Dust In the Air.

Natural science is not only occupied
with great and important problems,
but devotes considerable attention and
thoroughness to very small ones.
Angus Rankin has given two years of
ardent study and research to the prob
lem of dust particles in the air, and the
result of his examination is that in
mountainous regions six hundred and
ninety-six particles of dust are allotted
to each cubic half-inch of air in one
year In London one hundred thou
sand particles of dust fall to each cubic
half-inch of air during the same space
of time, and other large cities are not
likely to fare better than this approxi-
nation.

during the contest. The rowing was
strong, though against a terrific wind.
At the mile post YaIe's stern had
reached Harvard's PROV, and Harvard
sympathizers began to realize that
nothing but an accident. collapse in the
Yale boat or an unexpected squirt from
Harvard could save the day for Cam
bridge. Over the next half mile the
splashing of both was very bad. The
waves ran high and offered the crews
every inducement to become ''rattled"
and break from their stroke into fatal
disorder.
Close by the two and half mile post
Thomas, the Harvard c0Xswain, exhib-
tied some inferior work, and the result
was that the crimson shell swung past the
flag wildly.
Coxswain Olmstead of Yale hugged
every post thus far closely, and thereby
gained at least half length for Yale.
The Yale stroke became easier as Ohm
stead saw that the Yale lead had grown
into two lengths at the two and a half
mile post, while Harvard's exertions be-
came manifestly labored. Yale was
catching water deeper than Harvard and
splashing much less. The waves were at
their highest along by the threemile
post. They danced against the shells so
tiercely that the out-riggers of both were
hit at nearly every gust.
By the three-mile flag long line of
steamers and other craft closed behind
the boats, and every eye saw that the race
was undisputably Yale's. The blue boat
was three lengths in the lead and moving
beautifully, and clear course lay before
them.
Cummings was doing notably desper-
ate work in the Harvard boat. His eff
forts were commendable, though mani
testify misdirected. The starboard oars,
however, were more noticeably ragged.
The boat went ahead by jerks, and all
hope for a crimson victory vanished.
In the Y ale boat the eight tireless oars
men settled down to an iron finish. Gal
Iaudet was pale, but determined. His
body work was awkward, but his strokes
caught the Thames with unerring uni
formity. He was the nearest approach 10
weakening in the Yale boat When the
command came from Captain Ives to
make the final brace Coxswain Olmstead
stopped over and dashed water in Gal
iaudet's face several times. 1t had the
desired effect, and the great stroke settled
into his firrnest form.
The stroke went up three points and
sent the shell down the homestretch like
a machine. Coxswain OImstead's aid to
Gallaudet cost Yale a few yards. but it
was not noticed i'll the steady lead gained.
Down the last half-mile Harvard weak
ened. Her all-round rowing was poor
and she crossed the line nearly four
lengths In the rear.
Yale won by nearly four lengths in
25:011. Harvard's time was 25:l5.

TANNING HUSBANDS IN ALASKA.
Methods Adopted, in Settling Family
and Neigh borh God OuarreIs.

Al
and NeighborhOod Quarrels.
Alaskan women" said Judge Sheak-
ley, who was for five years United States
Commissioner at Alaska, to a Washing
ton star representative, "have a way of
bringing their husbands to time which is
very effective. They do not fling flat
irons and rolling pins or give curtain
lectures, but retire to a corner, neglect
their household duties and sulk, refusing
to say word A few days of this treat
ment generally brings the husband
around. The women in Alaska also have
an odd way of quarreling. They do not
pull hair or resort TO fistcutfs, but after
having given each other a severe tongue
lashing they retire to their homes.
"Alaskans are divided up into families.
such as the Bear, Crow and Deer families
These families take cognizance of quar-
rels and teuds result. After the quarrel
Mrs. Bear will retire to her house. tear
up her clothing and two or three blankets
and then send word to Mrs. Eagle, her
enemy. 1t thereupon becomes incumbent
upon Mrs. Eagle to destroy greater
amount of clothing and more blankets of
her own than Mrs. Bear. BY pursuing
this peculiar process she evens things up
in the quarrel. If she did not do so she
would be disgraced in the eyes of her
relatives and opposite sex. The women
are great traders, carry the purse and
manage things generally. If the husband
makes bad bargain in trading his wife
ridicules him.
"There is a woman in Sitka, known as
Princess Tom, who is very rich. She at
one time had three husbands, but has be-
come chriStianized and has discarded
two. She is an extensive trader, and has
several large canoes in which she trans
ports goods from SitlIa to the interior and
exchanges them with the natives for
furs. She is known all over Alaska. and
wears on her arms twenty or thirty gold
bracelets made out of $50 gold pieces,
The natives also trace their genealogy
through the female branch of the family.
and the inheritance comes through the
mothers side. For instance. il a chief
should die leaving a son his sisters son
or nephew would succeed in authority
and not his own son. The women are
not slaves, as in the Indian tribes in this
country, but exercise a great deal of
authority.
''They have another peculiar custom.
In this country mans prominence de-
pends largely upon his wealth. Among
the Alaskans it depends upon how much
he gives away. If a rich member of the
Eagle tribe, for example, wishes to be-
come chief or a prominent man. he
makes pot latch or gift of all his prop
erty. All the members of the Eagle fami-
ly, no matter how remote, are invited to
attend the pot LATCH and the festivities
include dancing and feasting, and fre-
quently last a week. The more he gives
away, the poorer he makes himself, the
more exalted he becomes in the estima-
ton OF his fellows. The women emulate
their sex in civilized countries in their
atfectation of bright and gaudy colors,
and most of the money that they receive
| is invested in bright colored goods and
shawls."

The Yale men rely on Carter to win the
game for them, and it is thought that
when he resumes his terrific pace the
Harvard batsman will not be able to hit
him, despite what they learned in the
past two games.
At about the third inning the victori-
GUS Yale crew will be marched upon the
field, and it is expected that the ovation
they will receive will demoralize the Har-
ward nine.
