Spain as a Republic.

Isabella H. when thirteen years old was declared of age by the cortes in 1S4G, and after stormy reign of twen' ty-fve years was deposed by revolu- tion which began in the fleet on Sept 1S, 1868, and was joined by the garri- son and city of Cadiz and by nearly all of Spain during the month. A pro- visional government was established and Marshal Serrano was made regent. The cortes voted for monarchy on May 21. 1869. and after several offers of the throne had been refused it was finally accepted by Amadeus. duke of Aosta. who was proclaimed king on Nov. [. 1870.
 After an uncomfortable reign he ab- dicated in 1873 and was succeeded by another republic. which lasted for two years, when Alfonso XII. son of Queen Isabella and father of the pres ent king. was elevated to the throne.

Artificial lndjuo,

Artificial indigo owes much of It's commercial success to an accident. AL though synthetic indigo was first pro- duced in 1870. it did not become a se- rious rival to the natural article un- til a thermometer was accidentally broken and the contents of the bulb ran into the heated mixture of naph- thalene that was all too slowly being converted into phthalic acid. the basis of artificial indigo. It was then ob- served that the conversion became much more rapid, and from that day the use of mercury has played big part in making artificial indigo com mercial success. The accident occur red after years of patient research. and it is now the boast of chemists that they are able to produce on a commercial basis compound exactly the same' as natural indigo.-London Standard.

Frederick the Greats Joke.

Among the embellishments which Berlin owes to Frederick the Great the "new palace" is the most conspicuous. This magnificent building was erected. it is said. to show Frederick's enemies that his many wars had not exhausted his exchequer. And further to show his contempt for the countries which had sought to crush him at the top of the cupola he placed group of three women dancing together. the figuring representing Catherine the Great. Ma ria Theresa and Mime. de Pompadour. The wrath of the two expresses was unbounded at finding themselves de- picted in such an attitude and such company. so Frederick was able to con- gratulate himself on thoroughly suc- cessful joke.

The Reuss henrys.

For 700 years. every prince of the house of Reuss has been christened Henry, with distinguishing numeral. but the task of identifying them is ren. dered doubly difficult owing to the ex- lstence of two branches. each of which has a different system of numeration. The elder line begins the numbering anew after each batch of 100 Henrys. whereas the younger. line goes by the centuries, numbering its princes as they are born from l. upward through each complete hundred years. The territo- ries of the two branches comprise lit- tie more than 400 square miles. divided into Reuss-Schleiz-Gera and Reuss- Greiz. For centuries the Montenegro of the Gerlnanic countries. both branches joined the German confedera- ton in 1915, but the elder line (Reuss- Greiz) sided with Austria in 1866. and the principality narrowly escaped be- ing incorporated with Prussia.-West- minister Gazette.

STARTING TO MINE
 BERING RIVER COAL

KATALLA: w. H. Dugdell has ob- tained a permit from the Controller Bay Coal Company, known locally as the Mcdonald Company, to mine coal in their patented claim on Boring lake. He now has crew of men at the mine getting the same into shape for actual work after which he hopes to supply Katalla and vicinity with Bering River coal.
 In 1907 T. P. Mcdonald expended $175,000 developing mine on this claim. Final proof was made on this claim, together with the two adjoin- ing ones, the purchase price paid to the government and the final receipt for same received. After selling some 150O tons of coal from the develop melt, Mir. Mcdonald made a contract with the Katalla Company, then con- structing railroad at this place. to supply them with coal. In 1908 at the request of the Navy Department, MT. Mcdonald furnished the battle ship Nebraska with thirty. tons of coal to make test. The report dated May 3, 1908, shows that the test was made in competition with Pocahon- tas coal, the Mcdonald coal being used under one set of boilers and the Pocahontas coal under another set. Within the elapsed time only 15.2 tons of McDonald coal was used as against 19.7 tons of Pocahontas coal. This resulted in the Navy sending Mr. Mcdonald contract to sign for 9 supply of 1000 tons of his coal along tide the navy collier in Controller Bay at SC per ton. Before McDon id received the blank contract, Lou s R. Glavis got busy and served or ders on Mcdonald to mine no more :oal at his peril. Since that time the mine has been lying idle, the machill- cry and equipment rusting away and he buildings falling into ruin, while the government has been stalling. Last year a patent. was granted for ;he claim on which the money had neen expended.
 When MT. Dugdell gets the mine
 in working order again Katalla peo- ole are hoping to get their coal for a little less than the $21 per ton they nave had to pay for British Columbia coal the last nine years, while mil lions of acres of the best coal in the world lay within 13 miles of them.
 MT. A. M. Heating, chief engineer of field work for Alaska Petroleum 6 Goa! Company, is at present in the field surveying preliminary line for he railroad from the company's ter ninal on Controller Bay direct to the coal mines. Two timber cruisers are looking over the supply of timber, etc., in view of using same for the construction work which will begin in June.
 Chas. Auer, acting for the under writers, has been refused possession of the lumber barge, Washington, which went ashore on Big Kayak isl and last fall. The boys who took charge of the wreck at that time are still aboard.
