FERTILITY OF ALASKA.
Interesting Information Concerning Its
Soil. Climntc and Natural Resources.


Soil, Climate and Natural Resources.
A good deal of interesting informa.
ton concerning Alaska, its climate,
lands, natural resources and industries
is contained in Il report lately sub.
mitted to the house of representatives
from the committee on agriculture.
The climate of many of the regions
there is less severe than might be in
ferrcd from the latitude in which
they lie. In Europe, between the
same parallels of latitude, there is a
population of twenty millions. There
are vast stretches of Alaskan terri
tory in which the climatic con-
ditions are much more favorable
than would be supposed by those
who take account merely of their geo.
graphical situation There are extern
sivc areas of land. both in tho south
and in the north, that are suit.ble for
agriculture, and there is bill before
congress for the erection of agricul-
tural experiment stations within these
| areas.
In letter about Alaska, recently
written for the information Of con-
grcss by Maj. Powell, late Of the Unit
ed States geological survey, there are
some interesting statements in support
of others recently made in official re.
ports. Maj. Powell gives the area OF
tillable land in southeastern Alaska as
fifteen hundred square miles, tract
larger than the state Of Rhode Island;
and he makes an estimate that along
the shores of Cook inlet, the peninsula
and adjacent islands, including the
Alcutian isles, there are five thousand
additional square miles capable Of sue
ccssful cultivation.
Apart from the statements made il
Maj. Powell's letter there is reason t.
believe that upon a large section Of thu
mainland south of the Yukon river tn,
harder grains and vegetables can bt
raised to advantage. In the upper re
gions of the country also there ar,
arabic tracts of land; and the author
ity of Prof. Dawson, of tho Cana
dian geological survey, is given for thu
statement that in the angle formed b.
the eastern boundary of northern
Alaska and the northern boundary o
British Columbia q population Of on
million could be sustained by agricul
ture alonc.-Boston Transcript.

MENTAL EFFECTS OF WEATHER.
A Dull, Dark Day Shows . Falling on
Generally.

A Dull. Dark Day Shows . Falling On
Generally.
A writer in the american Journal
of Psychology" for this year discusses
the subject from the view Of common
experience, and presents some facts
that are interesting as well as leading
in their directncss. He says: THE
head of a factory employing three
thousand workmen said: we reckon
that disngreeablc days yields about
ten per cent less work that delight
full day, and we have thus to count this
as factor in our profit and loss nc.
count Accidents nre more numerous
in factories on bad days. A railroad
man never proposes changes to his su-
perior if the weather Is not propitious.
Fair days make men accessible and
generous, and open to consider new
problems favorably. Some say that
opinions reached in best weather states
are safest to invest on. Other facts are
mentioned in the psychical and physi-
ologicnl relation, as Weather often at.
fects logic, and many mems most syl-
logystic conclusions are varied by heat
and cold. The knee jerk
seems proved to have another factor.
1t Is not strange If the eye, Q. g., which
wants the normal stimulus in long,
dark weather, causes other changes.
Temperament Is fundamental factor
in scnsitivenesst to atmospheric changes,
that type Of it called the mental being
the more intensely affected, while the
bilious type may exhibit by compari'
son the moro capricious or morbid I'M
pressions, says the chronological Jour
nal. The mental manifestations, as a
rule, however depend upon the organ

THE LAND OF INFIoELs.
Observations Of IN English Explorer In tho
Country Of the kaiirs.

Ob9efvatlOne OF IN EnGllsn Explorer In the
Country Of the kafirs.
At a recent meeting of the Royal
Geographical society DR.. G. S. Robert
son read paper on "Kaiiristan"-a
country which up to few years ago
was entirely unknown and unexplored,
and still remains one Of these few in
habited regions Of the world which are
only partially understood. The whole
district, he said, was known by the
name of Kafiristan, which literally
meant 1.-The land Of the infidel," just as
Hindoostan meant ''thc land of the
Hindoo" and Afghanistan "the land of
the Afghan" Before his own visit to
Kafiristan, with one single exception,
no European had ever penetrated into
those remote valleys. The exception
was Lockhart's mission, which in sep
tember, 1885, crossed from Ohitral into
the upper part of the Bashgul valley,
remained there few days, and then
withdrew into Chitral by another road
The actual amount Of country Dr.
Robertson was able to explore was not
of any great extent. Tribal jcalousies
were so great and his position was
oftentimes so difficult that it was fre-
quently question, not of his being
able to get on, but of his being able to
maintain himself in the Katir country
at all. Kafiristan consisted of an ir-
regular series Of main valleys, for the
most part deep, narrow and tortuous,
into which a varying number of still
more difficult. narrower, and deeper
valleys, ravincs, and glcns poured their
torrent water.
The physique Of the katirs was mag
nificent of its kind. They We're light
built men, who almost always seemed
to be in hard training. The most strk.
ing mental pcculiarities of Kafirs Were
their extreme cupidity, their extraor.
dinary jealousy of one another, and the
intensity of their intcrtribal hatred.
| They were by no means simple in char
acter; they could intrigue, concoct
secret plots, and then carry them out
with the secrecy and >ubtlcty Of the
average oriental. The religion of the
katirs was idolatry, with traces ais,
of ancestor-worship. There was moth
ing in the shape of prayers; the sub
stitutes were religious dances, sacrct
songs and sacrifices. The kaiirs were
a brave, independent people, who hat
maintained themselves for ccnturic.

Dog Population OF Paris.

Paris has eighty thousand registered
dogs, says the Eleveur, which
means that there Is one licensed
dog to every twenty-eight inhab-
itants. Granting that there arc
as many unlicensed dogs as there
arc licensed ones, the canine popula-
tion Of Paris Is very large one indeed.
The largest number Of dogs is found In
the poorest quarters. The estimated
cost Of feeding the eighty thousand
dogs is two million dollars per annum,
and they In turn afford n living to
twenty-five manufacturers of dog col
lars and muzzlcs, four bakers OF dogs
bread, five factories where dog biscuits
consisting Of meat fiber, are made, three
special dog pharmacies, u dozen in
! armaries and two hospitals.

IN EUROPEAN SOCIETY.
Americans Rarely Succeed in Entering
the Inner Circles.

Rarely Succeed in Entering
the Inner Circles.
Americans, says Vogue, fail to real.
lie that Europeans recognize no social
or class distinction in this country.
Our people know that this Is a rcpu5-
lie, that it has been republic for more
than century, and that the principal
doctrine upon which the entire nation
al fabric is founded is that of universal
equality. They cannot, therefore, un-
derstand that there should be any kind
of class distinction or gradations of So
ciety. In their eyes all Americans are
equal, and the question as to what CO.
terie or clique their Amcricanacquaint-
ances belong to in this country weighs
but very little with the grand monde in
Europe. 1t is utterly immatcrial to
them whether their American acquaint-
ancc has ever had grandfather ornot:
or, If he had, who his grandfather was.
They do not care one brass farthing
whether he or she happens to be a
"born millionaire" or made million
aire," and they take their American
friends purely and entirely on their
merits, altogether irrespective OF the
sociel status and prestige they may
enjoy on this side OF the Atlantic.
But once an American has succeeded
in getting himself accepted by the best
European society, his position is really
a most delightful one, since he is re
garded as beyond the pale OF class dis
tinction, and is allowed freedom anC
q latitude which would never be ac
corded to any native, no matter how
high his or her rank. Notwithstand
ing all that is claimed to the contrary
there are relatively very few Ameri
cans who may really be said to hav'
