Alaska Railroad Progresses.

Thomas Riggs. Jr, member of the
Alaskan railway commission, recently
arrived in Seattle, Wash, where he
stated that, if congress appropriates
$9,000,000 annually for three years
the line from tidewater, at Seward, to
Fairbanks. can be completed in that
time. Mr.. Riggs says the surveys
are completed and eight miles of road
bed have been graded, and track will
be laid within the next thirty days.
There is very little hard rock work
along the whole route" says Mr.
Riggs. The maximum grade is but
one per cent. Fairbanks needs this
road to get at the coal in the Nenana
fields. The main deposit extends over

Bridges Expand in Summer.

Bridges expand or get larger in
summer, and shrink in the shade or
at night or in the winter. The rule
is that heat makes everything expand
and cold makes everything shrink
Cold is nothing but absence of heat
So we may say that everything con
tracts or expands according to the
amount Of heat in it. Metals have a
most noticeable way of changing their
size under the influence of heat. So
when bridges are built of iron and
steel the engineer has to allow for
the change in the bridges length
After he reckons on the amount OF
expansion he builds the bridge so that
it has room to grow a little longer in
the summer

Shutting Out the Liuht,

There are penitentiaries in some of
our states which prevent prisoners
from writing to their friends more
than one letter a week-in some peni.
tentiaries the rules may be even strict
er. There is no limit to the number
of letters prisoner is allowed to re-
ceive, but they must be confined strict
ly to business and family matters"
No newspapers or periodicals are al
lowed to be received unless sent d.
rect from publishers. 1t may be good
policy to put some men behind bars
and shut out physical light from them,
but how the state can benefit by shut
ting out light from the minds of these
prisoners we do not pretend to know.
Perhaps some penitentiary warden can
tell us. Here is real subject for
prison rmers,-Collier's.

merriment and good cheer of the serV.

is bigOted devotee of the old school,
and prides himself upon keeping up
something of old English hospitality.
He is tolerable specimen of what
you will rarely meet with nowadays
in its purity, the old English country
gentleman; for our men of fortune
spend so much of their time in town,
and fashion is carried so much into
the country, that the strong rich Pc
culiarities of ancient rural life are al
most polished away.
My father was always scrupulous
in eXacting our holidays, and having
us around him on family festivals.
He used to direct and superintend our
games with the strictness that some
parents do the studies Of their chill
dren, He was very particular that we
should play the old English games ac
cording to their original form and
consulted old books for precedent and
yet | assure you there never was ped
antry so delightful. 1t was the policy
of the good old gentleman to make
his children feel that home was the
happiest place in the world, and I
value this delicious home-feeling as
one of the choicest gifts a parent could
bestOW."
