BRIDGING BEHRING SEA.
Results of the Deposit of Immense
Quantities of Debris by the
Mighty Yukon River.

Prof. W. ]. McGee, of Washington,
declares that two slow but interesting
changes are taking place in Behring
sea. The immense quantity Of debris
THAI is borne down the Yukon from its
sources and sides is being deposited in
the sea beyond the mouth of that
mighty stream, and its weight causes
the bed of the sea tc subside. A cor
responding rise in the earth's crust is
produced along the chain of the Aleu-
tian islands. Now, not only are the
islands themselves increasing in size
in consequence of being lifted up out
of the water, but new islands are being
formed in the gaps between the others.
In some instances the new islands are
the result OF the rise, and in others
they are the result of volcanic action.
Most Of the Aleutians are of volcanic
origin, and they mark the position of
a fold in the earth's crust that is pre-
disposed to eruption. In time, Prof.
McGee says. there is likely to be a nat
ural bridge from America to Asia along
this route, but he admits that nobody
now living is going to see it.

Increasing Medical Efficiency.

The requirem ent ofthe State Medi.
cal council with respect to full four
years medical course as prerequisite
to license to practice is in the line
of increased medical efficiency. No
one will question that the public de-
serves this protection at the hands of
the medical council, and that the
state where medical efficiency is most
safely guarded represents a higher
level of social organization than those
states where the bars are down. At
the same time, it must strike the
average observer that the present
situation in Pennsylvania is to a slight
extent ludlcrously paradoxical, when
the law, as enforced, allows quackery
to flourish while the conditions ad-
mlttlng to regular practice grow strict.

The Editors Calling and Work.

Col. Pat. Donan, the famous orator
of the Great West and past master of
journalism, thus portrays the life of
the country editor:
"Work, work. work! The editor in
his dingy, ink-grimed den, finds his
work, like woman's never done. He
has to write politics, elections, relg-
ION, history, statistics, business, fin
ance, railroads, steamboats,, improve
ments and disimprovements. He has
to write distinguished arrivals, stray
mules, notices, crops, weather, mar
kets, crimes and rascalities, wherein
is embraced much of the politics of the
day. He has to write personal notices
often of numbskulls and nobodes
births, deaths, marriages and other
calamities, removals, sales, trades,
exchanges and failures, preeminently
conspicuous among which come most
of the statesmen and craftsmanship of
these latter days. He has to write
putfs of new exchanges and new ad-
vertisers, puffs of muddle headed
speakers, and nimble-footed dancers,
puffs of reopened theatres, banooms
and churches, puffs of sermons, bal
lads, bishops, and puffs of people that
puff him. He has to write descriptions
of balls, picnics, concerts, revlvals and
smashups, extravaganzas or barbecues,
rallies, reunions and mass meetings ;
dissertations on fashions, essays on
morality, and criticisms on the follies
of the day, ard subscribers who do
not pay.
"Daily and hourly he must run the
whole gamut of emotions, and tear the

He must be glad to hear this, and

wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
