RY A.N WAS RIGHT ONCE.
Whether Dick Ryan has turned
against territorial government for
Alaska or whether he has been mis
represented will be discovered in due
time. If he has made up his mind not
to urge solf-government for this dis
trict is not in line with his promise be
fore the convention and immediately
afterward. He took strong ground for
the right of the people to manage the r
own sifairs in his speech delivered at
the banqet given to the Alaskan con
vention by the Seattle chamber of com
mnrce. The Seattle Times, in giving
an account of that banquet, devotes
this paragraph to Mr. Ryan:
"S. R. Ryan, when he rose to his
feet to answer to the toast assigned
him, was given an ovatio}. For sever
al minutes he was unable to proceed
because of the cheers and applause of
his supporters. If the convention had
not been at a close, it would have prob
ably caused a stampede. Ryan asked
the people of Seattle to see that the
congressional delegation from this state
aided the north in its fight for govern
mental Independence "
At the last minute the sultan of Tur
key granted full control of Macedonia
to the powers. He could not look the
big guns of the assembled tleet in the
mouth when he became convinced they
were ready to do the talking for the
diplomats.
The bond of F. A. Wing, the United
States assayer at Seattle, is for only
?20.000 so he and his bondsmen can
not be required to make the Adams'
shortage good.

patches were received by the Daily
Alaskan because there was no issue of
the paper, there was reported to have
been a disperate battle at Sevastapol be
tween the troops and war ships that re
main loyal to the czar and the muti
neers. The Whitehorse Star contains
the following d spatches description of
the affair:
St. Petersburg? Word has reached
here of a bloody naval and land tight at
Sevastapol between mutineers and
loyalists. Two loyal battleships were
blown up -md 5000 men are reported to
have been killed on each side.
Sevastapol? During the battle a miff
ing ship with .00 whitehead torpedoes
and other explosives was sunk by the
commander to prevent her being blown
up by the mutineers Late In the day
several regiments of artillery arrived
from Odessa when a large number of
i&e mutineers surrendered although
man. of tllem escaped.

DRAWING FINE WIRE.
Diamond Dion Are Card, Slorl Xm
Reins Hard Knouvrli.
Diamonds ape use! quite extensively
as dies for drawing wire of the small
est sizes? for instance, the sizes less
than, say, twenty-live one thousandths
of an inch diameter.
The hardest steel dle.s are not suitable
for this work for the roasou that the
wear upon them so enlarges the die
that the diauieter of the wire is not uni
form within the required percentage of
variation at the beginning and end of
a drawing. Sapphires are used some
times for this work. Copper, silver and
platinum are the metals usually drawn
to the very small sizes.
With diamond dies it Is practicable
to draw platinum to a diameter of five
ten-thousandths of an inch. An idea
of the fineness of a copper wire drawn
to only three one-thousandths of an
inch In diameter may be gathered from
the fact that In oue pound of the metal
there are over six miles of such wire.
The weight of the diamonds used for
this work Is from four to five carats,
and they are uncut except as to the die.
The value of these dies, which, of
course, are not of the first water, va
ries from |15 to $20 a carat, and sev
eral hundred thousand dollars' worth
of diamonds are utilized as dies In the
various wire factories of this country
alone.? Electrical Review.
GEOMETRY IN BATTLE. (
Row Marlborough Won Hia Great
Victory at llamilllcii.
The genius of Marlborough seized up
on the simple fact that the arc is great
er than Its chord when he won his
great victory at Kamillles. The French
army under Vllleroi was posted in an
arc on a ridge of hills. Their left ex
tended to the village of Autre Eglise 1
and owing to the steepness of the hills
and the river and marsh In front was
In an almost Impregnable position.
Their forces swept round on the top of
the ridge till they reached on the ex
treme right a height behind the village
of Bamlllles known as the Tomb of Oi
tamond.
Marlborough saw that this height was
the key to the position. He first made
? vigorous feint on Autre Eglise and
so caused the French generals to hurry
In person to that point. Then he moved
large bodies of troops rapidly and se
cretly along the chord of the arc and
carried the position on the French right
before Vllleroi bad time to bring up re
enforcements by the longer line of the
curve.
This Is easily understood when It Is
remembered that the chord of an arc la
a straight line joining the extremities
of an arc or two points In a curve.?

THE PERFECT FOOT.
It la Said to Be Found Only Among
American Women.
"The American woman's foot Is the
prettiest," said the shoemaker. "It Is at
once slender and robust and very sup
ple. The instep Is high and beautiful?
In a word, a perfect foot, charming
and serviceable alike In n pink satin
slipper in a ballroom or In a white rub
ber soled shoe on a tennis court or in a
stout, hobnailed boot on the side of the
Jungfrau or the Matterhorn.
"The Frenchwoman's foot comes
next. It Is long and slender and ele
gant, but weak, na good for service,
rery ornamental? a foot for show.
"The Spanish foot Is small, and its
Instep is high and arc!-ed. Here, too,
there is not enough strength. There Is
a tendency to softness an.I in later ilfe
to fat
"The German foot is large, but shape
ly and strong. It resembles the Ameri
can foot. on!y It Is nmch bigger.
"The English foot Is the ? Is the? well,
It is the limit! It Is long: It Is bony; It
has no Instep; It wears its shoe over on
the skle. Nowhere in the world will
you And a race with such ugly feet as^
those of the English."? Minneapolis
Journal.
Stcvenxcn nntl Wallace.
Sir Donald Mackenzie Wallace once
found hln.self at a club In Edinburgh,
where he fell In'o conversation about
Russia with a youth who put forward
some views In which he could not
acquiesce. "Oh," said this personage,
"It is all very well for yoi to say that
you do not ag ee with me, but I know
all about It. I have Ju t been review
Ing Wallace's 'Russia.' " "And I have
Just been writing it," was the natural
reply. The former speaker II el to be
famous. He was It. L. Stevenson.
Sorrow.
Sorrow Is not an Incident occurring
now and then. It is the woof which Is
woven Into the warp of life, and he
who has n*>t discerned the divine sa
credness of sorrow and the profound
meaning which Is concealed In pain
has yet to learn what life is.? F. W
Robertson.
nntMHuT.
Hypocrisy Is folly, for It Is mnch
easier, safer and pleasanter to be the
thing which a man seems to appear
than to keep up the appearance of be
ing what he Is not. ? Lord Burleigh.

Ethel ? Mamma, why Is the wife of a
lord called "Lady?" Mamma? Because
that Is her title. Ethel? But can't peo
ple see that she's a lady without being
told so?? Town and Country.
Avarice.
Avarice Is generally the last passion
of those lives of which the first part
has been squandered in pleasure and
the second devoted to ambition.? John
