Not one physician in . thousand has ever
succeeded in relieving q person suffering
from weak and wasting or consumpt1ve
kidneys, yet they continue to experiment,
and after the death of their patient ask
for their fee. The kidney is q delicate
organ, and yet good health in q large meas
ure depends upon its proper action. Let
the kidneys become sore or inactive, and
uric acid is eliminated from the effete mat
ter that passes too slowly out Of the sys-
rious pains in the back, side, shoulder, joints
and limbs. A feeling Of ennui comes over
the victim. The world seems dark and
gloomy. The nerves become shattered; sui
eide is contemplated, and ones condition is
most pitiable. DIR. Bulls Sarsaparina con-
ta;ns such herbal juices as weak Kidneys de-
mand. 1t has relieved and cured many cases
that doctors gave up as hopeless. 1t checks
decay and aids the kidneys in a performance
of tl;cir natural function. 81

TWO ALASKA PRODUCTS.


and Fierce Mosquitoes.
There is no more wonderful scenery
in the world" said Mr.. Marcus Baker, OF
the Geological Survey, ethan is to be
found along the coast Of Alaska as you
go up from Portland by steamer to Sitka
and beyond by the inside passage. Only
for small part of the way do you feel
the ocean swell at all, continuous
archipelago of islands forming . break
water for hundreds of miles against the
waves of the Pacific, while the vessel
sails along in water as smooth as mill
pond. Along the mainland mountains
thousands of feet high tower precipit-
ously up from the sea, covered with
dense timber, while here and there .
great ford reaches up toward the in
terror. The settlements so essential to
picturesqueness are unhappily lacking,
save now and then an Aleut village may
be seen.
upon reaching Sitka you find your
self in a much more equable climate
than that of Boston. its mean tempera-
ture being about the same, though it
is MANY degrees north of the latter point
Pursuing your way northward along the
coast you see now and then q glacier
reaching down to the sea- When you
reach the Yukon, if it is the proper
season, you will find countless myriads
of canvasback ducks disporting them
selves. That stream, together with other
waters thereabouts, is the great breed
ing ground, you know, for canvasbacks,
as we'll as for many other sorts of ducks
/ and geese and swans. All the canvass
backs that are shot on the Chesapeake
come from the Yukon and its neighbor-
hood. This fact has been established as
certainty by observation OF their
course being by way of the great lakes.
There are no snakes in Alaska, per-
haps because no snakes would live
there. The only frog ever discovered
by explorers there was found by my own
party some years ago. Probably, how
ever, there is no part Of the world where
mosquitoes are more dreadful than in
Alaska. The soil is of soft. spongy
character, that holds water for days at
ter a rain, and the insects are bred out
of it in such swarms that it is hardly
possible for man, or any other animal,
to exist among them. They attack the
moose with such ferocity as to drive the
beasts into the rivers, where the natives
attack them with knives. Bears and
reindeer are plentiful. Perhaps the
worst part of Alaska is that to the north
west, south of the Yukon river-croSsed
but once by party OF explorers, who
nearly starved to death. '-Washington

DIR. Nansen, the Arctic explorer, in
q lecture before the Geografiske Sells
kap at Christiania. explaining his plans
for north pole expedition, advocated
the employment of a ship built with a
special view to strength, and having its
sides constructed at such an angle that
instead of being crushed by the ice the
vessel will be raised by it. The route
proposed by DIR. Nansen is through the
Behring straits, where advantage is to
be taken OF the favorite current to carry
the vessel northward and thus attempt
to reach the New Siberian islands as
soon as possible. Here the vessel
would enter the ice foes and would pro-
coed toward the north pole, in which di-
rection the cureent would probably
