IN COLDEST ALASKA
PHENOMENA RESULTING FROM
LOW TEMPERATURE.
Vegetables, Fruit, Eggs, Etc., Al
lowed to Freeze Hard as Bul
lets and Thawed When
Used.
Strange manifestations appear (in
Alaska) as a result of the extreme
cold, one is the way a fire burns in the
stove. It roars and crackles like a
great forge, and wood in the stove
seems to dissolve in the flames like a
chunk of ice; the wood is gone and we
wonder where the heat went. At 60
degrees below, every stovepipe throws
out a great white cloud of smoke and
vapor, resembling a steamboat in its
whiteness, and this cloud streams
away for 50 to 100 feet, writes Chester
W. Tennant, in Popular Mechanics.
Prospectors, in attempting to boil a
dish of rice or beans upon a campfire
unprotected from the weather, find
that the side of the dish which is in
the fire will boil while the part of the
dish exposed to the weather has
frozen. To remedy this, the dish is
set completely into the fire.
Edged tools subjected to this tem
perature become as hard and brittle
as glass and will break as readily un
der strain. I have seen a pop safety
valve blowing off steam when weather
was below 60 degrees, with icicles
which had formed by the condensa
tion while it was blowing off hanging
from the outer rim of the valve.
All vegetables, potatoes, apples,
fruit, eggs, etc., can be allowed to
freeze until they become like bullets.
To make ready for use, place them in
cold water half a day before using,
and the frost will slowly withdraw
without injury to the article.
(Exposed parts of the body would
freeze in this temperature while going
the distance of one block. Mr. Ten
nant tells of remarkable results ob
tained by thawing out frozen feet,
hands or ears in coal oil. The mem
bers are immersed in the oil, some
times for four or five hours, and they
thaw without leaving any injurious
results. The hint from the north bay
may be well worth remembering to
those exposed to the severer turns of
temperature in our own winters. Of
the kerosene treatment Mr. Tennant
says: )
This is absolutely a safe remedy,
and one thus escapes the surgeon's
knife, as no bad results follow. This
is not hearsay, as a man was saved a
few years ago at our office by the night
watchman who found him in the snow
(four degrees below zero) and both
hands frozen to the wrists. He was
taken into the office and treated as
above for about five hours, when all
the frost was drawn out without so
much as losing a finger tip.
The physicians were amazed, as they
thought amputation would have to be
resorted to. His hands were as white
and hard as marble, and when placed
in the oil they snapped and crackled
as the oil began to act upon the ice
crystals.
This remedy should be sremembered
by all residents of cold climates, as it
would save many a limb. The temper
ature of the oil should be about the
same as that of the living room (about
60 degrees above zero.)
One has to be careful about touch
ing things with unprotected hands. It,
is dangerous to take hold of a door
knob when it is 60 degrees below zero
or thereabouts, with the uncovered
hand, unless you are careful instantly
to release your hold, for if you do it
will freeze your inner palm in five
seconds, be very painful thereafter,
and the result is the same as from
touching a redhot stove.
Coal oil begins to thicken at 40 de
grees below, and at 60 and 70 degrees
below becomes as thick as lard, or but
a very little darker, and can be cut
out of the can with a knife the same
as you would cut lard or butter., A
lighted lamp or lantern left exposed in
this temperature will freeze up and go
out in 80 minutes. I have not seen
gasoline become stiff yet from any of
the low temperatures that we have experienced.
Exports from Gulf Ports.
The growing importance of the
gulf ports for the shipment of western
produce is gathered from a statement
recently issued by the department of
commerce. For the 10 months ending
with April Galveston, New Orleans
and Mobile exported $30,000,000 worth
of breadstuffs, against 33,000,000
worth for all the Chesapeake ports,
including Baltimore, and $37,000,000
worth for' New York. New York's
lead is, readily accounted for by the
advantage it has in the cheap water
route through the lakes and the Erie
canal, which also give her not a little
wheat from the Canadian fields. With
a deep waterway from Chicago to the
mouth of the Mississippi New Orleans,
which contributes $16,500,000 to the
above total of $30,000,000 for the three
gulf ports, would in all likelihood ex
cel New York in the shipments of
breadstuffs and other western produce.
Watch Speaks Time.
A Swiss watchmaker has invented a
watch which speaks the time from a
tiny phonograph. A very small hard
rubber plate has the vibrations of the
human voice imprinted on it, and is
actuated by clockwork, so that at a
given time the articulation is made,
indicating the hour. The utterance
is sufficiently strong to be heard 20
feet away. It is possible by means of
a device of this kind to combine senti
ment with utility, as the vibrations
can be made by any clear voice, and
a man's watch may tell him the time
in the tones of wife or children.
AMERICAN ARTISTS ABROAD
Their Merit Recognized and Reward
' ed Earlier Than It Is at
Home.
pnee more an American artist's pic
ture holds the place of honor at the
exhibition of the Royal Academy in
London. Sargent had attained that
honor; now it is Abbey's turn, with a
picture distinctly American in subject,
representing Columbus landing in the
wsw world. Several other well-known
American artists figure among the no
table exhibitors. In the two annual
picture shows now open in Paris, the
same fact is true, reports the New
York World.
American artists frequently complain,
as do singers and musicians, that the
surest way to distinction at home is
recognition abroad. The protest im
plies that merit is not so readily ac
cepted here as merit as it is in France
and England.
The distinction attained by Sargent
in London has done more than all his
early successors in this country to as
sure his preeminence. The same may
be said to be true of Abbey, although
fame came to him easy as an illustra
tor. Something may be due to the cir
cumstance that for years both have
done most of their work abroad. Bel
yond a doubt, however, art is viewed
far more hospitably in Paris and Lon
don than in New York. We have yet
no art exhibitions that occupy so large
a place In popular life as. the regular
shows of the two foreign capitals.
It is noteworthy also that more con
temporary American artists have room
in the Luxembourg museum, where liv
ing painters must await admission to
the Louvre, than in our own Metropol
itan. The Paris list counts about 25,
among them Whistler, Sargent, Win
slow Homer, La Farge, Alexander Har
rison, Henry Mosler, Walter MacEwen,
Gari Melchers, Miss Cassatt, Edwin L.
Weeks and H. O. Tanner. ,
Under the old management American
artists were treated with suspicion at
the Metropolitan. It was sometimes
difficult to get their works through the
museum's doors even as gifts. .
Fortunate, all that is being rapidly
changed. Sir Purdon Clarke advocates
the necessity of building up a repre
sentative American collection. Mr.
George A. Hearn has donated a large
fund, of which the income is reserved
for the purchase of American works.
It is a curious commentary on Ameri
can taste that it was not until a for
eign director was put in charge of the
Metropolitan that American artists
were promised something of the same
public recognition they receive from
the French government.
TURKEY WITH WOODEN LEG
Tale of a Gobbler That Smacks Some
what of the Munchausen
Flavor.
In most communities there are cer
tain persons who possess peculiar
characteristics, habits and beliefs, and
this is true of the 'long shore sports
man of the old Mother State as of per
sons dwelling elsewhere, says Forest
and Stream.
Many of the old time sportsmen still
carry and use their muzzle loading
guns, which cannpt be displaced by
more modern arms. They usually
manage to bag a good many birds and
other game, and this is chiefly due,
it is believed, to their knowledge of
the habits of the game. They seldom
go out without finding something.
A story is told of one gunner who
if any of the shot should fall from his
hands while loading his gun will at
once return home and make no further
effort to hunt that day, believing as
he says, that those lost were his luck
shot, and it would be useless for him
to continue the hunt.
Another, whom I will call here CapL
Pete, is a sailor and all round sports
man. He loves to tell of his adventures
with his dogs and gun, and is seldom
seen without them. He tells many
stories about the accuracy of Sweet
Lips, his gun, and declares he can
beat any man "a-shootin for a turkey
in the United States of Virginny."
On the occasion of a turkey hunt
near the Rappahannock river Capt.
Pete claims to have shot a 40-pound
,wild turkey, for which he was offered
$4 cash. The gray whiskers on tne
turkey's breast were 18 inches long,
and he had one wooden leg. Here
Capt. Pete gives a laugh that could be
heard a half mile away. "Sar, he was
the biggest turkey I ever saw. There
were 18 fellows in the bunch of us,
and four others besides, and all ate a
sumptuous meal from one-half of his
breast."
Uncle Pete says he cannot account
for that one wooden leg unless that
turkey had been previously owned by
some one as a pet wild turkey.
Natural Arm Chair.
A gardener in Korea has formed a
natural arm-chair by twisting a grow
ing vine to the required shape. It is
also studded with seeds of the gingko
tree, which have grown into the fiber
of the vine. After the chair was fash
ioned in this way it was cut from
the ground, dried and polished until
it resembled mahogany. It is 3
feet 4 inches high, 25 inches wide
and weighs over 100 pounds.
Banquet in a Coal Mine.
Lord Northcote, governor general of
Australia, was entertained to a ban
quet in a coal mine at Newcastle, New
South Wales. The banqueting hall
was 300 feet below the surface.
No Student of Shakespeare.
"What is your favorite play?" asked
the girl who quoted Shakespeare.
"Well," answered the youth with
long hair, "I believe I like to see a
man steal second as well as anything."
