WILL URGE HEEDED MINING
LEGISLATION FOR ALASKA
James L. Steele of L&ndJock was
a returning passenger on the Bertha
yesterday from Uoldfleld, where he at
tended the American .Mining Congress
as a delegate from Alaska. In an in
terview with an Alaskan representa
tive ho was most enthusiastic over
the work which was accomplished by
the Mining Congress and the recom
mendations made in reference to leg!
latlon made for Alaska, to- wit: Thai
instead of expending $100 per year
as assessment work on each placer
and oil claim the money be paid into
a fund to be expended by the secre
tary of war for the building of roads
lu Alaska; that every ten of coal ex
ploited from Alaska contribute a tax
of say; five cents for the construc
tion of trails; that a bureau of mines
| be established by the government In
order that remedial legislation needed
by Alaska may receive proper recognl
tlon.
Mr. Steele Is chairman of the com
mittee on the revision of the mining
laws of Alaska, and associated with
him are H. R. Harriman of the Llppy
Davis Co., and Falcon Joslln of Fair
banks. He will also appoint a mem
ber from Southeastern Alaska and on
from Nome.
It is expected that the recommend
ations of the American Mining Cong
ress will carry considerable weight at
Washington, as It Is a representative
body. Mr. Steele and other members
of the committee will spend the win
ter at the national capital in the In
terests of much needed legislation. ?

KAISER BILL
CENSORS PLAI
BERLIN. Germany ? The production
of Ernst Von Wildenbruch's posthu
mous plav, "Dor Deutsche Koenig,"'
which met with the greatest success
upon the first performance at the
Royal Theater last night, was care
fully superintended by Emperor Wil
liam, who had a deep admiration for
the poet and dramatist.
During the dress rehearsal on Mon
day the Emperor discustted various
points of the play with the author's
widow. He suggested, among other
things, the elimination of what ap
peared as an objectionable incident,!
and which had no bearing on the de
velopment of the plot. Erau Wllden
bruch consented, but when the Em
peror suggested another modification,
replied that her husband had attached
particular importance to the passage
in question.
"In that case," said his Majesty,
"it shall stand as a matter of course."
PAPER MONEY
OF ALL NATIONS
The only paper money i lint Is accept
ed practically all over the globe is not
"ajoney" at all. but tbe notes of the
Bank of Euglnnd These notes are
simply printed In black Ink on Irish
linen water lined paper, plain white,
with ragged edges. Tbe reason that a
badly soiled or worn Bank of England
note Is rarely seen Is that notes which
In any way find their way back to the
bank are Immediately canceled and
new ones are Issued. The notes of the
Banque de France are made of white
water lined paper printed in black and
white, with numerous mythological and
allegorical pictures. They are In de
nominations of from 25 francs to 1,000
francs.
Bank of England notes are of a
somewhat unhandy slze-5 by 8 Inches.
South American currency resembles
the bills of the United States, except
that cinnamon brown and slate blue
are the prevailing colors Gorman cur
rency Is printed in green and black,
the notes being In denominations of
from 5 to 1.000 marks. The 1.000 mark
bills are printed on silk fiber paper.
It takes nn expert or a native to dis
tinguish a Chinese bill from a laundry
ticket If the bill Is of low denomina
tion or a firecracker label if for a large
amount, the print being In red on
white or yellow on red. with much gilt
and gorgeous devices. Italian notes
are all sizes, shapes and colors. The
smallest bills, 5 and 10 lire, are print
ed on white paper In pink, blue and
carmine inks.
The most striking paper currency In
the world Is the 100 ruble note of Bus
sla, which Is barred from top to bot
tom with all the colors of the rainbow
blended as when a sun ray passes
through a prism. In the center In bold
relief Is a finely executed vignette In
black. The remainder of the engrav
ing on the note is In dark and light
brown Ink.

strands of silk through the paper fiber ;
as a protection against counterfeiting

DARK OF
THE ION
Many people have wondered why tbe
jvirt of tbe moon that receives no sun
light Is ofteu visible to us, the terra
being the "old moon In the young
moon's arms." The dark part Is easily
seen as a copper colored globe repos
ing In the bright crescent. This that
we see Is nothing more or less than
the earth shine on the moon. We ap
pear the same way to the moon when
we are In that phase, and our dark
part Is where the moonshine appears
and tbe bright part of the sunshine.
The reason the copper color appears
Is because light has to traverse the
atmosphere of tbe earth three times?
ouce on coming from the sun to the
earth, once when reflected to the
moon and again on being reflected
back to us. Our atmosphere possesses
the peculiar property of absorbing the
blue rays of this white light and al
lowing only the red and orange to go
through, thus causing tbe appearance
of copper color by the triple absorp
tion.
An odd thing connected with this
phenomenon, though baring nothing
to do with It, Is this: That part of tho
moon which appears dark to us Is the
Rame part of tho earth that appears
light to tbe moon at any specified time,
and that part of the moon which ap
pears bright to us corresponds to the
portion of the earth appearing dark to
the moon.
Of course It Is well known that the
moon gives out no light whatever
Itself, the moonshine being merely the
light of the sun on the moon reflected
to us. The same applies with the
enrth In Its shine on the moon, save
that we do give out glows, no doubt,
around great cltlea at night, on ac
count of the enormous nnmber of
lights. One thing, however. In which ;
moonshine excels the earth shine Is Its
constant character. Where the earth
possesses varying clouds the old moon
never has any at ell.? St LouLs ICe

LINCOLN TAKES
THE 111
Od ono of Mr. LIdcoId's excursions
to Fortress Monroe on the steamer
Ilartford In 1SU3 bis attention was di
rected to a narrow door bound with
Iron, the use of which bo was anxious
to learu.
"What Is this?' ho asked.
"Oh. that Is the sweatbox," was the
reply. "It Is used for refractory and
Insubordinate seamen. A man In there
Is subjected to steam beat and has very
little ventilation. It geoerally brings
blm to terms very quickly."
President Lincoln's curiosity was
aroused. "This," he said to himself,
"Is treatment to which thousands of
American seamen are probably sub
jected every year. Let me try It for
myself and see what It really is."
Taking off his bat, for be was sever
al Inches over six feet In height, he en
tered the lnclosure, which he found to
be little more than three feet In length
or width. He gave orders that at a
signal from himself the door should
be Immediately opened. It was then
closed and the steam turned on.
He had been Inside hardly three min
utes before the signal was given. Pres
ident Lincoln bad 'experienced enough
of what was then regarded as neces
sary punishment for American seamen.
There was very little ventilation, and
the short exposure to the hot and hu
mid air bad almost suffocated him.
Turning to Secretary Welles of the
navy department, the president ordered
that no such lnclosure as the sweatbox
should ever after be allowed on any
vessel flying, the American flag.
It wns not nn lionr nfter this order
tand been glveu before every Hullor on
every ship In Ilumpton Honda had
heard of It The effect wus most re
markable on the older sailors, many
of whom had themselves experienced
the punishment of the sweatbox. Some
of them wept from Joy.
But the good results of this net of
President Lincoln were not confined to
the American uavy. Great Britain,
France, Germany and other European
countries heard that the sweatbox bad
been abolished In America ns Inhuman.
One and all of these nations In turn fell
Into line, and today the sweatbox Is
not to be found 011 any vessel (lying
the flag o fa civilized nation through
out the world.

By Terrible Eczema? Head Became
a Mass of Itching Rash and Sores
?Would Scratch Till Blood Came
?Much Money Wasted in Fruitless
Treatments? Disease Was Soon
CURED AT SLIGHT COST
BY CUTICURA REMEDIES
"Our little girl was two months old
when sho got a rash on her face and
within five days her face and head were
all ono sore. Wo used different reme
dies but it got worso instead of better
and wo thought she would turn blind
and that her ears would fall off. Sho
Buffered terribly, and would scratch
until the blood came. At night wo
had to pin her hands down. This
went on until she was five months old,
then I had her under our family doc
tor's care, but she continued to grow
worse. He said it was eczema. When
she was seven months old I started to
use Cuticura Soap, Cutieura Ointment,
and Cuticura Resolvent, and in threo
weeks ? what a change! I kept using
the Cuticura Remedies for two months
and our baby was a different girl. You
could not see a sign of a sore and sho
was as fair as a nrw-born baby, and all
for the small cost of a dollar and seventy
five cents where wo had spent ten
times the money for doctoring. Sho
is now two years old and has not had a
sign of the'eczema since. Mrs. H. F.

SLEEP KILLED
By an Itching Humor. Another
Cure by Cuticura Remedies.
"I broko out with a humor which
spread almost all over my body. The
itching would get worse on retiring,
so I eouid not sleep. I tried several
remedies but it grew worse until I got
some Cutieura Soap and Cutieura Pills
which began to relievo me at once. By
the time I had used one vial of the Pills,
the humor was entirely gone. I wish
everv sufferer could secure the Cuti
cura Remedies. Travis Bates, Hamburg,
