought it from the man who had recovered it from the ocean.
 Surprising as it may seem, he nev- CT told his host that he was eating of his own dishes!'

A Monstrous Tide.

The bay of Fundy forms a cul-de-sac at which the Atlantic ocean seems to have taken special spite and at reg ular intervals pours into it an enor nous amount of water. Take the har- Dor of St. John as an illustrat tion of what this mighty tide must be. In most parts of the world tide of ten feet Is considered something abnor- nal. but at St. John 1t rises twenty to twenty-four feet in good weather. In stormy weather the monotony is va- ried by the high water mark being pushed up even ten or fifteen feet higher.

 He looked at her responsibility, and almost involuntarily his hand sought his pocketbook. It is seldom. indeed. that resourceful woman has to make direct request for rhoney.-Chicago Post.

HIGH VELOCITY STARS.
Their Fearful Rate of Spesd In Space
 Ia Somewhat PuzzIine.

Their Fearful Rate of spesd In Space
 Is Somewhat PuzzIing.
 The average velocity of stars ranges from about six kilometerS. or between three and four miles. per second for young" stars to about thirty kilome- ters per second for "old" ones. But notable exceptions occur. At Mount Wilson solar observatory of the Car negie institution some stars have been found to move with velocities of Al, 15O, 179, 233. 316 and even 325 kilo- meters per second. the highest speed yet known.
 These high velocity stars are some times described as runaways because they seem to be quite beyond the con- trol of the gravitational power of the universe. At their speed the attrac- tion of the entire known stellar sys- tenn would be wholly insufficient to check the stars career through space
 The astronomer, Simop Newcomb. once calculated that the maximum ve- locity attained by body starting WILL NC1OSAIy AClO dL dA AuAultC uAo- tance and passing through stellar system containing 1O0,00O,o00 stars each five times as massive as our sun and distributed throughout a disklike spheroid of certain extent cannot ex- ceed 40 kilometers per second. Yet the star "Groombridge 1880" has speed nearly nine times this value. and the massive star Arcturus has a speed probably four times this value.
 If existing velocities owe their mag nitudes to the gravitation of the sys- tenn the quantity of attracting matter in the whole stellar system would have to be at least eighty times that assumed by the calculations of Pro- lessor Newcomb.-Baltimore Ameri- can.

GERMANY DECLARES COLORED
 TROOPS MUTILATE DEAD.

BERLIN, Oct. 1.-The German foreign office has issued memorial protesting against the employment of colored troops in the European thea tres of war by France and Great Brl- tain on the ground that they have brought with them savage practices of warfare of their native country.
 The memorial charges the Africans and Hindus with mufdering the wounded and mutilating the dead by cutting off their ears, which are worn in strings about their necks as neck faces, and even severing the heads from bodies as war trophies.
 These charges are supported by nu- merous documents, consisting partly of reproductions of letters and diar- ies found on dead French soldiers or French prisoners, and partly of aff1- davits of German officers and soldiers and German women living in France when the war broke out.
 Affidavits from two German women teachers allege that Sengalese and Turcos murdered wounded men com- mitted to their care for transporta- tion to hospitals.
 The appendix concludes by repro ducing the famous protest in the House of Commons by the Earl of Chatham Civilian Pitt), against the atrocities committed upon Americans by the Indians hired by the British during the war of the revolution.
 The memorial concludes with a solemn protest by the German gov- ernment in the interest of civilization against the employment of colored troops in Europe. It says this is con trary to the spirit of all international agreements of the past two decades, which make it the duty of civilized nations to lessen the inherent evils of warfare.

MOOSE MUSHERS DANCE
 BRINGS OUT BIG CROWD.

The Mushers' dance given at Moose Hall Saturday might by the Alaska Order of Moose, brought out one of the largest and jolliest crowds ever gathered together in Valdez. The dancing floor of the big hall was crowded and was unable to accom- modate all the couples in attendance at the same time. The Moose had prepared feed of good old-fashioned baken beans and brown bread which added greatly to the pleasure of the guests.

HE ASKED FOR DONALD.
And Much. to His Surprise He Got the
 Answer He Sought.

Answer He Sought.
 Dr. Norman Macleod, the famous Scottish divine, before visiting India, called on an old highland woman in Glasgow, says writer in the Scot tish American. When ye gang tae India" he said, yell be seein' ma Donal that went ava tae India ten years ago an never sent the scrape of a pen tae his mither since"
 But. Katie" said the doctor. India is very big place. and how can ex- pect to find him?'
 "Oh, but yell just be askin' for Donar. What for no?''
 So, to please the old woman, he prom ised to ask for Donald, and he con- scientiously kept his word. At various ports he made inquiry among British ships. although it seemed very much like looking for a needle in bale of hay. But 1t is the unexpected that went up the Husli river an outward bound vessel passed close by. A sailor was leaning over her bulwark. and. moved by a sudden impulse. the doctor shouted out:
 Are you Donald Mactavish?"
 To his intense surprise the man an swered, "Yes."
 Dr. Macleod had only time to shout. You're to write to your mother!" as the vessels drew apart. The result of his amazing meeting was that the old lady received penitent letter from her long neglectful son.

 About $115,000 was washed up last spring on the lower half of No. above Hammond river by Frank Smith and Knute Elingson. On the upper half of the same claim Jack Holzer and Lee Wilson washed up about $35,OO0. There are no opera tions on Hammond river in the sum- mer by reason of the fact that there is too much water to handle.

JUSTICE HUGHES DECLINES BE
 CANDIDATE

WASHINGTON, May 5-In an au- thoriaed statement issued today Jus tice Hughes of the United States Su- Preme Court, set at rest all rumors that he was about to be candidate President in the next national cam paign. The justice wholly disproved the use of his name in connection with the presidency, and said that he had no desire to re-enter politics. As a member of the Supreme Court he was not an available candidate in any sense and that hereafter he would not permit the use of his name in that regard. Before the statement today Justice Hughes was probably the lead ing Republican candidate for the nomination as Republican candidate for chief executive.

The entertainment given at the Elm press Theatre last night by the pupils of the Cordova public schools, was thoroughly enjoyed by the large au- dience present The program was a carefully selected one, and all of the participants acquitted themselves most credltably In fact every mem Der brought forth much applause, and too much credit cannot be given the teachers Miss Ware and Miss Crabb for the manner in which the boys and girls demonstrated their masterly ef- ficiency of the parts assigned to them. And it all seemed to be done with the utmost ease, without a hitch or pebble, That meant, of course, training, practice, rehearsal after re- hearsal. patience and ability. Not on- ly the parents. but the public gener- ally, took a pride in the commendable showing made by the scholars, and the community owes to our able corps of teachers especial commendation for the excellence of their work. and for their continual effort toward the encouragement of bringing forth the best there is in the rising genNation of the town.

Special The Times By Associated Press
 PEKIN, May 5-A Japanese cruiser and four torpedo boat destroyers have arrived at Chinwang- iowa. one hundred and fifty miles east of this city. The evident purpose of the arrival is to the members of the Japanese legation from China Con suate reports from all parts of the country say that the Japanese quitting the country in large num- bers the first step in their departure being their centration at the various Japanese consulatcs. Pc kin is quiet and most of the population is entirely
 ignorant of the real state of affairs. Only the edu cated classes have been informed that their country is brink of rupture with Japan. At a cabinet meeting held yesterday President Yuan Sh Kai made no expression of his views. It is known that the whole question whether China shall surrender
