The Reuss Henrys.

For TOO years evesy prince of the house of Reuss has been christened Henry. with distinguishing numeral, but the task of identifying them is ren- tered dolbly difficult owing to the ex- istencc of two branches. each of which has :t different system of numeration. The elder line begins the numbering. anew after each batch of 100 Henrys. whereas the younger line goes by the centuries. numbering it's princes as they are born from I. upward through each complete hundred years. The territo, ries of the two branches comprise lit tie more than 400 square mics. divided into Reuss- -SchleE-Gera and Reuss' GreiZ.

Artificial Indigo. :.

Artificial indigo owes much of its commercial success to an accident. AL though synthetic indigo was first pro- duced in 1870. it did not become q se- rious rival to the natural article un, til thermometer was accidentally broken and the contents of the bulb ran into the heated mixture of naph- thalene that was all too slowly being converted into phthalic acid. the basis of artificial indigo. It was then ob- served that the conversion became much more rapid, and from that day the use of mercury has played big part in making artificial indigo com mcrcial success. The accident occur red after years of patient research. and it is now the boast of chemists that they are able to produce on q commercial basis d compound exactly the same" as natural indigo.-London Standard.

Frederick the Greats Joke.

Among the embellishments which Berlin owes to Frederick the Great the new palace" is the most conspicuous This magnificent building was erected, 1t is said. to show Frederick's enemies that his many wars had not exhausted his eXchequer. And further to show his contempt for the countries which had sought to crush him at the top of the cupoia he placed group of three women dancing together. the figuring representing Catherine the Great. Ma ria Theresa and Mime. de Pompadour. The wrath of the two expresses was unbounGed at finding themselves de picted in such an attitude and such company, so Frederick was able to con graduate himself on thoroughly sue cessful joke.

SAILING VESSEL
 TO TRADE NORTH

Called into the northern route by the great cargo movement that has set in from Seattle to Alaska, the two-mast schooner Halcyon, once the private yacht of John D. Spreckles, the San Francisco millionaire, and later notorious all over the Pacific as a smuggler. has sailed for Anchor age. Cook Inlet. with 150 tons of cargo says the Seattle Times of April IA She was equipped recently with 160 horsepower Dock engine cap able of developing a speed of seven miles an hour, so that she will not have to rely on her sails altogether. : The Halycon is the first sailing vessel to enter the Southwestern AL aska trade out of Seattle since the advent of the steamships in that route. She is now owned by Nor wegian residents of Seattle. but has been chartered by J. P. Rudd, we'll known shipping man. Her cargo consists principally of wallpaper and plaster for houses to be built in Anchorage.
 Built especially for Spreckles, the TIalycon passed her first years as, ia yacht in San Francisco Bay and adjacent waters. After Spreckles sold her. she changed ownership number Of times and then fell into the hands Of an opium smuggling ring. carry ing the forbidden product from China to the Hawaiian Islands.

Wickedest Spot in America

Many visitors to the recent expOsi- tions to California who stopped in San Diego. also took look at Tia Luana, Mexico, litte group of one story shacks, canvas walled and scen- cry fronted. that lay spraddled out in the broiling hot sun just far enough over the line to escape the legal re- strictions of California and the Unit ed States government. Tia Juana probably was-and is-the wicked est spot on the American continent, a sort of a last stand of the "gun- men," sure-thing gamblers, "honk- a-tonk" keepers and just plain des- peradoes, who have been run out of all other sections of the West. Opium smuggling, gun-running, conducting saloons with "win-proof" gambling houses attached, hippodrome bull fights, in which the tourist was separ- ated from $3 for the privilege of sec ing fat bull bled to death, were some of the manifested activities of the place. The only person supposed to have legitimate place of business in the town was a Chinaman, who conducted laundry, and he was re stored to the esteem of his fellow citizens when it was discovered that the laundry was merely mask for an opium joint.

NEW MOTOR BRIGHTER
 FOR KUSKOKWIM TRADE

There was recently launched in Se- attle at the yards of Johnson Bros. &, Blanchard, one of the largest wooden vessels built on Puget Sound for more than ten years. While other vessels are now under way that will exceed her size, the Kuskokwim river, as she will be called, is nevertheless, one of the most interesting vessels ever built on the coast, and especially so as she will be powered with internal com- bustion heavy oil motors of the semi Diesel type.
 The Kuskokwim will operate be- tween Seattle and points on the Kus- kokwim river in Alaska, running as far up the stream at Bethel, which is 14O miles up above Cape Newenhan. It will be used entirely as freighter in carrying in supplies and bringing out the products of this newly devel- oped section of the Northland where 50 far mining and fur hunting are the two principal industries. The new freighter will carry on her first trip this spring the first dredging outfit ever taken into that section of the country, and if that proves success, some big development is looked for in this kind of mining operation.
 The design of the Kuskokwim river freighter is that of the steam schoon. CT type. Her length is 150 feet and her beam 35 feet. She has her power plant aft, cargo hold amidships and a raised fo'c'sle forward. She is a twin screw vessel, the power being furnished by two Meitz & Diesel type, developing 150 horsepower each. The engines have three cylinders 14x1S inches and are air starting and di- rectly reversible, and it is estimated that the fuel and lubricating oil ex- pense of the boat will only be about $20 per day. The boat has dead weight capacity of 700 tons.
