ALASKA MUSEUM
READY TO OPEN
DR.. Neuman Presents Eskimo
Curios and Relics to His
torical Association

Turning the key in the entrance
toric;u Association, Mrs. Thomas
Riggs informally opened the mus
cum to members of the Association
and a few friends last night. A
formal opening to the public will be
held within a short time.
In an interesting talk, DR.. Daniel
S. Neuman, collector of the Eskimo
curios and relics in the museum pre-
scented a part of the collection to
the Association and loaned it the
rest for exhibition purposes. Dr..
Neuman's address was a description
of THE Implements of the Stone
Age" of the Eskimo.
The opening of the museum to
the general public is being delayed
because of delay in receiving glass
covers for show cases containing ar
ticles placed on exhibition. When
it has been received, the opening
will take place as everything else
is in readiness. Rev. A. p Kashe-
varoff, who has been named curator
of the museum, will be in charge of
the exhibits and viii keep open
house there from l O'Clock to
o'clock weekday afternoons and be-
tween 2 and 4 on Sunday afternoons
The thousands of articles in DR..
Neuman's collection are the result
OF ten years work. They represent
every Eskimo village in Seward
Peninsula and the Arctic. The most
valuable part of the collection are
pieces representing the ancient art
of the Eskimo, some of them 5000
and 10000 years old.
Another collection of Alaska rel
les in Sitka, and one in Washington,
ID. c., will be added to the museum

Transportation Increase
100000, 900 Estimate

WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-By the
Associated Press)-Increased rev.
enues officially estimated at $780,.
100000 annually, will accrue to the
United States Treasury in the adj
vance in railroad transportation
"ates which go into effect August
'26. The added income, officials
said today, would be derived from
increased transportation taxes-paid
by the public-as we'll as through
operation of the income and excise
provisions of the revenue laws.
Transportation taxes for the year
ending June 80 aggregated approx
mately 1921 100000. This was made
up from the per cent tax on freight
harges. amounting to $125,000,0 900.
the s per cent tax on passenger
tickets supplying S1O0,000,000 and the
s per cent tax on Pullman charges
producing s6,50O,0OO.
Increases Calculated
Should the present traffic continue.
all Of these amounts would be in
creased On this basis, revenue of
ficials calculate the additional taxes
will aggregate $3S,550, 900 on freight
and SIS. 100000 on passenger and
$3,500,000 on Pullman charges.
Another source OF revenue would
be from income taxes against rail
road corporations. Railroad execu-
tives expect many carriers to earn
sufficiently large returns under the
new rates to compel payment of in
come taxes for the first time since
pre-war days. 1t is from this source
that the Treasury expects to Obtain
a large portion of the remaining
| $40 100000 of their $1O0,000 ,0G0 es
innate. Officials place the amour
from income taxes conservatively a
| $3O,000,000 a year.
Wage Award Profitable
The wage award of $500, ,0C'
a year also will produce a certain
| return to the government, for i
places most railroad employees unde
| the income tax laws, Amounts lev
| led on most workers will be small!
but it was pointed out, railroad EN-
ployees number more than 100000
From this number, officials believe
the taxes would aggregate prob
ably $10,000,0O6. r a
Officials also are studying the in
direct effect the rate increase vii
have on revenue produced by the ex

UTILIZING
VOLCANIC power
FOR INDUSTRIES
Science Comes to Rescue
When Coal Shortage Fore
es New Departure

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10. - Indus
trial Italy, forced by the enormous
prices for imported coal, is turning
attention toward the utilization OF
the country's latent power of the
volcanic area, according to advices
received by the Italian embassy.
This idea of exploiting. the natura
heat emitted from the soil of the vol
canic regions seemed a dream al
first thought, but already it has
been developed to considerable i'm
portance Successful experiments
have been conducted in the past
and today at Larderello in Tuscany
a heating plant of 10000 horsepower
is operating without interruption and
distributing electric current to Flor
ence. Livorno and GrosettO. Its
capacity, it is planned, will be in
creased
First experiments with volcanic
power were made some years be
fore the war by Prince Ginori Cont
at Larderello, near the salt mines or
Volterra, region extensively GOV
cred with volcanic vents, emitting
powerful jets of hot steam contain
ing boric salts and various gases
used in the extraction of boric acid
Instead of limiting the use of these
steam jets to extracting the salts
contained in the exulations of these
natural vapor-vents, the election of
~
the steam is simulated by boring
holes. In this way it has been pos
sible to obtain jets with pressure
of from 80 to 40 pounds pressure
per square inch and in some in
stances. as high as 70 pounds PEI
square inch, the temperature varying
from $50 to 1875 degrees centigrade
In 1905, Prince Ginori-COnti APP
piled this natural steam to 40
horsepower engine using only a small
section of the Nenella fissure, the
elected steam from which has a
pressure of Is pounds per square
inch Seven years later, another ex
pertinent was successful with 300
horsepower turbine alternator, and
later the Larderello heating plant
was started with three turbine alter
majors of 5000 kilowatts each, these
being fed by boilers at low pressure
by the natural steam, superheated
to 165 degrees centigrade.
The natural steam has been used
thus far only for heating because it
contains substances. among them,
sulphuric acid which corrodes met

THE electric belt is substitute

From the earliest days Of this re-

relied upon to extract shooting pains
from the interior of mans anatomy.
1t was always applied by some faith

her own hands, In order that there
might be plenty Of mustard therein.
and all that a suffering husband had
to do was allow the plaster to sit
down on his stomach and draw the
pain TO the surface. 1t IS an uncanny

IT IS no more trouble to wear an cleo

about the waist Of the patient and one
end Is attached to an electric meter,
which keeps a careful record of the
current consumed and turns 1t into the
head office at the end Of the month.
AS soon as the meter begins to turn
over and discharge kilowatts at the
patient, a warm, restful feeling APP
pears which increases in intensity un-
til the patient glances at the meter.
When an electric belt is properly
applied a sick person can turn over on

Of having his backbone reduced to

mustard plaster, which never knows
when to stop its triumphant progress
and is liable to cremate a sleepy pa
