SAYS FAITHFUL GOT
 HARD KICK IN THE RIBS.

According to the Anchorage Pio- neer of November 13, Delegate Wick ersham expressed the opinion in his speech there that Congress will un- occasionally appropriate the money htu be asked for by Secretary Lane. :, Whatever else one might say about the delegate he is gifted with com nonsense and in this case he con demned all attempts at agitation. He declared that he had put that rail way bill through congress, or had aid ed in getting it through, and he felt 8 personally strong desire to see the work successfully carried out.
 One remarkable little fact is worth noting in this connection. Before Nr. Wickersham came and saw the railroad work and spoke his opinion q puny effort was being made to ere ate dissension. This paper condemn ed it at the time, long before the del egate had spoken and there is some satisfaction in contemplating the ut Aer silence that suddenly fell over the agitators.
 What a strange hold Wickersham has got on his followers? AS sub ject for calm, -uaprejudiced study the "Gentleman from Alaska" is mighty interesting. tHe is supported by some of the very worst elements in Alaska life and by some of the very best men of the territory and all swear by him and accept, very often blindly, his dictum as they might ac- cept the ex cathedra statement of the vatican or the official announce ment" of an oracle.
 Some of them, no doubt, thought that when they attacked the Guggen- helms as arch-conspirators against the government railroad Wickersham would come along and clap them on the back. On the way up the coast several of the anti-Gugg genus went to see the delegate to receive his ap- probation as sheep dog comes to have his head patted by the shepherd and master when he thinks he has parked with dog-like faithfulness. Did they get the pats? Oh, no; they got hard kick in the ribs.-seward Gateway.

Tn. voraciou. cormorant.

How d cormorant dives for sea trout and gets them is told by writer: "l had the corinorant under observation only for the space of four or five min
 utes. and during that short period it had captured four sea trout, all of con sidera ble size. After being under wa ter for few seconds the bird would reappear with sea trout wriggling in it's bill. But in spite of the victims desperate efforts to escape it was delft ly swallowed. and after few gulps the cormorant would resume its fish ing operations. One of the sea trout gave it considerable trouble. however. for the fish struggled violently for some moments. but was deftly placed so that it's head pointed down it's cap
 tors throat. and thus it's own strug. 'gles assisted the bird to swallow it,

.SO SHIPS SINK TO
 BOTTOM OF THE SEA?

The question of whether or not a modern steel ship which capsizes in midocean will sink to the bottom has been discussed at considerable length in the past few months. Many argue that since the water of the ocean at great depths is under enormous pressure there mus. be point some where between the surface and the bottom where <. Is so highly con- pressed as to support steel so that the wrecked vessel will remain sus- pended there.
 1 At the bottom of the ocean at the point of greatest depth is little over six miles, the density of the , water, owing to the pressure, is only about one twentieth greater than at the surface. Only two substances so far investigated scientifically have been found less compressible than water; these are glycerine and mer- cury. Steel is compressed oyer 50 per cent more than water at the same pressure. From this it is clear that as steel descends in the water it is
Valdez daily prospector., 1915-12-04

compressed half as much again as the water at the same depth, so that
 at no point would the density of the water be as great as that of the steel. Therefore, there is no point where |steel would be suspended above the bottom even if the steel was dropped into a pit of the ocean reaching to the center of the earth.
 It is believed that no modern ves- sel has compartments sufficiently rig id to withstand the pressure of the
 water a hundred feet or more below
 the surface, so that the buoyant eff
 feet need not be considered.
 In considering this question notice is taken of the fact that the pres |sure of the water is exerted in all di- rections That is, body immersed in water sustains pressure tending
 to draw it downward with force practically equal to that tending to prevent its further sinking, just as in the air. bodies sustain the same pressure on all sides. From these
 facts many conclude that any objects that sink at the surface will sink to the bottom of the ocean.

POST0FFICE POINT.
There 10 No Mail Station Located on
 This Arctic Ice Pack.

Tnere 10 NO Maii station Located on
 This Arctic Ice Pack.
 Almost due north of Boring strait is point in the solid north pack that always extends much farther south chan the pack at the eastward or at the westward. This point is naturally variable. according to the heat of the summer and the severity of the previ. ous winter, but it does not move more than a few degrees. For fifty or sev- enty-fve years this point of ice has been spoken of by the arctic whale men as "Postoffice point"
 This does not mean that there is a postoffice there. but the significance of the name is because the whaling fleets usually are divided. some ships going considerably cast of Postofhce point and others west of it. Ships that have been east of 1t cruise along the edge of the pack and very ire quently meet ships that have been to the west of 1t. and the meeting point for some reason has always been in the neighborhood Of Postoffice point It was here therefore that the ships used to meet. after being separated for many weeks, and exchange news and gossip.
 The solid north pack comes pretty close to Point Barrow and extends in an irregular line from Point Barrow to Postoffice point. Much of this ice Hooks as though it has been there from the year l." as one of the whal' ing captains has expressed it. Bear, ing in mind the fact that Postofice point is always to be found in ap proximately the same latitude and longitude. 1t seems as though there must of necessity be land back of it.. although of course there is d poss! bility that there may be very solid pack of ice instead of land. held in place by comparatively shallow water.

THE UBIQUITOUS TURKEY.
He Has Spread All Over the World
 Despite His Retiring Ways.

In every corner of the globe almost. at least where civilization has spread its epicurean taste. may be found the domesticated turkey--not. however. of his own volition Never would he. in his wild state. have sought to cross the stormy seas to find green fields and pastures new.
 He is not so constructed. He is not bold or adventurous of disposition. On the contrary. he is timid and much afraid of things he does not under stand and when undisturbed is prone to let well enough alone and get along with his accustomed feeding grounds Again. as hi@r the turkey is not d pronounced success. He dies ponder ously. almost m;nfnlly and with great effort and only when very much fright. ened. His flight can be sustained for only short distance. but what the wild turkey lacks as an aviator he fully makes up as a sptinter.
 He can outrun a race horse. especial ly in his own nutiye forest. where undcrgrowth and 'a.shes seem but to add to his speed. But he could not have flown over tic ocean even if he had had that unnatural desire. He was taken over by the hand of man. first to Spain. then 10 other Mediterranean countries. to northern Europe. to the far east. until now ht' is well nigh omnipresent And this spreading out of his kind even unto the ends of the earth is all due to the entrancing qualities his meat takes on when properly baked or roasted.- New York Herald

When the Elder Booth Tried to Escape
 a Man Who Bored Him.
 Thomas R. Gould admired the elder Booth almost to adoration. The most minute and instructive account that ex- ists of Booths acting was written by him-a book called "'The Tragedian"- and Gould's marble bust of Booth, mo- ble work of art (made before the come dian Flynn broke Booths nose with pewter pot,. is the best likeness of that great actor. But Gould's assidious per sonal attentions to Booth became wearisome to that eccentric man anu vexed him. Peculiar discretion is sometimes requisite to those who would praise and please eminent persons Booth. when acting in Boston. custom arily lodged at an old hotel called the Albion, situated ill Fremont street, at the northwest corner of Court street.
 "One day" said Edwin, my father dashed into the bedroom where ] was sitting and. almost breathless with haste, exclaimed: Gould! Coming up! Say I'm out and literally dived under meath the bed. I received MT. Gould. who seemed surprised not to lind my father q think he had seen him rush ing upstairs). and ne talked with me for several minutes Then there was q moment of silence. and my father. be- coming impatient. thrust his head out from under the bed, inquiring as he did so:

BROOKS ADVISES MINERS
 DEVELOP QUARTZ MINES.

Dr. Alfred Brooks is advising all quartz miners in the Fairbanks dis trict to keep up the assessment work on their claims and not to let them go back to the government. He be- lieves the quartz possibilities of the Fairbanks district will have been un- derestimated by the miners and says that as soon as cheaper fuel is avail able the mines will flourish.
 Regarding the antimony mining, Dr. Brooks said that neither he nor anyone else in the country had paid a great deal of attention to it here tofore, as the demand for the ore was not great, but now the industry is in- teresting many people. At the pres ent time, it is being mined in a num- Der of places in the United States, but there are only few places where the ore is as free from lead as it is in the Fairbanks district and for that reason it is particularly valuable.
 Just what the antimony industry will amount to after the close of the war, the geologist Is not willing to hazard guess, as he thinks it. will depend upon the attitude of the world powers toward disarmament. If the nations now engaged in the mighty struggle in Europe wear themselves out. with neither winning decisive victory, it is probable. he thinks. that there will be a demand for antimony which will be used to replenish the ammunition stores. The whole in dustry is so uncertain, however, that Dr. Brooks does not know what ad- vice to give the people contemplating entering the business.
 The one thing the geologist feels certain of, however, is that the quartz industry of the interior will amount to a good deal after cheaper fuel is landed.

This was Il great worry to Whis- tier. " no disliLed to part with his pret- ty locks 50 he would try by cajolery and aattery to have Joe let up little on the length of his hair. But in this he was never successful. Joe would stop his shears in the midst of q re- monstrance and say. Mir. Whistler. do you want me to cut your hair accord ing to regulations or not?" Of course this put an end to the argument. and Whistler would come back to our rooms. look in the glass and swear about Joe.
