Distant Thunder.

If we count the seconds that elapse
between our seeing flash Of lightning
and our hearing the thunder we can
tell how far off the thunderstorm is.
As light travels $4,000 miles second,
we may for all practical purposes re-
gard ourselves as seeing the lightning
the instant it flashes. But sound travels
only 1,O87 feet a second. If, then, we
multiply LOST by the number of Sec
onds that elapse after the flash before
we hear the thunder we get the dis
lance that lies between us and the
storm If we count five seconds the
fash is a mile away. AS rule, we do
not hear the thunder at all if the storm
is more than from twelve to fifteen
miles away from us. But the rule has
exceptions. In Symons' Meteorological
Magazine MI. Harold Wilson reports
that last August he saw two flashes Of
lightning in the west northwest Of
England and only heard the thunder
after intervals Of 115 and lip seconds
respectively. He calculates that the
first fash occurred 24.4 miles and the
second flash 238 miles away Profess
or Alexander S. Herschel, it is said.
heard the thunder that followed flash
OF lightning forty-four miles from
where he was.

Airedale Terriers.


Here is the case of a dog made to
order for very definite purpose and
meeting all the specifications. The
Airedale as breed is only little over
half a century old. Yorkshire was his
birthplace. AS to the work that the
new dog was expected to do, there
were foxes and badgers in the hills,
offers in the streams and hares in the
fields and woods. This meant that the
all around dog must have courage. a
keen nose, strength of legs and jaw
and must be equally at home in the
water and on land.
The breed found its way to this
country in the middle eighties and
soon caught on among the fanciers
despite the cry that no terrier should
run above twenty pounds.
His habit Of working for living has
kept the Airedale from becoming too
much the top of the shows and has
given him many opportunities to show
his worth on the farm and in hunting.
He has the terrier willingness to tackle
anything without regard to size or
teeth. One thing the Airedale demands
is room For that reason he is not an
ideal house dog. He is at his best in
the country with plenty of elbow room
and work enough to keep him interest
ed in life.-Outing.

Historic Spelling.

There is a sentiment against simpH-
fed spelling because it tends to destroy
the historical continuity of the English
language, but this claim is answered
by the assertion that the present spell
ing very materially infringes upon for
mer methods. Upon this point a CORE
spondent Of the New York Times says:
We have only to go back a very short
way in order to see the modern upstart
character of what is called historical
spelling. We now write pleasure,
measure and feather" but not very
long ago those words were spelled
'.plesure,~ ':mesure,' "fether." Again.
'.tung7: and "yung," as spelled by spen-
ser5 have more historical aspect than
tongue" and "young." Why write
":girdle" when the old spelling was
4girtlef?" The only answer to this ar
gqrnent and similarAone is that our
inlm&liate ancestors learned how to-
spell better than our remote ancestors,
which Is: only claiming that the makers
ftf the wards left their spelling to. Sue
oeeding. generations, which is absurd.
There fs:abs1hdant proof that our ances-
tors were better spoilers than the sue
ceaadipg generations.-Ohio State Jour-

bills considered and reported
from the committee on the ter
ritories, and how the Alaska
fund'' is appropriated by the pro-
visions of the act of March 3,
1913, 81 Stat. L. 728, to the fol-
lowing uses: rs per cent to the
support of public schools, 10 per
cent to the relief Of the aged and
INDECENT, and o5 per cent to the
building and repair of public
roads The greater part of this
fund is derived from the payment
oil license fees by those non-resi-
dent corporations engaged in the
taking and carrying away of Al
aska's fisheries, and section Is OF
II. R. o528 would thus repeal the
laws through which we get the
greater portion of Alaska school,
road and INDECENT funds.
These matters have heretofore
been consid fed in bills before
the committee OH the territories,
and clearly the provisions of II.
K. oS28 belong within the juris-
diction Of that committee, since
it utterly wrecks and destroys
legislation carefully planned and
enacted into law by it for the
government of Alaska.
1t is apparent to one at all ia
nliliar with the laws of Alaska
that H. r. o528 is most carelesss-
ly drawn. The defects pointed
out are not all, nor even the most
serious, but they are enough to
show its consideration involves
the most important of the terri
torial legislation of Alaska
hence it ought to be considered
from that point of view.
g II. r. 9528 is territorial
legislation"
Even if it be conceded that Fl.
X. 9528 relates to fisheries in AL
aska it must also be- conceded
that much of it relates also to
territorial legislation which
would necessarily have to be sup
piled by the committee on the
.rritories if H. R. o528 became

Legislation" under the long estab-
lished practice by the house OF
referring all Alaska territory fish
cry bills, with their monastery
elements, to the committee on the
territories, and the consideration,
report, and passage of such bills
IRON that committee?
Herewith attached is a state
ment showing the reference made
OF all Alaska territory fisheries
bills which | can find in the Rec
ord. Notice that one was re-
ferred 20 public lands, one to
ways and means, one to revision
II the laws. fifteen to merchant
marine and fisheries and twenty
six to territories.
While a few bills have from
time to time reached the commit
tee ON merchant marine and fish
cries, that committee has never
given Alaskan fisheries bills any
attention nor even held hearings
thereon. On the contrary the
committee on the territories has
considered and passed tho acts
of congress of June 9, 1896,
(house report No. 1853, 20 Stat.
l. 800 OF June IS, 1906, (house
report No. 2485, "a Stat. L. 263),
and the act of June 26, 1905 ga
Stat. L. 40, house report No

aska fisheries laws for more than
twenty years. The committee or
the territories has also conducted
extensive hearings on those ane
other Alaska fisheries bills.
Now a contant uniform prac-
tlce for more than twenty years
on the part OF the committee on
merchant marine and fisheries
and the committee on territories
ought to be satisfactory evidence

merchant marine and fisheries
has not held hearing about or
considered an Alaska fisheries
bill for more than twenty years
and there is not an act relating
to the fisheries of Alaska on the
statute books which that com.
mittee has reported or passed.

NOTES

The Elmer Gold Mining Com
pany has filed protest against
the application for a patent OF the
Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Com
pany for twenty four mining
claims in the Silver Bow basin.
The protest is based on a conflict
OF number of the claims with
patented mining claims owned by
the Elmer company. The clash
ing of the big mining companies
over the mining claims and water
rights promise fruitful litigation
for the Juneau attorneys.
