Alaskan Curiosities.

Prof L. L. Dyche. Of the University
of Kansas, returned from Alaska on
the City of Topeka, and left last night
by way of California for his home.
Prof. Dyche went to Cooks Inlet espe-

the Knik River with an organized ex-
petition, which was a success, although
the obstacles to be overcome We're ap-
palling. The native boatman stripped
naked and with ropes pulled the boat
up the turbulent river. Prof. Dyche
obtained specimens of q new mountain

animals. On July II Prof. Dyche saw
eight inches of snow fall, and on Aug
II six inches fell. He saw three smok.
ing mountains and experienced an
earthquake. He found large coal
lodges, but the coal was so soft that II
could be whitfield with a knife. Prof
Dyche said
That country is oue-half made. 1t

NO LONGER IMPROBABLE.
Modern Guns Render Gibraltar Less
Valuable than Formerly.


An article of exceptional interest.
evidently written by a Spanish military
officer, appears in a current number of
the Memorial de Artillerla, showing
that the extended range of modern ar
tillery has completely revolutionlzed
the conditions which have hitherto ena-
bled Gibraltar to protect its own ARISEN
al and dock yard and to afford safety
for vessels at anchor under the guns of
the fortress.
When Gibraltar was taken by the
English in 1904 the greatest range for
artillery fire was only about 5000
yards, SO that a fleet under the bat.
terles OF Gibraltar was secure against
attack from the Spanish coast.
1t is now pointed out that with a com
paratiyely small expenditure of money
by the Spanish Government batteries
constructed in the Bay OF Algeciras
upon the ridge Of mountains known az
the Queen Of Spaln's chair, would ac.
tually command Gibraltar ut a distance
of 1900 yards and would be capable OF
demolishing the whole length of the
f0rtitications from the galleries to Eu-
ropa point. These Spanish batteries
would also threaten the entry Of ships
of war to the Moles. The plan would
merely involve the mounting Of some
forty heavy guns of from 47-inch to
Pinch caliber and similar number of
howitzers.
At the present moment the strategical
points on this part Of the Spanish coast
are entirely unfortihed, and with
Spain's present embarrassments In
Cuba and the Philippines It is not like
ly, as the Broad Arrow points out, that
the Madrid Government will take lm-
mediate action In the matter But that
these batteries may be constructed
some day or other is far from improb-
able and in view of the great import
ance to England of Gibraltar as naval
base and the renewed expenditure upon
It's combined arsenal and dockyard. the
subject Is beginning to attract the seri-
Gus attention Of naval and military au-
thorities. New York Herald

Butter Making Is Profitable.

A ton Of butter sold from the farm de-
priYes the soil OF about so cents worth
of fertility, while a ton of wheat costs
the farmer ten times that sum. When
the farmer sells an article that does not
take a large proportion Of fertility from
the soil he Is just as much the gamer as
though he had got his price for the
same, as the plant food in the soil is al
ways prepared and stored as 50 much
raw material for producing the next
crop. In fact, when farmer sells the
fertility of his soil he is really selling
the farm itself, as he Is compelled to
supply in some form to the farm that
which he takes from 1t to be sent to
market.

English Bacon.

The bacon, which Is one Of the most
popular nursery dishes in English
households, Is quite different from that
usually eaten here. 1t is not smoked
and Is home cured. sweet and delicious.
1t is sliced very thin, cooked very quick
ly to be just done through, and is eaten
hot, but not dried up on slices of bread.
English physicians consider this the
best OF food for growing children, and
as valuable as cod-liver oil in tissue
building. A typical nursery breakfast
In well-to-do English household Is oat-
meal porridge with rashers OF bacon,
marmalade and cambria tea and coffee
made with rich milk and very little

Growing Pntatoea.

A successful potato grower gives his
method Of growing potatoes as follows:
Prepare the ground In the fall. Late
In March spread potatoes in a warm
place until well sprouted. When the
ground is sufficiently dry, work IT.;
when warm enough make burrows two
and one-half feet apart with a horse
hoe. Cut potatoes with one or two eyes
to the piece, drop them sixteen inches
apart, using care TO have pieces with
eyes up, spouts being unbroken. Then
kick over a little dirt and strew phos-
phate around the seed, covering with
a horse hoe not too deep. When i've
or six inches high cultivate, continuing
this every week or so until the tops
are too large. Corn may be planted be
tween the rows after the last hoeing
After potatoes are dug, go ahead with
the cultivation of the corn. The result
VIII be satisfactory.

Beware
OF the Knife,

writes: 'For six years l have been
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
OF physicians in Washington, d. c.,

reduce the enlargement. After six
months constant treatment here, nv
physician urged me to submit to a re-
moval of the gland. AT this critical mo-
ment friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a deep-rooted preiu-
dice against all patent medicines, l be-
gan its use. Before. had used one bot

Had only used your s. SIS. long ago,
would have escaped years of misery
and saved over SI5o."
This experience is like that of all who
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. SIS. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root Of
the disease and forces it out per1na-

be understood that it is only velyeteen,
not velvet, which can be cleansed in this
way. The latter, containing silk, is only
amenable to the ordinary process of dry
cleaning.
The newest idea in sashes is the Wat
teau, which comes from between the
shoulder blades, and from thence descends
to the feet. For this purpose, there is
liberal choice of ribbons in stripes. es-
peecially velvet and silk combined, or in
checks. which include some unusually
bold tartans, and in plain rich peau de
sole of the vivid red tones which are so
becoming and often SO delightful an addi-
ton to winter dress. Sashes which fall
from the waist, whether for day or even
ing wear, appear to be carelessly tied,
starting from loose bow.
Roman sashes, relics of other days,
when not wide and long enough to drape
about the waist, are now utilized by styl-
tsh women in another way. They are tied
about the neck, the loops and long fringed
ends forming rich Eand elegant front,
taking the place of the blouses sold to
wear with open coats or boleros.
