THEY WERE QUITE GENEROUS
 WITH THEIR COMPLIMENTS

LONDON, Jan. 24-A correspon- dent of the Gazette who was at the time sejourning in Bulgaria when the Kaiser made his visit to King Ferdinand, says that at banquet both monarchs delivered addresses. King Ferdinand thanked the Emper- or for his visit, and said:
 "1'he world learned to know with surprise and admiration the strength of Germany ana her allies, and be- heves in the invincibility of the German army under the guidance and leadership of its Eemperor."
 Emperor William, in his address, thanked King Ferdinand for the ap- pointment as chief of the Twelfth Balkan Infantry regiment.
 "Your words prove," said Emperor William, "that we, in estimating this hour, are filled with the same feel ing Challenged by our enemies We and our loyal allies have been struck at the very root of our strength. We found hard fight which soon spread farther. When Turkey, threatened by the same enemies, joined us, and by stubborn fighting reassured her worlds position, your majesty's prudence recognized that the hour had come for Bulgaria to bring forward your old claims and to smooth the way for your brave country to 9 glorious future. Your majesty's nation in arms added one sublime leaf of glory to another in the history of Bulgaria.
 "In order to give expression to my feelings for such deeds and to the feelings of Germany, I have begged your majesty to accept the dignity of Prussian field marshal and l with my army, am happy that you, in accepting it, also in this sense become one of us.
 "With firmest confidence I raise my glass to the welfare of your majesty's house, to the victory of the glorious Bulgarian army and to Bulgaria's future"

 SOLDlETS' MISERY
DOGS ARE USED TO DRIVE
 RATS OUT OF TRENCHES

PARIS, Jan. 20--Four special trains of dogs have just been sent to different parts of the French battlefront. One train of 20 cars had 20 dogs in each car-for ter riers, rat terriers, police dogs and other breeds-to be divided between different sections of the front, and most of them employed in chasing rats out of the trenches. Attract ed by the ramains of the soldiers rations, rats invaded the advance works shelters and trenches, even on the firstline, and multiplied to such an extent that the soldiers are incapable of externinating them. Dogs are now to be tried.
 Three special trains of dogs, car rying about 800 dogs each, in a large proportion wolf hounds, but including specimens of nearly all breeds, were a gift from Canada to the French army They are to be employed mostly in the mountainous regions, in the commisary and sani- tary services, while some of them will be trained as sentinels and trench dogs.

A DAY IS NOT ALWAYS
 OF TWENTY FOUR HOURS

A day is generally supposed to be a period of twenty-four hours, but this not necessarily so. The period of the suns position above the hor- izon also constitutes day.
 The actual measure of time cover ed by day as we know it is 23 hours and 56 minutes and 5 seconds.
 In some parts of Norway the day lasts two whole months without in- terruption. Three and half months constitutes the period of the longest day in Spitzbergen, while the short ,ost only registers two and helt hours. That is, judging the actual period of light, which would be tho natural day.
 Petrograd's longest day is nine teen hours and the shortest five At Hamburg the longest is sew enteen and the shortest seven.

A.aGl GnRMAN SUBMARINES
 LOST ATTACKING FLEE1

ATHENS, Jan. Follow eight German submarines that set out to
 tack the Brush great fleet were lsAer destroyed or captured was .eserihed in a story told by Lord kitchener on his recent visit here. No public account of the affair was ever given.
 "When the maneuvers of the great fleet were held about a month ago north of Scotland" said Lord Kitchener, eight German subma- rines of the newest and strongesc type went out with the purpose of getting to the fleet and playing hav- oc with the maaeuvers. One came so gricf in our North sea net. The
 hers nosed through and approach ed ehe fleet. But there was another net heading them off. They tried so break through to get around to find an opening, but there was none. Two more we're lost in this effort. Finally the remainder decided to return to their base at Helgoland.
 "But they could no longer find their way out. The gate and the nets had been closed. Two more were lost desperately trying to get through. The remaining three fin ally were forced to come to the sur face and surrender themselves. We took them intact-crews, submarines and all"

As soon as the pile driving is completed the canning machinery will be moved 70 an adjoining room, constructed last year, for the purpose of pro- viding more space for can cooling and labelling.
 The moving of the machinery will greatly add to the convenience of handling the finished product, as it
 i'll combine their cooling space and eliminate the possibility of becom- ng crowded as the result of heavy days run.
 Can making machinery has been ordered and the work of making cans for use during the coming sea- son will begin about the first of May.

[ WALTER PAUL, NATIVE
 ACCIDENTLY DROWNED
(From Wrangell Sentinel)

(From Wrangell Sentine)
 WRANGELL, Jan. 20.--The body of Walter Paul, native, who was drowned last week was brought to Wrangell, together within all the witnesses in the case, and an inquest was held and verdict of accidental drowning returned.
 he facts of the case as brought out at the inquest seem to be that Walter Paul and Harry Yura, Jap anese, left Wrangell on their way to Rake, and when near five mile island they overlook another gas boat belonging to. Geo. White, who was aboard with his wife and an- other native named JackGeorge Walter Paul put 8 tow line on the boat and lowed them to the mouth of Wrangell Narrows where they anchored for the night. It seems that before leaving town that Yura had purchased good supply of
 
 liquor and that night after anchor ing Jack George came aboard the boat and the three of them started to sample the fire water and before long they were under the influence of the booze, the Japanese and Jack George laid down on the bunk and went to sleep. The Jap awoke some time later hearing cries rom the water and arousing Jack George they went out on deck and discovered Waltr Paul struggling in the water. After some time they succeeding in getting a boat lowered and dragged the drowning man on deck where they triedto revive him but all efforts were in vain and he never regained conscienceness after being taken from the water After all efforts to bring him too proved of no avail his body was placed in the hole of the ship and the next morning they proceeded to Peters, burg and reported the arrair to Mar shall Kildall there.
 As the Commissioner at Petersburg was away the case was placed in the hands of Commissioner Thomas here who wired to bring the bodg and witnesses here for the inquest. Harry fura at hearing pleaded guilty of the charge of furnishing liquor to Indians and was sentenc- ed to serve ten months in the Fed era1 jail at Juneau. He will he taken north on the boat tomorrow by Marshal Wallace to start serving his sentence.

INDIAN WAY OF KEEKING TIME

Certain of the reservation In- dians still cling to the calendar of their ancestors. The Indian method was to compute time by sleeps and moons. A sleep is twenty-four hours, and a moon is a month. There Is also midmoon, where the sun- is at 12 o'clock meridian. This hour is indicated by pointing overhead.
 When an Indian pointed quarter way up the sky, he meant 9 O. clock; when he pointed quarter way dow, he meant o'clock. Sunrise was the eastern horizon and sunset the western. Night was indicated by holding the hands together, palms downward, stretching out the arms and holding the body and head bent forward.

CAvEMAN HAD GIGANTIC COW
(American Boy)

Imagine, if you can, an animal so gigantic that it's wrists are nearly twice the size of those of an elephant, it's tail as bulky as the dray horses chest, it's feet as large as the many-knotted roots of gum tree, and you will gain some con- ception of the appearance of MT. Stonehatchet's COW. When Q curious skin was found by natives in 2 cave at Last Hope Inlet, Patagonia the La Plata museum sent out an expedition to investigate. The finds made by this party were most in- teresting. Digging in the cave brought to light more of the skin and then some bones and claws, sufficient parts of the animal for the scientists to determine that they were the remains of gigantic prehistoric ground sloth.
 But as the natural haunts of the prehistoric sloths were the forests, what was the animal doing in this cavern puzzled the investigators, and they began to search further for more clews.
 Finally they found two awls made from the leg bones of dog and the skeleton of rat as big as a New foundland dog, and then the skull of MT. Stonehatchet, the cave man himself.
 It dawned upon the searchers that they were in the former home of MT. Stonehatchet, who for some useful purpose, had evidently do mesticated the giant sloth and kept it in captivity. Further evil dence of the domesticated nature of the animal was found when a large quantity of cut hay was unearthed. It was accepted by the scientists that the only possible reason for the stabling of the huge sloth in the cave was to be found in the large quantity of milk furnished by the monster, as it possessed a re. markable series of enormous milk hags, extending all the way down its thorax. Beyond dispute, they had discovered Nr. Stonehat -aet's COW. And what a COW! With such an animal producing probably 20 times as much milk as the best bossy today, there was no danger of Mr. Stonehatchet and his wife and all the large family of little Stone hatchets going hungry.
