A Diplomatic Official.

During the reign of Emperor Napo- icon III. he and the empress visited Normandy and had arranged to spend a couple of days at Evreux. M. Jan vier de la Monte. who was the prefect, learned that the revolutionaries intend ed to hiss the sovereigns as they pass ed, and so he summoned the leaders of the movement and told them that he knew of their plot. If you carry out your plan" said he to them. you will get six months in prison. If you do not your friends will accuse you of cowardice and treason. As way out of the difficulty l propose to lock you up at once until the emperor has gone." The conspirators accepted the terms offered them. and so the emper- or was greeted only by cheers, as the revolutionaries, frightened at the ar- rest of their chiefs. had not dared to utter sound.

PENS OF THE PAST.
The old Time Quill and the Art of
 Putting a Point on 1t.

The Old Time Quill and the Art of
 Putting Point on 1t.
 Quill pens are no longer used except in rare old fashioned instances. but people still use "penknives" can see the name any day in the cutlery store windows-but they do not use them to make or mend pens. In fact. where is there a man or woman who knows how to put point on q quill? It was once an art which every man had to master, though women were generally bad at it. as they are now at sharpening pencils.
 In the old days the first question asked of schoolmaster was the one whether he was skillful in pointing Guills. for he had to sharpen the pens of his whole school and incidentally in- struct his pupils in the art. Alas! There is no modern pen of steel or gold that is so smooth. so swift. so alluring as good quill pen. The writer is very sure of that, for his father used to tell him so.
 The art of handwriting has certainly declined since the quill pen went out of use. The old fellows could really write. We still pay them an unconscious trib- ute by calling writer quill driver" and picturing the pen. when- ever we have to make an abstract rep resentation of it. as. a quilL--New York Mail.

WE'LL KNOWN EXPORTER
 VISITING IN ALASKA

Danilo Vucetich, now ap exporter and merchant of the Pacific Coast
 but a cousin to the exiled king of Montenegro, is at present in Seward
 looking around, possibly with a view to extending his business connections.
 f4e is Hooking around" anyhow, to use an old expression, but last even ing he held roomful of people in the
 Commercial Club while he told most interesting things about the Balkans and the near east. MT.
 Vucetich is of Serbian, Slavic, nation :ality but was born in the city of Con-
 stantinople. He is cousin of the
 present exiled king of Montenegro and his name Danilo was taken from
 Prince 4Danilo of Montenegro whose
 name has appeared so frequently in publications since the outbreak of the
 war. MT. Vucetich smiles when ex- Eplaining his relationship to Nicholas
 His grandmother was first cousin to
 the mother of the king but Mr
 Vucetich reminds one that our idea of royalty in the Balkans is different all together from the actuality. The king of Montenegro lived in a modest house in the tiny capital and some times would sit at the open window and speak to the neighbors as they
 passed by while at times he walked into the friends houses and visited
 just as priest or parson might. The sons of the king are accustomed
 to walk into cafes like any boys and make themselvs at home. Mr.Vucet- ich has all the patriots certainty that the Allied nations will win the war and that brave Serbia and Mon tenegro will again come to their own. He says three hundred thousand Ser 'bian troops escaped from Serbia and are now on the island of Corfu. at rAvlona and at Sslonica, ready to take Ithe field again when the allied ad- vance is ordered from Greek terri tory He also tells the most remark Iah}e fact that Serbians never emi-
 grate from Serbia and not hundred of them can be found in the Gnited States. The Serbians here are the Iones who lived under Austrian or Bulgarian or Turkish rule. In Ser hia every man must have little land and when a man does not hold his land he is aa undesirable citizen.
 Although born in Constantinople MT. Vueetich has been again and again in Serbia and Montenegro, his birth in the Turkish capital having been only an accident, by the way, which does not seem pleasant by his certainty
 that the Russians are surely now on the way around the Black sea to con- Quer Turkey.-Gateway.

A fsh's tail is it's wings. Owing to the machinery of muscle set along it's spine and to it's cleaving form trout or salmon can dart through the water at tremendous pace. 'thotgh it's rap i'd flights. unlike the birds. are not long ones. It is soon tired. The water is not so friendly to flight as the air. The stroke of the fish's tail is one of great power, and by means of it and the writhing. snakelike nexion of the body a high speed is reached. The strength behind this speed is shown in the way fish or sea mammal out of the water will raise its tail and strike the ground or boat.

FINANCIAL ECONOMY.
One Msn's Scheme When He Found His
 Capital Was Shrinking.

One Msn's Scheme When He Found His
 Capital Was Shrinking.
 What one man did when he discover ed his capital was shrinking is told in the American Magazine:
 "A friend let me into secret of bis financial economy which strikes me as valuable. He is of middle age. with small family. and has an income Of $3.5O0 Q year. He has put by a few thousand dollars. His investments are In gilt edged securities.
 At the end of every six months he figures out exactly the value of his property. Each share of stock. each bond is reckoned at it's present market price. and the sale value of his house is placed at the lowest figure. To the current value of his estate he adds his life insurance The result is the capi- tai which would be available for the support of his wife and children should he suddenly die.
 At the last three reckonings my friend found that his capital was shrinking. There had been declines in certain stocks and bonds and falling off in the value of his real estate. What did he do: Commiserate him. iself? Not at all. He went to a life in surance company and took out a policy large enough more than to cover the shrinkage in his capital. Comparative ly speaking it cost him very little. but it added neat sum ito the value of his estate and guaranteed an unim- paired income to his wife,

Victor HuQo.

Victor Hugo was the wealthiest of the nineteenth century authors and also the hardest. At one time he made less than 1000 francs last him and his brother for eighteen months, and one chop would serve for lunch three days in succession. But this early absti. hence did not spoil Hugo's digestion. for at the age of eighty-three he crack ed nuts with his teeth and ate oranges as some folk eat apples-peel and all.

Philadelphia, Pa. They state in their wire that they are offering 500 per unit r. 0. F. Fairbanks for tungsten concentrates, which is S5 per unit better than any of- fer previously received here. And they are said to be a responsible house by those who are familiar with the tungsten situation. The quotation is offered for May de livery.
 It is claimed that the Johnson & Ewers ore now being milled at Chena will go from I2 to Is per cent in tungsten. However, assays made by Paul Hopkins, assayer of the American bank, show that the average ore found in this vicinity will go between five and six per cent in tungsten. That, however, is considered a good showing for it means that ore which goes five per cent in tungsten can be estimated as going about $500 to the ton. The concentrates, after the ore IS l1illed, go 60 per cent and up, therefore the value of the con centrates is approximately S3,- Geo.
 It is claimed by those who l.now that all indications point to deposits of tungsten here Tn paying quantities. The black sand of all of the creeks ill the Fairbanks district carries large quantities of scheelite or calcium tungsten. one form of tungsten.

Since announcement was made 10 the world last fall through the local press realtive to the discov- cry of tungsten in paying quan- titles at the head of Gilmore creek by Johnson X Ewers, d continuous stream of inquiries ot every nature has been received in Fairbanks, says the Alaska Citizen of April 3. Most ot the inquiries came to the local banks and mercantile houses but, as Johnson & Ewers have been the only tungsten operators ot par ticular note to date, very little information concerning tungsten, generally speaking, has been available.
 Inquiries and requests for in formation on the subject, how ever, have now become so mum crous that many prospectors, dropping their search for gold have started out in the hills in search of the less valuable but more plentiful metal. In fact, the demand for tungsten is so great and the prices paid for it so high that, if further discoveries are made in the Fairbanks district, the tungsten industry promises to become as great, if not great CT, than the mining for gold here
 The latest tungsten quotatior to be received here came to the American bank of Alaska last week, in the shape of wire from the Foote Mineral Company ol

RAISING POTATOES
 ON KUSKOKW|M

T he year 1915 was the first season in which any general eff fort has been made to raise "murphys" on the Kuskokwim. The yield was simply enormous. In most instances thd potatoes were sound, of good size, and dry and mealy. The largest sin gle potatoes are reported to have been raised by E. W. Parks, at Parks cinnabar mines, fifteen miles above Georgetown. He used a limestone rock to build his furnaces, and when they became worthless for that purpose, used the lime for a fertilizer. He is reported to have had a number of potatoes weighing more than six pounds each Potatoes weigh ing more than two pounds each were raised on the Aniak, whose waters are heavily charged with lime. Tom L. Johnson, on his homestead at the mouth of the Aniak, had a large yield and was handicapped by lack of seed for planting. His planting for the 1916 crop will be largely in ex- cess of that of last year.
 Many natives planted small patches of potatoes, and were SO we'll pleased with the results that much larger areas will be planted this year, including cabbage and turnips, Last year MT. Arbuckle of the lditarod Pioneer furnish ed nearly 100 sacks of govern ment seeds for distribution to the natives on the Kuskokwim river.
 At the village of Akiak the natives had sold up to the first of March potatoes to the value of $642, and 1t is estimated that they have on their cellars about SIso worth more to sell of the 1915 crop.--Iditarod Pioneer

TUNGSTEN IS IN
 GREAT DEMAND

This fact would indicate that the black sand originally came from some lode or vein in the hills containing large quantities oi tungsten. Wolframite, another important form of tungsten, is found here, but in very small quantities only
 The creeks in this vicinity which show the greatest amount of scheelite are First Chance, a tributary of Goldstream, and Lit tie Eldorado. Large quantities of scheelite are also found in the black sand which comes from Lillian and Gertrude creeks, in the new Tolovana mining dis trict. All of which indicates that large bodies of ore containing tungsten may some day be un- covered near the heads of those streams.
 Johnson X Ewers have already made arrangements for the ship ment of three tons of tungsten concentrates by parcels post, and part of the shipment is being sent outside on every stage. The Ott Mining Company of upper Fair banks creek, also has about one ton of tungsten concentrates ready for shipment. Aside from those two firms, however, nc tungsten has been shipped, as far as can be learned.
