GREEN LINES IN NETS WORRY
 THEIR MAKER
Frank Barbour Comes from En g la n d to Learn
 About Color Scheme

Why does the Alaska fisherman want a green line woven through the middle of his seine net? Frank Barbour of Bishops Canning, Wits, England, wants to know. He has come here all the way from his home in the British Isles to find out. He makes nets. He sells them in every part of the globe where harvests are reaped from the sea.
 In no other place on earth, ex- cept this region, is there any de- mand for green line in a net. according to MT Barbour. So if Alaska seiners have discovered something new in the way of lur- ing fish into captivity, he is anxious to learn it for he feels sure its in- troduction elsewhere would be good business for him.
 Factory Is In Ireland
 MT. Barbour's chief factory is in Ireland. He has some trouble in stringing green lines in nets destin- ed for service in these waters, but lnasmuch as his policy is to hu- nor his customers he willingly per- forms the task. Still he desires to ascertain the reason for the color scheme.
 MT. Barbour, aged about 60 years. tall and slender, was a passenger on the steamship Princess Louise, which called here last night en- route from Vancouver, B. C., to Skagway. He will disembark from the vessel at Skagway, visit Atlin, B. C., and possibly go to Dawson. He plans to return to Skagway in time to board the Princess Char lotte on her next southbound voy- age.
 Delayed by Fog
 The Princess Louise, due here at o'clock last evening, was three and a half hours late. She en- ,ountered fog off Cape Nudge, south of Seymour Narrows, and the nick weather remained with her lntil she reached this port. She carried 76 passengers, most of them Vancouver Skagway round trip ourists. Six of her passengers were or Juneau-Miss Iva Albaugh, Miss Hedvig Samuelson, John Rust sard, V. H. De Bolt A. S. Dunham md Paul Jackson.
 The vessel left for Skagway at 1:30 o'clock last night. She is lue to return here at 4:30 Friday morning and will depart three tours later for Vancouver

HYDROGEN PREVENTS FIRE
 IN ELECTRIC CONDENSER

SCHENECTADY, N. Y., August 27.-Usually explosive hydrogen is good fire extinguisher in at least one place, a huge electric condenser under construction by the General Electric Company
 This condenser runs in an atmos- phere of hydrogen enclosed in a tight metal case. Without the pres ence of oxygen, hydrogen will not support flame of any kind, and a statement from the company says that not only are fires impossible but that even short circuits cannot occur.
 Because hydrogen does not trans init vigrations well, the novel at- serves as good sound proofing material. Being much lighter than air, 1t reduces wind resistance on the rotating parts by about go per cent.

Mindful of the fate that has be- fallen most wrestlers essaying ring careers, what are the qualifications of this Far Eastern threat?
 "Musashiyaha," we read, has a fine physique, with weight and long arms which would match well with those of Sharkey and Schmeling.
 "Musashiyama is an amiable chap, but he has powerful arms, intelli- gence and courage-the qualities that are supposed to be possessed only by veterans. j. He is the son of a middle-class farmer and de- cided on his present career much against his will as well as that of his. parents. He was urged by the officials of the wrestling association to become sumo player because of his splendid physical power and mental alacrity.
 "Musashiyama is not so big as either Dewagatake or Asashio. His reach is six feet and two inches and he tips the beam at exactly 250 pounds. But he is only 20 years old and is as brainy as he is power ful physically"

Earth shocks produced by the activities of the heavyweight bat uaiions in this country seem to have been felt in faraway Japan.
 have in hand copy of the Japan Times & Mail, of Tokyo which understands that a plan is afoot to have Musashiyama Koku- sgikan wrestler, enter boxing in an attempt for the world heavyweight championship"
 This, it appears, is no passing fancy, for I read further
 MT. Koizumi, minister of con- munications, Mayor Nagata of To- .kyo, MT. Mitsuru Toyama, and MT. .Ryohei Uchida, are reported to have taken keen interest in the plans of sMusashiyama.
 Tt is said that if a Japanese won the championship, Japan would profit by $2O,OO00Oo in year"
 It appears the Japanese have not examined the situation sufficiently Ito discover that the heavyweight lighters and promoters, not the nation or the public, collect the financial returns, with accruing privileges.
 Of course, Musashiyama, should he win the championship, might turn out to be more philanthropic. Even so, $20,000,000 seems a trifle high. It is doubtful, for example, whether Italy has so far paid off any part of the national debt through the activities of Primo Camera, the most profitable of all the 1930 heavyweights.
 The Japanese may have con- fused boxing with foot-racing. It will be recalled that Finland at tracted so much attention and pub licity through the exploits of Paavo Nurmi as runner of world re- nown that the government was able successfully to negotiate a $10000,000 loan in Wall Street.
