ment was given last evening in the base

The KIondike as a Place to Live In.

Int us n W me
Dawson City is nearly ten degrees
further to the south than the ancient
Norwegian town of Hammerfest,
where men make shift to live comfort
ably the year round. To be sure, there
is no gulf stream to temper the iron
frosts of Klondike, and the average
winter is 20 degrees below zero; but
there are warm winds from the Pacific
IN the summer that make the climate
far from forbidding. The average tenn
perature for the summer months is sc
degrees, and the "a degree mark is by
no means unknown to the mercury. II
is, of course, too far north for wheat
but barley, oats and rye ripen freely
and ordinary vegetables can be cult
waited with success. A fair index to the
soil and climate is afforded by the tim
Der. The finest white spruce grow!
abundantly in the Klondike region
The trunks even attain a diameter O.
two feet where the forest is not crowd
ed. As for the danger of starvation
that should not exist, if the miners ex
ercise common prudence. The streams
swarm with salmon, and few weeks OF
fishing in the fall should provision the
settlement securely.-Illustrated Amer.

GREAT CURIOSITY.
The Blazing Spring wnshin ton
Found in West Virginia.

AS long ago as ITS George Washing
ton visited what is now West Virginia,
and located as part of the pay for his
military service some of the land which
helped to make him the greatest of the
plutocrats of his day before he died
In the Kanawha valley he set apart for
all time as public reservation an acre
of land. His motive was the preserva-
ton of one of the greatest natural
curiosities of the period. In the CEN
ter of that reserved acre was q small
hole In the ground. When rain fell the
hole filled with water. Through the
water dubbed continuously a current
of air from some hidden source. A
burning stick held over the pool i'm
mediately started flame, which con-
tinued until blown out by a strong
wind. Travellers for many years
stopped to marvel at George Washing
toms Burning SPRING" This was the
discovery of natural gas, but Washing.
ton and generations which followed
his time did not know it.
fOfls y ours d1JcT WdSuluR lOu CuTlS'
tened the Burning Spring" very de-
termined citizen, enterprising as it was
understood in that time, bored for salt
water. He did not reach it at depth
expected and was advised to stop. His
reply was that he would find saltwater
or bore into hi. In short time he
struck gas in such volume that the
boring tools were blown out. The gas
caught fire and a mass of fame shot
upward. The enterprising citizen con-
cluded that he had done it, and aban-
doned the location. Nearly a century
passed from the time of Washington's
discovery until the West Virginians
turned to practical account the natural
gas which is now thought to be under
half of the counties of the state.-St

AN AERIAL TORPEDO.
Most Terrible Instrument of ID estruc-

A new horror is to be given to war in
the form of death-dealing torpedo
that navigates the air. Its exterior
casing is a steel cylinder 80 feet long
and five feet three inches in diameter,
tapering down to point in front. At
the rear is a screw propeller driven by
electricity, which sustains it in the air
and drives it forward. On top is a fin
which acts as a rudder.

FOODS FOR THE SEASONS.
Those Appropriate for SIMMER and
Winter.

shOse appropriate LOT summer uhe
Winter.
All foods are productive of energy;
all energy evolves heat; therefore all
foods are heat producing agents. But
some are so greatly superior to Others
in this respect as to merit the name Of
the heat producing foods. These are
the starches, sugars and fats, animal
fats mainly, for those of vegetable
origin are most effective, it is asserted,
in the work of cleansing the intestinal
canal, supplying heat only to very
limited degree. These food products
burn or oxydize very readily within as
without the body, giving out heat as the
result and being first changed by the
wonderful process of digestion as they
pass through the alimentary canal be-
fore entering the blood. AS a matter
of course it follows that starches, sug-
ars and fats shouldbe avoided when the
maintenance of a high degree of animal
heat is undesirable, or, to particularize,
that such starchy vegetables as rice,
potatoes, etc. are better winter than
summer foods, that sweets should not
be extensively INDUCED in during the
heated term, that fats should be used
even more sparingly, and that all these |
foods should be restored to favor again |
when colder weather makes a great |
amount of animal heat desideratum. |
If this were always done, if appetite
rather than reason were not so often
the ruling force in our lives, then IN
doubtedIy our winters would be more
our summers more en-
durable. But we too frequently find
ourselves unable to break the force of
habit, and therefore eat crullers and
chocolate on hot summers day, or
breakfast including fried bacon and
when the mercury is climb
ng close to the nineties before its daily
york is fairly inaugurated; and pies
md cakes unlimited! when we are con-
'essedly almost dying of heat.-Wash.

Dees' Night Work.

Bees work at night in the hive, build
ing their combs as perfectly as If an
electric light shone there all the time.
The existence of the young depends on
the liquidity of the saccharine food pre-
sented to them, and if light were al
lowed access to this it would, in all
probability, prove fatal to the inmates
Of the hive.-Cincinnati Enquirer.
