fOOftLY J'aIO MAIL CARRIERS
Dogs That Bring News From llow? |
to th*. Lonely Men In Alaska Got
Uttlo for Wor?.
'?'here Is a good deal of talk over
the meager pay received by mall car
riers, l?\|t the most poorly paid of Uncle
Sam's mall carriers receive f*r lesa
than the faiplllur postman, yet never
make complaint. They get * pound
and a half of dried salmon for a full
day's pay.
The> are the kusky ami the Mala
muie, the native Eskimo ami the na
tive Indian dog" In the great Yukon
country, Without them the gold-seek
ers, thjr fur traders, the shopkeepers
and the mission workers In the Interior
of Alaska (except for the more fortu
nate ones who live along the lines of
the few railroads) would receive no
mall from the time the Ice forms over
the rivers In October until It breaks up
In May. ~ *
Even the most Inaccessible of post
otnees receive mall once a month In
winter (though only one mull la cur*
rled. then), and for those ,ln the Interior
of Alaftka the husky. and the Malainute
are mall carrier and Santa Claus com
bined. They would be without word
from the outside world for ' eight
months every year If It were not for
the mall dogs.
These animals are pushed to their
Utmost by considerate and crueJ drivel1
alike, for there Is a prescribed task for
them every day, and all they got out
of It is a pound and a half of dried
salmon at the end of the day.
When they are not working their al
lowance of 1inh Is cut down. In the
summer they are fed on the refuse of
fresh salmon at the Ashing dumps,
where the mall contractor boards them
out until the rivers freeze again.
IMPORTANT PART OF BUILDING
Ceremonies More or Less Elaborate
Generally Accompany Laying of
Cornerstone.
The United States government J>uts
up public buildings all over the coun
try, and a cornerstone is customarily
laid. Hut there is no hole ln> the lat
ter unless It be requested by the local
authorities, or a Masonic body desires
to conduct a ceremony. , ~
The Masons take a special Interest In
cornerstones. On such an occasion
they appear in full regalia, and a cop
per box Is used to hold the articles In
terred. The box t? soldered up and
placed Inside the cornerstone, which
Is then sealed "with cement, i
In Europe It Is a part of the busi
ness of inonarehs to lay cornerstones.
In this country the services of a presi
dent are always In demand for the pur
pose, If obtainable. On -a conspicuous
corner In Washington Is a cornerstone
laid by Mr. Taft when he was presi
dent. It was meant for a church that
remains yet unbuilt.
Colonel Roosevelt, when president,
laid the cornerstone of the Masonic
temple' In Washington. Oddly enough
It was 30 feet In the air at the time
of the ceremony, upheld by timbers,
the ground beneath It having been dug
away to that depth. But It was neces
sary to grab the president while the
grabbing was good.
Feeding Pigs by Machinery.
A hogmeter is "not a motor-hog;
It Is a pig self-feeder. Two of these
Ingenious Inventions have been tried
by the Western Australian minister for
agriculture on his farm, with eminent
ly satisfactory result's.
The machine Is a combination of a
hopper, a grioder, and a ^ellvery plat
form, which has ten divisions. The
ground wheat Is equally, distributed by
delivery chutes. The snouting Instinct
of the pig has been requisitioned to
supply the motive power, the divisions
on the platform being so arranged that
the animal, In trying to snout It out
of the way for more feed, forces the
platform round, thus grinding for Itseli
more wheat, whloh fails Tn~the next
and succeeding divisions, and so on.
Ten pigs can fed at the same time
There Is no waste. The pig does not
crush more than he can eat, and he
cannot possibly eat more than he
crushes.
Buried Treasures In Arizona.
What Is believed to be the first clue
to the reputed burled treasure's of the
padres of the Tumacacori mission,
built by the Spanish JCsults high up
in the Tumacacor! mountains, less
than three hours' Journey from Tucson.
Ariz., has been discovered by Frank
Plnckley, custodian of the ruins. It Is
the gateway to the mission cemeierv.
From this gateway, it Is said, the plans
and maps left by the padres start to
outline the way to the burled gold and
silver.
The Tumacacori mission was built
near what are believed to be the ruins
of one of I he Seven Cities of Cibola.
The center region is paid to show evl
donees of rich mineral deposits, which
declare those who have Inspected the
mountains, doubtless led the padres to
build thfHr mlsslt/n there.
8t ill. It's Well to Try.
What is said to be the reeord for re
su?citatlon from drowning was accom
plished by United States life-saver*
after the victim had been submerged
for six minutes. Among a great mstny
persons the erroneous belief exists
that persons can.be resuscitated after
having been In the water a greut
length of time. Cases have been
known where resuscitation methods
were nsed for honrs after the drowned
persons hnd l>een under water for a
half hour, or even longer. Thus tt will

ings.
St. Louis, Mo. ? Klghty-flve miners
?ml five topmen w<?re thrown out of
work when Mine Examiner George
Granger of the New National Coal com
pany ordered the mine closed becuuse
jif the odor from the Qrevelly Valley
hog farm near Belleville, which fa
aucked down Into the mine by the
fan In the veutllatlng shaft.
A committee composed of Granger,
Charles Gibbons anil John Hubert was
named to consult an attorney . with a
view to Instituting suit against Guy
W. Caron, the 'head of the company op
erating the hog farm, for damages for
time lost by the men. State Mine In
spector Thomas Wright has posted a
notice at the mine, which la three
blocks from the hog farm, that the men
are not allowed to go down if the
odor from the farm penetrates the
mine.
Steps to restrain the company from
operating the farm are to be taken, by
the city of Belleville In Injunction pro
ceedings which will be filed shortly.
There are from 4,000 to 6,000 hogs at
the farm, a half mile south of Belle
ville, where St. Louis garbage Is fed.
REVIVE RITES OF DRUIDS
Many Welshmen Take Part In Ancient
Ceremonies in Pittsburgh
Park.
Pittsburgh, Pa. ? Ancient Druldlc
rites were revived at the annual con
clave of the American Gorsedd here.
Tho ceremonies took plnce In Scbenley
park. More than 2,000 Welshmen from
all parts of the country and a number
from foreign countries were present.
Rev. William Surdlval of Middle
point, O., the American Archdruld, con
ducted the ceremonies. In the midst
of a circle Composed of unhewn pil
ars the archdruld stood on the Logan
stone. In front of the unhewn pillars
an officer was stationed. All the offi
cers appeqred In the old Druldlc robes
and thd accompaniment to all musical
selections was by harpist. The prin
cipal feature of the ceremonies was
the unsheathing of the sword, an an
cient custom which has been traced
back to 1,700 years before the Chris
tian era.
Among the more prominent guests
of honor were Hon. James T. Thom
as, member of English parliament and
leader of the labor party in Great
Britain, and Sir Joseph Dayles, also a
member of parliament and former sec
