Kuskokwim River Charted.

The recent announcement by the de
partment of commerce of the discOv-
cry of a practicable channel into the
Kuskokwim river. Alaska. attracted
widespread interest The interest will
be renewed by a notice just issued by
the department TO the effect that the
coast and geodetic survey has print
ed two companion charts. one Of Kusko-
kwim bay and one of the river. Both
charts are supplemented by leaflets OF
sailing directions containing full de-
scription of the courses which should
be followed. the landmarks and other
details of Importance TO the navigator.
These charts furnish the long sought
answer to the question of how to reach
I'm safety the mouth of the river from
the sea. For the first time the Havi-
gator has the means TO avoid the de
ceptive blind channels which pene-
| trate the shoals OF the delta and a
guide to follow the river channel as il
winds its way through the mud banks
of the river bed.

How timber Is often damaged.

Experiments at the forest service lab
oratory of the department of agricul-
ture have determined that the strength
OF a piece OF wood may be seriously
impaired by slight compression failures
due to rough handling. says the Scien-
tific American. Dropping beam across
a skid may cause compression failure
at the point at which the beam strikes
the skid. and IL will be at this point
that the beam gives way when Ii
breaks under a strain too severe for
the weakened fbers TO withstand.
Hitherto unaccountable breakage in
hickory wagon spokes and other pre-
sumably strong materials is now at
tributed to compression failures caused
by windstorms in the period OF growth
or by hard usage in numbering and
manufacturing processes. These com
preston failures show themselves IN
the form OF little diagonal streaks OF
wrinkles across the grain and are al
ways a sure sign OF weakness

The Coal
Situation.

Conditions in the coal trade
seem to be changing little, al.
though some Improvement in
steam grades is reported by
some operators. This change
is III demand only, prices being
as variable as possible.
The awarding Of the contract,
said to be at Soc. of the cotton
mill association to the Clinch-
field, was the feature OF the
past few days in coal circles.
Domestic operators report
that the stocking season is
starting off in good shape aud
that orders are coming in right
along.
Despite the present condition
of the coal business and unfav-
orable conditions which have
prevailed during the past two
seasons, new companies, with
large capital are beginning new
operations in the Harlan, Haz
ard and Clinchfeid sections.
Nearly all are experienced coal
men, SO that they evidently
have hopes that present condi.
