THE ATLIN DISTRICT?
(Special Correspondent to the
Dally Alaskan) ? Thoro has been
tuie'o small fires In Atlln during tho
past wook, but with tho prompt aa
slstjipco of neighbors, thoy wero
promptly extinguished without ser
ious damage. Tho first was In the
Krod Wrong cottage. Tho second
wrs tho cabin occupldo by John Gor
man, which was put out by tho uso
o a fire extinguisher, and the
third was Mrs. Shepards cottage,
whore the flames wore subdued by
the application of a few well direct
ed handsful of snow.
The prospects for a busy season
In mining la ovldoucod by tho num
ber of people who are In Atlln and,
Discovery looking about for locatloi.*^
' Word comes from the Tesllu coun
try that muny of tho prospectors who
wont into that district aro still of
tin. opinion that rich diggings aro
there, and they intend to stay with
It this summer. There Is still con
siderable snow ou tho ground, which
uiako prospoctlng difficult. Some
of tho prospectors claim that thoy
.ire taking out $2.50 per day with
th old stylo panning process, and
tnink that this will bo considerably
Increased whou groater facilities
for sluicing are Installed.
E. L. Pillman, accompanied by his
sister of Boston returned from the
coast last woek. Mr. Plllman's sls
'.or will remain in Atlln during tho
comlug summer.
Mr. McKco caiuc In from O'Donne
c: t-ok last week and after ongaglng
toveral men, roturnod to his claims
wcero preparation for tho summers
work will be punned.
Peter Caber haB purchased a
cabin aud Is giving it a thorough
rei ovating before moving In for the
summor.
O'Douuel creek Is rapidly coming
to tho front as a producer, and tho
coming summer will seo it ono of th
best paying creeks In this district.
Many of tho prospectors who stam
peded to the Tesltn districts have
gone to O'Donnel and aro staking
claims, on the ground there. There
ar*- about 75 men now on tho croek.
R. Barm* mot with a painful ac
cident while at work on his claim on
Sj ruco creek. In company with
John Mcl'herson, ho was working
;lw shaft, and whllo the latter was
hulstlng a bucket of rock from the
pit in which Barnes was working,
the rope broke, letting tho buckei
fa^l on him. Tho entire bucket of
rock fell on Barnes, cutting somo ug
ly gashes in his head, and neces
sitating his removal to tho hospital
In this city. After receiving atten
tion from the hospital physician, ho
begnn to improve, and Is expected to
be able to resume his work within a
short time.
J. R. Austin, a capitalist from the

QUEER INVENTIONS!
Curious Dcviccs For Which Pat
ents Have Been Granted.
THE TREETOP RAILWAY LINE.
Thii Weird Schome Involved Building
an Elevated Road Supported by Liv
ing Wood ? An Ingenioui Panther
Trap and a Noieeleee Alarm Clook.
A chewing gum locket and nil devia
ted railroad supported by tbe brunches
uf growing trees nre among tLe devices
which have been granted patents from
our government. The patent ofllco U
quite broad minded In lb) Ideas of what
ought to be patented.
The chewing guin locket wns patent
ed Jan. 1. 1889, by Christopher W. Rob
ertson ofSomervIlle, Tenn. The locket
resembles tbe ordinary one which is
used to curry the sweetheart's picture,
but lusteail of a photograph It Is llucd
with a |K>rrelnltt glass Interior. Into
tills the chewing guui Is neatly slipped
for future reference
Tlie tree supported eicvateu raiiroau
Is the Idea of Jerome Orlay of Tern
sclie. Belgium, and '''s patent Ictteni
were granted March 10. 1012. In order
to build n railroad of tills type all tbnt
Is necessary to do Is to plant trees on
both Hides of tlie street and have them
lean toward ono another until they
cross at the top. In the crotch thus
provided It would l>c possible to lay
stringers to which cross ties. etc.. would
be attached and to build your elevated
railroad running under shady branches
and supported by living wood. Addi
tional poles, If desired, may !>e set be
tween the trees, und part of the patent
provides for running a double track
road, with one car sl>ove the other.
One ?f the most provident Inventors
Is George C. Hale of Kansas City. Mo.,
who was granted a patent Aug. 4. 1885,
for a combination suspenders nnd Are
escape. Woven Into the fabric of the ap
parently Innocent galluses. Mr. Hale's
pntcut provided for a string treated
with some form of chemicals, so that
It would not easily bnrn. When caught
on the upper doors of n burning build
ing the man provided with the lire
escppe suspenders hud oHy to pull the
end of this string, which Immediately
unfurled itself for about 200 or .100
feet. Then he could let down this
string to the street, have It attached
to it substantial rope, pull the rope up
to his floor, attach tho rope to n llrm
point and escape from tlie burning
building:
Speaking of suspenders. Mark Twain
was the grantee of a suspender pat
ent In December. 1871. he patented
nti Improvement In adjustable nnd de
tnchable straps for garments. In de
scribing his Invention Samuel f<. Clem
ens classifies It as "an adjustable and
detachable elastic strap for vests, pan
taloons or other garments requiring
slrniw" and claims as Its novel feature
the fact that It Is provided with de
vices for adjusting Its length nnd with
buttonholed ends for direct attachment
to the clothing The device appears to
consist merely of two pieces of leather
with buttonholes nt the ends and a
hook with different holes for adjusting
the length.
An Ingenious contrivance has been
patented by nn Oregon man by menns
of which the family cat can l>e used
ns live lmlt for catching lynxes, cou
gars. panthers, and the like, without
danger to the cat and with great cer
tainty that the wild animals will be
tni|i|ied. The patent consists of a
sharp stake with a |K>lut at the top.
Intended to make It uncomfortable for
pussy to rest there permanently, nnd
a ring over the stake, to wlilcb by a
light chain Is nttached a collar or har
ness, which fastens nronnd the cnt's
neck. In n circle about the stake are
set a half dozen steel traps, securely
chained to the ground In such n way
that an anlmnl caught In one of them
could not quite rench the stake. Drive
the stake somewhere out In the wilds
where lynxes and panthers do congre
gate. put pussy Into the collar and
await results. Being a live bait she
will yowl. This will attract the nnl
mals. but when they come sho will
Immediately escape by running up the
stake, which U covered with cloth to
give her claws a chance. The nnlmal,
while prancing around at the foot of
the stake, will prance Into ono of the
steel traps and get caught. Pussy will
como down from the pointed top nnd
serve as bait to attract more animals.
The acme of ingenuity, howover, bas
been reached by George ITogan in bis
noiseless alarm clock, patented June 9,
1908. The Ilogan device consists of a
Jar of water on a shelf abovo tho bed,
from which runs a hose, which on re
tiring the sleeper attaches to bis leg.
By means of the ordinary alarm clock
a valve Is opened at any hour that
may be desired, when water begins to
flow against the leg of the victim.
This does not disturb the neighbors
and Is sure to awaken tbo sleeper, a
satisfactory arrangement for every
body.
The one tblng which tho government
*?111 not consider among applications
for patents is perpetual motion. For
mnny years aerial navigation was In
cluded In this refusal. Tho Wright
brothers compiled with the demands
of the patent ofllco for a demonstra
tion on n man carrying scale, and
since then the doors have been o pencil
to flying machine patents.? Technical
