ALASKA'S TEMPERATURE
It Reaches F'ifty-Nine Below in the
Klondyke Region.
Only Four Hours of Daylight in Win.
ter and Twenty in Summer-State-
ment of Chief Moore of the
Weather Bureau.

Under the direction of Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, Chief
Moore, of the weather bureau, has made
public a statement in regard to the
climate of Alaska. In this statement
Mr.. Moore says:
The climates of the coast and interior
of Alaska are unlike in many respects,
and the differences are intensified in
this, as perhaps in few other countries,
By exceptional physical conditions.
The fringe of islands that separates
the mainland from the Pacific ocean,
from Dixon sound north, and also
strip of the mainland for possibly 20
miles back from the sea, following the
sweep of the coast as it curves to the
northwestward to the western eXtrem-
ity of Alaska, form a distinct climatic
division which may be termed temper
ate Alaska. The temperature rarely
falls to zero; winter does not set in
until December /, and by the last of
May the snow has disappeared except
on the mountains. The mean winter
temperature of Sitka is 1875, but little
less than that of Washington, D. c.
The rainfall of temperate Alaska is
notorious the world over, not only as
regards the quantity, but also as the
manner of its falling, viz, in long and in
cessant rains and drizzles. Cloud and
fog naturally abound, there being on
an average but 60 clear days in the
year.
North of the Aleutian islands the
coast climate becomes more rigorous in
winter, but in summer the difference
is much less marked.
The climate of the interior, including
in that designation practically all the
country except a narrow fringe of
coastal margin and the territory be-
fore referred to as temperate Alaska,
is one of extreme rigor in winter, with
a lDrief but relatively hot summer, es-
pecially when the sky is free from
clouds.
In the Klondyke region in midwinter
the sun rises from $50 to 10 a. IL. and

county, the rain coming down for four
hours in almost solid sheets. This man
started out and on the way he passed
through a section where for two miles
the frogs literally covered the ground
The road was covered and the ground
in the woods as far as could be seen
on either side. They were crushed be-
meath his horses feet as he rode along.
There were three kinds or sizes. most
of them being the green so-called tree
frogs" so abundant there. The small
ones were about an inch long, the others
being two and three inches. There
were millions of them and the noise
they made was deafening. He brought
several along as specimens.
It's the general opinion tere that The
cloudEurst brought them. This is the
first time that this thing has ever hap
pened in tEis section and the people
are greatly excited over it. The man
stated that the frogs seemed dazed anf
hardly moved as he came along.

To Rcmoye Powder Grains.

When the face has become disfgured
by powder grains becoming imbedded,
those situated specifically will be
thrown off with the epithelum. Poui-
ticing and clustering may be tried to
favor this. The deeper particles may
be removed by fine-pointed galvano-
cautery. The earlier it is applied the
less the tissue to be destroyed, for as
time goes on the stain becomes DIFF
fused. In old cases, where the whole
skin of the part is involved, this method
should not be tried. An anesthetic may
be required in some instances. as re-
peatei applications are often necessary.
The tip of the cautery at white heat is
quickly introduced and withdrawn.
For grains imbedded in the conea The
operation is precisely that Of carteriz-
| ing for ulcer.

There are only two classes. To which

1t has been estimated that the sub
scrbed capital of the brewing and dis
tllery firms in the United Kingdom
amount to E250,O0O,OOO, while the mar
let value of the shares is nearly double
that amount.
Sunderland, England, saloon keepers
give checks to everyone buying grow
Ter of beer. which amount to three shii-
lings for every 20 shillings' worth
bought. The system has trebled the
consumption of beer in the town, and
they are talking of giving a rebate for
drinks cold across the bar as well.
The famous Dr. Willard Parker says:
THE average life of temperance peo-
pie is Ga years and two months, while
the average life of the Incorporate is
IS years and six months" And yet
there arc even doctors who recommend
alcoholic stimulants as promoters OF
health and strength.
Wherein, so far as the natter Of self
indulgence is concerned, is the tobacco

them on his back. The most that a
man can carry for any distance is 200
pounds. The method now in vogue Is
to carry one load about five miles, hide
it so that it will not be destroyed by
animals, and then go back for another
load. In this tedious way the goods
are finally transported to their desti-
nation.
The Klondyke bicycle is specially de!
signed to carry freight, and is in real
ity a four-wheeled vehicle and bicycle
combined. 1t is built very strongly and
weighs about so pounds. The tires are
of solid rubber 1l5 inches in diameter
The frame is the ordinary diamond,
of steel tubing, built, however, more
for strength than appearance, and
wound with rawhide, shrunk on, to
enable the miners to handle it with
comfort in low temperatures. From
each side of the top bar two arms of
steel project, each arm carrying
smaller wheel, about II inches in diam
eter, which, when not in use can be
folded up inside the diamond frame.
Devices for packing large quantities
of material are attached to the handle
bars and rear forks, and the machine,
it is estimated, will carry 500 pounds.
The plan is to load it with half the
miners equipment, drag it on four
wheels ten miles or so. Then the rider
will fold up the side wheels, ride it back
as a bicycle, and bring on the rest of
the load.
Another device for arctic comfort,
which the syndicate viii control, is a
portable house of thin boards and felt,
which can be folded up in small com
pass, and which, when erected, will be
nerfcctlY airtipht.

day. The town banker supplies the
money for every contest. If he is wise,
he watches his little corner of the world
as a spider watches from his web. The
great trust which he keeps requires a
knowledge of the details of the game
that men are playing around him. Yet
with all his power, this town banker
would be counted a poor man in the
city. Seldom is his annual income as
much as $4,000. But he lives in the best
house in the town. The butcher saves
his best cuts for him, the grocer puts
aside his best vegetables, and the whole
town waits to do his bidding.

LIQUOR, BEER AND TAXES.
The Expenditures of Various Nations
for Food and for Drink.

1t is a familiar assertion that more
money is spent for beer than for bread,
and if beer and whisky drinking were
done away with there would be large
saving TO the community. Whether
beer or bread costs more in year is a
question on which the statisticians do
not agree, but they are pretty generally
of the opinion that more money is spent
for notwithstanding spirits and wine
with beer-than for bread and all 9TH
er articles of nutriment made from
grain. In the United Kingdom, for in
stance, it is computed that the eXpendi-
ture for liquor in year is oO,OO0,OOO,
against & 50,O00,000 for grain. In
France the proportion was 95 to so. In
Germany, where there is relatively less
bread eaten than in France, the figures
are so to rs; in Italy they are As to AZ,
in Spain, as 80 to IS; and in the United
States as rs to GO. In all of these coun-
tries therefore, ii may be said that the
consumption of liquors exceeds in value
the consumption of grain.
The United States have long been able
to meet a considerable portion of their
current expenses from the liquor or in
ternal revenue taxes. Since 1864 there
has been a uniform tax of 81 a barrel
on beer, the governments measure of a
barrel being 81 gallons. This tax now
yields the government about $50, 100000
wear, and it has been rising steadily
When first imposed $2,00O,OOO was the
sum obtained from it. BY 1870 the
amount had risen to $4,000, 900. In 1850
it had doubled to 100000. In 1890 it
had more than doubled again, reaching
$4,000. 600. The tax on spirits is 90
| cents a gallon on the average, and this
item OF revenue yields the government
about $9N,0O0,000 a year, having more
than doubled since 1875. Whatever the
indirect effects of the sale of liquor may
be on the Inhabitants of u country, the
fact is und2niable that all civilized gov
crnmentS with scarcely any exception
get a large share of their revenues from
beer and whisky taxes. a computation
was recently made to the effect that
during the five years of the civil war
100000, GOO was raised by internal tax
alton and 1928, 100000 from tariff du-
ties. The people of every American
community spend more in a year for
bread than they do for beer, but il
whisky, wine, cordials and ale be added
the expenditure for liquors is larger
than the sum paid for bread and cake.

WEARS A MASK.
Mysterious Man Who Works in u
Maine Quarry.

A mysterious figure, with an indie
Scribable atmosphere of horror about
it, may be seen in quarry at North
Jay, Me, says the New York Journal.
1t is that of workman who wears
Ferpetually black mask. He does his
work almost like any other man, but
never utters a word. The men move
about him and speak to him, and behave
as if he differed in no wise from one OF
them.
But the stranger who sees this silent
uan with black mask in place of a
face, feels a cold chill run down his
back. The few visitors who have seen
him will never forget their experience.
The truth is that he has no face. His
name is John Mcdonald. Ten years ago
when he was working at his present
trade, he fell victim to a terrible blast
ing accident.

him. but, worst of all, how was he to
get out again? He swan round and
round and saw there was no escape.
Just then pussy, who had been watch
ing the whole proceeding with much in
terest, peeped over the edge of the jug.
Her first idea was to claw Master Mouse
out. but she hated wetting her claws.
and, being a deliberate pussy cat, she
merely looked on.
oh, Mrs. Pussy" cried Master Mouse,
save me, and l will do anything in the
world for you. l will even let you eat
me when | get out; anything, rather
than be drowned in this horrible stuff. ''
You promise?" said pussy.
Yes, | give you my word of hono",
SO just lower your beautiful tail till I
can catch hold of it and climb out"
This suited pussy's plans to a nicely.
SO she lowered her tail into the Jug.
Mousie clambered up it anu ran straight
into his hole!
Come out! you young scoundrel,"
cried pussy, you know you promised
TO let me eat you"
'Hoots, nonsense" said young mouse.
Don't you know a fellow doesn't know
what he's talking about when he's in
liquor?!!."
The family thought the beer had a
peculiar taste that day! Pussy's
thoughts are better unrecorded!
Master Mouse's thoughts were: /.
I'm a lad o PARTS" .. But l have
furnished the honor of the family"

sets from two to three p. m, the total
length of daylight being about four
hours. Remembering that the sun rises
but few degrees above the horizon
and that it is wholly obscured on
great many days, the character of the
winter months may be easily mag
med.
We are indebted to the United States
coast and geodetic survey for a series
of six months observations on the 1u-
l1on, not far from the present site of

dynamite struck him. His face was lit
orally blown off. Eyes, nose, teeth and
4 large portion of both jaws were carried

A mask of light black material was
made for him. 1t extends from the
top of the forehead to the throat, and is
strapped on securely in two places,
above the ears and around the throat.
1t serves both to spare the feelings of

The mask follows roughly the out

mouth. He is able to masticate food
slightly with the remains of his jaw.

There it is often determined whether
