ALASKA DWJ&liI.VU HOUSES
A houso or habitation built by
human beings ages ago, with stouo
utensils, stono knlvoa and axos, wan
found lust summer In tho vicinity of
Point Barrow, Alaska, according to
A. I,. Maxwell, u government teuch
Mr. Maxwell and three white
men from Point Barrow, whllo
prospecting along the beach of
Brilng Sea, In July, dlscoverod a
high cliff of gravel, tho strata of
wblrti. It was docldod, had boon
plkd up In that lofty way by ice

At 4a point where tho action of
tho wave* had washed away graved,
i hi framework ot a primitive house
w:m uncovered. Tho remarkable
dwelling was woll preserved in the
gravel. The roof was made of the
r,bs of an Immense whalo or some
mammoth beast long extinct. Tho
libs from twenty to thirty feet long
were set to u center colun u of
rucks, after tho fashion of aa um
brella. Over this framework skins
had ovldetnly been stretchec.. Th ?
gravel was washed away so ?radu
a. ) that many of the ribs had
sca-cely moved.
Convinced of tho primitive nature
of the dwelling because of tbo fact
that there are no such bonerj seen
anywhere In tho northern tundra,
the mon began dlgglug to soc what
lay on tho floor, nnd wero success

HIS SELF CONTROL.
H* Provtd It to Hit Own but Not Hill
Family'! Satisfaction.
Mr. Brown wan excitable by nature,
but he often prided himself audibly
upon hi* M-lf control. One night while
the family were gathered at the tea
table the chimney begun to roar. The
furnace draft hud becu opened and for
gotten. Straightway a panic ex-sued.
"Don't lo*e your beads? keep cooir1
cried Mr. Brown. "It's nothing seri
ous."
Ho dashed up the stairs, discovered
that the metal cap over the only un
used stovepipe hoie was already red
hot. and dashed down again faster
than be wout up.
"Keep cool!" he gasped as he passed
through the room where the family
had gathered In nervous apprehension.
"I'll be back in a minute."
He was back In less than thai time,
having observed that the damn were
spouting several feet high from th?
chimney and that a shower of spark*
"was falling upon the roof.
"Wh-where's tbo steplndder?" he
panted.
Ue was gone before any ont could
answer the question and presently was
beard bellowlug from the toof of the
wood shed. He presented a heroic
flgtire In the glare of the blazing chim
ney.
"I've got one end of the hose," he
called. "Some one attAch the other
end and turn on tbe water? qulckl"
Two long rolnntes passed.
"Why doeon't some one do as I or
dered?" he thundered. "Do you want
the place to burn up?"
"We can't. Henry," called Mr*. Brown
tremblingly. "Von haven't got the
hose. You've got the cow rope. It
was banging next to tbo how In the
shed, and anyway the roof !* covered
with Ice. and I don't tblnk there's any
great danger outside. You'd "setter go
and watch tbe chimney from tho in
side."
A half hour later the family were
again at tbe tea table.
"If this bad happened in some
homes," remarked Mr. Brown, "tbe
family would bavo lost their beads
completely and sent in an nlarm. Self
control Is an excellent thing and far
from common."
"Indeed, It Is." agreed Mrs. Brown
emphatically.? Youth's Companion.

MENDING A CABLE
The Snapping of a Submarine
Line Entails Hard Work.
LOCATING THE BREAK IS EASY.
This I* Accomplished by tha Um of
Sensitive Instrument*, and Than
Coma* vha DiHioult Task of Grappling
and Raiains the Severed Enda.
Tbe 700 mllo cablo that connected
Hamilton, Bermuda,' with Halifax,
Nova- Scotia. bad snapped. Somewhere
uuder many fathoms of water lay tbe
two broken ends, pcrhapa only a few
Inches apart? more llltely balf a jnlle
or so from eacb other? carried from
their accustomed bed by tbe wash of
the waves. Until the two enda were
connected the thousands and thousands
of dollars Invested In the cable were
bringing no Incomo.
As the result or Uie acciueni uauiu
ton was practically Isolated from tbe
rest of the world, for the only other
cable went to Jamaica. By rending 8
message to Jamaica and baring It re
layed to Newfoundland and thence by
telegraph to New York It was possible
to get a few words through In a fairly
short time But the tolls were enor
motisl.v high.
The moment the operator at Halifax
found that the key on the Bermuda
cable did not respond to bis touch he
reported the fact to his superior In the
Elaltfax office. Orders. flew back and
forth, telephone bells rang, messengers
scurried In ajid out of the office, and
In a few hours the cable repair steam
er was on Its way to Bermuda.
The operators at Halifax and Hamll
ton had located the -break. It was
about six miles from the Hamilton end
of the cable. This they calcotatod
with sensitive Instruments used to re
cord the "resistance."
The writer was In Hamilton when
the Mnckny-Bennctt 6teamed Into the
hnrbor' and through the courtesy of
the captain was on bosrd when the
steamer went out and grappled for the
ends of the cnble and restored It to
usefulness.
Even when the captain of a cable re
pair ship knows that the break Is about
six miles from one- end It's no easy
a (fair to pick op the big wire ropes.
The floor of the oceun Is uneven, and
be must allow for slack.
Tbe crew was ready when the ship
?topped. With n splash the big grap
nel went overboard, and yard after
yard of line was paid out until the
hook touched bottom. The water was
120 fathoms i720 feet) deep at that
spot
Luck was with tho cable ship So
well had the captain calculated that
the very flrst cast of the hook brought
np one end of the broken cable. It
was hauled on board. The electricians
attached their Instruments and called
Hamilton. Tbe station answered Im
mediately.
A huge buoy was attached to the
Heavy wire rope and lowered Into the
wnter Then we set out to find the
| other end.
Cast after enst of the grappling hook
<nd not even a nibble from tbe mMsIng
part of the cable Karther and far
ther the cnble ship worked away from
tbe buoy. At last, after three hours'
work, the grapnel resisted the pull.
Tbe Ash had been caught. There was
h cheer from the crew as It was pull
ed on board, about a quarter of a mile
from the other end
This end was connected with a tele
graph Instrument and the operator at
Halifax, about 700 miles awny. an
swered. There was nothing more to do
except to Join tbe broken ends.
A new section of cnble was carefully
spliced to the cable that had Just been
picked np The cable was paid out
over the stern as we steamed back to
the buoy This was hauled on board
and the broken end spliced to the new
piece of cable, nn operation consuming
less than half an hour. Tbe repaired
cable, as good as new. wns dropped
overboard to resume Its place on tbe
ocean's bed.
Rarely does a cable repair ship have
such gocff luck. Often storms ati^e
which drive the ship from her course,
tear the buoys from the ends they hold
and compel the work to be done oyer
again.
In northern waters these conditions
aro felt at their worst The ship be
comes crusted with Ice, It la difficult
to maneuver and doubly so to deal
with a cable on bow or stern when the
roll of the seas threatens to fracture It
again, and the launching of boats with
men In them to buoy a loose end U
hazardous.
From these causes occasionally- cable
ships get short of coal and have to
abandon work temporarily at critical
periods, or they are enmeshed among
the Ice floes or bergs and have to let
go oil and retreat? Karl K. Kitchen In
