world. It extends from 67 degrees west longitude to 169 degrees east lon gitude. The sun is shining in the Aleu- tian islands, Alaska, while it is dead of night on Martha's Vineyard. Alaska has between S00,000 and 9OO,0OO square miles of land surface. which is about ten times as large as the island of Great Britain, and an immense water area. It is nearly as large as the United States east of the Mississippi river. It is re- lated that Governor Swineford took a journey last summer of more than ten thousand statute miles without leaving his domain as governor, going on the United States steamship Thetis which had been placed at his disposal by Se- cretary Whitney. The journey occu- pied four months, and must have given Governor Swineford new idea of the great land over which he had the honor of presiding.
 And yet with all our great expanse of territory, with all our wonderful wealth of resources, the United States is only yet in the morning of its power and glory as a nation. There is nothing in ancient or modern history to equal the destiny that awaits the great American republic.

This is within four of reaching his best previous record, and it is pretty certain that this will be broken before many weeks. Johns fine Sicilian hand seems to improve with practice, and it is not at all improbable that with the able as. sistance of Lieutenants Clarkson and Bell he may soon show record ahead of anything that has ever been seen in the civil service of the United States.

When the American eagle spreads his wings, flaps his tail and makes bee line around the country that floats the stars and stripes he takes a pretty big job in hand. Uncle Sam isn't given much to boasting of his extensive possessions, nor does he waste much breath in pro- claiming to the world that the sun never sets on his domain. This kind of boasting he very sensibly leaves to the British who never tire of clustering that it is never dark at once ill all the queens domains. Nevertheless, it is a fact that the United States is a pretty big country and that with exact truth the British boast might be applied to 1t.
