Tho Old. old scorpion.

Scorpions are relics of prehistoric
times. They have been in existence
since the middle silurian era, and
through all the changes in environment
in the millions of years which have
elapsed they ave remained practically
the same in structural character, in
habit. There is little if any evidence
that these animals in the past days of
their history have ever gained a liveli-
hood by means other than those en-
ployed at the present day.-LOndon

Olive Oil Can Prevent Foo at Sea.

Oil, though long known to be effec-
tive in calminga sea, has only recent
ly been proved of value in preventing
fog, says the Popular Science Monthly.
Air is prevented from coming in direct
contact with water which is warmer
than the air. Thus condensation of
water vapor is hindered.
1t has been found that olive oil when
spread out over calm sea will begin
Immediately to lift the fog. Grass is
lands entirely obscured by the fog
bank at only a few yards have been
discerned as far away as a mile, in
line with the clearing made by the oil.
Wind, of course, tends to cOunteract
the effect of the oil, except in the di-
.rection in which it is blowing.

Our First Coins.

The first coins really deserving the
name of United States coinage were
struck off as pattern pieces" by Ben
jamin Dudley at the tnstigation Of
Robert Morris and were laid before
congress in 1888 as specimens of what
the coinage should be. They were a
''mark" and "quint" and are thus de-
scribed: The mark" an eye,
the center of a glory, thirteen points
cross equidistant a circle of as many
stars. The "quint" is similar in de-
sign, the value on reverse being noted.

Birds That Carry Their Young.

The woodcock, it is said, has been
known to carry away her young when
threatened with danger. She places
them on her spread feet, pressing them
between the toes and the breast. N
naturalist says many woodcocks also
carry their young down to marshy
feeding grounds in the evening, re-
turning before dawn. In fact, they
have no means of feeding their young
except by carrying them to their food,
for they cannot convey their food to

His Other Cooper.

A dog was in the habit of going daily
to a bakers shop. His master would
give him penny, which he would drop
out of his mouth on to the counter, re-
cetving in exchange penny bun.
One day his master said to the baker:
IT should like to know how much my
dog really does know. Try him with a
halfpenny bun tomorrow"
When the next day the dog dropped
his penny and only a halfpenny bun
was given to him he shifted at it, turn
ed it over and over with his paw, then
in a dignifed manner walked out Of the
shop, leaving the bun.
In ten minutes he returned, accom-
panied by a policeman.-LondOn Tit

D. Lucci. who made trip to Dime creek to inspect that camp has re- turned to Nome. What Dime is suffering from now is lack of trans portation. There are eighty tons piled up now awaiting transfer to the camp and all kinds of money to be had for hauling, but only a couple of teams to do the work. Lucci figures that a man with ten head of horses could make a stake there in a short while. The roads or what are supposed to be roads are ruts along the tundra where one sinks several feet in muck.

 H. Ingalls,, the man complained about for hiring men in Seattle to work in this section called in this office and gave a complete account of the whole affair from his side. He met the Thompson boys in ticket office in Seattle. They were coming to Alaska He had the con tract for wrecking and shipping outside the Wild Goose pumping plant and pipe line which his firm had bought from the Wild Goose Co. He had been told by Jafet Ltnde- berg that men were scarce and he advised these men to go to Nome and offered to employ them wreck ing the plant and pipe line. Having acted for the Goose in the installation of the pumping plant and pipe line, he knew that the railroad ran along the line for most of the way and he had figured on making use Of that line in wrecking. On arrival here he found that the bondholders had leased the line to w. J. Rowe and the latter asked $S00O for mov- ing the piping etc. to Nome, which he thought eXorbitant and which he could not afford This necessitated cabling outside and conducting ne gotiations relative to the freiGhting of the pipe to town for shipment and in the meantime the work in which he had been expecting to be by this time well on with has not started nd though unforeseen cir Cuuc IdlteS HV IS lOI dDle IO put 'li' men to work. l!o states that he made no false inducements to get the men up here; that he had acted in d hor& idc way fully believing that he WoGld be able to start work immediately This is the statement which he made in the Worker office. His company has bought the plant and the pipe line and stands ready to wreck it and ship it just as soon as arrangements can be made to freight it to town. The alleged contract merely promised to employ the men who made the complaint on the work when begun.

 Yesterday beginning with the pa rade the celebration of Nome's Fourth of July was pulled off with considerable eclat. A company Of buglers from the fourth with tam bour brigade of volunteers from the local band made military concord before the soldiers from Fort Davis. Autos gaily decorated, floats from the Coast Guard Station, the Alaska Mines Corporation. the Pioneer Min ing Co. and other concerns also adorned the parade. The process sion was led by Marshal Jordan, adorned with the Marshal's sash of yellow. Then came the body guard on prancing chargers the riders sashed with red, white and blue. Some of them rode like cowboys and some of them didn't. but all went well considering the uncer- tainties of riding amid the noise of fire crackers and other sounds like ly to start war steeds prancing. The floats were elegant and the sight of the kids in their gala holiday suits was the most picturesque seen in long time. Young ladies represent ing the Allies adorned one while Red Cross devotees in all the purity of vestal whiteness adorned an other and the pity of it was that there were not more on the streets to see and admire In the after noon the sports at Barrack Square attracted quite a crowd of white and native. The town was nicely decorated, some of the decorations being works of historic art, notably Crowley's at Barrack Square where war time decoration was designed with considerable skill. Another feature of parade which must not | pass ullmeltloIeu ""9 'iO "4i" storm and sunshine that came to- gether for the day. The wind had successfully dissipated the hopes of 1 the town mosquitoes that had tigur- ed on doing roaring business on account of the new arrivals from near and far. It played old Harry with the bunting for a time however and even made some the fair ones uneasy for their hobby headpieces that only recently arrived from the great outside.
