EDES SURPRISED
 AT R. B. TANG[E
Says He Thought Sale of Seward Road Was All SettIed-Road Sure Be
 Built To the Coal Fields.

SEATTLE, May 17.-Chairman Edes of the Alaska engineering commits sion reached this city today from San Francisco and when interviewed re- garding the legal difficulties resulting from the Ballaine-Boland Alaska Northern suits and counter suits said that he did not believe that the leg al fight would affect the final trans fer of the railroad to the government and that in any event the work of building road to the Matanuska coal fields from Anchorage would be pushed with all possible speed.
 The commission is short of funds and is working on the" balance ot $5OO,OO0 left from the first appropria- tion made for surveys. The new ap- propriation of $2,OOO,OO0 will not be available until July 1st.
 When told that John Ballaine, the original promoter of the Seward rail- road had threatened to sue Attorney Roland for $1,0OO,OOO for defamation of character because of the suit in volving the ownership of the Seward townsite, he stated that he believed that Ballaine estimated his damages rather high.
 Chairman Edes admitted that the legal trouble over the transfer of the road came as a surprise to him, as he had thought all was settled when he left Washington.

ARCTIC FROST BITES.
And the Popular Error That Rubbing
 With Snow Helps Them.

And the Popular Error That Rubbing
 With Snow Helps Them.
 The idea that when your face or any other part of your body begins to freeze you must thaw 1t out with snow is declared to be superstition by Vilhjalmur Stefansson. Few things could be more absurd, he says, and yet this is q superstition that has been carried with many an arctic explorer through long experience in the north. Tales are told of how even the applica- tion of snow failed to relieve the freezing, and these are taken as in- dications of the severity of the case instead of proof that, as a matter of fact, the snow only assists the freezing process. Any high school pupil. Ste fansson says, could tell us offhand what would happen if liquid afr were applied to a mans cheek or nose. Of course the part would freeze instantly. Snow has the same though less rapid effect.
 The whole secret of dealing with frost bites of the face in arctic travel. he says, is to keep the hands warm and to run the warm hand over the face every few minutes to see if any part of it is frozen. Usually, also, one can keep oneself fairly well informed about the condition of ones face by wrinkling it and making faces" If a spot of skin or cheek the size of twenty five cent piece becomes stin one can always detect it by making gri-: mace. Then all one has to do is to take ones warm hand out of ones mitten and press 1t to the frozen spot for moment until the whiteness and stiff ness are gone..-lndianapolis News.

WHAT IS ELECTRICITY7
( Seems to Be an Effect Produced by
 Energy on Matter.

It is curious fact that although evil dence of electricity in a primitive way was observed as long ago as the sixth century E. c. and it's manifestation has become one of the greatest factors in our modern civilization. no one knows just what it is.
 At different times it has been thought to be form of matter, a thin, weight less fluid, kind of force, a variety of motion and a disturbance in the ether which is supposed to fill all space, in- cluding pores in most solid metals. Electricity is not something created by man. He has simply discovered ways of turning it's manifestations to prac- tical account.
 From the time that Thales observed, centuries before the Christian era, that amber, after being rubbed by silk, had the property of attracting light bodies like bits of paper, discoveries of cleo tric phenomena were made from time to time, but they were detached from a realization of the great possibilities brought to light in recent years.
 Electricity becomes evident when rendered active by some molecular dis turbance. such as friction, rupture or chemical action. Scientists today re- gard it as neither energy nor matter, but, like heat, light and sound, it is an effect produced by energy on matter.
 It has been discovered that electric ity is q self existent property, by which we are everywhere surrounded. and human as well as inanimate bodies can be charged with 1t. From this we can understand that many more remark able discoveries of its application will be made.-Rocky Mountain News.

JAPANESE MINERS
 HAD NO GRUB
Hobo Bay Company Failed To Pro- vide for the Men Sent North
 Several Months Ago.

The Admiral Evans picked up eight starving Japanese miners wno had been working on the Shamrock Min ing company's property at Hobo bay. The men had been sent to the mine some months ago but the company had failed to send north any supplies for the outfit and consequently the men asked for transportation south on the Evans. The party were sup piled with food by Captain Jensen on the way west and the men picked up last night on the trip to Seattle.
 The Shamrock property is said to be owned by M. N Matsuo, a Seat tie Japanese merchant, who visited the mine early last February and a little later sent the eight miners north.
 The eight Japanese miners had each paid the promoters from $10O to $200 a piece, according to information re- ceived here, and they are anxious to reach Seattle so as to interview Matsuo.

A MARVEL IN METAL.
Story of Steel Flea Made In Ger
 many and Sent to Russia.

The Russian peasants, of course, are neither scientists nor technologists; but even they think that they can do q few things-and especially work met als-ns skillfully as anybody. A cen tury or two ago, according to folk tale current in Russia, the gossudar (the czar) called together a dozen or more peasants who had reputation for skill in the working of metals and exhibited to them steel flea of natu. ral size which had been made in Ger. many" and had been sent to him, part ly as gift and partly to show the deli cacy of the German smiths work. The gossudar handed it to the peasants on a plate and said:
 Look at that! You think that you can work metals, but I don't believe there's one of you can duplicate that steel fiea."
 The peasants said, Perhaps not, ba- tushka Qittle father), but if you will let us take the flea home We will see what we can do."
 The czar consented, and they retired. A day or two later they reappeared, and with low bows presented to their monarch on a plate the same German flea. but without the expected dupli. cate.
 "Ah" said the czar. You couldn't make another. knew you couldn't"
 twill your majesty deign to look at the flea through magnifying glass" replied the peasants.
 A glass was brought. and upon close inspection it was found that the Rus sian metal workers had shod the Ger man flea with steel shoes.-Outlook.

DEEP SEA EXPLORATIONS.

Fishing With a Limo That Is Some
 times Over Six Miles Long.
 The Albatross, the vessel that has been used by the oceanographers for some thirty years in deep sea explora- tions, fishes with line three miles long, often four miles long, sometimes six miles long or over, a line of slender cable, but wonderfully strong, rolled off deck winch by a sputtering steam engine, that will bring up from the ocean floor three or four ton haul of sponges, crinoids, jellyfish, sea urchins, giant crabs, long white worms that break in two If you touch them, phosphorescent trees (really animals), sea cucumbers with hideous heads, starfish. devilf1sh, pelican fish, lantern fish, sharks teeth, whales ear bones, sea cows ribs and scores of other ex- traordinary things.
 The Albatross follows no beaten paths of commerce. She goes where other vessels rarely go. She explores forgotten corners of tha seven seas, drops her great nets by day and by night, takes hundreds of soundings in uncharted waters and, after cruise of months, brings home her trophies for final safe keeping in jars filled with alcohol and labeled with Greek and Latin names. This sort of work she has been doing for thirty odd years, ever since George W. Baird designed her engines for the United States fish, cries service in 1882. It is worthy of note that the Albatross was the first steel steamer built in America.-Cleve- land Moffett in American Magazine.

 A veteran railroad man gave piece of valuable advice some time ago.
 'If you ever get into wreck" he said, land have time to follow out this suggestion remember this: Always stand in the aisle. Most of the in. jnries that are suffered occur because the victim Is crushed between the seats. If you are in the aisle you may be thrown forward and bruised lit tie. but there is much less chance of receiving serious hurts. It isn't always possible to get out of your seat before the crash comes. but if it is follow that advice."-Louisville Courier-Jour- nal.
