There would come hurried messenger

be, was in the house, and if he was to
send him to the box Office at once. OF
course the stage manager couldn't very
well refuse, and the general attention
was directed to the medical man, much
to his satisfaction. We soon found out
that the doctors who were so much in

SOMETHING ABOUT ALASKA.
Nearly Half as Large as the United
States

Nearly Half as Large as the United
States.
Very few of the more intelligent of
American citizens comprehend the extent
and physical characteristics of Alaska.
10 say that Alaska contains $50, 107
square miles gives an adequate concep-
ton of tstimmense size. That impress
sion is better secured by series of rela-
tives comparisons. For instance, from
extreme North to South is l 400 miles in
an air line, or as far as from Maine to
Florida; and from it's eastern boundary
to the end of the Aleutian Islands is :. 200
miles in an air line, or as far as from
Washington city to California. The
island of Attu, the western end of the
Aleutian chain of islands is as far west of
SanFrancisco asMaine is east, so that from
the extreme eastern and western sections
of the United States San Francisco is
the great central city.
Or take another basis of comparison.
Alaska is as large as all of the New Eng
land and Middle States together with
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Mich
igan, kentucky and Tennessee combined,
or as large as all of the United States east
of the Mississippi river and north of Geor-
gia and the Carolinas, or nearly one sixth
OF the entire area of the United States.
1t has coast line of 1881, or nearly
twice as much as. the Atlantic and Pacific
coast lines of the remaining portion of
the United States. Commencing at the
north shore of Dixon inlet in latitude 81
degrees, 40 minutes, the coast sweeps in
long, regular curve north and west
to the entrance of Prince William s
sound, distance of $50 miles, thence
725 miles south and west to Unimak
Pass, at the end of the Alaska peninsula.
From this pass tire Aleutian chain of
islands sweeps 1,015 miles in long
curve almost to Asia, the dividing line be-
tween Russia and the United States, be-
ing the meridian of 1913 degrees west
longitude. North of Unimak Pass the
coast forms a zigzag line to Point Bar
row, on the Arctic ocean, and thence south
of east TO the boundary.
