The People Nearest the Pole.

The Etahs, handful of Eskimos
numbering probably 100 persons, are
the most northern people of the world.
They have their abiding place on the
west coast of Greenland, between 10
and 70 degrees north latitude. For
many years after DR.. Kane came home
with his vivid and absorbing story Of
these isolated natives they were sup
posed to have built their stone huts
nearer the pole than any other human
beings. 1t is known now, however,
thanks to Bass Is, Mares and Greedy,
that there are numerous traces OF hu-
man occupancy as far north as the
eighty second parallel, and so long ago
was it that they built their huts and
sledges and hunted the bear and walrus
in the far north of Grant Land that the
Etah natives of today have only the
dimmest and most uncertain traditions
of them. Dispatch.

Seattle and San FRANCISCO have received

Wheel Riding and AlbuminurIa.

1t is now generally acknowledged fact
that severe physical exercise, notably ex-
cessive bicycle riding, is as surely as an
oyerindulgonce in beer promoter of al
buminuria. The insurance companies have
taken cognizance of this fact, and the sub
ject was discussed recently at a meeting OF
the Association of Life Insurance Medical
Directors, held in New York. DIR. +.
Glover Lyon Of London, secretary of tho
British Life Insurance association, took
part in the discussion. DR.. J. c. Young
of Newark, n j., read a paper on "Albu-
minuria A" DR.. George +. Shrady said:
"NIen in training for severe form OF
sports are seldom in good health, although
they think they are 1t is the vital organs
and not big muscles that fit a man for IA
long and healthy life A person should not
be examined for Insurance when he is in
training. Anything that calls for great
temporary exertion of muscular force Will
produce temporary albuminuria.

Jack High! Don't know anybody OF
that name. You never heard me men,
ton his name, did you?
Certainly. That is the reason l ask
ed you about him..
"When did speak of him?'

Though of course if you had met him
then you would have remembered 1T

after you went to bed-you got home
about 2 O'Clock, John-you fell into a
troubled sleep. You muttered good
deal, but could not distinguish any
thing very clearly except the name OF
Mr.. High-Jack High, you called him.
Once l thought heard you mention
woman's name-Kitty - but I'm not
sure. -
Mrs. Eastlake looked narrowly at hel

at her suspiciously and then said:

Waves supply the Motive Power.

A little boat, the recent invention of
Secretary Linden of the geological station
at Naples, is propelled by two hinged pad
dies which are acted upon by the motion
of the waves The forward and aft ends
of the boat are provided with vertical steel
rods At the end of these steel rods, which
are dipped into the sea, wedge shaped
plates of spring steel of great fineness are
fastened horizontally with the wide and
thin end away from the boat. The rougher
the sea the faster this craft will travel. 1t

WORMS MARCH AND SWIM.
A Peculiar Species of Insect Makes an
Appearance In New Mexico.


Samuel Eldodt, territorial treasurer,
took to Santa Fe recently from his
farm in Espanola valley sample dozen
of a colony of peculiar worms that had
been passing through that section OF the
Rio Grande valley for three days previous
". The colony came down from the Santa
Fe mountains on the east and is moving
westward with great regularity, covering
n ground space of about four square miles.
No crops were molested, but they devoured
the Wild Virginian in the foothills and the
cabbage plants in the valley fields as they
moved along. Do
When they arrived at the Rio Grande,
the front column, nearly six miles in
length, never faltered, but dropped into
the water and started for the west bank.
Millions of them were carried down by the
swift ourrentJ but millions more reached
the other shore and again took up their
westward march. The insects are from Is
to inches in length, having a brown body
with yellow and red markings, and pro-
| lection from the back near the tail IN the
shape of a sharp horn. No such visitation
was ever before known in that locality,
and nobody here can classify the worms

ALASKA GOLD FEVER.
1t Fastens Its Grasp Upon the City of New
York.

New York, July 20.-New York has
been touched with the Alaska gold fever.
The past twenty-four hours has seen
come to the front at least 1900 ar
gonauts, who will be on the way to the
Klondyke region just as soon as ar
engagements can be made for transporta-
ton. This city furnished more forty
miners" than any state i'm the Union.
1t would not be strange at all if this city
should within the next six months, as
suming a confederation OF the present
marvelously favorable reports be more
largely represented in the boats slowly
stemming the currents of the Yukon than
the entire Pacific coast.
Some notion Of how the craze Is
spreading may be had from the fact that
within forty-eight hours an advertise
ment calling for those who desired 10
join an expedition to Alaska and who
had from $500 to $4,000 to invest was
answered by more than 1000 applicants.

Kansas City for two weeks and have

empty freight cars, of which there are

HYDRoPHoBIA TO KILL WOLVES.
Scheme to Rid Wyoming of the Ravenous
Beasts.

Wyoming rancbmen for long time
have been trying to devise schemes for ex-
terminating the wolves, which destroy
thousands of young cattle yearly. Boun-
ties on sealps were found To be too slow.
Emil Stritz has finally arranged plan OF
incubation that he says will soon destroy
all the wolves in the west. He has "a pol
son which, when introduced into the blooo
of wolf, produces hydrophobia within
ten days. He has captured number in
traps and has experimental with them.
He has released number of them, and
wolves showing signs of hydrophobia have
been seen in various places The inventor
is working to have the Stockmen's associ-
alton contract with him for the exterml-
nation of all the wolves in the state. The
only obstacle to the agreement is the young
mans inability to give the stockmen as
surance that the wolves will not in turn
bite the stock and spread the disease all
over the range, with the most disastrous
| results. Chicago Record.
