WHAT IS ELECTRICITY?

It is 8 curious fact that although evi dence of electricity in a primitive way was observed as long ago as the sixth century, B. C., and its manifest atlon has become one of the greatest known factors in our modern civilization no one knows just what 1t IS
 At different times it has been thought to be form of matter, a thin, welghtless fluid, kind of force, variety of motion and disturbance in the ether-Whlch IS supposed to fill all space, including pores in most solid metals. Electricity IS not some thing created by man. He has simply dis covered ways of turning its manifest ations to practical account
 From the time that Thales observed, cen turles before the Christian era, that amber, after being rubbed by silk had the prop erty of attracting light bodies like bits of paper discoveries of electric phenomena were made from time to time, but they were detached from realization of the great pos abilities brought to light in recent years
 Electricity becomes evident when rendered active by some molecular disturbance, such as friction rupture or chemical action. Sci entists regard 1t today as neither energy nor matter
 It has been discovered that electricity is self-existent property by which we are everywhere surrounded, and human as well as inanimate bodies can be charged with it. From this we can understand that many more remarkable discoveries of its applca- ton will be made-ROcky Mountain News

"Wickedest City" Cleansed by War

Port Said, Egypt, which at the time the war broke out held the reputation, as indeed it had held it from time immemorlal, ot be- ing the wickedest city on the globe, IS now model city. Into this port the tiotsam and jetsam of the underworld drlfted from all parts of the universe. Here every type of vice imaginable was represented. But to- day, after thirty months of military rule, the "sinkhole of the East" IS wellnlgh model city. the iron hand of the army hay, .ng cleaned it up as no other power could have done. That street of international notoriety, Rue Babel, so named because of the many languages spoken by its inhablt- ants. has ceased to thrive as the leader ln the worlds iniquity. Flogging is one of the most effective punishments used to meet the situation in Port Said, and it Is no nursery chastisement that is meted out by the military authorities.

Who Discovered Nome Gold?

A correspondent who wishes to be known only by the initials c. G. denies that Jafet Lindeberg and Erik Llndblom were the first discoverers of gold at Nome, says the Ju- neau Dispatch He saw the story some time ago in newspaper-the story ot a fight which occurred in San Francisco over an alleged bill due by Mrs Lindblom. In this story Lindblom was given the credit for discovering Nome, and "C. G." makes the following reply: Reading your artl- cles referring to Lindeberg and Lindblom as the dscoverers of the Nome gold can in form you that neither Lndeberg nor Lind blom was the first discoverer of Nome'S gold, and that neither of them had ever prospected for mineral in Alaska previous to the Nome camp being organized by Gabe Price. who took out the first SlO,OO0 from No. 8 Anvil creek in 1899 and made rock CTS for Lindeberg Lindlbom and others in 1898 and showed them how to use them. They rocked out $l 800 from September b to the freeze-up. The Mayor Wood com pany of Seattle was formed seven years previously to Nome being organized by the writer of this article, who IS the first white man to find gold at Nome. but came out at the wrong end of the horn. The writer was the instigator of Holtberg and Blake, the finders of gold on Anvil creek in 1898; that is not to say these men were the first to find gold at Nome for the writer of this took party of seventeen pros pectors in June, 1898, and obtained good prospects Anyone who wishes to know the true and long history of the camp can inquire of C.

The Fairbanks NewsMiner published a splendid special edition in honor of the fiji tieth anniversary of the purchase of Alaska, and among the greetings received from prominent people on that occasion was one from Rex Beach, which was as follows: "A word of greeting for the semi centennial ob- servance of Alaska's purchase is Ike g letter of congratuation to a woman on her 50th birthday-ln that 1t may grauiy TO one so much as the writer.

Rampant Is a Dry Town

Rampant is now dry town, or such in effect was the meaning of the words ad- dressed to the court yesterday morning at its opening session by Attorney John A. Clark, says the Fairbanks Citizen of April ?. Mir. Clark stated that he was in receipt of wire from Julius Rahmsdorf of Rampant which stated that Mr. Rahmsdorf closed his saloon there on March 28. It was Rahms- doris license which was held up by the court at the opening of the term for the reason that there were petitions both for and against its being granted. At that time it was decided that an enumerator should be appointed to ste how the majority of the citizens of Rampant felt about the further licensing of a saloon there. MT Clark stated, in telling the court of the wire, that Rahmsdorf had not been able to secure the necessary signatures, on account of the fact that a number of the people who had signed the petition before were out in the hills.

koYuker's Estate to Escheat

Several years ago Fritz Bloch, an old timer of the Interior, was found dead on the trail in the Koyukuk, says the Fairbanks News Miner He left no estate here, but had approximately SIS, 5000 in cash in bank
 in San Francisco. The public administrator of the state of California took charge of it and is now trying to turn the funds over to the state, claiming that as there were no heirs it escheats to the state. McGowan & Clark, attorneys for the special admins trator in Alaska, believe that the funds should go to the territory of Alaska, and are now making fight before the courts in California, trying to compel the admins trator there to give the money to the terri toriI treasurer of Alaska. Thomas A. Nc Gowan is taking the matter up with the attorney general at Juneau, and it is more than likely that Mir. Grigsby will take a hand in trying to save these funds for Alaska, where it was made, instead of al- lowing it to go to California.

To Amend Juvenile Court Law

Senator Gaustad has introduced a bill in the territorial legislature which proposes an amendment to Section ?, Chapter 32, of the Alaska Session Laws for the year 1913, rela- tive to the establishment of juvenile courts and providing for the care of dependent chil- dren. etc The law now provides that ju-
 chile judges shall have power to commit to reform school, orphan asylum or other public or charitable institution "any white child under 16 years" Senator Gaustad's bill seeks to amend by eliminating the words "white' and sixteen" thus leaving the statute to read that "any child under 17 years of age, for an indeterminate period not exceeding the time such child shall have arrived at the age of 2l years" may be committed

Patents Farthest North Claim

Uncle Sam has granted patent on the farthest north coal mine on the North American continent, according to the Ju- neau Empire, which says that the official notice of the grant of the patent was re- ceived there on March l6. The mine is on the shore of the Arctic ocean, at a point north of Point Hope called Corwln Bluff. It is l60 miles north of the Arctic circle, and IS one of the earliest developed coal deposits in Alaska. It was first utilized in lS49, and later, when the whalers found profitable trips along the north coast of the territory, they always stopped there for coal The mine IS accessible from the shore because the coal vein outcrops on the side of the bluff The coal was mined exten- sively during the Nome stampede in 1899 and 1900 and taken to Nome on barges. The United States revenue cutters Corwin and Thetis often coaled there. The patent was issued on the E. L. West coal claim to Charles Mcintosh, the present owner of the :nlne
