the scales something like q basket-work
effect. They are united to the body by
backward turned prickles even larger
than those on the sides of the scales.
A row of stout hooked thornlike spines
extend along the base Of the dorsal or
back fin. and also along the stomach fin.
The fsh's color is gray. It's eyes are
very large. seemingly for the purpose Of
seeing well in dark waters. The peculiar
basket-like woven scales indicate their
possibility of withstanding heavy water
pressure, as the manner in which the
scales wind around the body is similar to
the wire-bound heavy naval gun.
Professor Jordan named the fish "Ves-
posus." meaning waspy, from the structure
Of its dry scales, suggesting the material
of wasp's nest.
Still another new species excited the
interest Of f'ichthyologists. Two horns pro-
jected out from its snout and the lower
lip sported a beautiful large barbel or
are two horns thrust backward along the
jaw, not OF the same bony structure as
the front horns, but quite strong and tip
ped at the ends with spines. Its mouth is
toothless. Since this is so 1t must swallow
its food whole or suck nourishment from
the crustaceans on which 1t feeds. The
horns, therefore, furnish its only means
of defence. Ithas been named PeristediCn
Engyceros Gunther
Quite the most beautiful specimen that
Professor Jordan examined was the Loa,
named for the mountain whose eruption
brought 1t to light. It closely resembles
the butterfly fish. well-known to Hawaii
ans as the Kihikihi. Its color was perhaps
yellow In life, with broad, dark edged
crossbands running In a general parallel
direction with white and yellow bands. Its
snout is dusky. On the back fin a single Jet.
black round spot made a striking foil to
the other colors.
Another new specimen was an eel-like
fish with snake-shaped head and sharp
hooked spines like bramble-thorns, three
on each side running along the head.
Other fish were found, each showing some
peculiarities to distinguish them from
species already known.
But the particular feature that all of
them possessed were the extremely large
eye. sometimes bulging. which appeared
to indicate that 1t was developed through
ages OF time to peer through the extra
dark waters Of the rock caves in which
they lived.
Very likely none Of these monsters
would ever have become known to science

H0lU the Great HalUniian
Mau,a Loa, Surprised
Scientists by Present ing
Them With Strange
Creatures Which Had
EZuded Their
.Drag-Nets

THE mysteries of the dark ocean
depths have excited the interest of
science for many years and patient
dredging and dragging Of the ocean floor
has been going on more or less all over
the seas. But 1t is difficult and uncer.
tain work and more creatures escape than
are caught in the drag-nets.
BY an unexpected miracle Of nature the
scientists of Leland Stanford Jr University,
California, have been presented with half
a dozen monsters from the absymal depths
which were entirely unknown to them.
Around the Hawaiian Islands, in the
Pacific Ocean, the scientists have dragged
and dredged, but with little success. The
rivers Of lava which have now and then
for centuries run down the sides Of the
volcanoes have spread far out over the
ocean bottom in rugged, rocky ridges
which made it almost impossible to drag
the fish-traps along.
As If 1t had watched with sympathetic
interest these futile efforts of the patient
scientists the great volcanic mountain,
Mauna Loa, recently took a hand in the
game and delivered to the ichthyologists
several curious deep-sea creatures which
had escaped them in the lava canons.
A stream of volcanic lava that had tun-
neIed below the sea bed during an erup-
ton of Mauna Loa exploded beneath their
rocky habitations, blasting their homes
into fragments and hurting them in boiling
geysers to the surface.
This lava was heated to the enormous
temperature of 1900 degrees Fahrenheit,

KANTISHNA HYDRAULIC WORK
 PROMISES LARGE RETURNS

J. B. BHck, general manager of the Mt. Mckinley Gold Placers, Inc. big hydraulic outfit of the Kantishna district. arrived in Nenana on last Thursdays train from the company's camp at Diamond. The trip to Nenana was made on the Olson launch.
 The manager reports that the company is now working two full crews, with three nozzles, on Cari- bou creek, and the showing made thus far is much better than was anticipated. Although several clean ups will be made this summer, much of the work done will be of a pre- limiuary character, preparatory to the opening up of the ground or a large scale next season.
 The development work being done now, Mir. Blick says, consists partly of the construction of a new ditch and a high line Hume to get high CT water pressure when the work opens up next season. It Is expect ed that there will be twice as many uozzIes in operation next summer as there are at present.
 Manager Blick went to Fairbanks yesterday on a brief business visit.

WAECHTER FISHING OUTFIT
 BACK FROM LOWER YUKON

The Frank Kerns power barge Alice, with the Wacchter Bros. launch Mary in tow, arrived in port last night from the mouth of the Yukon river, where fishing opera tions were conducted. Only king salmon were caught.
 The craft had 32 passengers on board, all of whom had been en- gagged in fishing for the company, Of these, twenty disembarhed at Ruby and the rest of them came on to Nenana. Among those disembark- ing at Nenana were Ned Porter, Os- car Sampson, Ole Selness, E. He'd berg, R. M. Williams, Elmer Fred rickson and John Pahalaka.
 The company's fishermen operated on the Yukon river at it's mouth and about three miles from salt water. Fully a quarter of a million pounds of the finest fish was put up in SOO-pound bayrels, for distribution and sale during the coming winter. All of the fishermen report having had a successful season. The Nenana members of the party were paid off upon ariavl here.

BUSINESS GOOD ON

Seattle, Aug. 1S.-Freight on the Alaska railroad for the first three months of this year was 30 per cent more than for the same period in 1921 according to a supplemental re port received here today by c. E.. Dole, head of the purchasing depart ment. The passenger traffic increas- ea only 3 per cent over that of 1921 the report shows.
 Now that the trains are. running through from Seward to Nenana and connecting across the Panama river by ferry until the big bridge is com pleted there, it is expected that the business will show a still larger in- crease within the next few months.

DETAILS RECEIVED
 TRAFFIC IS INTERRUPTED

According to reports received at railroad headquarters in Nenana re- garding the accident on Saturday at Mile 2776, which resulted in the death of Crane Engineer William Elliot and the injury of Locomotive Engineer Smith and Fireman shee- han, the wreck was the result of the collapse of the trestle at that point, the foundation of which had probably been weakened by recent rains. The wrecking train, which broke through the trestle. he'd been sent out from Anchorage the day previous to assist freight train which had been ditched at Mile 293, and was returning to Anchorage when the acident occurred. The passenger train which left Nenana early Saturday morning, and a gray el train passed over the trestle in safety shortly before the structure gave way under the weight of the heavy wrecking outfit, which con- sisted of a locomotive and wreChing crane. with four fiat cars coupled in between. The trestle is a temporary structure. about mile in length.
 Shortly after the wrecktng train passed on to the trestle, the hundred ton crane broke through the struc- ture and fell to the ground below. Some of the flat cars were pulled off the track and the locomotive was thrown on it's side.
 Engineer Elliott was riding in the cab of the locomotive, on the aremen's side, and when the crash came he was pinned under the big engine, death being instantaneous. Engineer Smith ad Fireman Shee- han were painfully injured.
 Relief was dispatched from An chorage immediately and the in jured men were rushed to the hos pital, where they are now recover ing rapidly.
 Col. F. Mears, who was in Ne lana when the accident occurred. left for the scene immediately upon receipt of the news, accompanied by .F. A. Hansen, engineer maintenance and construction.
 Two piledriver crews composed of 25 men under Foreman Jimmy Me Gill, with one driver, 12O piles and all necessary equipment, left Ne Jana Sunday morning on spec cial train, to repair the damage. Piles were driven from both ends )f the break and by yesterday morn ing 2l bents had been replaced but as a large part of the structure had to be rebuilt 1t was not pos sible to complete the work in time 10 permit the passage of the thru train from the South, and 1t is pro- bable that it will not arrive here before tomorio ow evening. It Is ex- Dected that the repairs will be com pleted by tomorrow noon.
 Definite arrangements have not as yet been made for the departure of fbe sOuthbOund fraiD from NPDaDa but it is announced that waiting passengers will be rushed through 10 the coast in time to connect with the steamer Alameda, which will sail south from Seward on Friday.

WHAT MORE GAN
 4 TELLER D0

Everybody knows Jack Hillard, Collector of Customs at Eagle-all Oldumers do. They know that what Jack says is right, and here's a human interest story from Jack which will not lose anything by telling it just the way Jack did:
 Eagle, July 19, 1922.
 Dear Forepaugh: l hope you have mot been too caustic in your criti- cisms of this boy Prest who risked his life and lost his machine in an attempt to get to Fairbanks so as not to disappoint your people on last Sunday. His engine was giving him trouble as simply evil denced by the fact that he had to make three landings between Daw- son and here. On this account we tried to persuade him to stay with the river to Circle and then strike inland from that point as he would be sure of good landing places in case of trouble and would always be near food supply but this course would have delayed his ar- rival at Fairbanks so he took a chance on flying direct knowing full well that he had a rough unpopu- lated country over which tO travel where landing places were mighty scarce. Half an hour and 75 miles out of here he was forced to land in a uiggarhead swamp towards the head of the Seveuty-Mle river. He came down all right and landed in the midst of a herd of caribou. He killed one and that was all he had for food until meeting the search party on Wednesday morn ing. Shortly after landing a heavy wind storm capsized his machine and she now lays on her back and he says will continue to lay as far as he is concerned as it would be next to impossible to get her out of there. He stayed with the ma chine all day Sunday On Monday he packed some Of the paraDhar- nalia down to the Seventy Mile and started for town trying to follow the air line which he travelled on his way out. This of course kept him of the regular trail but he finally struck into it just when the deputy marshaTs search party were coming along at a point about 45 miles from Eagle. He was pretty tired from lack of sleep and a straight diet of caribou. Had plenty of phantom company the third day imagining that he had all sorts of travelling companions and seeing cabins in every bend of the river. Is right as a rtvet now. Will go back with pack horse and bring in his cameras etc. and then leave for your town so you will have plenty of time to interview him. Say he will tackle it next year but wants a seaplaue next time.
 When he left here last Sunday morning. flying right under his tail were four pigeons and I cursed my self for not thinking of them the night before. Could have let him have a couple and they would have been back here with the news of his landing within a few hours Of his mishap. When Dudney left with the search party I equipped him with one and he brought back the news o K when they met up with Prest. It might be well to remem ber this for future flyers. Any or dinary bird should find his way home for at least 100 miles and nearly every town has a few or them.

Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 14.-Bettl was going to the barber shop. Yes she was going to have her hear bob ed. Why she should want to do thi' ] no one knew; but that was her inten l ton.
 She walked rather briskly down the street-a half-dolIaf in her hand She reached the barber shop and found that she was the sixth one waiting. The others were all men But her courage did not fail her She walked in, took a seat, picked up a paper, and began to read: Woman Bobs Hair-Loscs

 such were the headlines that Betty's eyes fell upon first thing. Oi course she was interested in bobbed hair so she read further
 Privat. S,enographcr Loses Job,
 This was enough. She read nc more. Such a thing as that couIdn't bother her!
 Sae kept on waiting-third in line now. As she waited she began to think Of that newspaper article. Now it was Betty's ambition to become a graduate from high school. That was a year and half away. Would her hair grow out by then? On surely it would be long enough to put up. So she patiently waited her turn.
 Next" called the barber, "What!! You want your hair bobbed? Never! I wouldn't cut any girls hair. You'll have to go somewhere else."
 So betty walked away-Dot 10 an other barber shop--but home.
