 Tex. of Remarks
 Ladies and Gentlemen, My Coun-
 trymen, All
 "I think there must be many Bap- lists in Juneau: at any rate people who would turn out in such great numbers on rainy morning like this to extend a greeting ought to have some measure of return. and I wish I might offer it to you. can only say how grateful we are to have your cordial greeting, how pleased we are, and how heartened we are to come here and find such a fine people so kindly and cordially dis posed. do not know how 1t af- fects you, but during the course of my journey amidst the wonderful scenery of Alaska. certain adjectives have been constantly recurring to me. I think of the words sturdy majestic 'stalwart,' and immovable' as expressing but in poor fashion the marves of this wonderland of ours. If it be true. as l believe 1t to be. that we are largely constituted in harmony with our environment, you and stalwart people. and may say to you that you look the part. I am proud of you as citizens of the United States of America.
 Good to be Here
 "It is very good to come here and to be able to know Alaska better. Some of us have had mis- erable. petty ideas about Alaska. Some of us had the notion that it was in the frozen and locked-up North: but we are having a most delightful awakening. The purpose of our visit is' to know you better and. if possiblee. to have you know your government better and 10 come into closer relationships, so that we may jointly cooperate in making your wonderland greater part of an even greater republic.

EASY WAY TO CRACK NUTS
Scientists Recommend Use of Liquid
Air as Best Means of Getting
at Detachable Kernel.

LIQUID air for cracking nuts is the
latest application of science. Science
and Invention relates that experts at
the national bureau of standards In
Washington were appealed to for
method Of breaking the shells Of
chicha nuts without damaging the
kernels. They found that 1t took
weight of nearly ron to crack the
shells, and that after that effort the
meat of the nut was broken In many
small pieces.
Then they applied liquid air to the
problem. They did not freeze solid
piece Of rubber and use it as ham,
mer as Is done In the classic stunt or
physics, but they simply immersed the
nuts In liquid air for 80 seconds and
cracked them easily without damage
to the kernels. Now the physicists
are trying to find out whether this
method can be applied commercially
on a large scale.
Chicha nuts are grown In South
America. Their dense, strong shells
were used during the war to make
charcoal for gas masks, and the oil
from the kernels Is a valuable food
similar to copra.

VELVET JACKET WAS SYMBOL
Worn by Stevenson, According 70
Writer, as Protest Against the
Tyranny of Fashion.

Thus CALAMITY he appears In my
one of his books and summon up
fantasm of the author-Robert Louis
Stevenson, gentleman adventurer In
life and letters, his brown eyes shin
ing in swarthy face. his lean, long
enduring body adorned with a black
velvet jacket, Henry Van. Dyke writes
in Scribner's.
This garment Is no disguise, but
symbol. 1t Is short, so as not to i'm
pede him with entangling tails. 1t is
unconventional, as q protest against
the tyranny of fashion. But II is of
velvet, mark you, to match certain
niceness of choice and preference of
beauty-yes, and probably touch Of
bravura In all its wearer's vagaries.

able poseur being the fellow who af-
fects never to pose and betrays him
self by his attitude Of scorn.
OF course Stevenson did not always
wear this symbolic garment. In fact
the only time met him in the flesh
his clothes had discouraging resem-
blance to those of the rest of us at
the Authors club in New York. And
few months ago, when l traced his
footprints on the sands of time" at
Waikiki beach, near Honolulu, the
picture drawn for me by those who
knew him when he passed that way,
was that of lank, barefooted, bright
eyed, sun-browned man who daun-
dered along the shore in swhite-duck
trousers and shirt wide open at the
neck. But the velvet jacket was In
his wardrobe, you may be sure, ready
for fitting weather and occasion.

VICTIM OF OWN HANDIW0RK
How Maker of Boston Stocks Came to
Be First to Undergo the
Punishment.

When Boston was a little Puritan
village, the favorite mode of punish
ment for small misdemeanors was to
place the culprit in the stocks. BY
curious chance the first person to be
so punished after the stocks were con-
structed was the carpenter who made
them. The record relates that ed
ward Palmer. for his extortion, TAX
ing l pound, IL shillings, pence for
the plank and woodwork of Boston
stocks, Is fined pounds and censured
to be set an hour in the stocks"
They dealt in strange punitive meas
ures in those days. 1t was the prac-
tice In the case of persons guilty of
"exhorbitancy of the tongue in rayling
and scolding," either to gag the Of
fender or set him-more frequently
her-in a ducking- stool to be dipped
three times In some convenient pond
Another measure was to place the
guilty party's tongue In a cleft stick
and in this manner to stand him up to
the ridicule Of the public.

Astronomical methods have been
successfully applied to the solution of
a mooted question as to the height of
night flights of migrating birds. Two
telescopes were placed at measured
distances apart (from ten to twenty
one feet), on an east and west line,
and with them two observers stimuli
taneously watched the moon The
track of birds flying across the face Of
the moon were noted by each observer
Independently on lunar chart. ready
at his side. The tracks, being pro-
jected from separate points Of observa-
ton, of course, were not Identical In
position and their distance apart fur
nished the basis for a calculation of
the "parallax" of the flying birds. Two
sets Of observations in one case were
made, in May and October. The de-
Quoted heights above the ground
varied from 1,400 to $500 feet. The
last, however was an extreme case

How "oophsrs" Are cIassod.

The name gopher" which is ap-
piled to quite variety Of creatures In
various sections Of the American con-
tinent, is corruption Of the French
"gaufre," naming a honeycomb. II
was applied by the early French set
tiers to a number of burrowing AMI
mails from their habit Of honeycomb-
Ing the earth.
In Canada and Illinois the name Is
today applied to the gray burrowine
squirrel and In Wisconsin to the gray
striped squirrel which, in this section
Is called a chipmunk. In Missouri y
gopher ls brown pouched rat. In
Georgia he Is snake, and In Florids
he Is turtle. Minnesota Is called the
Gopher state from the fact that TIT
striped squirrel was formerly founC
there In great numbers.

American silks.

There are some interesting phases
Of the official statistics with reference
to the manufacture of silk goods In
the United States, particularly those
that have to do with the early history
of that industry.
1t appears that the making of SILK
goods In our country has grown rap
idly since the year 1860. At that time
only Is per cent of the silk used In
the United States was homemade. In
1870 the percentage of home manu-
featured silk had doubled; In 1880
1t had become more than so per cent !,
In 1890, 20 per cent, while at present
1t is estimated to be in excess of IS
per cent.

HOW
FAMOUS COLORED CHECKS
CAME TO POPULAR FAVOR.

r A4lO " - A>OA<OAkAlA SAAA<>@AN<S
CAME TO POPULAR FAVOR.
Sir Walter Scott's black-and-
white tweed trousers figured In
paper dealing with the de-
signing and coloring of Scotch
tweeds read at textile con-
gress held at Hawick some time
ago. The famous author was
one of the earliest wearers of
tweed, and the first pieces were
made In the black-and-white de-
sign.
Colored checks were intro
duced by accident. A manufac-
turer had a number of pieces
and the white was so impure
and dirty-looking that they could
not be sold. Then someone sug-
gested that If the pieces were
dyed brown the defect would be
covered. The suggestion was
acted upon and new check of
black and brown was the result.
The new color was sent to
London and sold rapidly. 1t was
short step to dye black and
green and black and blue, and
to make broken checks, and the
trade Increased amazingly.
1t was now possible for a lady
to have reversible skirt made
up In such way that she might
appear at one time In a modest
blue and at another In the tar
tan of her clan.
