THREW FLOWERS AND GEMS
London Crowd Benefited by Woman's
Enthusiasm over the Ending
of the Great War.

During the peace rejOicings one
night in London several guests stand
ing at the upper windows of West
End restaurant began to throw roses
down TO the crowds packed in the
street below. A woman in evening
dress, after throwing out numbers OF
roses, took a bracelet from her arm
and tossed it TO the people, following
this with a ring from her finger.
Then, after throwing more roses, she
took the ornaments from her hair
and threw these also into the strug-
Cling mass of people below.
An elderly man at an adjoining win
dow threw out several spoons and
forks, and then, finding nothing else at
hand, threw an apple which was deft-
ly caught and promptly returned,
striking the window close by, but, for
tunately, without breaking the glass.
The women then began to throw
out treasury notes, wadding item into
small balls and tlinging .Lem one by
one &c the excited c,owd. After get
tins I'd of seven or eight notes. she
expressively spread out her hands to
indicate that she had nothing. more,
and was loudly cheered.

BROUGHT VENDER TO TIME
What Very Important Person
Her Daddy Was.

The admiration of four-year-old
been the cause of much comment in
the family circle. Mary Elizabeth was
simply filled with alteration, which
seems entirely old-fashioned.
So when the circus came to town
Dad the Magnificent said there could
be box party, and added to the
thrill by volunteering to escort his
daughter and her little playmates to
see the wonders of the greatest show.
During the very first part some bright
eye CHANGED to discover balloon ven
der. Immediately there was a unani-
nous vote that balloons were next in
line, and Mary Elizabeth was dis
patched hastily to bring the vender.
dad, of course, keeping an eye on her
retreating figure.
When she returned with the man
and the whole crowd had been pre-
sented with the bright-colored bal
looms dad asked her how she had
made out on the journey.
SWELL" she informed him primly,
"the man started to be very rude,
told him you wanted him to bling
those balloons up to our seats, and
he said he was busy and couldn't be
bothered. Then / told him that he
better come at once, cause he didn't
know what an important person my
dad is."-New York Sun.

Salt in the Ocean,

The best-supported modern theory
Is that the ocean has been salt from
the very beginning Of time. The old
idea has been that the salt in the sea
was not there originally, but was
brought to it, little by little, through
out the ages, by rivers which washed
1t out of the land. In the process Of
evaporation the moisture was drawn
up, leaving the salt behind and thus
gradually concentrating it in the
ocean. However, the old idea is dis
credited by the fact that there is
great similarity between the salts
found in the ocean and those present
In the gaseous matter elected from the
interior of the earth during a volcanic
eruption, and the great difference be-
tween the salt of ocean water and that
of inland salt lakes formed by the
evaporation Of river water.

Decency and Bedtime,

"All decent people should be In bed
by one." Such is the dictum of an
eminent uplifter. 1t is calculated to
startle even world familiar with the
intellectual divagations of uplifters.
The quality of decency has often
been debated. 1t does not appear that
universal satisfactory definition has
yet been reached. But a time limit
on decency is something new.
By what magic has one O'Clock in
the morning become the witching hour
that divides the sheep from the goats?
Many respectable citizens are not abed
at that hour. Is their responsibility
but cloak for indecency?
1t is hard to believe that a virtue
can be so accidental. None will deny
that one o'clock is very good hour to
be abed.
1t is quite late enough for those who
have to be downtown in the morning.
Still, it is easy to imagine sufficient
reasons, not discreditable, either, for
being up even later.-New York Tri-
bune.

OIL
 FIELD STEADY
 PRODUCER NOW

Progress in the development of Alaska's oil industry is outlined by E. c. Brown, connected with eastern interests, who has just returned from a six months sojourn in the Katalla oil fields.
 The Chilkat Oil Company is at pres ent time the sole active operator in the district, producing from ten wells on 160 acres of patented land, the only patented oil claim in the terri tory.
 The first oil well on this claim was drilled in 1902 and is still steady pro- ducer. In all IS wells have been drilled. Five have been abandoned and three small producers are to be cleaned oue and put on the pump dur ing the coming spring.
 Producing wells are all shallow, averaging about 900 feet, A test well was never entered, a cave-in caus- ing it's abandonment at a time when showing of oil and gas existed. A | feature of the fields is the fact that the oil has invariably been found in shale, oil sand never having been en, countered.
 Ten miles northwest of the Chil- kat property we'll being drilled by the Alaska Oil Company, is down 1,050 feet, with showing of oil and considerable water. A few other wells were drilled prior to the withdrawal of these lands from entry, but these operations were strictly wildcat" and for the most part eventually aban- doned.
 Four f60-adre claims constituting the Rapid City oil claim, located about three miles from the Chilkat property, possesses the same ge0i0gi. cal formation and present as good an appearance as the fields affords, the surface showing being very promising. The stalking of this group, which was a part of the Old English Company's holdings, was made possible by the leasing bill, passed last February
 Total daily production of the Chil- kat property is 40 barrels. The crude oil is of the highest grade paraffine base, testing A degrees Baume. -Se attle Alaska Dispatch.

 tFoon says he arrived east just about the time business conditions went to smash, and there was abso, lutely no chance to pry a penny loose for Alaska. He talked and talked but could not arouse interest.
 He has lately returned from Mayo Brothers institute, where he had his eyes examined. His eyesight had been failing for some time.
