LIQUORS 4 C [ ) QUICKLY BY
 NEW ME ETHOD

PARIS, Dec. 8. A method of aging" raw wines and spirits by electricity has been perfected by Professor Charles Henry of the Uni versity of Paris (the Sorbonne), and 1t is already being successfully used in some of the Burgundy wine dis tricts.
 The process is said to impart to liquors the same properties which they acquire by being kept for num- Der of years in cellars. The spirit or wine is placed in a special recep- tacle, fitted with two tubes, called burgers" and the cubes are charged with high tension electricity, at from 6O,000 to 10000 volts. The result is that all the bacteria, ferments and i'm purities collect in the tubes and are removed, and all further fermentation is stopped. The process is very rapid. and the cost is less than two cents per hundred gallons. Similar experi- ments are now being made with beer and essential oils.

SHOWS BIZ ERUPTION
 QN YUKON

Every traveller on the upper Yukon river has noted a conspicuous white bed, four by six inches in thickness, that occurs on the river banks. This is made up of volcanic ash derived from a volcano located in the north ern margin of the St. Elias range more than 100 miles to the south. Though Eeologically speaking the material is of recent age, yet it was probably erupted 1,40O years ago. There are, of course, no historical records of this eruption, but fin the course of explorations in Alaska much has been learned about the dis terial ejected. It originally covered an area of 10000 square miles, and some of it was carried over 450 miles from the volcano. The deposit varies in thickness from 400 feet near the volcano to an inch or two at the mar gin of the area covered by it. A rough estimate indicates that over 10 cubic miles of material was elected at the time of this eruption. During the eruption of Katmai volcano in South western Alaska in June, 1912, about five cubic miles of ash was elected, and about the same amount fell from the Krakatoa eruption of 1883. This Yukon eruption is therefore cOmpar- able in intensity with some of the larger eruptions of historical time. All the available information about this subject is summarized in a pa per entitled An Ancient Volcanic Eruption in the Upper Yukon Basin" by stephen R. Capps, issued by the United States geological survey.

Tested and Proven There !s 6 Heap of SOlace in Being Able to Depend Upon n We'll
 Earned Reputation

For months Alaskan readers have seen the constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, and ,ead about the good work they have done. What other remedy ever produced such convincing proof of merit?
 Anthon" Miller, 4316 S. Puget Sound Ave, Tacoma, Wash, says: T had lameness across my kidneys and headaches and dizzy spells. l suffered from a constant backache when on my feet. I tried every thing but got nothing that would remove the trouble until Doan's Kidney Pills were recommended to me. They quickly strengthened my back and removed the lameness. l was soon able to sleep well at night and got up in the morning feeling refreshed, instead of being more tired than when I went to bed"

Haines, June 20-J. A. Smith had a narrow escape from drown ing and losing his six horse team in the Klehini river last Monday. He was returning from Glacier creek, where he had taken a load of freight, and in crossing the river near the mouth of Porcupine creek, thq force of the current washed his trail wagon around upsetting 1t, and it in turn upset the lead wagon also. MT. Smith chung to the wagon, and his leaders, having obtained a solid footing, pulled the rest of the outfit ashore. It was certainly close call for Mir smith. He says he lost about fifty dol lars worth of stuff in the river.
 w. B. Stout made a business trip to Porcupine Tuesday, returning home on Wednesday.
 Marshal Harding went up to Lahey & Handley's fox ranch Tuesday, and levied on their foxes for debts. The sale of the foxes, is advertised to be held on Monday the 2Sth.
 s. J. Weitzman, started for Rainy Hollow on Wednesday, but when he got to Porcupine, concluded that on account of the high water he would not try to go farther, and returned home.
 Sam Nixon and G. c. Dahaven have returned from Juneau, where they have been serving on the grand jury.
 S. J. Weitzman has received his patent from the government to his homestead at Wells. w. B. Stout looked after his interests in the matter with the department.
 J. W. Coombs, the saw mill man, is at Juneau attending court as a juror, and in consequence the saw mill will remain shut down until he returns.

NO NORTH POLAR CONTINENT

h 1913 an expedition set forth from the United states, headed by Donald B. MacMillan. one of the chief purposes of which was to eX- pIore further a north polar contin- ent reported seen by Robert E.. Peary on his historic expedition , of 1906, when he gained the pole, and which he named Crocker Land. Though MacNIillan's precise where abouts at the present time is un- known, an authentic message from him and his associates, written in
 May, has just come to his packers in the United States. In it he makes clear that Admiral Peary was deceived by an Arctic mirage, and that the continent which was to furnish him and other naturaIists with him so much. material and so much fame does put exist. The evil dence which the moro thorough in vestigatioa of the problem by Mac Milan puts at the disposal of eX- perts in polar exploration is such that it is hardly likely to be chal- leuged, and Admiral Peary is not in a position to challenge it, even
 if he cared to do so, which IS doubtful, for his original announce ment of the discovery was guarded.

Venice (Cal) Yanguard.-Sever- al citizens of the bay district are greatly interested at news of big gold strike received from Fairbanks. F. T. Eeelar, of Thirteenth street, Santa Monica, former mayor of Skagway, has large holdings in AL aska, as has also R. F. Mcclellan, president of the Sawtelle Citizens bank. The. Fairbanks story is as follows:
 "A placer deposit yielding gold valued as high as $1,635 a pan has been struck on Hammond river in the Koyukuk district, 65 miles nortt of the Arctic circle, according to authentic reports received here.
 The camp Is an almost inacces- sib}e district 900 miles from Fair banks.
 The report, dated March 25, said two miners obtained one pan worth &1,635 and another worth SI.632 the same day. Average pick-ups of nuggets made in the bottom of their shafts in six days amounted to $1,OOO a day, it was reported.
 Two others working a claim in the same district are said to have picked up nuggets worth S40O in six days.".

POLICE FEAR LOSS

Sergeants Hear Rumor First and
Are Exercised Over Orders
Effect on Public.

The sergeants Of the Police Depart
ment are discussing a rumor that Com
missioner Woods will soon issue an
order doing away with the service
stripes on their uniforms.
The oldtime sergeants object 10 the
rumored order for the reason that citi-
zens unfamiliar with the uniform that
indicates the rank of sergeant do not
appreciate that they are talking 10 or
making a complaint TO man who on
the street exercises in many ways the
same authority lieutenants do in sta
ton houses.
The oldtimers maintain the public
has more confidence in sergeant, who
by the stripes on his sleeve shows he
has had long experience as a police
man and can readily adjust difficulties.
The only difference between a patrol
mans and a sergeant's uniform at
present is that the sergeant wears a
gold shield.
The younger sergeants also object
to the proposed change. They say
there is no reason why a man. after
reaching the advanced rank by work
and study, should not appear in the
eyes Of the public as a man above the
average policeman.

To Make the Most of Gray Hair

though after travelling or motoring a
sponging off with alcohol will often
serve in place of shampoo. But when
it is put to a thorough cleansing, use
only the best and purest liquid soap, as
free from alkali as possible, and treat
il as the laundress does her fine linen.
Put it through many rinsings to get rid
of every particle of soap, the last one
being quite cool and deep blue with in
digo. Let the hair rest in this for a
few moments, moving it about in the
bath so as to absorb as much of the
blueing as possible, and then dry 1t
thoroughly with warm towels and Wig
orous rubbing. The blueing serves TO
soften the dulled, lifeless look which
always results from washing gray hair
and gives uniformity Of sh. ing.
Streaked locks in gray hair are its
worst feature, and especially is this
true of blond gray hair.
Rub the scalp then with white vase
line, taking care not to let IL get upon
the hair, and brush thrush 1t vlgor-
ously night and morning TO give It the
si.very cleaning that is so beautiful in
well-kept gray hair.
And since gray hair is always rather
brittle and ready 10 fly at loose ends, II
is we'll to use a bit of brilliantine on il
now and then 10 keep 1t smooth.
Nothing is more depressingly aging
in suggestion than struggling wisps OF
gray hair hanging about the face and
neck.
So much for the hair itself. Now
for the rest Of the problem. Dress up
TO il. Treat il as a musician does a
theme upon which to build a lovely
melody, or an artist a color scheme for
the composition of a picture.
Never think that gray hair and the
accompanying complexion can stand
the baby blues, the pale pinks and blu
ish lavenders or the greens and yell
lows that youth claims for its own.
Revel in the deep shades Of rose-never
red or scarlet-but rose, the American
Beauty shades; and deep amethysts--
never purple or lavender; both Of these
