THE FATAL
Workers Whose Lives Are Not Worth
a Dime, According to Figures
of Insurance Firms!
Your life is not worth a dime, not
even a battered-up nickel, according
to insurance companies, if you are
listed among the FATAL SEVEN -
which consists Of
SteepIe jacks,
AViators,
Soldiers,
Dynamite employees,
Jockeys,
Auto racers,
Groonns who ride the hounds.
Insurance companies keep a closer
tab on deaths than anybody else in |
the world. Deaths cost them money,
and to reduce the risks they have |
figured things out on a percentage
basis.
They will not insure in some walks
of life. They will take a chance on a
soldier, in time of peace, but a rider
in his policy makes it void during
war. The other chaps in the fatal
seven" they won't insure at all.
There are other "undesirables''-
sailors, prison guards, bridge build
ers, irOnWOrkers, players in the mo-
Vies. Insurance companies charge
high rates when insuring any persons
of these occupations.
Actresses are too temperamentaI
for travelling and they have to
travel, according to the risk firms.
Distilery workers pay $40 per $1,000
for policies.

EARRING PLANKS
 TO ASCERTAIN IF
 BENEFITS ACCRUE

The Street Department of Juneau, acting under instructions from the City Council, is trying a new expert ment on the planked thoroughfares of the city. They have swept clean space twenty feet long and half the width of the street on lower rFont Street and a heavy coating of real thick coal tar will be spread over the planklng. Later another coating will be spread and the street will then be opened for traffic
 The experiment is in the nature of test to determine whether the coating of tar will add anything to the life of the planking, and if so, if 1t will make enough difference to pay for the cost of spreading it.
 It is expected that the tar will impregnate the blanks and keep the water from soaking into the wood and softening 1t and will also keep the direct wear Of wagon and auto wheels off the blanks. The wear and tear of the traffic will be taken up by the upper coating of tar.
 The work of cleaning the street and applying the tar is being done by w. D. Kegselring, the foreman of the street department for the city.

ADMIRAL EVANS
 TO REACH PORT
 NOON TOMORROW

Captain Glascock Of the steamer Admiral Evans reported to the of- flee of the Pacific Steamship Com pany this morning that the Admiral Evans would arrive here tomorrow at noon.

 The Evans has almost a full pas. senger list. according to the advices received, and will be able to take but few from Juneau. The Evans is returning from her last trip to Anchorage and also making her last trip under the flag of the Pacific Alaska Navigation Company She left Seattle the day before the trans fer took place and the agreement was that all ships then at sea should their round trip under the old company flag

Steamer Northwestern Has Fierce Time in Storm-Expected
 Here Tonight.
Thlo afternoon Agent Now ell reeelevd word that tho Northwestern would reach port this afternoon about five o'clock.

Battling with monster seas and the raging gale for nearly so hours, the steamer Northwestern has been wallowing around in the Gulf of Alaska bound from Cordova to Ju- neau.

 According to the officers of the Watson they also received the re- port by wireless that the big freight CT Cordoya is hove too ten miles farther off shore than the North western.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Prof O. NJ. W. Sprague. of Harvard. says that the prices prevailing at the close of the European war will prob ably remain the standard for 10 or 15 years afterward The destruc- ton of European capital, caused by the war. will tend to bring about an advance of interest rates, but the tendency might be offset by some shrinkage in the European de- mand for capital.

Animals We Never Met.

Dr. n. A. Cobb, an authority on
zoology. declares that there must be
hundreds of thousands of species Of
neematodes, or threadworms, more
than nine-tenths of which are still I'M
known to science. OF the parasitic
nematodes infesting vertebrate ami
mails alone it is estimated that there
are at least $4,000 species. Insects,
mollusks, crustaceans and other animal
groups are also much infested. and as
a rule a given species Of nematode is
peculiar to a single species of host.
Lastly. the species Of nematode living
free in soil and water vastly Outnum-
bers the parasitic species. As these
creatures are enormously prolific, the
number of individuals must be quite
beyond conception. DR.. Cobb estimates
that in the upper foot of an arabic soil
the number of nematodes runs to thou
sands of millions an acre.-Exchange.

Panama Canal Chains.

The huge locks Of the Panama canal
are guarded by massive chains stretch
ed across the channel. No vessel can
crash into the gates at any of the locks
because of these tenders. placed seven
ty feet from each gate and near the
surface of the water. If the chains
are struck by a boat they gradually
yield to the force, paying out to GER
tain distance. which depends upon the
violence of the impact.
The mechanisms which regulate the
chain tenders are installed on either
wall. A system of hydraulic cylinders
Is used for raising and lowering the
chains. The action of the fender when
struck by boat is modified in part by
the friction produced in the machinery,
but mainly by the resistance produced
by water flowing through valves

Computation of Time.

There Is no uniform rule adhered to
by all the cases as to the computation
Of time where the last day for the do
ing of an act falls on Sunday, states
Willis A. ostrich in Case and Com
ment The rule sustained by the weight
Of authority is that where an act IS re-
quired to be done within a given time
and the last day Of that time falls on
Sunday, the, act may be done on the
Monday following.
The rule as thus announced has been
established by statute In most states
providing that, if the last day on which
an act IS to be done falls on Sunday
or holiday, that day is to be excluded
in the computation Of time. Under
these statutes the general rule Is that
when an act Is to be done on a day
which happens to be Sunday 1t may
be done on the Monday following, but
the rule is not universal nor generally
applicable to all questions Of computa-
ton Of time.

Iapan's Curious Museum.

Probably the very oldest museum In
the world is that at Nara, the ancient
capital Of Japan. 1t was founded in the
year 756 A. D., and all the articles
therein are Of an. earlier date, for, al
though Nara has gone through all the
vicissitudes of the empire, not one new
article has been added to the collec-
ton. The museum is in safe and care
full custody, and fits doors are opened
only once every year. On that day
committee goes over the collection, tab
ulates it and compares the list. with
those made previously. The 5000 ar
ticles in the collection are Of lacquer
ware, decorative furniture, enamel
ware, cambric-nke fabrics and Of other
kinds and are among the very finest
Of their species that the world has pro-
duced. Some come from China and
some from Korea, but most Of them
appear to have been brought from lands
further afield.

Mines of Nevada.

Nevada is a Spanish word meaning
Snowy" or "white as snow" and the
name of the state, says a bulletin of
the United States geological survey,
was derived from the Sierra Nevada.
The state ranks sixth in size in the
Union. Its length from north to south
is 4S4 miles, its width 321 miles and its
area 109,S21 square miles.
The history of Nevada is chiefly the
history of her mines. Since the discov-
cry of the Comstock lode and other IA
nous ore bodies periods Of activity
and prosperity have alternated with
periods of depression. Each discov-
cry of high grade ore in noteworthy
quantity has been followed by rapid
settlement in that locality and the es-
tablishment of one or more towns.
