HOW —
HOI.ES ok required size
MAY BE MADE IN GLASS.—
Sometimes glass cun be success
fully drilled by means of an ordi
nary twist drill, well sharpened,
keeping the point immersed in a
pool of camphorated oil while the
drilling is being done. A guide
plate with a hole to tit the drill
in it should be clamped to the sur
face. Another way is to mark the
spot where the holes are wanted;
then to clamp the guide plate with
a hole of the correct size over the
glass; then drill the boles by
means of line emery or carborun
dum powder and a piece of brass
tubing held in a very light hand
drill. Small pieces of tubing can
be held in the “chuck" of small
drills and where larger holes are
needed the tubing may be soldered
to a small piece of round iron
which can be held in the chuck.
Only a short piece of tubing should
be used, two inches being usually
sufficient. It should be perfectly
straight and revolve concentrically.
A little water is placed on the
glass surt'nce, the tube is dipped
in water, then in the powder; tin*
tube is then placed in the guide
hole and drilling started with only
very little pressure on the drill and
with rapid rotation. Great care is
necessary to prevent breaking out
of the edges of the hole on its com
pletion, a thing which can be pre
vented only by perfect support un
der the glass at the point of the
hole and by drilling with the very
minimum of pressure at the end
of the hole. The drill hole has to
be kept supplied with carborun
dum powder as the drilling pro
ceeds.
How Spring's on Summits
of Mountains Replenish
Springs on the nctual summits of
mountains are very rare. When they
do occur they are caused hy the pres
sure of gases in the mountain which
forces the water upward. As a rule
spirngs on mountains are some dis
tance from the top. They are the re
sult of the surface water soaking into
the porous upper soil und continuing
downward until it is intercepted by an
impervious stratum, along which it
runs until the layer crops out on the
mountain slope. Such springs are gen
erally intermittent, flowing only a
short time after wet weather and
drying up when there has been no rain
or other precipitation for a consider
able period.
How to Pres* Flower*
Delicate wild flowers should be
pressed quickly, thoroughly and with
a pressure that will not crush them.
They should be gathered on a warm
dry day. The more succulent flowers j
are pressed between sheets of white j
blotting paper, while the others may !
be pressed between sheets of brown i
paper, using moderate pressure the
•irst day. On the second day the
sheets may be taken out and dried
Oofore a fire before replacing the flow
ore. There are various methods of
preserving flowers: by dipping In
melted beeswax, varnish, drying with
sand or n mixture of plaster of paris
and unslaked lime, or dusting with
salicylic acid or boric acid.
How “Cat Religion’’ Came
It is supposed that the well-known
cat religion of Egypt was suggested
by the services of this animal In con
trolling the hordes of field mice and
other rodents which otherwise would
have destroyed all the grain in the
delta of the Nile. The cat was un
known to the ancient Hebrews, Assyri
ans and Babylonians, and the Creeks
and Romans did hot have cats until
after the conquest of Egypt. About
r.,000 years ago, it is believed, the
Egyptians Imported cats from the
country to the south now known as
Nubia.
How Human Being* Grow
A baby doubles its weight In the
first six months of its life and quad
ruples it in the tirst three years. No
one grows regularly but in a series of
spurts. The year of greatest growth
in boys is usually the seventeenth,
while in girls it is usually the four
teenth. Girls ns a rule reach their
full height at fifteen, but continue to
SENATOR JONES DEATH
LOSS TO TERRITORY
In the recent sudden death
of Senator Wesley L. Jones, of
Washington, state, the Terri
tory lost a valued friend. As
chairman of the powerful Sen
ate Appropriations Committee
he frequently came to the res
cue of the North when the low
er House had cut needed sums
in the various bills passed by
the lower body.
A recent instance of this was
in the appropriation made by
the House in the last session
for the Alaska Road Commiss
ion, which cut the budget al
lowance of $650,000 to $345,
000. Through the activity of
Alaska delegate Wickersham,
the chairman of the Senate Ap
propriations Committee was in
duce dto insist that the sum be
raised to $494,000, which was
later agreed to by the House.
Fortunately for Alaska, the
other Washington Senator,
Hon. Clarence C. Dill, is also a
staunch supporter of the Terri
tory and and can be relied up
on to render beneficial service.

ALASKA SEAL HERD
SHOWS GOOD INCREASE
The Pribloff Islands seal herd,
now the most valuable in the
world, increased 8.24 per cent
in number last year, according
to Henry O’Malley, Commiss
ioner of Fisheries.
A tabulation completed prior
to the herd’s return from the

their physical strength and fitness at
about thirty.
How to Clean Painting
The painting should be taken from
its frame and a piece of cloth moist
ened with rain water laid over it.
This should be left on it a while to
take up the dirt. Several applications
may be required to secure a perfect
result. The painting should then lie
wiped very gently with a tuft of cotton
wool damped with pure linseed oil.
Hold frames may be cleaned with a
freshly cut onion. A few hours after
the application of the onion they
should be wiped with rain water, aud
finally wiped with a soft rag.
How Watches Are Influenced
Climate affects timepices of all
kinds. The rate of a chronometer is
influenced by tremors, changes in
moisture, chunges in barometric pres
sure, time since it was cleaned, oiled
or repaired, and changes in tempera
ture. Some of these influences have
been eliminated in modern high-grade
watches, us in the use of a new nou
varylng hairspring metal.

been reduced to about 132,000
animals when the Bureau of
Fisheries undertook the super
vision of the rookries in 1911.
Since that time the annual
“harvest” of prime males has
increased almost without inter
ruption until in the last few
years nearly 50,000 skins were
taken each year. The census

showed 387,320 cows, an
equal number of pups, 192,275
yearlings and 2-year-old fe

bulls, and 240,609 males of all
other classes.

ALASKA NOTES

Attempting to knock a porcu
pine out of a tree with the butt
of his shotgun, Ernest Souza,
Cordova fisherman, shot him
selfin the hip, riddling the hip
and lower part of the abdomen
with a full charge of shot.
A dividend of five per cent
was paid recently to stockhold
ers of the Cleary Hill Alaska
Mines Co. The payment will
bring the dividend payment for

ord. The stock is not listed on
any exchange.
Sing Lee, 80, Chinese merch
