Famine in Alaska

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 23-John Z.
Green, mine owner and prospector at
Gulavine Bay, Alaska, has returned
from there. He says the Inuit Indians
to the number of 500, along Fish river,
are in starving condition. Game is
scarce and all they have to live on is
fish, which they dry in summer. Even
this meagre supply is stolen from them
by the MalomuIe Indians, a powerful
tribe, who come down annually from
Port Clarence and take from the Inuits
the fish they have dried. The Iuuits,
Green says, are peaceful, honest people,
and have been of great assistance to
shipwrecked sailors on this coast.

getting men, and offered every induce
ment to get sailors to desert their ships
and come to San Francisco. Quite a
number of sailors have been gathered
in III this manner, and captains of
deep-water ships will have to pay a
heavy bonus to get men to fill the
places of the deserters.

History of an African Boat.

A little vessel having remarkable
history has piled for years on Lake Tan
ganyika. Her story illustrates the prog
ress in that region from slavery toward
civilization. The boat, known as the
Calabash, was originally huge tree
trunk, cut down by the axes of the ma
tives with enormous labor, and then
with AK and adj and fire nodded into
shape. Boats like the Calabash are ex-
cellent sea vessels, though in their lines
they suggest rather clumsy hippopota-
mus than u swan.
On one of her voyages, after she had
served as a trading canoe for two years
she entered the port Of Ujiji, where she
was bought by an Mswahili slave trader.
For three years She piled hack and forth
across the lake, bringing cargoes Of
wretched men, women and children to
the Ujiji slave market One day load
of slaves had just been landed on the
shore when Mr.. Hore, who had recently
come to Ujiji as an agent Of the London
Missionary society, saw the little craft
and decided that She was Just about
what he needed for exploratory voyages
around the lake.
He succeeded i'll purchasing her, and
the little boat was once more launched
upon Tanganyika as the first missionary
vessel on the lake. Consecrated to the
cause Of peace she became known in
time to every tribe as the harbinger Of
good will.-Chicago Post.

Communicatinp with Paris.

The methods employed by the Partisan
authorities for communicating with the
provinces during the siege of Paris were
persevering and ingenious. The princi-
pal means of sending letters was by bal
looms and carrier pigeons, but many
other plans were tried. 1t was almost
impossible for Il messenger to get through
the German lines. Even when other
difficulties could be overcome the dam
ger of search and a discovery of the
dispatch was great
Many of the messengers made incisions
in the skin and hid a dispatch under the
epidermis. Others provided themselves
with hollow ten centime pieces or hol-
low keys, which could be opened like Il
box and III which dispatches could be
hidden. One was accustomed to hide
his dispatch under an artificial hollow
tooth. These dispatches of course were
written in cipher, and covered only a
fragment of paper.
Attempts were made to cross the
enemy's lines by following the caves and
natural tunnels under the left branch Of
the Seine, and by diving and crossing
the bed of the river in diving suits. but
these plans failed.
A curious scheme was the putting OF
letters into little hollow spheres Of zinc,
and throwing these spheres into the
Seine or its tributaries, hoping that they
would float to Paris. They did float to
Paris, but not until after the armistice.
1t was supposed that they were stopped
by dams, or that they were discovered
and held back by the Germans until the
siege was at an end.-Youth's Compan.
