EXPLOSION CAUSED
GREAT DEATH LIST
ON WRECKED SHIP
PROBABLY 48 ARE LOST
The Steamer Anyox Regardless
of Possible Danger to Her
self Went to the Rescue of
the Sinking Ship. Soon Af-
ter Striking Reef Two Boil
ers on Vessel Exploded.

Eureka, Calf, Aug. 8.-The steam
er Alaska which is stuck on the
rocks at Blounts Reef today with a
probable death list of 4S was split
into by an explosion, of the boilers,
when the boat started to sink the
passengers and members of the crew
were thrown into the sea.
The steamer Anyox today brought
166 survivors of the wreck to Eu-
reka. Seventeen of the dead were
also brought here including three
women and a child. There are 81
other missing Twelve of the dead
have been identified.
The full story of the sinking of the
Alaska did not become known until
the survivors landed here. 1t was
brought out that the ship was pro-
ceeding toward San Francisco in a
fog when she struck a submerged
ledge of the reef. This shock was
almost instantly followed by another
as the vessel struck an outcropping
of the reef above the water.
The Alaska struck the reef shortly
after o'clock. Immediately wireless
distress signals were flashed. Five
miles away the steamer Anyox of
Vancouver B. c., picked them up and
disregarding any danger of striking
the same rocks as the Alaska put on
full speed to the rescue. At $50 the
Anyox received the Alaska's final
message, 1--WE are sinking by the
head"
Before the Anyox could reach the
the Alaska. The boat was partially
filled with sea water and oily scum.
The oil survivors said had been
thrown over them by the explosion
of the boilers which wrecked the
Alaska amidships.

Hard and Soft Pencils.

What makes pencil hard or soft
Graphite which composes the writing
crayon in the pencil, is, as everybody
knows, so soft that it will not scratch
the most highly polished surface of
FURNISHED gold. Yet there are pencils
50 hard that they actually scratch the
paper. A pencil is hard or soft in
proportion to the amount Of clay added
to the graphite. A pencil cannot be
composed wholly of graphite. for the
reason that it would fall into a pow
der. Hence the use Of clay as bind
ing element. Sometimes the clay Is
not evenly distributed through the
mass and then one strikes on edge.
That does not happen so much as was
the case few years ago. Graphite is
pure carbon, like that contained in
the diamond. The clay used is the
finest that can be found and without
grit.

A Fish That Builds a Nest.

In the shallow fresh water streams
that empty into the oceans, the sea
l1mpreys build their nests each
spring, and for the person who is
lucky enough 10 discover these eel-like
fish at work building their uest there
is really interesting sight in store.
The lampreys are not fishes, for they
have no paired fms, and the formation
of their mouths is different from that
of a fish. In appearance they closely
resemble the eel, and, as an eel, might
not be given a second thought. Lam
rrr!S are found Goth in Europe end
America, and the sea lamprey is the
largest member of the family, some
times reaching a length of three feet
Their mouths are cap-shaped, and
have great suction power.
A shallow stream with a pebbly bot
tom is chosen for the nest, two or
three lampreys working together:
After the site of the nest has been
found, the lampreys use their mouths
to suck up and lift the pebbles from
the stream bed, carrying them outside
the space needed for the eggs. II a
stone should be encountered that is
too large to be lifted, the lamprey
charges against it, head on, butting the
stone over and over till il is rolled
away. Lampreys have been known to
move stones as big as half brick.
When the nest is finished it is about
three feet wide, and from four to six
inches deep. The eggs, resembling
pear-shaped grains of sand, and in
visible to the unframed eye, are scat
tered over the nest. They hatch in
about two weeks, after the nest has
been deserted by the elders and the re-
moved pebbles washed into place
again by the action of the water
The young lamprey looks so greatly
different from the mature fish that il
was once thought TO be a different
fish. The young live in the snauo>
stream OF their birth for three or four
years before Obtaining full growth.
and then swim out to the sea, where, at
the end Of another three or four years
tho exact amount of time has never
been certain-they reach maturity, and
return TO some fresh wa.er stream to
make their nest. At sea they obtain
food by fastening themselves to some
fish and scraping the flesh with their
sharp teeth. Ii is possible for lam
prey 10 hold on the bottom of a YES
sci and travel miles.
The work of the building of the
nest is frequently the last labor Of the
lamprey. They are nearly always in
jured in moving the stones that lie in
the spot they wish to use for a nest,
and into these wounds microbes find
their way and cause disease which re-
suits in death. They swim to the bank
MOI far from their nest, and find final
resting place, seemingly sacrificing
their lives for their young.
Lampreys are good to eat, and in
some localities are considered a del
icacy, but their flesh is very rich and
indigestible.
