vents for the tempests Of fame that
sweep out of and down into the sun.
An up-and-do rush has a velocity of
about. twenty miles second, and side
rush q velocity Of one hundred and
twenty miles a second. These tempests
rage for days and months at time,
and as they cease the sides OF the spots
fly together at the rate of 10000 miles
an hour They strike together and
the rising spray Of fire leaps thousands
Of miles into space. 1t falls again and
rolls over the Himalayas Of fire as the

Tho Alaskan Dog.

The Alaskan dog is almost human IN
Intelligence. He weighs about 100
pounds. Heavily laden, he will travel
as many as sixty miles a d0y.
With twenty dogs in a team no two OF
them are In q straight line from the
driver. When unhitched for the night
they pile upon the first blanket that Is
thrown upon the snow, and there they
stay. When you crawl into your sleep
ing bag and pull a robe over it the dog
will get under the robe. Unless you are
careful he will be inside of the bag in
the morning. Their endurance is phe
nomenal and they are capable o. strong
affection. They are great fighters.
A traveller who recently returned
from Alaska says Of the treatment ac-
corded these faithful animals:
The whip that Is used on them Is
the cruelest thing Of its kind that is
known to man. Thirty feet in length
and two inches thick near the short
handle. 1t has n lash ten feet long that
cuts like a knife. The Russian knout
isn't in 1t. When a dog is struck you
hear a sharp yelp, and then your sleigh
whirls past a bit of fur or possibly a
piece Of bloody skin lying on the snow"

Taking Its Own Portrait.

1t seems like something of an achieve
ment to make a wild deer take its own
portrait, but such feat was lately ac-
complished by Mr.. Charles Hughes, of
Red Bluff, Cal.
He conceived the idea of causing a
wild animal to take a fashlight photo
graph as it passed along a trail in the
Coast Range of mountains, secure un-
der cover Of night.
To accomplish this purpose MI.
Hughes set up the camera a short dis
lance from trail over which deer were
known to run, and then connected the
shutter and the flashlight materials
with a trap. When the deer stepped
upon the trap the camera was opened
and the f1ashlight set of at the same
instant. Mr.. Hughes thus secured the
negative in the dead of night, and when
there was not q soul within sight or
hearing Of the animal
On developing the negative Mr..
Hughes found the photograph Of deer.
The frightened appearance of the ami
NAL as he was startled by the sudden
flash Of light is clearly shown In the

COED MONEY IN POLECATS.

Man etarts a skunk Farm and Ex.
p-cts soon to Become Wealthy.
Edgar Brown, who lives all alone OF
an island in the lake of the woods
about twelve miles from Rat Portage,
Ont, is the owner of what is probably
the most novel farm In existence. He
calls 1t a skunk farm. The entire isl
and Is given up to the raising of pole
cats. Brown came to Duluth from st.
Louis, No., in boom days, made a for
tune and lost 1t again, like a great
many others. Two years ago he got
the gold fever and went into the Cana
dian gold fields. He had about $4,000
when he left Duluth. half Of which he
invested in a gold mine. which he had
been told was the greatest mine in ex-
lstence. He found rich ore and plenty
Of free gold on the surface, but after
the purchase price was paid for 1t the
mine failed. Brown saw that he had
been swindled and this disgusted him
with gold mining.
He had determined to come back into
the United States and 60 into real es-
tate again, when one day he discovered
that there were other ways iE which
he could make money. While he was in
one Of the stores of the Hudson Bay
Company an Indian came in and sold
q polecat skin. He noticed that the fur
was very fine, and that the company
paid $1.25 for 1t. He made some in
Quiries and found the company was
willing to buy all the fur 1t could Of
that kind for the same price, This sat
lsded him that there would be money
In raising the animals for their fur.
He determined to start a skunk farm
With this end In view he leased an isl
and In the Lake Of the Woods, about
twelve miles from Rat Portage, with
an area Of 16O acres. He employed a
number Of half-breeds to catch some Of
the little animals for him and they
soon had 200 or 800 In captivity. He
stocked his farm with these. He built
little houses for them to live in in win.
ter and made everything as comfort
able as possible for them. He person
ally superintended their care. feeding
them himself. They are fed on fish en-
tirely, which is very plentiful there.
When feeding time comes Brown takes
little cart load Of fish. pushes 1t
around to different stations he has
marked out on the island and whistles
for his pets. They always eat just at
dusk, feeding only once each day. At
the sound of the whistle the bushy-tail-
ed children of the devil" as they are
sometimes called. come scampering
from all directions
Last year Brown raised 400 Of the lit
tie creatures and this year $50 mothers
have families of from two to six each.
He has now about 1000 Of the black
footed beauties nnd they multiply fast
The Hudson Bay Company has con-
tracted to take all the furs and oil he
can furnish, and Brown says his farm
will soon be worth from $4,000 to
$4,000 a year to him, with no danger
of moor crODS.
