IS FOUND IN
 A LAKE

A hand carved lamp, of the pre- historic age of Alaska, was brought to Seward this morning by an old time proSpector, w. F.. Johnson, and eXhib- ited at Borgen's Grocery, where the relic of years ago excited unusual at tention.
 The antique was found by Johnson in Is feet of water in lake off Two Arm Bay, about 45 miles SouthweSc of Seward. Johnson'waS unable to get his boat into the lake so built two log raft. While policing along the lake he looked down through the clear wat CT and sighted the stone carved lamp For two days Johnson attempted t3 raise the antique, which weighs about 25 pounds and is Is inches long ana l6 inches across, and from two 70 five inches deep, center and sides.
 The lamp is unique in another way from first inspection, inasmuch as an image, presumably of an Indian is carved out from near the top of the oil basin part of, the lamp. The head is perfectly carved, eyes, cheeks, nose and chin being well formed and pro nounced. Around the sides of the lamp and across the bottom are carvings very similar to those of Egyptian days, proving that the antique is T find from the first age, the stone age, and also that this part of the contin- ent was inhabited before the glacier formation took place. The find is such that will arouse the interest of Scient- ists, especially cuch organizations IS the Smithonian Institute.
 Prospcctor Johnson, who has been on his trip since last May, discovered high grade of gold quartz property, having brought samples here with him, and he expects to form com pany from among AlaSkans to devel- opc the property.

ADMIRAL ROMAN
 HAD SOBRIQUET OF ROUGH HOUSE

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 16- When Admiral Hugh Rodman first came to the Pacific Coast years ago as q jun for officer soon after his graduation from Annapolis he acquired the Sohr- ouet "Rough House" from men and ot' ficerS of the navy.
 Returning now at the head of half the American navy he brings decor ation from the king of England which in that country, would cause him to be addressed "Sir Hugh" as a kniFht commander of the order of St. Mi chael and St George.
 Admiral Rodman throughout hi; naval career has been noted as dis ciplinarian. "He got things done" in the words Of the navy. Direct methods of getting things done earned the title "Rough House" bestowed in affection by his men and brother officers when he was young. Years later the Samr qualities brought him distinction from the British ruler when Rodman wa commander of the sixth battle squad ron of the Grand fleet during the wa with Germany.
 The order of knight conferred O. Admiral Rodman was similar to the distinction given Admiral Willina Sims by the British king at the same time, but neither officer could accept because American regulations did not permit members of the military or naval establishments accepting decor, ations from foreign nations. Later acceptances were allowed.
 Among naval men Rodman IS note as q "mixer" when off duty, but o0 duty he is credited with allowing nothing to interfere with the pcrfor. nance of the task before him. He Is without affection and is declared to dislike being called "Sir Hugh as un' American and to prefer the compli- ment expressed in "Rough House al though to men under him that IS the usual manner together with "the o'' Man" in which his personality IS re ferred to, according to those who have served under him.
