Harm Done by Hert,ian Waves.

Ever since the extensive commercial
employment of wireless telegraph,
there have been many who believe
that the powerful Hertzian waves Sc
riously affect organic life. In fact,
some have even suggested that laws
or regulations should be enacted to
protect organic life against wireless
waves. With view to determining
the extent and nature of the radio
waves influence on organic life and
climate. DR.. c. Abel-Musgrave recent
ly asked several questions on the sub
ject to be answered by a number of
prominent German scientists. The
summary of their answers was that
wireless waves have no influence on
organic life, nor do they alter climatic
conditions, although 1t is true that
certain electrical stresses are capable
of accelerating rainfalls.

ANTI.LlouoR SENTIMENT.

In an article showing that the
greatest nations in Europe are against
alcohol" the Philadelphia North Amer
ican has this to say about Germany:
rs 1t not disconcerting to find that
the great anti-alcohol movement
which is sweeping Europe had its be-
ginning in the land of the $4,000 brew
cries? A scientific pamphlet written
in 1886 by Professor van Bunge, was
the start OF campaign which has pro-
duced an anti-liquor congress in every
advanced country on the continent,
and a biennial international congress
that draws delegates from nearly ev-
cry considerable nation.
THE growth Of sentiment against the
evil has been almost Incredible. In
the year 1898 there was only one
known total abstainer of prominence
in the German empire, a noted Ham
burg engineer. In 1897 leading ply
sician undertook TO urge abstinence
upon members Of his profession, and
after months OF work found himself
with a total OF nine signatures; but
ten years later 500 physicians had
Joined.
1T was a German university, that of
Berlin, which first established a scien-
tific course on the alcohol evil, in 1906.
1t was the German kaiser who few
years ago declared himself an abstain
er, and enjoined the army and navy
to follow his example. 1t is a noted
German army physician who has de-
clared: 1t must be considered in eom-
patible with the honor OF city or
government to allow the activities OF
poison factories, such as breweries
and distilleries.' There is a
strong anti-liquor movement among
the Socialists. For more than
three years the sale OF beer in
the great Krupp works has been for
hidden. That and other big industries
steel works, shipyards and mines
supply tea free to their workers, or
milk at cost, and forbid the sale OF
beer. At one huge plant the con.
sumption of beer fell from 147 900 bar.
rels in 1909 to 14,500 barrels in 1911.
The Berlin railways have forbidden
the use of beer during working hours
and similar action has been taken by
the government railways of Baden and
Alsace-Loraine, where anti-alcohol
placards are posted in all the sta
tions."

FOUND FAIR CLIENTS HUBBY
Sleuth's Methods Took Time, but Once
on the Trail He Was Certain
OF Success.

After the third injection OF iced tea
the great detective turned to his fair
visitor and said you soy your hus-
band used TO be baseball umpire and
all you know of his whereabouts or
other belongings is that he is en-
ployed as a waiter at one OF the city
restaurants?"
'Excisely,' replied his visitor with a
slight foreign accent, according to the
Detroit Free Press.
Il will find him for you, but 1t may
take all day." said the great detective.
And going TO the telephone he called
up the proprietor of every restaurant
In the city and extracted from each a
promise not to allow any iiapjaeks to
be made that day.
Now come with me-" said the great
detective, and they began a tour of the
city's 2l3 restaurants. Not until the
one hundred and fifteenth did the
great detective genius find it's reward.
"A plate of fiapjacks with two
straws, please" he ordered for the
one hundred and fifteenth time.
The waiter threw back his head and
strange mystic light shone In his
eyes as he intoned loudly; Batter is
out!"
your umpire!" cried the great de-
.ective, and. leaping to his feet, he
stripped the walters false mustache
from his face
II was his fair clients husband.

NOT ALTOGETHER SELFISH.

1T is not altogether for purely eco

Germs oppose drinking on the part Of
their employees" says President Glib
son Of the Chicago Pressed Steel com
pany. THE average employer is
greatly interested in the welfare of
his work-people. He wants to see
them prosperous and happy. He also
wants to get the largest possible re-
turns in his business and there is no
conflict between these two aims.
Whatever improves the physical, men.
tai and moral conditions of workmen
also increases their efficiency and so
brings in greater profits to the en-
ployer."

SEVERAL RESTRAINTS FOR
 FOR POLITICAL HONORS

Who will be the next speaker of the house of representatives of the Alaska assembly, and the president of the senate? That is now an interesting question with members and prOspec tive members. Last assembly Suther land was president of the senate and E. B. Collins speaker in the house Collins was defeated for reelection from the Fourth division
 Frank Aldrich is the Democratic as pirant for president of the senate, and w. T. Burns, of the Fourth divi- sion, is the Democratic candidate for speaker of the house The Republi- cans have a majority of one in both the house and senate, and it would seem that by a unanimous vote they could name most of the legislative of ficers. No doubt there will be some lively caucuses held in Juneau before the legislature convenes to determine the presiding officers and the clerk of the house and senate and other leading officers and employees.-EX.

CAMP PA|GN BEGUN IN BRAZIL ON
 HOOkWORN

$40 PAULO, Brazil, Nov. 27. - Health authorities of the state of Rio de Janeiro announced today that they would accept the offer of the Inter national Health Board Of the Rocke- feller Foundation, which proposes to cooperate with the Brazilian govern ment in a campaign to be waged against the hOokworm. It is estimated that hundreds of thousands of labor CTS and others are suffering from the effects Of this parasite, which is sap ping their vigor and decreasing the crop output by at least 100 per cent.
 Dr. Lewis Wendell Hackett, of liar yard University. who is one of the staff of physicians sent out by the Foundation, arrived here from New York a short time ago, and as a result Of his conferences with the authori- ties here. the announcement of the campaign was made. This is of par ticular interest to the planters of the state of Sac Paul, where three-quarters of the coffee crop of Brazil and nearly one-half of that of the world is grown.
 A coffee plantation is one of the greatest known breeders of the hook worm. The trees grow on a very wet soil in a rolling or hilly country, and as they require shade, the ground un- derneath is in continuous soggy con dition. Here the dangerous worm pro- pagates with great rapidity, and is in troduced into the system of the hu- mans through the bare feet of the crop pickers and cultivators.

Alaska was hustled aboard a small boat and sent to Katalla, south of Cor dova.
 One of the most common methods used by the bootleggers to evade the law is to order liquor by express, di- recting that the shipments be sent to as many different names as necessary to keep the packages below the size allowed by law.
 From an official from the inlet, we'll acquainted with the situation, 1t was learned recently that liquor purchased in Seward and taken to Anchorage amount to a small part of the total landed there during the past summer as to be hardly worth consideration.
 While a few large shipments hand led by known bootleggers were seized during the summer, the most exten- sive shipments which came consigned to reputable merchants or were ship ped subject to order and bills of lad ing, with draft attached sent through the banks, went through without seiz- ure.

N ] DISTRESS IN IRELAND AT
 THIS TIME

DUBLIN, Nov. 27. The Dublin correspondent of the Associated Press has interviewed the Right Hon. James Gallagher, lord mayor of Dublin, in reference to the statements which have been made regarding a supposed exceptional state of distress in the city due to the April rebellion, and it's suppression.
 The lord mayor said: We are ab- solutely better off this year than last year. notwithstanding the rebellion. There is, as far as can see no excep- tional distress at all. There is, on the contrary, good deal of money com ing into the city for separation allow anCes for the dependents of the men. most of them of the working classes, who joined the army. Information ob- tained from various traders in the city enable me to say that trade is as good if not better than it was twelve months ago. Moreover, employment has been added to owing to the amount of mu- milton work done in the city. We have five or six factories each employing from one hundred to six hundred hands. Women are earning very good wages, and Dublin women have proved very adaptable in shell making. The result is that the government is able to turn out shells in Dublin and in Ireland generally cheaper than it can do it in England"
