MagnesIa in Sea Shells.

Chemical analysis of starfishes, sea
urchins and cr;noids, collected from
all parts Of the world, show that the
skeletons of these animals contain
much msgnesia. The amount present
is found to vary with the temperature
Of the water in which the creatures
lived. The percentage of magnesia Is
highest in those specimens that lived
In tropical waters and lowest in forms
from the icy seas of Greenland and
the Antarctic, with q regular grada-
ton between which even shows the
local effect Of cold ocean currents
upon liie 1T the sea bottom. The in
vestigations suggest that the skeie-
tons Of these animals have the compo-
Rition Of the manganese limestone,
Or dolomite, and it Is possible that
they furnish clues not only as to
the climatic conditions under which
limestones are now formed, but also
as to the temperatures OF the oceans
in different regions of the earth where.
during different periods of geologic
history. great deposits Of magnetism
limestone we're formed

All public institutions, I hers assert,
should have as their employees only
people who are courteous, pleasant
and kind. One of the greatest hard
ships of poverty is to be obliged to
face the autocratic martinets who
seem to guard the doorways Of al such
organizations. There Is something de-
testable and offensive in the frozen,
impatient and often insulting mannes
of the women and men who occupy lit

The Cordova daily times., 1915-04-30

VALDEZ April 30-Suit was filed in the dis rict court here late today by the Alaska Northern Railroad against John E. Ballane and his brother Frank to obtain from them possession of the Seward townsite and other lands contiguous thereto The complaint was telegraphed from San Francisco, as the statute of limitations on the case would have expired tomorrow and consequently the plaintiff would have been out of court if the matter had been filed by mail
 The complaint charges that Baaine and his brother while acting director officers and trustee of the Alaska Central railroad the predecessor of the Alaska Northern, diverted three thousand dol lars from the funds of the company for the purpose of purchasing the land where the town of Seward is now located.
 The complaint goes on to state that later they diverted four thousand dollars to purchase addition al land now owned by Mary Lowell. The Alaska Northern, as the successor of the Alaska Central, demands that the lands purchased with these divert ed funds be turned back to it. and asks for an ac- counting in endeavor to get back the profits that Balliane has made out of the sale of town lots in Seward

Bondhoders Telegraph Complaint Company Officials To Valdez Court to Acquire Railroad Tovnte Seward Has Been Sold to Government but Cannot be Delivered
 Legal Kinks Must be Strengthened Out
 Road Can be Transferred tot

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3O-startling devel. opments have occurred in the matter of transfer ring the property of the Alaska Northern Railroad to the government T. c. West, prominent at torney of this city, representing the present of the road has brought suit against the former of fcas to set aside certain transfers of land and other property of the road adjacent to Seward The UT gency of the matter is shown by the fact that West did not send his complaint to be filed through the medium of the mails but telegraphed it verbatim Arthur Lang, clerk of the distTct court at Valdez The expense of cabling the complaint totalled eev- en hundred dollars.
 Mir. West was uncommunicative about the suit when questioned but from the meagre information secured 1t is believed that certain former officials of the road transferred the land known as the rail road townsite contiguous to Seward and other prop erty, to parties just before quitting the company employ In fact the transfers were the last official acts of these employees. It is estimated here that the purcahse of the road by the government has normously increased the value of the property, and that it is now worth in the neighborhood of eight
The Cordova daily times., 1915-04-30

hundred thousand dollars Part of the land in
 question is the propose dtermina for the government railroad.
 It is evident that the bondholders who have controlled the road for the past few years, knew
 nothing of this transfer by their former employees else there would have been need for such haste as was shown in telegraphing the complaint It Is also known that under the terms of the contract
 of sale with the government the bond holders were
 not to receive the first installment of the purchase price until July 1, next, the money appropriated by the last congress will not become available before that It is clear from what is known that the title must be cleared up before any payment will be made on the purchase price. Details of the complaint will have to be learned from the clerk of the court at Valdez, so that nothing definite is known here outside of MT Vests office as to the exact property in controversy, or the grounds depended upon for the setting aside of the transfers It is entirely possible that the government may yet find that it is unable to complete its contract with the bond holders of the Alaska Northern, and the course of the commission nthat contingency is open to con lecture
