Surface Heat of the Sun.

We think the sun is pretty hot in
summer when the thermometer goes
up to 90 degrees in the shade or out.
We begin 10 get sunburned long time
before 1t reaches that high. But right
ON the suns surface it is between
10000 and 1900 degrees hot. That is.
of course. degree of heat which we
cannot conceive. How much hotter
still it is ON the inside of the sun we
do not as yet know.

JAPANESE STAGE CUSTOMS.
Actors and the Flower Path From the
Green Room Entrance.

The profession of an actor i'm Japan
is not considered high one. says Mr.
| NJ. c. Marcus. the author of work
on the japanese stage and on the
average they are not well paid. Still,
there are exceptions. when play is
staged IL runs at least for twenty
three consecutive days. For such a
term first class man would earn
about $1,000 and his annual income
may be estimated at $500. But it
must not be forgotten that out of this
sum he must provide his own cos
tunes. which are very expensive.
THE curtain does not rise. but is
pulled sideways. and one can easily
see the attendants who are intrusted
with this work. The orchestra is hid
den behind the scenery, while in sort
of proscenium box the reciter sits con
cealed behind curtain of thin BAN
boo. There Is no applause by clapping
hands. as In our theaterS. but the pub
lie stimulates the actors by exclama-
tons In way that may be compared
to the encouraging and cheering of the
dancers in Spain.

10 the platform. This bridge Is called
Flowerpath. The greenroom is closed
by drapery. which the actors of small

the performers have some Importance

HUGHES LABOR RECORD.

When Mr.. Gompers, remembering
only that he is a Democrat and forget
ting that he is a leader Of organized
labor, ventured to assert that Mr..
Hughes is unfriendly to labor because
he cOncurred in the unanimous deci-
sion in the Danbury hatters' case, he
ventured on very thin ice. The Chicago
Tribune promptly reminds him that an
honest judge must apply the law as he
thinks it is, not as he thinks it ought
to be, and asks him to tell those who
look to him for political advice some
thing about the record Of Mr.. Hughes
as governor. Read what the Legislative
Labor News, the official organ of the
New York Federation of Labor, said
editorially when Mr.. Hughes left the
governors chair at Albany for his
place on the Supreme court. Here it is:
"Now that Governor Hughes has re-
tired from petit and assembled to a
place on the highest judicial tribunal
in the world, the fact can lie acknOwl-
edged without hurting anybody's polit-
ical corns that he was the greatest
lIleuu VI ldUOI laws lIul Gt I'll Octupleu
the governors chair at Alb ny. During
his two terms he has signed fifty-six
labor laws. including among them the
best labor laws ever enacted in this or
any state.
"He also urged the enactment of
labor laws in his messages to the legis-
lature, even going so far as to place
the demand for a labor law in one of
his messages to an extra session of the
legislature.
only 1872 labor laws have been en-
acted in this state since its erection in
1777-in 1913 years. One-third of these,
exceeding in quality all of the others,
have been enacted and signed during
Governor Hughes term of three years
and nine months"
Let organized labor take to heart
what the Chicago Tribune says on this
point: "Mr. Hughes is no demagogue
and no visionary. He is a man of cour-
age and conscience, and if labor can
not cOnfide its cause to his rock bot
tom Americanism there is something
wrong with its cause."-Boston Her

While there will be more tourists in Alaska during the next sixty days than were ever seen here during any former "open season" for tourists, the benefits derived by ordinary business interests from such visit ors are small in proportion to that which re- suits from strangers who come north with the view of locating and establishing them selves in some legitimate business It is an old, and partially true, saying that the aver age tourist leaves the east with clean shirt and a twenty-dollar bill and sees half Alaska before changing either This may be some what overdrawn, but the fact remains that tourists who come this way are not profli- gate with their money. It is the man who comes north and travels around with the idea of selecting future home that helps the communities he visits.

THE CELEBRATION

Pioneers on the island, those who parti- eipated in the first and all subsequent Fourth of July celebrations, agree that the celebration of this year and this week was the best in the history of island civilization from standpoints of unity of purpose on the part of all the people, enthusiasm and high class, clean, manly sport.
 In the first place the people decided to hold a celebration and they worked together for that purpose, each and every one doing his share to make the undertaking a success. That it was a glowing success was due to the combined efforts of the people, not of Doug las alone. not of Treadwell alone, but of both towns
 The weather was all that could be desired regular made-to-order weather-and holi- day attire was visible everywhere. But best of all was the holiday spirit that pervaded the island Everybody had it and it was that of true Americansm.
 It is doubtful if anywhere on the Ameri- can continent better or more interesting game of baseball was witnessed than that played between the crack rVal teams or the island Tuesday morning. Eleven innings without a score being made has few, but only few. parallels in the history of the great game. The contests which went before the baseball were clean and manly and those which followed were of the same order The children won and lost with the demeanor of old sports and of true Americans. On the whole. the islanders have occasion orteeling pride in themselves, their firemen, their baseball players, their children-iu fact, in their populacc collectively and as vnit- over the wholesome, sober, high-class and successful manner in which the 14Oth anni- versary of the nation was observed by them. The Fourth of July, 1916, will ever be re- membered as red-lctter page in Douglas Island history.

Diamond drilling goes merrily on in this vicinity on what might properly be called virgin" property and the inference is that it is not being done for the purpose of put ting down holes for fun or for artesian well purposes. The drilling is for the purpose of testing mineral deposits that are believed to exist in the ground in question and that test ing is being done with but one aim in view and that is the opening up of new mines and the installing of new mining plants. At the present time the opposite side of the chan mel is credited with having the most modern mining plants in the world If the ground on this side tests as well as there is every reason for believing it will, the location of the most modern mining plant in the world will undoubtedly be changed to this side of the channel for the reason that improve ments up to the day will be installed While in no way disparaging the plants already in operation on this side, another such as the Alaska Gastineau or Alaska Juneau would lend an air of business to the island that would mean more prosperity than it has ever previously enjoyed And that is just what We may expect and expect with confi- dence.

seemed so honest about 1t that the
reader while protesting that he
couldn't take Smiths statement as
against the decree OF the surrogate's
court, consented to Smiths producing
friends of his to confirm his statement
that he hadn't died.
ut turned out ultimately that Smith
was telling the truth. He hadn't died.
The heirs Of another man OF the same
or similar name or names didn't know
what property their John Smith had
