ARCTIC BIRDS.
MANY VARIETIES OF AQUATIC
! AND LAND BREEDERS.
;Peculiarities of the Summer Visitors
Weird and Strange Cries of
the Loon Family - One
of Natures Freaks.

There is probably no richer field in the
world for the ornithologist than the Arc
tic Ocean shores of Northwestern Alaska.
During the months of May, June and un.
til the latter part of August nearly every
variety of aquatic bird travels over the
country. On the north bank of the Yu.
kon to the ocean every pond and lake,
slough and swamp is fairly alive with
members of the feathered family. Cape
Lisburne cliffs, rearing their rocky ac-
lvities from 300 to 600 feet above the
sea, ore a wonderful sight in the early
summer. Myriads of gulls of every
species, auks, terms and old squaw ducks
have their nests planted upon every little
rock platform on the face of these cliffs
where space is obtainable. Thus planted
the nests and their contents ale entirely
secure from any spoliation by either man
or fox. Before the ice leaves the shore
line or even breaks up in the month of
May the adult birds begin to arrive, and
soon the pairing and nesting commence.
The young are born early in June and
make their first flights toward the end of
July. Scores of the ivory burgomaster
and other types of gull are to be seen fly
ing far over the leads in the ice, grace
fully psising in midair over the patches
of water and swoopipg down in order to
catch the young tomcods and other small
fish fry that arrive in these waters at this
period.

But by ia: the most interesting bird
seen in the Arctic is the loon. In its
habits and general characteristics the bird
stands unrivalled. Now q loon may
aptly be termed lusus nature, for it has
the feathers of q bird and the fur of an
animal. The fur is on the neck and
breast and under the belly. 1t is soft
and rich, dark blue black and is as fine
as seal fur. The feathers are metallic
black and lustrous-hued, soft and fleecy
but extremely hard to detach from the
skin, while they are as springy as rubber.
Around the birds throat is ring of cx-
quisitely green tinted feathers, the king
loon having green and white bands al
ternate.
But the looms are gifted with strange
voices, curious notes and harsh, discord-
ant cries. At one time the notes will
sound like chorus of bu!lfrogs, again
soft cooling like dove, while suddenly
they change into the most discordant and
demoniacal yells and walls that ever were
uttered by bird or beast. They possess
ventriloquial powers, for as one wanders
along the margin of lake or pool, amid
the ice, the loon may be within n yard
distance, and still the cries appear as if
they were coming mile away. You see
one on the smooth surface of q pool,
floating along over the smooth water,
when suddenly the stiffness is broken
by series of wild, discordant noises,
interspersed with exultant peals of
laughter and chukles that seem to eman-
ate from some human being. Looms
are difficult birds to shoot. At the
flash of the gun down they dive so
quickly that you sometimes do not be-
lieve you have seen one. In their sub
marine locomotion the looms use their
strong legs and feet in addition to their
wings. 1t can travel very fast under
water, and will rise to the surface nearly
a quarter of a mile from the point of dis
appearance. When it wishes to leave a
lake or pool, it runs rapidly on the
water, its long neck and head extended
as in flying, its wings tapping up and
down with great velocity. The dip
gradually decreases as the birds ascent
increases, and as it rises gracefully up
ward all that remains as evidence of its
having been on the pool are two ruffled
lines on the water. Rising gracefully it
swiftly disappears from gun range.
Looms are very curious, and may be shot
by allowing red rag or something
bright to drift or float on the water,
when they soon, with circling move
ments, swim toward the strange object
and get within range. Along the narrow
leads in the spring time looms are easily
shot by the natives, as they do not dive

"WHAT AN ASS AIM II"

The ass thought himself Us fine look
ing as his neighbor, the horse, until he,
one day, saw himself in the looking
glass, when he said "What an ass am II"
Are there not scores of people who
cannot see themselves as others see
them? They have bad blood, pim-
piles, blotches, eruptions, and other kin
,dred disfgurements. All these annoy
ing things could be entirely eradicated,
and the skin restored to "lily white
mess" if that world-famed remedy, DR..
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
were given a fair trial.
1t cures all humors, from the ordi-
mary blotch, pimple or eruption to the
worst scrofula, or the most inveterate
blood-taints, no matter what their na-
ture, or whether they be inherited or
acquired. The "Golden Medical Dis
covery" is the only blood purifier
Iquardnteed to do just what it is rec
commended to, or money refunded.

A "Punkin-Head." :"

New Haven, Conn.,, is celebrated for
having given the name of "Punkin-
Head" to all New Englanders. It
originated from the Blue Laws, which
enjoined every male to have his hair cut
round by cap. When caps were not
to be had they substituted the hard
shell Of the "punkin, which, being put
on the head every Saturday, all hair
which protruded was clipped close to
the shells edge. Peters, in his "History
of Connecticut, says: "What religious
virtue was supposed to be derived from
the custom, l know not; but there is
much prudence in it; first, it prevents
the hair from s1arling; secondly, it saves
the use of combs; and, thirdly, it cam
not incommodc the eyes by falling over
them; and, fourthly. such persons rs
have lost their ears for heresy and other
wickcdness cannot conceal their mis-
fortune and disgrace. "--.St. Louis Re-
puJlic,

A Stream Of Words.

Everybody knows in general way
how much more talk than work is done
in the world, but few people realize the
fact until it is reduced to figures. A
speaker of average rapidity will use
about 100 words a minute, and in con-
versation the rate is about the same.
Now suppose the average talker talks
four hours day, he will repeat "a, 600
words each day, equal to twelve col.
umns of the GLOBE, or to forty-eight
pages of book of ordinary size. In a
year he will have uttered words that will
fill II, $40 pages, or thirty-fve volumes
of 500 pages each, and in thirty years
1850 volumes will be filled with the
nothings that ere said from moment to
moment. This calculation is for man ;
for a woman, of course, the figures
would be at least doubled Globe.

The air is alive with birds. their harsh
cries and notes, although discordant,
providing welcome sounds after the
monotonous silence that has reigned dur
ing the winter months. At Point Barrow,
when the open lanes of water appear
through the ice-bound sea, the first indi-
cation of the approach of spring is the
arrival of elder ducks in rapid succession.
The spectacled male elder, with its SOM
bre brown colored mate, Stellar's elder
and all the varieties of the elder family
sweep along the edge Of the ice pack in
myriads. Far away to the north and
east OF the point the birds take their
fight to lands yet unknown and undis-
covered.
Cormorants, the auks terms, divers and
looms do not breed north of the limit of
seveuty-one degrees latitude. Their
nests lie in the swamp lands and among
the lakes of the great north land. Geese
of every variety-brown, black brant,
Canada and common honker-are found
all over the Territory in the spring and
