call the "monotony," although to the
lover of nature in it's wildness, the
journey is far from monotonous or
fatiguing. The luxurious sleeping and
dining cars relieve fatigue and one
grows to love this wild, rugged country
which through mans ingenuity is
opened up to wondering humanity.
Whatever else may be forgotten in this
busy life of ours, the remembrance of
this glorious trip of nearly twelve
thousand miles across the American
continent, and to the far-Off lands of
Alaska, and the return through the
Queens dominons, will never be OBJ
liberated from our memory. as the
most enjoyable and educational of all
our travels.
We have taken our readers over the
entire Northern Pacific railway and its
branches a continuous line of glitter
ing steel covering nearly five thousand
miles to the Pacific coast. We have
crossed the longest rivers, the greatest
lakes, the richest grain fields, the most
barren deserts of the United States; we
have stood together amidst the boiling
springs and active geysers from the
"underland world and feasted our
eyes on the great lakes, waterfalls,
and grand canyons of Yellowstone
Park and on the glaciers of the ice
fields of Alaska.
We have crossed the snow crowned
Cascades under the eye of the yener-
able Mount Tacoma, and from the
dazzling brightness of that great
white Throne" we have descended to
the rich valley of Puget Sound and
traversed the placid waters of that
great inland sea for hundreds of miles.
We have sailed the great inland ocean
for nearly three thousand miles in
Alaskan waters to the land of the
midnight sum-" and to within six de-
grees of the Arctic Circle. We have
stood at the foot of the Mount st. Elias
Alps and viewed their hoary submits
piercing heavenward through the
clouds to nearly four miles above our
feet. We have walked to the summit of
Muir Glacier" the greatest glacier in
the world and entered its glittering ice
caves, and subterranean passages, and
there seen the swiftly flowing river
and listened with bated breath to the
roar of its hidden water falls. Stand
ing near We have witnessed acres of
topping pinnacles fall with the crash
OF cannon hundreds of feet into Glacier
Bay, sinking for minutes, only to rise
full-tiedged icebergs amid floating
fields of ice. We have sailed among
these icebergs of Glacier Bay and navi-
gated the most perilous rivers, straits,
and ravines in our Great American
Archipelago, and traVersed ravines
where only the gray wing of the soll-
tary eagle, and the dark form of the
solitary Indian are seen and the mourn
full howl of the wild beasts is heard in
the solitude of the forest. We have
visited the great and most noted mis-
sion stations, Indian "rancheries," and
Indian schools, and also Indian fish
cries on the continent and in Alaska
and have been rewarded by some of
I the largest catches known to sports
men. We have entered the greatest
gold, silver, and copper mines in
America and witnessed their workings.

Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
Quebec, Oct. 1, 1S96--In journeying
from Montreal to Quebec, the tourist
has the choice of three routes-either
by the Grand Trunk railway down the
south shore of the st. Lawrence, or by
steamer down the mighty stream it
self, or by the Canadian Pacific. We
chose the latter route, which Is five
hours ride, q rapid and luxurious trip
in way of equipment, but in the way
of landscape there is little variety.
Leaving Montreal, the train follows
around the base of Mount Royal and
soon reaches st. Martin Junction,
where is the Provincial penitentiary.
Soon we come to long stretch of low
land extending for miles back from the
st. Lawrence river and closely cultivat-
ed and cut up into the small fields that
characterize the French farms
throughout the old parts of Quebec
the result of continual subdivisions of
bequeathed estates. This curious
French custom of dividing estates
equally among the owners heirs, Civ
ing each portion of the sub divided
farms a like river frontage, often make
them only three or four hundred feet
wide, but running back for several
miles.
Here are fifteen of these compact
French villages which vary in popula-
tion from 1000 to $500 each. The peo-
pie are prosperous and happy and re-

ceed to st. Paul and interview Charles
5. Fee, General Passenger Agent, or
Advertising Passenger Agent o. ID.
Wheeler, who will gladly furnish all
needed information, especially that per-
tanning TO Yellowstone Park. Our
advice is; Go! go! and by all means
make a three months tour of it. Do
not try to take all of this in one un-
broken trip. A hurried trip places too
much strain upon brain and body. The
eye loses power of discrimination, so
fast do scenes of grandeur and beauty
crowd upon the view.
BY WAY OF RECAPITULATION
With this, our siXty-first letter. we
close our series of "travel-letters"
among the "Wonderlands of North
America" While our journey together
has certainly been a long continuous
one, il has been one that could scarce
ly fail to interest the most Indifferent
of travellers. our return trip through
the Queens domain has been one of
special delight. The comforts of trav-
el as just described sro such that it is
simply a prolonged pleasure trip
throughout, with pleasahr breaks here

THE DEEPEST LAKE,
Only One Body of Fresh Water in the
World ls Deeper.

From the Philadelphia Times.
Crater lake, in Oregon, is the deep
est body of fresh water in America.
Only one lake in the world is deeper,
namely, Baikal, which exceeds it in
depth by about 400 feet. Until recently
it was asserted that Crater lake was
bottomless, but soundings have proved
that its greatest depth is 1000 feet. 1t
is five miles in diameter, nearly circu-
lar, and occupies the crater of an eX-
tinct volcano.
No fish has ever been known to exist
in Crater lake. Not long ago a request
that 1t be stocked with trout was sent
to Washington by the Mazamas, who
are club of mountain climbers hav-
ing headquarters at Portland. Maza-
ma is the Indian name for mountain
goat. The climbers are anxious to
angle in this extinct crater, and the
government experts are going to md
out whether or not such a thing is
practicable. 1t is easy enough to put
trout into the water, but that would be
of no use unless there is food for them
there. Trials will be made by an ex-
pedition, for the purpose of ascertain
ing how much food there is. and

whether or not it is of a kind suitable
for sDeckled beauties to browse upon.
This will be accomplished by towing
small nets of gauze along the surface
of the water. The water viii flow
through the gauZe, which will catch all
the animalculae that come in its way.
The quantity of the latter secured in
a given number of minutes or hours
Will be an accurate measure of the
quantity of fish food present. They
will be bottled and preserved in forma-
line for subsequent examination by a
specialist who will determine the
species represented.
A most interesting series of expert
ments will be made for the purpose of
ascertaining the temperature of the
water at various depths. No tempera-
ture observations have ever been taken
in fresh water nearly so far down.
With this end in view an equipment of
sef-regstering thermometers and sup
Elementary apparatus will be taken
and will be let down by means of
sounding lines.

and traverse the Queens domain by
the Canadiaq Pacific railway to Mont
real and Quebec, or vice-versa. From
Whichever way the tourist comes,
Montreal is regarded as either the in
itlal or terminal point of transcon-
tinental journey, for it is the principal
eastern terminus of this great national
highway, not only of the main line,
but of numerous branches extending to
Quebec, New Brunswick, and Nova
Scotia

OF Value to the Reader.

The Scranton Tribune has issued its an
nual political Handbook" which makes
a handsome book of over 200 pages. 1t
has many excellent features, among
which we may mention a daily resume of
the occurrences in Scranton during the
past year, a full account of all the more
important political events, political tables
relative to the state and entire country,
legal information, population, pensions
and hundred other things, all of which
will be found of great value to the gen
eral reader. The Tribune deserves much
credit for its enterprise.

Several fine publications from the news,

these Is the Scranton Tribune's Political

parture from old methods, containing po-
litical, census and other statistics of ma
ton, state and county, with a wealth of
other information. The book contains
over 200 pages, is indexed, and represents
a vast amount of painstakng labor.

spring or autumn, and it must forever
