were made on some guinea pigs which
were inoculated in the anterior chamber
of the eye with samples of milk, but after
eight weeks no tubercli bacili were dis

them until they have had n complete rest.
The Alaskan Eskimo seldom rides in his
sled unless it is unloaded. The women
trudge along on foot also, and more usual
than not pack the baby on their backs
under'thc hood Of their "parkics"
The favoritc hunting grounds of the
interior natives in Northwestern Alaska
are in the vicinity of the headwatcrs of
several large rivers which flow into the
Arctic Ocean. The region is dotted by
innumerable lakes, most of which are
surrounded by mountains, and forms an
ideal place for hunting big game. Here
are found black aud brown bear. carl
bou, mountain sheep, wolf, muskrat,
beaver, red, white, cross and silvcr-rray
foxes, lynx, Arctic hare and reindeer.
The pelts of all these animals are care
fully preserved when taken, and when
the spring opens the hunters journey to
the coast to trade with the coast natives
and white traders for such articles as
ammunition, drilling, tobacco, etc.
The reindeer furnishes the principal
article of food for the natives OF the in
terror for six months of the year. They
are found in herds around the foothills
of the mountains and scattered IN bands
over the tundra plains. When herd is
located the hunters follow it up as closely
as possible, and some of their methods
OF capture are peculiar to this region and
deserve special description. Once while
engaged in reconnaissance of the coun.
try lying on the shores of lake near the
hcadwaters of the Kowak River, I OBJ
served on the hillside, which gradually
slopcd down to the waters edge, col
lection of stone monuments placed at
regular intervals, and so arranged that
they formed two lines gradually ap-
proaching each other as the lake shore
was reached. My guide informed me
that these monuments had been erected
there by hunters and were used by them
as means of driving the deer into the
lake when the ice had melted In the
spring. The deer was driven carefully
by the hunters toward tho wide opening
between the line of stones, and then as
the animals still move in the hunters
rush in and stampede the herd. The
stone monuments are mistaken by the
now thoroughly frightened deer for
men, and they invariably make a dash
for the narrow opening at the other end
of the line of stones. This of course
brings them to the lake, and into it the
whole herd plunges to seek escape by
swimming to the other shore. The hunt
ers follow in boats, and my informant
told me that often hundreds of deer were
killed in this manner if the hunters had
been skilled in driving large band into
this novel trap. Another way of trap
ping deer on large scale is to drive a
herd into a narrow gorge which is filed
with snowdrift. When the animals at
tempt to cross these drifts they break
through the thin upper crust and thus
fall an easy prey to their enemies.
A clever way of capturing wolf or
other predatory animal is by rolling
piece of sharpened whalebonc about a
foot in length up in shape of watch
spring and covering it with thick layer
of tallow. The ball thus made is placed

the setting OF traps very near their win
ter camps, and these are only visited when
exceptionally fine weather permits.
From October Until the latter putt of
January storm after storm sweeps over
the barren tundra plains, snow falls al
most incessantly, and the high polar
winds drive even these hardened hyper
koreans to shelter. The return of the
sun from the south, bringing with it
light and more settled weather, is the
signal for the natives 10 emerge from
their dismal winter huts and begin their
migratory hunt for food, which will last
until the coming of spring unseals the
rivers and opens up once more the ave.
MUGS to the coast.
In each little winter camp visited in
Arctic Alaska, writes J. G. Cantwell, In
the San Francisco Chronicle, there was
one hut considerably larger than the
others, and upon inquiry 1 learned that
this was used as a sort of general gather
ing place for the men of the commune,
where the work of preparation for the
coming hunting season was done anc the
plans of the family generally discussed.

ing season.
The Eskimo dog is perhaps cursed
with the most unhappy lot of any of the
canine race, and his disposition has been
soured by advcrsity in the shape of hard
kicks and small allowance of food until
nc appears now to be creature with no
other aim in life thnn to steal whatever
is left within his reach, to quarrel and
fight with every other living dog, or to
howl dlsmally if he is prevented from
carrying out these little propensitics by
being tied up by his master. Eskimo
dogs have no idea of protecting property,
and are sing llarly indifferent to the pres
encc of strangers in the camp. They
recognize no law except that of brute
force, and will only work when hungry
and the prospect of food ut the end of the
journey is before them.

Where specks OF straying sunlight faI
Slow, splash his lazy oars.

They are not devoid of intelligence,
and some of their actions go to prove
this In an amusing manner. Once while
being towed in small boat by team of
dogs along the shores of Selawik Lake
noticed one of the team inclined to loaf
by hanging back, stopping to scratch,
making futile efforts to get out of his
harness and by numerous other dog tricks
to avoid work. When this sort of thing
had gone on for some time, the rest OF
the dogs set up kind of yelping protest,
and suddenly the leader of the team, a
big, shaggy fellow, turned and sprang
on the offending dog and gave him
good thrashing. When the dogs
were separated and started off agnin
observed that the lazy member no longer
had any desire to shirk. But if the Es-
kimo dogs disposition is not the sweet
est in the world the work he does for his
native masters moro than compensates
for his lack of amiability. In his puppy
days every attention possible is paid to
the dogs health and comfort. I have
often seen an Eskimo woman holding a
little puppy which was not feeling just
right rs tenderly in her arms as she
would a baby, but at six months the
good days of puppydom are over and the
young dog is soon in harness for life.
The best dogs in Alaska are raised ut
Cape Prince of Wales and in that vicin-
ity. They form one OF the chief sources
of wealth OF the coast natives, and in this
respect are as certain source Of revenue
as is the pony to our Indians of the
plains.
