Why Fishes Are Slippery.
Fish of almost every sort are, whcD
fresh caught, slippery and bard to bold.
This sllpperiness is due to a sort of
mucus exuded through the scale, and
of the greatest Importance to all
slimy creatures.
One of tbe Important functions of the
fish's slimy coating la to protect it from
the attacks of fungus, a form of plant
life found In all waters, salt and fresh,
foul and pure. If tbe flsh Is so Injured
that some spot becomes uncovered by
the slime, a barely visible fungus will
be likely to lotlgo there, and wben it Is
once lodged the process of reproduction
Is very rapid. It soon extends over the
gills and kills the fish.
The primary purpose of the slime of
tbe fish Is to reduce Its friction when In
motion through the water and Increase
its speed- It also serves as a cushion to
the scalea, which It thua protects from
many Injuries.

PACIFIC COAST NEW
Comnterelal and Ylnatielnt tlappenln
of Internal to tlia Growing
Western Sis, tea.
Plnoe the first of July tha people
Alaska have coutrilmtod to tho fudnral
treasury iu license inonoy the inagulil
cent stun of $163,274.40 for the urivi
lege of doitui business iu Alaska and
developing the territory, says tha SknH'
way AlAttkan. This is in audition to
the tariff duties pald.intortml revenues
taxes and all other taxes common to
the couutry at large. It la a special
tax levied upon business in Alaska
alone, suoh as no other oitisens of the
United States are required to pay; in
fact it is a tax that was ttever before in
the history ot the United States levied
against any of its peoplo.
Plenty of Supplies at Dawson.
D. W. Bullock, lately arrived from
Dawson, said to an Alaskan reporter:
"Dawson is supplied with everything
needed there for tho winter. The r.
port as to a great shortage of oats is
not true. There is plenty 'of pats along
the river aud in Dawsou to supply the
interior. Whcu we got away from
Dawson, November 7, oats wore sell'
lng for 23 cents a pound aud hay at
15 cents. Last winter oats weut to 40
and 45 cents, and bay to 8S to 60 cents.
Tobaooo soils in Dawsou today for $1
to $1.25 a pound, loss than it driiii; iu
Bennett. The Bennett price is $1.60
pound. Flour that sold for $8 in Daw
son a year ago is worth only $4.75
there today. There will be plenty of
beef in Dawsou throughout the wiuter,
Dumbolton had four scows loaded with
beef on the way in, one of which is at
Selkirk and one at Stewart river. I do
not kuow whore the others are. Pttiii
bolton will take the meat through to
Dawson over tho ice after the river
frevie. McDougall & Burns hare HO
tons below Selkirk and will take it in
over the ico. The labor market of
Dawson is glutted. There were 1,000
to 1,500 idle men in the town when
left, and more were rushing in from up
the river."
Atltns Future Ontpnt.
manes i;nristopner, who has neuo
tinted more large Atlin mining deals
than any other man iu the couutry dur
ing the season recently closed, is au
thonty for tho statement that there
will be no less than half a dozen large
hydraulic plants put in operation in
Atlin with the opening of spring. II
says the output of gold in that country
will exceed $5,000,000. The gold com
ni it loner collected royalty on about
$700,000 this summer, but he failed to
collect on more than half the output
There was at least $1,800,000 taken
out of the Atlin gold fields this year,
and next year the output will exoeed
$5,000,000. Last summer the great
majority of the miners did not get to
work before Auuust 1, and they all
worked small clnims and handled most
of the dirt with shovels. Next yea
they will handle it by the hydraulic
process.
Bnowsllde on White Pass.

THE WORST AND THI BEST.
Wall ".treat Buffered, Mul (laneral Hual
ness Was tlood.
II. O. Dun Ss Co.'s weekly tevlew of
trade sayss The worst day in Wall
street in many years was in part the
legitimate result of the lt year iu
business ever known. Because tha
country had prospered so greatly and
so expaudod its business that it could
no longer afford to have many millions
locked up in carrying stocks represent
ing imaginary values, the question
was not one of monetary supply. When
the country found ample use for its
capital in regular trade and productive
industry, a contraction of loans beeaiti
necessary, which would have beeu
more paiuful if the volume of stocks
had been larger.
The business of the couutry close to
the holidays is necessarily smaller than
it has been, and yet larger than at the
same date iu any other year. 1.x
changes through principal clearing'
houses for the week have been 83.7
larger than last year, and 60.4 percent
larger thau in 1803, including 82.1 per
rent saiu in paymeuts outside New
York. There was not even a susplcltm
of unsoundness iu any considerable
branch of Industry or trade, the ex
truordinary expansion iu some being ns
well warruutud as the material gain
iu others.
Cotton suffered in speculation fur
day with stocks, but tho great decrease
in receipts from farms siuce September
over- 1,600,000 bales gives strong
support to prices, as does the increase
of 200,000 bales in takings by spinners.
Wheat has fallen both iu foretgu de-
maud aud in prices, in spite of still
larger loss in Western receipts, for tho
week only 8,300,280 bushels, agaiust
7,840,170 bushels last year.
Failures for tho week have been S20
iu the United States, against 258 hist
year, and 20 iu Canada, agaiust 81 last
yonr.
