There is law against selling whisky
to the Indians in Alaska, yet fully 200
barrels of the stuff are sold there by the
whalers and sealers every year. When
the steamer Australia leaves for Homo
lulu, part of her cargo will consist of IS
barrels of whisky, and it is an open &C.
cret that it is sent down to be placed on
the whalers bound to Behring sea.
The liquor is doctored and adulterated
so that by the time it reaches Alaska it
has doubled in quantity and is a first
class article of "chain lightning" The
Indians will give everything they possess
for the whisky, and the captains find it
far better than gold in trading with the
natives.-San Francisco Examiner.

Curiosities About observatori...

The first recorded observatory was on
the top of the temple of Belus; the tomb
of Osymadias in Egypt was the second.
This last contained a golden astronom-
ical circle 200 feet in diameter. Another
at Benares, India, is believed to be al
most as ancient as either of the other
two. The first in Europe was erected at
Cassell in 1851; that of Tycho Brahe at
Uraninburg was built in 1875. The
Paris observatory dates from 1857 and
that Of Greenwich is two years older.
The one at Nuremberg was erected in
1878 and that at Berlin in I'LL. The fa-
nous Bologna tower was built in TIA.
