WHERE TWILIGHT LASTS LONG
Sl<aE any Now Has Barely Five Hours
of Darkness Out of Tween
ty-EOur.

Nov is a good time for people who
love long hours Of daylight to sojourn
for awhile at Skaguay," said K. f. Lyle,
Of Seattle, TO a Washington Post man.
1T doesn't begin TO grow dark up
there till $50 in the evening. and dawn
comes about 2:30 a. m. Five hours of
darkness and 10 hours of light make a
rather queer day to folks who are used
to more equal division Of thu two. To
see people up and working 4! an hour
when citizens in the states are peaceful
~ snoring the hours away struck me as
a very novel sight. ! don't mean TO say
that everybody gets up early in Skag-
uay. In fact, l suppose that on the aver
age people there sleep just as many
hours as they do anywhere else.
Il is a hustling little town, and every
man in il believes il is going TO be the
metropolis of Alaska. They will tell
you that when they get railroad built
into the interior Of the country Skaguay
will be TO the territory what New York is
to the east and San Francisco is to the
Pacific coast. They have a daily paper,
a stFam-heated theater, a brewery, and
nearly all other conveniences of modern
life"

Because the Famine In Havana To-
bnccO Has at Last BECOME
Reality.

The much-talked-o1 and long-ex-
Dected tobacco famine is here. Before
the war with Spain began the air was
filed with prophecies of such famine.
The Cuban rebellion was on, but stu
there was genuine Cuban tobacco TO
be had. AS the rebellion dragged
along stories were heard about the
price of tobacco going up aud the
quality going down. But Havana to-
bacco was still to be had for price.

THEORY OF SUNSTROKE.
An Infectious Dfsease-ls Not Due to
Heat to Exposure to
the sun.

Dr.. Sambon adopts what TO many viii
be startling theory 10 explain the ac-
ton OF sunstroke, says the Los Angeles
Times. He regards this affection as not
due TO excessive heat or exposure 10 the
sun. but 10 an infectious disease caused
BY a specific organism. He atTeSts the
fact that strokeTs, oven cleaners, min
ers and iron workers are exposed 10
temperatures higher than those Of any
known climate without ever contract
ing the maIady. and that the Assam tea.
although constantly working in the
hottest sun, are equally exempt.
DIR. Sambon, discussing the geograph-
zeal distribution of the disease, goes on
10 prove that the areas in which il is
epidemic are strictly defined. While
unknown in Europe, il is common in the
low-lying regions of the eastern United
States between the Appalachians aud
the Atlantic Il extends along the Nile
sea. the Red sea and the Persian gulf
II prevails in the interchangeable alluyial
plain. but not on the ad jacent Indian
highlands. In support of his infection
theory DR.. SambOn refers to the occur
renee Of epidemics which have frequent
~ decimated hospital wards and not af-
fected men exposed to greater heat and
sun. The demonstration of the organic
origin of the malady rests on its dis
tribution etiology. morbid anatomy and
epidemic character. The specific or
ganism has not been detected, but DR..
Sambon's Investigations incline him to
the belief that il lives in the superficial
