BIOLOGICAL REPORT OF
 COPPER RIVER REGION

Since the exploration and mapping as far back as 1899 of the lower Cop per River region of Alaska by the United States Geological Survey the country has developed very exten- sively. A part of this district is described in report entitled "Geol- ogy of the Hanagita- -Bremner Region. Alaska" based on recent investiga- tions by Fred H. Mofft. and pub lished by the Survey as Bulletin 576. The region is traversed by a gold belt and also contains important cop per deposits. and now that these are accessible by railroad, important de. velopments are being made.
 The Copper River region is also one of great scenic beauty, includ. ing the gorge of the Copper river, together with the famous Miles and Childs glaciers, which are plainly wis. ible from the railroad.
 A topographic map accompanies the report, covering the entire Kotsina. Chitina district, as we'll as the Hana. git#Bremner region. This map is a new edition of one which was pub. lished many years ago.
 A copy of Bulletin 576 may be ob. tained free of charge from the Direct or of the Geological Survey, Wash. ington, D. c.

KILLED WITH BILLIARD CUE
Quarrel Over Game of Pool Is Cause
of Death of Louis Erickson
AssaiIant Held.

Prairie du Chien.-In a quarrel
over a game of pool with his friend
with whom he had worked for sew
eral years, Louis Erickson of Tunnel
City, Wis, was struck over the head
with a billiard cue and died on the
operating table at local hospital a
short time later. His alleged assai1-
ant, Mack Bugdue, is charged with
murder and is now in custody at the
county Jail in Richland Center.
Both men were employed in a con-
crete gang at Lone Rock but were laid
off for the day on account of rain. A
game of pool was suggested and
shortly after one accused the other
of cheating. Hot words followed and
before friends could interfere Bugdue
is alleged to have delivered a blow
of such force that Erickson's skull
was laid over for several inches and
the billiard cue broken less than two
feet from the butt end.
Erickson leaves a wife and five
children. Bugdue's home is in Chi
cago.

ance for employers under the state
compensation law. The commissions
er gave notice of the filing of the
complaint to the twenty companies
named in it and informed them they
would have until Nov. 3 to file an
swers. On Nov. Is he will hold a
hearing on the complaint. Charles

MEDICAL AID GIVEN 10000
sion Says Employers and En-
pIoyes Are Satisfied With
the System.

Madison.-Wisconsin workmen dur
ing the year ending June 80, 1915, were
paid $1,350,00 under the workmens'
compensation act, according to the an
nual report Of the industrial commits
sion.
During the four years that the act
has been in operation the number of
employers, who have elected to come
under its provisions, has increased
from sixty-one to approximately $4,000
and the number of employees within its
protection has grown from 1900 to
more than 100000. In fact, during the
past year, 99.5 of all industrial acct
dents we're subject to compensation.
According to the report this indicates
that both employers and workmen are
satisfied with the law.
The total number of accidents for
the past year exceeded 10000 and the
total number of claims settled was
1877. Medical aid in cases which
did not cause disability for more than
one week was given to 10000 en-
ployes.
The report points out that the total
payroll Of workmen in the state sub

per 500 of payroll upon the average
of all industries.
The total cost for administration of
the act was $13,771-an increase of
$731 over the previous year. The cost
per case settled was $1.19, as COM
pared with $1.2O the previous year.

Fossilized Bacteria.

Marvellous as were the discoveries
of such prehistoric monsters as the
mammoth, the mastodon and the stego-
saurus, they are now eclipsed by re-
cent investigations which show the
most minute microbes and bacteria
in fossil form. The ancestors of our
modern infectious disease germs and
microbes have been found in fossils
of the earliest life on earth. Fossil
bacteria have been discovered in very
ancient limestones collected by DR..

Smithsonian institution, in Gallatin
county, Montana. The bacteria con-

chains of cells which correspond In

ria of today. The world has believed
that bacteria were modern forms of
life, but now we are made to realize
that they existed in the dawn of world
history, many million years ago.

New Aid for Cupid.

New York is full of lonesome girls
who are just pining away because they
have no male to tote them around.
For this reason it has been proposed
that an introduction bureau be estab-
lished where young people may meet,
become acquainted and help increase
the earnings of the marriage license
bureau. But here's the proprietor of
beef-and emporium who advises all
lonely girls to become mattresses.
He says the brown-the-hash girls have
stenographers beaten to fragile in
the pastime Of grabbing off a meal
ticket. In fact, he says more wait
resses are marrying their bosses than
those engaged in the gentle occupa
tion of mauling typewriter. Il don't
know of an occupation where girls get
married quicker" says the restaurant
man. II have had six girls in my en-
ploy marry in four months, and all
married well. A waitress makes good
tips and meets hundreds every week,
and men get a chance to study them
more than in any other trade. A wait
ress has a chance to study men and
can pick her company intelligently.

Obiect to KissIess Kiss.

There is no possible chance of that
West Virginia kissless kiss-a pat on
each cheek and a smile-becoming
popular here, writes a New York cor
respondent. In the first place it re-
quires too much time, patience and ex-
pense for the New York girl to make
up" her face. And there are many
young women who would object to
having their compilations faxed off
by unskilled patting. There are 9th
ers who would not stand for the smile
that goes with it. Broadway gets the
hygienic doctor who advocates this
substitute for the germ-laden kiss in
part. They are already smiling. I'VE
refuse to stand for this substitute for
the original two lips and face to face

Zone may pat lovely cousin or. the
head or cheek when she is small, but
when she grows up to the disable

bill. This would indeed be cold and
platonic old burg if such things could
be. There is not enough lure in the
kissless kiss"

GROWTH OF MODERN NAvIEs
lroncIads and Submarines May Be
Said to Be the Result of
Evolution.

Ironclad is the name given to a
naval vessel wholly or partly cased
with iron plates. 1t was given before
the days of modern steel battleships.
The experience of the British and
French fleet before Sebastopol, during
the Crimean war, demonstrated the
need of armor for battleships. The
armor-plated vessels. and the British
followed soon after. In 1859 a belt of
armor was fitted to a wooden vessel,
renamed La Gloire, and she was the
first armor-clad warship. In June,
1859, the British government began
the construction of the armor-plated
alliron frigate Warrior She was the
first iron warship, and was completed
In 1861. Converted into a floating
workshop, she was still in use in 1910,
under the name of Vernon III The
Nemesis. an iron vessel, not battle
ship, had been engaged in 1912 in the
Chinese war, but great objection was
felt to iron as a material for battle
ships before the Crimean war on &C
count OF the supposed danger from the
enemy's shot. The introduction of iron
as recognized material for ships in
general is often dated 1918, when the
lighter Vulcan was built near Glas-
gov. The very first iron boat built
was launched on the River Foss, III
Yorkshire, in 1777
The earliest attempts at a subma-
rine craft began early in the seven
teenth century. The earliest success
which has been chronicled was that
of 1920, when a Dutch natural phi
losopher, Cornelis van Drebbel. built
boat which could be submerged.
The first undoubted success was Sc
cured by the American engineer Bush
nell in 1775, with a turtle-like craft,
worked by one man. During the war
OF independence a boat of this kind
was submerged below the British war
ship Eagle, and the operator tried to
attach magazine containing fifteen
pounds of gunpowder to her bottom
planking. He failed in his object. but
the magazine later exploded some dis
lance from the ship.
One of the first submarines of me-
chanical power was the French Plon-
geur, built in 1863 from designs by
Brun. During the Civil war the Con-
federates built a number of cigar
shaped boats, some worked by hand
and some by steam, which were armed
with torpedoes. They were known as
Davids on the account of their size as
compared with battleships. In 1864 a
handworked one attacked the Federal
ship Housatonic and sank her by
means of spar torpedo, though the
submarine herself was sunk in the
operation. Many other inventors, of
course, besides those mentioned have
succeeded in the construction of sub
mersibles.
