was sure that the Florence was Prus-
sian raider
Luckily for Captain Triton, he found
on shore Captain Smith of the United
States Marine corps, he said, and he
told him his troubles. The American
officer soon Strengthened out matters
and when the yacht commander paid a
second Gull to the collectors office he
found that he had no charges to pay.
The guards were taken off and the
Florence left as soon as she had taken
aboard fresh water.
From Puerto Plata the Florence ran
for San Juan, p. R., where she found
that the news of Prussian sea raider
in the West Indies had been circulated.
AS soon as he went ashore and saw
the French consul he was asked If he
had seen any signs Of the raider.
II am the raider" Captain Triton
told the consul, and after he had ex'
planned the French official insisted on
taking the officers of the vessel on
shore and treating them to dinner.
Two More Vessels Routed.
Going out of San Juan after night.
fall, the Florence picked up two mer-
chantmen, running with their lights
burning. AS soon as the yacht doomed
up both vessels doused their lights and
took to their heels.
On January 81 the Florence arrived
at Fort de France, Martinique, her
destination. It was dark when she ar
rived off the port, but Captain Triton
decided that as the weather was very
rough he would take chance and go
in. With all lights burning, Cooking

expressed it. the Florence went past

notify those on shore that he was COM
ing in and at once battery Of search
lights was trained on him. Bugles blew
the call to quarters on shore and a
Morse light signaled him to come in
behind the fort. Instead Of that he
continued up into the port, making 16
knots.
He brought up close to two vessels,
which ut once turned searchlights on
him. He turned his own searchlight
on one of them and found that she was
French cruiser. The cruisers guns
swung over until they were trained on
him and few moments later boats
crew of French bluejackets, armed to
the teeth, came tumbling over his side.
The cruiser was the Jeanne dare and
the officer in command of the small
boat was bitterly disappointed when
he found that he was not capturing
Prussian raider.
Taken as Transport.
When dawn came the Florence found
that she was anchored between the
Jeanne dare and the Magdalena Of the
Royal Mail Steam Packet line, in serv-
ice as transport. The Magdalena was
taking no chances, and her stern gun
was aimed at the yacht. It was sew
eral hours before Captain Triton was
able to assure the port authorities that
his vessel was really the Florence,
which they were expecting. They e1-
planned to him that they had never
believed that he would attempt to
make port at night and that he had
narrowly escaped being fired upon by
the shore batteries at Negro Point.
He received severe reprimand, he
said, and was then told to take his yes.

Sure Test Of Diamond.

The fact that real diamonds are
phosphorescent after being treated in
the following manner is said to make
the following test a sure one: First
of all, expose the stone for few min.
utes to the light Of an electric lamp.
Then rub briskly on wood or metal.
Now take it into dark place, when
the diamond will glow brightly. This
does not occur in the case Of false
gem.

Scraping aluminium cooking utensils
must always be done with a wooden
spoon, since aluminium is soft and
scratches easily. Strong alkalis are not
available because they attack and dis
solve the metal. Only mild soaps must
be used. How. then, can that horrid
discoloration be removedf 1t Is very
simply done.
Take a piece of rhubarb, either fresh
or canned, cut it into small pieces and
boil the pieces in the discolOred kettle
until it is clean. The acid OF the rhu-
barb will remove the discoloration
without in any way injuring the metal.
OF course the rhubarb used for the pur-
pose must be thrown away afterward.

THE Alaska Democrat, in a long
editorial, states that the people of AL
aska should can the canneries, and
take control of the business them
selves. Inasmuch as there are few AL
askans with money enough to start
a cannery, and those who have leave
for the States. it would be difficult to
convince our erring brother that the
cannery game is a hard one. Without
outside capital there would be moth
ing of any consequence developed in
Alaska, and such unreasonable kick
ing only makes it the harder for men
in the Territory to get outside money
when needed. In our limited existence
in Alaska we have noticed that the
first thing the man does who wants
to develop a property is to make for
the great Outside. And, il these peo-
pie become antagonistic and refuse to
place their money where 1t seems to
be welcome, what would become of
the territory. The 4 cent case tax is
of more benefit to Alaska than all the
money Alaskans could place in the
business. If there could be some way
to place tax on these fool reformers,
the territory would derive a revenue
exceeding it's widest dreams.

against by the various commercial
clubs of Alaskan coast cities. 1t is too
much like swapping dollars to take
our boats off and replace them with
the boats of a foreign country. Once
the business is turned into Canadian
hands it will be hard to get II back
and Alaska will be forced to take
whatever il given in the way of ser
vice, Canada getting the best of It.
There is too much of this pandering
to Canada In the matter of Alaska
shipping. There is no more reason for
allowing Canadian vessels the privi-
lege of coastwise trade with us than
there is of allowing the United States
to trade with Canadians, and you
have never seen this idea advocated
have you, by either Canadians or
Americans? 1t would be feasible for
American vessels to take over the
Canadian runs and allow the Canad-
ian vessels to go into war service.
With no wish to embarrass the gov
eminent we believe that Americans
should handle American trade, ire
spective of war conditions.

VALDEZ has a brewery second to
none in the territory in quality of its
production. 1t turns out a better beer
than outside breweries, and does an
extensive business in adjacent towns
on the coast, but it could do better
business if Valdezans would eliminate
all competition and drink the home
product. 1t would enable the propri-
etor to do a better business and
would keep the money at home. And

be easily acquired, so why not help
