NEW GOVERNMENT CHART
ENLARGES OUR TERRITORY.
The eodetic Survey Reports Two
Hundred Extra Miles of Coast
Line in Alaska and New Yukon
Channel.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The discovery of
zoo miles of additional territory OF the
United States on the Alaskan coast and
OF new channel for Yukon bound yes
sells which will minimize distance, time
and danger, is officially reported TO Super
lntendent Pritchett of the coast and geo.
detic survey by John F. Pratt, an assist.
ant in charge of the expedition which
has been working in these waters
What the expansion of mileage of our
Alaskan territory is due to is not known
The opinion is it is due to previous in
accurate charts, the present being the first
regular and reliable survey of the region
The finding of a new channel will effect
Il saving of about 400 or 500 miles in
reaching the Yukon. The new channel
Just found is kuslivak, which will carry
eight feet over the bar at low water and
will permit ships of moderate draught to
Proceed directly into the Yukon from the
south and continue up the river four or
five hundred miles to safe landing before
transshipping to smaller boats, which will
90 the remainder of the way up the river
The party which has just completed the
labor is at Seattle, where the survey main
tains a branch office. 1t consisted of
about 80 men under six officers of sur
Ney. The information obtained will be
embodied in a chart which will be ready
for the use of navigation in time for the
first parties going up next spring.
The same party will return to work
next spring to complete the surveys and
the channel will be buoyed as soon as
possible.

TERROR OVER THE PLAGUE.
Vienna Fears Spread OF the
Dreaded Bubonic.

London, Oct. 24--The outbreak of Lu-
bonic plague at Vienna, due to the exper-
iments in Professor Nathnagel's bacteri-
illogical establishment in the cultivation
of the plague bicillus, has spread terror
at the Austrian capital. Five cases in ad-
dition to that of the late Herr Barische
the assistant in the establishment, who
contracted the bubonic plague while cul-
tiVating the bacillus, have now occurred
DIR. Mueller, who attended Herr Bar
ische and who was considered an author
ity on the plague, having been to Bombay
for the purpose of studying it on the spot
and he survived all the dangers there.
Extraordinary precautions have now been
taken to prevent an epidemic The plague
patients lie in an isolated building at
tended by DR.. POOch, volunteer physi
clan, and by sisters of charity.
Every person who had come in contact
with Herr Barische, principally the hos
pital attendants, has been isolated Some
OF them resisted and others tried to escape
but were captured and all were locked up.
1t is feared, however, that the precautions
were taken to late. Herr Barische was
ill for three days before he saw a doctor.
during which time he lived with his wife
and visited wine shops. The wife, who
has now developed suspicious symptoms
visited friends, rode in public omnibuscs
and came i'll contact with dozens of per
sons at her husbands funeral.
\ painful feature of the Viennese sit
uation is the INSCRIPTIONS attitude of the
anti semitic newspapers which are accus-
ing the Jewish doctors of bringing the
plague to Vienna. 1t is apparent that
this appeal to the worst passions of the
mob will lead to plague riots against the
Jews if the disease spreads.

WHAT SHALL IT BE CALLED.
another Name Suggested for the
Library MT Washington.

The name of the big library that was
organized for the use of con
press. and is now housed in the finest
building ever constructed purely for Ii
brary purposes. every now and then be-
comes subject of dispute. The library
growing up as a reference library Tor
members OF congress naturally took the
Library of Congress, but there are many
reasons for believing that statesmen early
in the days of the republic looked upon
that collection of books as national Ii
brary and favored a broader name than
the one now given it.
When jefferson sent his library of 1000
books to Washington after they had been
purchased by the government for S23,0OO
he forwarded catalogue of these books,
which he marked Catalogue Library of
the United States" This name indicates
that jefferson looked upon the library as
a national institution, and not merely as
a congressional library. 1t is not unlikely
that an effort will be made in the near
future to change the name of the big col
lection OF books to Library of the United
States"

BULB GROWING AT HOME.
The Proper Soil to Use and How to
Produce Bloom.

This is the season when the subject OF
bulbs seems uppermost, for of course, we
all want some In a general way one Is
safe in following these directions: A
sandy, porous soil is best for bulbs. The
top of the bulb should just show above
the soil Let the bulb water freely AMI
set away in the cellar for several weeks
while the roots form. When brought to
the light keep in a room where the tenn
perature is not above 20 degrees. When
the flower buds appear, be generous with
water, air and sunshine. Hyacinths.
narcissus and crocus do well grown in
water. Place in vases of water so the
bulb just touches the water Set away
in dark until the roots form, keeping up
the water supply. Tulips make nice pot
plants for winter bloom. We are full OF
this subject also, as we are expecting a
wealth of bloom from our fall and winter
bloom.
