P.VEl'MATIC PIG IKON*
ltEEAKER DISPLACES MEN
An air driven linmnier for break
ing pis iron and castings around
blast furnaces, mijls, and foundries,
lias been introduced in the South
east. One blast furnace follows the
method of arranging the rows of
iron pigs on a solid base, where they
are broken apart by the hammer,
after which they fall into railroad
cars, completing all the operations
ii! pig iron production from the sand
bed to the railroad cars. The pneu
matic hammer is hung on the hook
of an electric traveling crane and
poised to strike tho* piece. Air is
fed to the piston chamber of the
machine through a valve that is
operated by moving; a lever up and
down. When the pressure is ap
plied. the piston drives the hammer
down at a terrific rate, and ono of
these n achines has been known to
break a piece S inches thick. An
automatic stroke check is provided
to prevent damage in case the ma
chine fails to connect with the piece.

sharks have rough skins. This
roughness u produced by what is

projections whi.'i eitend outward
from the surface of the skin.
Photographs from the Bureau of j
Standards show this in two magni
fied views of a shark's skin.
Shark's skins in the past have j

ing in an acid solution, which does
not affect the remaining portion of
the skin. It cannot be removed me

Bank Robbed
A wire from Anchorage came yes
ii afternoon informing the pres
ident of the Bunk <>i" Alaska, that
ihe local branch hunk at Anchorage,
was entered yesterday noon by mask
ed robbers and robbed.
The robbery took place at noon
hour when the lady teller with but
one customer was in the bank. The
rubbers forced the customer and the
teller Into tTie vault at ihe point of
revolvers and cleaned up the money
that was in the cashier's desk. The
manager oC the bank was out to
lunch at the time. The amount of the
money stolen is not Riven as the
books had not been balanced at the
time the wire was received. It is
estimated to be under one thousand
dollars.
Ti.e bank will lose nothing as the
burglary policy carried by the bank
covers both daylight and night rob
bery.

Chicago, May 11.—The great mar
ble home of tlio Field Museum ot
Natural History which has cost $0,
750,000 was opened here this week.
The structure forms one of the
most impressive features of Chicago's
downtown lake front.
It has made the museum, which
contests for American supremacy
with the American Museum of Nat
ural History in New Yory and
stands among the four leading scien
tific institutions of the world, read
ily accessible to the city public.
Hitherto the Field MuBeum has
been located in Jackson Park in the
old Fine Arts Building ot (he Chi
cago World's Fair, which gave the
museum birth. The new building fol
lows the plan ot the old.
It has taken seven months to move
the collection from the southsido
lo downtown. Spur railroad lines
are established from the two- build
ings to a railroad line and in ad
<lit ion motor cars were used. A
year was assigned for the task and
its completion in five months lass
is regarded by the museum staff as
a remarkable achievement. The job
made the longest "moving day" the
West has yet seen.
There is nothing comparable to
the museum's display of the world's
animals grouped in their natural
habitat, accoording to museum offi
cials. while also in botany no other
institution is in the same class, lis
collections of meteorites and of
Chinese archeology are held lo he
without parallel.
The museum was planned toward
the close of 1S9.1 to commemorate
the World's Fair of the year. Mar
shall Field, a Chicago merchant, in
sured the success of the project
with a subscription of $1,000,000
and the museum took its name frwn
chief donor. Mr. Field gave subse
quent financial support during his
lifetime and in his will left ?4,000,
000 for a building fund and $4,000.
000 for endowment. The collection
had its nucleus in a great many of
the fair sex.
IV THE WAY OF A SLIDE
John Zamowski, one of the While
Pass employes was brought in yes
terday afternoon and taken to the
hospital. While working up the line
on an ice slide, which was being pit k
ed out so it would not come down
when the train was passing. Zarow
ski loosened a part of the ice and
snow, and as it slid down lie ' 11 in
juries. Histoedoutetaonitaoin tatee
the way of it and suffered severe in
juries. His collar hone was broken
and his shoulder dislocated and con
tussions about the head and face.
He considers himself fortunate in
escaping with his life. Dr. Runnals
and the nurses attended to his needs
and he is now resting comfortably,
and it is hoped in two or three weeks
he will be out again.
Former Mayor E. J. Shaw, of
Skagwav pioneer of that place and
agent there for the Alaska Steam
ship Company, is seriously ill. Rob
ert J. Cragg, of the Alaska Steam
ship's office at Juneau, will leave
for Skagwav on the Estebeth to

his recovery.—Empire.
