WHAT Is IN ITs

Alaska has been owned by this country
for long time, but comparatively little is
known about the country 1t is about as
large as Texas, California and Nevada put
together, Its coast line, including that of
its principle islands, is probably not less
States. Its extreme western point is as
far west from San Francisco as that city is
from Boston. 1t has great navigable rivers,
one of which, the Yukon, is surpassed in
length and in the volume of its waters by
not more than two, rivers of the United
States, probably by only one. Is is known
to have workable mines of coal, gold, sill
yer and copper. 1t has forests of valua-
BILE timber, lands on which certain crops
may be grown abundantly and others
which may be valuable for grazing. 1t
yields also furs of various kinds. The
country is sparsely inhabited by Esqui-
maux and Indians, not many of whom
penetrate far into the interior.
1t is thought by some in authority, and
good many out of authority, that the
time has come for the government to find
out what this vast territory is worth, what
are it's resources, mineral, agricultural and
commercial, of getting definite knowledge
of its climate, its geological structure, its
river systems, its soils, its fauna and flora
and other facts of scientific interest and Of
practical value to enterprising citizens who
may be disposed, if favorable opportuni
ties exist, to employ their labor OF capita
there. Profitable returns have been de
rived from Investments in fisheries, miner
| and trade, but in general Alaskan enter
prises have been of a speculative sort, ani
disappointment has been the result of
large number. 1t is obviously desirable, i
it is not the plain duty of the government
to give to the country such authentic in
formation as will enable its citizens t,
form reasonable Judgment of the induce
ments to enterprise in Alaska.

LIFE ON A WATER FARM.
There Il Profit In Raising Fish and
Frogs for Market.

lffuin the Indianapolis News
1t has not been many years since water
farming was added to the possibilities of
agriculture in Indiana. 1t began as a
diversion 1t Is now a business. Enough
time has now elapsed to demonstEte that
water farming may be made practicable
and prOfitable-at least as profitable as
some other rural occupation, and more en-
ticing than the ordinary life Of an Agricul-
turist. As much money can be made of
an acre of water a. Of an acre of land, iE-
cluding well located fish and frog ponds
ON the one hand and ordinary farming.
One of the pioneers in water farming in
Indiana is Mr. Joseph Manlove of Milton.
Seven years ago he bought piece of low
land living between the White Water canal
and the White Water (riverl. He deter
mined to food the lowland and to add to
his possession the adjoining nigh land for
park purposes. His place now includes
fourteen acres of water and twenty-one of
land His first purpose was to establish a
carp pond, from which the fish market
might be supplied. This was accomplish
ed in two years with comparative ease.
Now he has practically an unlimited guam
tity of this variety of fish. However, the
public taste also calls for bass, and Man
love determined to add this variety to his
supply. His lake is now stocked with a
large stock of black bass. They have
grown finely, and next year bass fishing
will be put on the market" Bass prom
ised so much better than carp as food for
his bass.
Still another department has been add
ed to the .sfarm" this sesson-frcgs. Four
acres of shallow water, well grown in flags,
were set apart as breeding place for frogs.
They breed and grow rapidly. -Four thous-
and tadpoles were put IN this breeding pen
early in the spring. Many of them are now
OF a marketable size. Next season they
viii be giants-big ten-inch long .'cultiva-
ted" bullfrogs, worth 30 and s. dozen;
not the little marsh frog, but the big fel-
lows with the Herr Fisher voices. In catch
ing them for market a light at night is
used. They stare at the light, and can be
caught and handled with ease in its glare.
In catching large quantities of carp the
lake is drained off. In winter the market
able fish are kept in small ponds.
1t is interesting to see the water farmer
at his work. He can use horse for side
purposes, but he needs neither plough,
planter or reaper. Suppose he has gone
out to feed. He has with him middlings
or some other grain. He goes to the breed
ing pond sounds gong or blows a whistle,
and thousands of frogs come hopping from
their shelter. They eat the food ravenous-
ly, and become so tame that the farmer
handles them as a woman does her pet
chickens. The same food is Just the thing
for young and old carp. Fish and frogs
take to grain products" said Mr..
Manlove, like boy takes to apple
dumpling. Part of the season it is not
necessary TO feed my stock at all The
water grass seeds make the finest of food
for the fish. and at this time of the year
l rarely prepare a fish that l do not find
him filed with grass seeds

HUMAN NATURE IN CHICAGO.
This is a mad world, my masters, and
occasionally something happens in it which
indicates that it is as bad as it is mad. One
of the latest outcroppings of this nature
was in wicked Chicago the other day.
Early in the evening carriage containing
four persons, equally divided as to sex and
all in evening dress, was driving over Mad
ison street bridge. A suicide at the same
moment leaped from the rail into the
water. Affrighted and demoralized,
neither police nor civilians made an effort
to rescue him. One of the men alighted
hurriedly from the carriage, crying out,
''Why don't you officers save that fellowg'
And taunting voice retorted, "Save him
yourself!' Instantly off went the swallow
tail and the low-cut waistcoat, willingly
accepted by an on-looker, who also took the
shining tile in trust. The man was about
to plunge into the filthy stream
when the dead body of the suicide was
hauled up. Then came one of the
most astonishing exhibition of human ma
ture that even Chicago has ever seen. The
'sswell" who would have risked his life
| and ruined forever his best linen and finest
| trousers was not cheered. He turned
| quietly to get his clothes. He was going
| to wedding; the hour was set; they had
been delayed; haste was indispensable.
He looked hither and yon for his swallow
tail. He gazed keenly into the shifting
throng for his polished tile. He called
aloud for his low-cut waistcoat. All gone
The eager onlooker who had so Willingly
accepted the trust of the evening garments
had feioniously fled. Not a sound oi
scorn from the crowd who now appreci
ated brave mans unearned and sorr,
plight. Not a cheer for his daring, not
word of sympathy for his mishap.
These are the things that encourage

Lightning Puts an Angel on Mr. Tay-
Iorss Portrait.

from the Atlanta Constitution
a portrait of the late John Taylor, which
]. r. Smith has ON exhibition in his store,
attracts many visitors daily, and has caus-
ed great deal of discussion. Theportrait
formerly rested on the rnantlepieee at Mr..
Smiths residence atMount Olive. Monday,
during heavy storm, lightning fash
struck it. The frame was demolished, but
the fash left on the portrait a clearly-de-
fined picture of an angel with outstretched
wings overshadowing Mr.. Taylor's head,
the arms encircling his neck, and the right
hand holding bupch of flowers. The
pose of the angel suggests protection and
benediction. The dark line showing the
lightning's journey along the cardboard
turns abruptly just above the face of Mr..
Taylor, giving the spectator the idea that
the angel changed the lightnings course.
Superstitious people consider it as an in
dication that Mr.. Taylor is in heaven, but
Mr.. Smith explains the phenomenon by say
ing that the picture of an angel, exactly like
that which appears on the Taylor portrait,
was ON the back of photograph near by.
| He believes that by some electrical freak
the picture of1he angel was photograph
ed over the portrait. Tie affair, however,
has caused great deal of comment. and
people for miles around come to see the
picture

The Censu. of Cheese.


Cheese alive. OF course. Didn't you
know that before. Cheese is about as
lively as vinegar, and everybody knows
that vinegar is full of micrcscOpical snakes.
And you know that yeast is full of cells,
so small that it takes microscope to see
them, and that the excellent drinking wa
ter that We get from Lake Erie is full of
the liveliest kind OF little wrigglers that
you gulp down by the thousands without
ever suspecting that Won are drinking any
thing but the purest liquids But return
to the cheese. Somebody has been taking
the census of piece of cheese, and gives
US the result in round numbers He finds
the population of Emmenthal, "a sort of
Gruyere, tO be Ss follows: In each gramme
of the cheese. When fresh. from $1,000 to
10000 microbes are found. This num-
Der increases with time. 4 cheese seventy
one days old contains 500, 900 bacteria per
gramme. \ soft cheese twenty-five DAYS
old and much denser than the proceeding
has 200, 600 and a cheese forfy-five days
old 2,00, 900 microbes per granme. The
center Is freer than the outside. A cheese
near the periphery has from 5000, 900 to
$4,000 microbes. According to the
means of these two figures there are as
many living organisms in 36G grammes of
such n cheese as there are people upon the
earth. However. don't let these figures
disturb You. Keep right ON eating Just as
You always have.

THE BIG TROMBONE.

You have seen him in the orchestra,
With aged, thoughtful face,
Where care and time have both combined
Their burrows deep to trace;
His eyes oft wear far-off look,
As if he were alone,
When he plays the part that's written
For the big trombone.
1t isn't much-e note or two
The harmonies to fill;
1t doesn't take remarkable
Intelligence or skill:
With feelingless precision,
Since to habit II has grown,
He plays the part that's written
For the big trombone.
And yet the face Is delicate,
The forehead broad and high;
No doubt replete with promise
Was the youth of years gone by;
Ger a lot of faded manuscript
He looks when he's alone,
Ere he plays the part that's written
For the big trombone.
