Ii is satisfactory to learn that all the reputable

In the strongest fashion the dsgraceful attack
made for base political purposes upon President
Faure through his estimable and popular wife.
The father Of the latter rendered himself guilty
of an act Of dishonesty and absconded three
months before her birth. leaving her TO be

counted upon their possession Of this secret

Faure as President--to compel him to become
the pliable instrument Of their designs against

Policeman Neggesmith at once vindicated the
majesty OF the law and showed the value Of the
bicycle police squad on the Boulevard by his
successful pursuit and arrest of a "scorcher' on

the bicycle police for the process Of arrest con-

struction of clothes and Disagreement Of the per-
son-extending doubtless to danger OF life and
limb-that even the tyro will recognize as
necessary consequence thereof. The devotion of
the policeman is correspondngly to be extolled
And we judge that when the prowess OF the
bicycle police has been demonstrated a few
times more in this convincing way. ''scorching

The island will never be wanted for
anything else, and 1t is inhabited only
by few Aleuts. Artificial matching
can be instituted there at any time and
on large scale. Thus, all of the
streams OF the continent can he re-
peopled with these beautiful and. de-
sirable inhabitants at small expense TO
the government.
In presenting his argument for the
establishment of national salmon
park, the fish commissioner makes lib
eral quotations from the opinions of ex-
perts who have studied the question,
and his efforts will undoubtedly have.
nm effect upon the minds of our ma
tional legislators. Certainly every man
who loves the sport, and everyone who
realizes the Importance of maintaining
our supply of fish food of the best quail
ity, will concede the forcefulness of
the plea which has been officially made.
The wonderful abundance of salmon
in the waters Of Alaskn has been known
for years tothose who have had oppor-
tunity for investigation, but that re-
gion of ourcountry is soremote and mac
ccSsible to the general public that until.
the fish commissioner gave publication
OF the facts it was impossible for every
one to know all of the truth and ali Of
the possibilities which may result from
prudent and economic DEVELOPMENT of
those resources. Statistics slow that
S5O,OOo cases, representing over 4,OO0,-
600 salmon, were taken from one in
significant rivulet which runs into the
Karlulk river of Alaska during one sea
son. The entire product of the sea-
son of 1850 amounted to approximately
s4,oOO,OoO. Surely that is au industry
worthy rather of development than Of
neglect. The product of the canneries
there for 1890 exceeded $4,000, 900. The
catch is accomplished by gill nets,
traps and seines, but the greatest catch
is made by haul seines which sweep the
cstuaries of the small rivers, Seine
follows seine in rapid succession in
the proper season, and the catch is
almost complete in every case. These
important fisheries will be impoyer.
ished within few years, unless the
suggestions of the fish commissioner
meet with prompt approval and con
gressional action. SMITH d. Far.

nate for our country thai there IS IN
our Alaskan possessions Just siich .
place as Is wanted probably more than
one--and 80 exceptionally fortunate is
America in this respect that tits not
likely that, this side Of the frozen and
uninhabltable shores Of the Arctic, Il
can be duplicated in thepossessions Of
all the nations Of the earth combined,
which significant circumstance goes 70
show how near the world has reached
the extreme limit Of It's salmon supply.
The locality referred 70 s an island
in the North Pacific about 750miles
nearly due west OF Sitlsa Its name is
Afognals, and II is the northerntnost Of
the two largest islands Of the group
called the Kadiak islands II lies lust
north Of latitude IS and between 152
and 1853 west longitude II Is a small
island, probably not more than City
miles across at It's widest part, but
there are several streams flowing from
various points of the island 70 the sur
rounding ocean that at the proper sea-
son contain salmon innumerable. II Is
no exaggeration to say that salmon
swarm up these streams in countless
myriads. sin 1889 the salmon were so
thick in the streams that II was abso-
lutely necessary, in fording them, TO
kick the salmon out of the sway to avoid
stumbling over them.
This story illustrates as wen as any
thing the wonderful abundance Of
salmon in the Afognak streams; and IL
can be easily believed when ii IS re.
membered that about d month earlier
$4,000 salmon were caught in one day
Mt the mouth of the Karluls, which is a
river only sixty feet wide where 1t
empties into the ocean. The salmon
are there in as great numbers as could
be wished. All the varieties also
which inhabit the Pacific ocean come
to Afognak. The list is royal cata-
logue: The red salmon, the sblue-
back" of the Columbia; the king
salmon, the 'quinnat' or Spring
salmon" of the Columbia: the silver
salmon, the ssilversidesr OF the Column
bia; the humpbacl salmon, the dog
salmon, the steelhead, the "square-
tailed trout of the tributaries Of the
Columbia, and the dolly warden.
What paradise for salmon this island
is, and what magnificent place Of
safety 1t would be if 1t were set aside
for national park, where the salmon
could always hereafter be unmolestedl
The island is inhabitable all the year
round; with comparatively even tenn
perature, although so far north, the
winters cold is not excessive, probably
not equaling that of parts Of New
England. 1t is colder than New Eng
land in summer, but there is
much less variation Of tempera-
ture between summer and winter.

FRENCH LOSSES I'M war.
Six Million Men Perished ii the Bal.
Ties Of the Last Century.

Six Million Men Perished il the Bat
tles Of the Last Century.
Or. Lageneau, Of the French
Academy Of Medicine, has been max
ing an estimate Of the deaths by the
wars Of France for the last
century. says the New York
Sun. He finds that the civil.
wars Of the end Of the eighteenth
century and Of the republic up to
and including the year 1900 cost the
lives of more than 2, 100, 900 French
men From the year 1901 to Water
loo, when France was fighting Eu-
rope in arms, more than $3.50, 600
Frenchmen were engaged. and near
" 100000 persisted. Under the
restoration, Louis Philippe and the
second republic, when there were
campaigns 10 Spain, Greece and All
gters, the army included less than
2l5, 900 men, and the loss in battle
was only % a thousand. Even in
the brilliant African campaigns the
mean annual loss was less than $50
men.
Next came an era Of frequent and
bloody wars. The war in the Crimea,
the war in Italy, the war in China,
the war in Mexico, and finally the
war with Prussia. Out Of rather
less than 10000 French soldiers
sent to the Crimea 95,6l5 persisted.
OF the 100000 that took part in the
Italian war neafly 10000 persisted.
Nearly 1000 persisted in the expedi-
ton to China. The medical statis-
tics of the French in the war of
1870 have not been published, nor
have those Of the Mexican undertake
ing. The effective strength of the
French in 1901 was /, 400, 600 men.
The number lost is not positively
known, but it is believed that the
wars of the second empire cost l.
100000 lives. Dr. Lageueau esti-
mates that the small wars of the
third republic have been fought at
comparatively small cost of human
life. He estimates the total loss
for the century to have been 6,O0O,-
600 men, mostly young.
