Ubwbiki City News to- Come Out Over a Telegraph Line. San Francisco, July 24. Every day new schemes are being proposed for financial investments in the land of yel low metal, and business men are confer ring and considering many plans for the profitable investment of money in the northern regions. One of the latest en terprises formulated is that of the Alas ka Telegraph and Telephone Company, which proposes to incorporate shortly 'for the purpose of constructing a tem porary telegraph line from Juneau to -Dawson city. The capital stock to be subscribed is $50,000, and the company is to be incorporated under the laws of California. At the head of the enter prise are J. W. Wright, a local real eetate dealer ; C. W. Wright, of Lark spur, and D, E. Bohannon. The last named is constructor of the company. Mr. Bohannon ezpiained the details of the construction of the new wire. "Our method is very simple," he said. "The line is to be constructed on the same plans as the ordinary military lice aged by armies for war purposes. We have a wire a quarter of an inch thick and covered with a Kertie insulation, which haa proved thoroughly able to eland the rigorous climatic conditions prevailing in Alaska. The wire is wound -up on large reels, the same as ordinary Poor Blood is starved blood. It shows itself in pale cheeks, white lips, weak digestion, no appetite, exhaus tion, lack of nerve force, soft muscles, and, chief of all, weak muscles. ' Your doctor calls it Anaemia. He will tell you that the weakening weather of sum mer often brings it on. j- Scott S . Emulsion of Cod-liver Oil with Hypo phosphites, will make poor blood rich. It is a food for over-taxed and weak digestion, so prepared that it can easily be taken in summer when Cod-liver Oil or even ordinary foods might repel.

Roman Backet That Hates' Back Sixteen . Hundred Years. My thoughts, when I was at the ruins of Silehcster' recently, were that hun dreds of antiquarians all over the coun try, would have given gold to anyone who should have tofti them of the great "find"' that was there and then to be safely .brought to hand, says a letter in London Truth. ' A friend and myself strolled over from Aldermaston to view the ruins and as muny of the "finds" as were still to be seen. Mr. Davis, F. S. A., at present superintending the opera tions, explained to us how, when dig ging out on old wail, he made the lucky discovery of a tunnel which conducted him to an Ancient gate, the existence of which had not been before suspected. A windlass had been fitted up over a well 18 feet deep, and men were digging out papfuls of earth which were being diligeiitlj- liauled up. For two weeks the work at this point had been going on, and within the last week it had been discovered ftiat this was an old Roman tubwell: The wood seemed somewhat rotten, as might be expected after 1,600 years, so that the raising of the tub caused the greatest anxiety. The tub had been ingeniously fitted by Mr. Davis with two wooden shelves running al round it one at the top and the other at the bottom, both of which served to protect it from any strain dur ing the preparation for hoisting it, and also relieved the tub of its own weigtit during the process of hoisting. After one unsuccessful attempt to bring it up, during which a small portion of it was knocked off, it was triumphantly raised to light in a . comparatively perfect state of preservation. ' We eiqieet that the tub will shortly be on view at the Heading- museum, where there is al ready a beautiful collection of Silches ter relies. RED TURTLES. They fJve d(1 Breed In -a Spring Whose Temperature Is 386 Degrees. That portion of southern or lower California called Hell's Half-Acre ap pears to be situated directly over a substratum - of fire, .which causes the mud and water to boil as if in a caldron, says the St. Louis Kepublie. At one place on the Half-Acre there are. over 100 boiling springs and hot mud geysers on a plat of ground that is not of great er extent than a common city square. The chief spring in this queer aggre gation of boiling and spouting jets of mud and water is called the fountain of the Boiled Turtles on account of its curious habit' of occasionally ejecting numbers of small red -turtles. The temperature of this spring is 226 de grees, 14 degrees higher than the tem perature required to boil water un der ordinary atmospheric roressure. Notwithstanding the fact that the tem perature is sufficient to boil meat per fectly -within a" few. minutes, the small red turtles spoken of live and breed there just as the ordinary variety does in waters of common lakes, rivers aild other streams. The spring is called the fountain of Boiled Turtles because the qtieer, hard-shelled creatures of being cooked perfectly done. SURE CURE FOR SHIPWRECK. What a Sunday School Pupil Would Do to Calm the Ocean. A certain young woman on the Xorth side, teaches a class in a mission Sunday school. She had a difficult task, says the Chicago Times-Herald, imparting scraps of religious instruction to her young charges, and often amusing an swers are unconsciously returned to questions which she asks. On onS oc casion she asked her pupils: V "What do the high priests do?" ' And received the reply: . "They burned insects before the peo ple," by which the youngster, of course, meant incense. But one of the funniest experiences, which well shows the queer ideas which the children receive in their lessons, was given when, after a discussion of shipwreck which followed a lesson three or four weeks previously on the well-known story of JOnah and the whale, ishe happened to ask: "Suppose a big storm arose at sea and it looked as though you were going to be drowned, what would you do?" "I would throw a man overboard for a whale to swallow," was the reply. v. An Indian's TU ket-of -Leave. When Young Chief, a prominent member of the L'taniatilla tribe, in Oregon, goes away for his annual vaca tion, he is granted the freedom of the state'by the following notice to whom it may concern: "Young Chief has per mission to visit Wallows and surround ing country, with various other In dians, to be away 60 days. He is a good, law-abiding man, and very friendly to ward whites. Jf any of his crowd are boisterous or violate any law, if report ed to me, I will 'have the matter recti fied. Any favor shown him will be ap preciated. He respects thp whites agjd asks that they respsct him." ; VV'- MYSTERY. Arizona Resident Pnzzled by Strange Mountain l ormatlou. For the last half century the Aiuerv can residents of Tucson. - A: T. ; have been trying to solve the mystery oZ what appears to be. a hole through -i mountain peak in sight of the town. In the clear- air it looks to be only n short distance awaj-, when in reality it is at least 40 miles, '":.. By the aid of a good marine telescope the mountain can be brought to within a few miles, but not near enough to tell the exact nature' of the rock forma tion. A first peep through the glass would lead one to believe that there was no mystery about it. The hole appears as plain as possible, but several days study of the spot will develop the fact that the hole noes not' always look the saine. - Many days when the sky is dark be hind the mo intaii) tb r hole will appear a brilliant White, a snowdrift, and on days when the slcy is blue it will often look so din '.; as to bo almost invisible. These fact have I d many to think that it is an immerij piece o mica ly ing with its polished surface toward the sky and reflecting the cloud forma tions of another part of the horizon, instead of being the light seen througl. a hole. Viewed with the naked eye, the hols simply appears- as a whit ' spot, but the telescope reveals pine trees and other details, although very indis tinctly. The range of mountains in which the strange peak can be seen is known as the Catalinas, and numerous parties have liiad-." the attempt"o climb it, but all have failed on account of the steer; and rugpd precipices in the vicinitj-. POLITICO-HISTORICAL. A Carton Incident in German Inter- state Relations. A "Kleinetaaterei" has been abol ished in Germany, says th' Westminster Gazette. , The little, village bf Kurnbach, which, has hitherto belot.ged partly to the graud duchy of Hesse and partly to the grand duchy of Baden, was recently by treaty between the two powers, sol emnly and forever incoi porated into the grand ducal state ot Baden. The oddest thing about the joint jurisdic tion under which the Kurnbachers have hitherto lived was that the houses were not allotted to Hesse or to Baden bv their position inside or outside any frontier line betwixt the two states, but by the date of their erection. Houses built at one period belonged to one "nationality," houses built, at. a 1 1 -".rher period belonged to the other. One,, policenu.n was found suiheient to keep order for both states, and his uniform was, .consequently, particolored, his green coat t-howing that he was the officer of Baden, and its blue facings ;md trimmings bearing witness that ho officially represented t ho - majesty of Hesse. Now that the 1'up has been stripped off. and nothing but the Baden green remains, a Hessiiin newspaper suggests that his old coat should bo presented to the German museum as a j politico-historical relic. .

' People. v - There areat present about 200 rangers in Texas. They are separated into com panies and are' kept on the borders for the most part, says the St. Louis Globe Democrat. . They live in the open air the year round. Nearly every night in' the yea-J rain or shine, they have only the sky for a roof and the bare ground, for a bed". Their pillows are their sad dles. They are made upof the flower of Texas manhood. A wild, yelling, curs ing cowboy is looked upon VMth con tempt by them. They depend upon tjieir six-shooters and carbines, their 'coolness and marksmanship, the known eourage of their comrades. The gov ernor of Texas is the chief, officer of the rangers. What he wiys is law to them. The sheriff, the poltce, the militia, must not stand in their way if the rangers have orders from the gov ernor. -The rangers hold individually as much power as any sheriff in Texas. They hold more. They are not bounded by county lines. ' ' . " h .Whenever a sheriff is unable to cope with lawlessness he calls on the gov ernor and the rangers are sent to take charge. The section which the rangers police is larger in area than all of New England, and it is of such a character jhat were it not' for their work it would be given, over to lawlessness and dis order. They are paid $40 a month and their rations and arms and ammunition are furnished by the state. They pro vide their own horses, the state paying for them if they are killed. They will take the saddle at a moment's notice, to go on a scout of a month's duration! They have no tinifoim. They have no military discipline, as discipline is gen erally understood, but they obey their officers and will go with them to cer tain death without a murmur. Florida Truck Farmers. There are indications of cooperation among the truck farmers ot Florida. As a means of encouraging t ruc-k grow ing along their lines in that stat-j the Plant system has called a meeting to consult those who wish to cultivate vegetables, to the end that the people and the railroads may mutually benefit, each .other in producing and marketing vegetable crops. The proposition is aiade by the Plant system that the grow ers shall meet and form themselves into an association in order that they may be. effectually benefited, and it offers to furnish the best sedtliat '-nn be se cured of various crops that can be grown sueeessfully in that section at cost, without any-chnrges for transpor tation.
