New York Journal: One of the most remarkable trips in the history of Alaskan travel has just been finished by Shubert Nichols, a blind man, who walked all the way from the middle fork of the Koyokuk river, north of the Yukon, 1,605 miles to the coast, crossing five ranges of mountains. He has arrived at Seattle after an absence of several years. He has been mining along the Yukon river and its tributaries, and the glare of the sun upon the fields of ice and snow during last spring came nearly ending his eyesight. Bach day of the past summer found him hoping for the return of his sight, and as late as the first snow in the fall he was still hop- ing to “see his way” again. The win- ter came on, and his eyes becoming no better he determined to cross the five ranges of mountain to the Yukon from his home on the middle fork of the Koyokuk river, tramp it out to Skag- way, and to reach Seattle for treat- ment. The story of the trip was given by Mr. Nichols as follows: “My com- panion, W. T. Phillips, and I, con- cluded to secure all the mail-we could and carry it out at $1 per letter, to as- sist in expense money. We had good placer ground, but little ready cash. We secured sixty-five pay letters and about as many more ‘thanks’ letters. We left the North American Trans- portation and Trading headquarters on the Koyokuk river at Peavy trading post, some 800 miles up the Koyokuk river, and struck up the south fork of the Koyokuk to Jim river; then up the latter for 60 miles, when we struck across country, going right up over the south extension of the Davidson range of mountains and down agan to Fish Creek valley; then across this level valley to Bonanza creek and up Bonanza to its headwaters, when we struck across Old Man Mountains, an- other level valley, then Old Woman Mountains to Old Woman’s_ valley; then on to the valley of the Old Man to Old Man creek. Continuing our journey, we came over the Yukon range and struck the Yukon river about 200 miles below the Porcupine river, We then came up the Yukon to Dawson. While on the Yukon a wolf took one of our dogs away from the sled at night. At Dawson I lost one of my dogs, and this left us with but four dogs, that had then traveled over 1,000 miles. Mr. Phillips sold his two dogs and ran ahead of the North American Transportation and Trad- ing Company’s mai] team out, and I helped along. We came from Dawson in 19 days’ running time to Skagway. The trip, although it covers nearly 100 days of travel through the snow and over the ice, was void of accident or great inconvenience. There is nothing remarkable about making the trip. We were laid up three weeks, all told, by wind and water and resting the dogs. Our total walk was 1,605 miles. The coldest day was 59 degrees below zero. We had three weeks of an average of 48 below, day and night.” QUEER HONEYMOONS. Spent by Persons Who Wished to Be Un- conventional. From the Cincinnati Enquirer: A few years ago a newly wedded couple living ten miles southwest of Brook- ville, Ky., took as a honeymoon trip a wagon ride to witness the hanging of Robert McLaughlin, which occurred at Brookville. A short while since an adventurous couple spent their first days of wedding life on the summit of Mount Blanc. The ascent, extremely hazardous by reason of terrific snow- storms, being successfully accomplish- ed, and the summit reached, the bride- groom, in the presence of the guides, embraced his young wife, to waom he swore eternal fidelity, and received from her lips an equally fervent assur- ance. Then the descent was com- menced, and the couple after three days’ absence, arrived at Chamounix, where they were accorded an enthu- siastic reception, There are on rec- ord four honeymoons known to have been spent in Mammoth Cave, Ken- tucky. In the neighborhood of Dobs- chau, a small Hungarian town, there is an extraordinary ice cave. The roofs, the walls, the floor are thickly covered with ice, which in places as- sumes most fantastic shapes. In this cave, some sixteen years ago, a couple named Kolesey elected to pass the week immediately following their mar- riage. They took with them a plen- tiful supply of rugs,blankets and warm clothing, but notwithstanding all pr cautions their experience was not of a sufficiently pleasant nature to tempt imitators.

Ball Bearings Did It i Bicycles. weré invented centuries ! ago, but it required the magic touch of { the Nineteenth century inventor to make the “wheel” a most useful ve- hicle, instead of a mere toy. Ball bearings did it. It was a case | where the improvement has proved greater than the original invention. The principle that reduces friction to a minimum in a bicycle is applicable to all machinery, and the cost is the only ; obstacle in the way of what vill be | known in history as the “Light Draft in mechanics. Millions of dol- lars have been spent in this direction. The Deering Harvester Company, of Chicago, solved the problem, as far as grain binders and mowers are con- cerned, by equipping their machines with roller and ball bearings in 1891. Other manufacturers in this line have since followed with several kinds of experimental roller bearings, but the Deering machines are still alone in the field with ball bearings of ihe bi- cycle pattern. The Deering Company’s annual cata- logue for 1899 contains some very in- teresting historical matter on this sub- ject, fully illustrated. The book also describes the largest factory in Amer- ica and gives the latest news on the subject or harvesting machinery, Send for one; it’s free.
