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 % 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. 1t
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 grows
abundantly in the Klondike region.
The trunks even attain diameter of
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

CANNIEALS' QUElR ACTS.
Interesting Statistic IA Cc.-ard I
Eating I----rrr Flesh

Interesting Statistic IN Cc.-1rd to
Eating I-1clrr Flesh.
Manuscript recently discovered in the
neighborhood of Cairo gives some inter
esting information il regard TO canni-
halism. For thousands CT years the
fashion of eating human Hesh prevailed
in Cairo and the adjoining country. The
object, however, was not to satisfy hun
ger, but rather to honor the dead. Only
the arms and legs were eaten, and for
all we know to the contrary the remain
ing portions Of the bodies were treated
with becoming reverence.
Taking this established fact rs a
starting point, Flinders Petrie. the
eminent English archaeologist, recently
set himself to study the psychology of
anthropophagy and he was soon in pos
session of several other equally remark
able facts. For example, he learned
that OF every 100 persons who eat hui
man flesh 30 do so with the object of
honoring the dead as well as of securing
their good will, and thus obtaining for
themselves perfect happiness in the
next world. Such is the custom of the
Thibetans. as we'll as OF the Australian
and South American aborigines. The
Thibetans were especially wont to hold
most impressive religious ceremonies
while the cannibalistic feasts were go
ing on.
The Samoldes do not hesitate to eat
their parents, and in defense of their
conduct they maintain that the dead
will thus live more happily and alto
gether more comfortably in the future
life. In ancient times certain tribes
Invariably ate their deceased friends
and relatives, as they considered that
it would be a monstrous thing to hand
them over to the tender lEcrcies of the
worms. All canniDals, however, are not
actuated by such unselfish motives. Ac-
cording to a writer in the Journal deS
Debats, many can1ibals cat human flesh
efts thereby. Thus we arc told thar
10 per cent. of them eat the most stal-
wart warriors who fall in battle, with
the hope of increasing their own cour-
age, and that the; also eat dead chill
drcn, with tie object of thus recovering
their lost youth Again, ten per cent.
eat their nearest relatives through re-
ligious motives, since they hope thus to
escape the wrath Of the gods. Moreover,
five per cent. eat human flesh because
they hope in this manner to punish
those whom they are eating.
There is room for much further in
vestigation in this direction, and those
who know Mr. Petrie are confident that
he will in the near future discover many
more equally interesting facts regard
ing cannibalism-N Y. Herald.

GREAT CURIOSITY.
The Blazing Spring Washington
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 sume of the land which
helped to make him the greatest Of the
plutocrats of his day before he died.
In the Kana~ha 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 a sill
hole in the ground. When rain fell the
hole filled with water. Through the
W@tcr bubbled continuously a current
of air from some hidden source. A
burning stick held over the pool i'm
mediateIy started flame, which con-
tinucd until blown out by a strong
wind. Travellers for many years
stopped to marvel at George Washing
tons Burning Spring" This was the
discovery of natural gas, but Washing
ton and generations which followed
his time did not know it.
Forty years after Washington chris
tened the burning SPRING very de-
tcrmined citizen, enterprising as it was
understood il that time, bored for salt
water. Nc id not reach it at a depth
expected and was advised to stop. His
reply was that he woCld find salt water
or bore into HI. In a short time he
struck gas in such volume that the
boring tools were blown out. The gas
caught fire and a mass of flame shot
upward. The enterprising citizen con-
cluded that he had done it, and aban-
doned the location. Nearly 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.

Crawfish Gives Away n EIilkman.
81 have dead sure case against my
milkman," said a prominent railroad
official a day or two ago. HE waters
his milk and have, or rather my wife
has, caught him dead to rights. The
other day when we,got our usual guam
tity of milk my wife was going to pour
some from the can into a glass. She
heard something hit the glass with a
kind of dull thud and could see some
thing dark in the bottom Of the glass.
Pouring it carefully out into another
vessel, what do you suppose she found ?
A live crawfsh, by Jove. A big, lusty
fellow, who seemed just RS happy and
eontented as though he were working
on an embryo crevasse in levee. Now,
do you mean to tell me that my milk
man did not pour water into the milk .
He put great deal in it, too. The fact
probably is that he dipped big bucket
full of water up and put it in the milk.
His crawfishship got in the can that
way."-N. o. Times-Democrat.
