New Light Ray Found
Unable to Pierce
Even Gold Leaf

s. BANGOR, Wales, March 3.
New light rays have been dis
covered by G. w. Wynn VIII
liams of the University Of
North Wales. While these rays
can penetrate air for several
inches they are stopped by all
solids, even by gold leaf.
X-rays can penetrate one
half on inch Of lead, and the
recently discovered Milliken rays
can pass through six feet Of
lead. Wynn Williams suggests
that the newest discovery fills
one Of the gaps between x-rays
and Miiliken rays.
He believes they lie between
ultraviolet and x-rays.
They were discovered during
an investigation into the condi-
tons for sparkling between two
electrodes, which shows their
presence by ionizing air, so as
to make it conduct electricity
as do the ultra violet and k
rays. The new rays cause phos-
phorescence in certain mixtures
Of salts.

It was not long after this, though, that the three men reached the end of their journey, as shown by the map, and here, sure enough, they found the spot where the Indians had found the gold fifteen years before.
 Envoldsen says that the gold is there all right, right under the sur face, but gives warning that for any body not knowing that country it would prove nothing less than folly to attempt to tramp into those noun tainS. Next spring he and his part ner and the Mackenzie river Indian guides plan on making another jaunt

 Although the trip this year proved disastrous in many ways and tried the patience and nerve of the men who made the journey with many hard ships and tribulations, the sourdough prospectors wre game and refused to turn back before they reched their goal. In certain parts the country abounds in game, and in relating of the march Envoldsen says that at some places moose and other species of wild game could be seen playing, fighting or swimming in the lakes, sight which was magnificent to watch. Whether the gold is there in quantities or not is a question, but at any rate those who have faith in the gold pockets in the midst of the Rockies have risked their lives in their at tempt to follow the trail of the will derness to the rainbow's end.

ARE WE BETTER OR WORSE?
Steward Gateway.)

After living in the Territory over a decade we fail to see where Alaskans are chronic lawbreakers. If any thing, the laws are more strictly ob- served and there is less crime in Alaska than in the States. To close observer it would appear that Alas kans are "just regular fellers," with the same frailties aad hopes and fears that govern residents of the States. Our vermiform apfao4age is in the same spot, and our aearts are located close to where those of residents of the States are located. the only differ ence being they are somewhat larger and no. so adamantine.
 Taking us per capita, we believe we stack up about as intelligent, as law abiding and as God-fearing as any nation in the world. Our only trouble is that our pool is small and when a rock is thrown into it the ripples are larger. It is impossible to keep ones frailties hid in small town, therefore small fire makes lot of smoke.

We are not footing our own horn in the least in asserting that if all the people in town were as loyal to the town as the average editor of the home newspaper, there would be wonderful difference in many places. The eidotr is always up and doing, never ceasing, even if at times he gets little or no encouragement. He leaves unsaid that which might cast reflection on the town, and empha- sizes the good things.
 He is a booster for peter schools and churches, civic pride and good citizenship. He favors good roads and public improvements of whatever nature that will help to make the old home town a more desirable place in which to live.

 TREMORS AT MAINE
MaChiaS to Be Site for New
 Scientific Bureau

Cambridge, Mass, March ?9 Py-- Tho scismographic and geodetic sta- ton In the extreme section of the country Is to be near Machias. Me, It will be established next summer by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and will specialize in a study of the pu2zling causes of the coastal tilt toward the sea,
 The station will be equipped with the most modern apparatus for studying earth tremors and read iustments of the crust, according 10 an announcement today by President Samuel w. Stratton of the institute.
 It will be located at Camp Tech nology, where field work in civil en. ginoering is carried on during the summer. The rocky terrain and iso- lation of the spot will adapt it for seismic investigations.
 Prof. George L. Hosmer of the civil engineering department, who will have active charge of the field work, expects 10 establish base line from which Eeodetic surveys can be started this year,
 II is known that relatively large changes have taken place in the lati- tude and longitude of certain estab- lished points on tho earth's service. Some of these are caused by system atic variations. while earthquakes cause other changes.
 Other movements. which cannot he attrihutcd to any known cause in- clude the tilting of the land toward the sea.
 These changes have been detected in the lcveling work of the coast and geodctic surveys,
 IL is expected that the seismograph which will later be installed at the station for the measurement of tcarthquake waves will be one recent Ilv developed by Dr, Harry 0. Wood and J. A. Anderson of the Mount Wilson observatory in California. The new instrument differs radically from older ones. 1t has the ndvan- taGe of a short vibration region. which is important in measuring waves of earth shocks, and is highly iaCcuratc.
 A Mendcnhall invariable half-sec- ond pendulum will be used in gray ity studies and the astronomical ob- servatory already established on the site will be part of the station.
 Solution of problems in measure ment of earthquake waves, changes In astronomical and in gcodetic posi- ton. variation in sea level, tilt of land surface and changes in gravity, it was explained. depend upon inter IChange, over q long period. of data gathered hy obscrvatories in various parts of the country.

ID SCALE
 MT. WASHINGTON
Arthur Walden and Dog Sled
 Making Attempt

Pinkham Notch. N. H, March 20 R,--The first attempt ever made to scale Mt. Washington by dog sled is under way today.
 Somewhere up tho snow-drifted. wind whipped sides of New Eng lands highest peak. Arthur Walden. ot Wonalancot, bron2ed veteran of many gruelling snow race. and his team Of Eskimo huskles is toiling toward the summit.
 With them are eight newspaper men and photographers. They start ed at o'clock last night from the Glen House here. The old, carriage roads which leads from this place to crown of the mountain requires eight miles of tortuous. winding as- cent to cover tho 6,29S feet of snow hlanketed mass that is Mt. Washing ton in winter time.
 Through the clear moonlight oi the night they fought against gale that rushed down the sides of the peak, and into the clear brisk day that saw a temperature of less than 10 degrees below zero, The road was badly piled, in many places all trace had been oblterated, and the gong was hard.
 IL was expected here that no at- tempt would be made to go beyond the halfway house today. but that there the party would rest to gather strength for the dash to the top which probably will come late to- night or tomorrow. There was no means of comm unication with the house, however. and old timers here who know the hazards of Mt. Wash ington predicted Walden would base his movements on weather expe- diency.
 Walden Is one of the better known of dog sled racers. He won the orig inal international sled dog rave over g. course from Berlin, four years ago. and has competed in many other contests both before and since.

WALES UNDERGOES
 MINOR OPERATION
Prince Suffers AHliCtion Of Ear
 Following Influenza

London, March % tPt--The Prince Of Wales carly this morning under went what is termed q slight opera ton to relieve him of pain due to an abscess in his ear. superinduccd by an attack of influenza.
 Announcement that the operation had been performed in St. James palace was contained in q bulletin posted there at 2f45 o'clock this morning, signed by four eminent physicians, among them Dr. Arthur Ii, Chcatlo, lecturer on eural surgery al Kings College hospital The bull lotin said.
 H. F. II, the Prince Of Wales had return of the pain in the ear. the condition being sequel to the influ- cnza, It was accordingly decided that a small operation to incise the drum was necessary. This has been done and reliot has followed" It was on account of ear trouble that the apparent to the British l throne was compelled to forego wit messing the grand national stocple- chase at Ainsley Saturday,
 So accustomed is the public 10 re- | gard Wales as the embodiment ot physical health and yigor that this mornings announcement that he was laid np from an operation came as something of shock, although it was accompanied by the assurance that there was nothing serious the m1tter with him.
 The news having been given out at an unusual hour carly this morn ing it was printed in only two or three special editions of morning newspapers Consequently suburban 1 ties arriving in London for work were not aware Of the incident and were startled when they learned the news, The afternoon newspapers had great sale, and everybody was talking about the Prince.
 Public Gets Details, The secrecy which formerly was preserved regarding illness among the royal family has been abandoned of late years and the policy adopted of taking the public into confidence partly with a view to averting eX- aggarated gossip. This plan seem: to have been followed in the prescn case.
 The fact that the announcement Ia n'rln1Iz ty- the morning, aroused curiosity ant people who readily suspect mystery began que ssing whether the Prire't indisposition vaS really more serious than the bulletin of the attending physicians admitted. There seems however, not 10 he any grounds fol suspicion, as assurances were unhesi, tatingly given inquirHrs at the palace that the operation was very slieI one and that Wales was doing nicely.
 It has not vet been stated whAr tho surgeons operated but the hou of the announcement suggests it WI late Sunday night. This has led +' 7hn belief in some quarters that th . pain must have been acuto and call od for prompt treatmcn. to relier the sufferer.
