Myrus, who tells this tale OF suffering
and despair in the far north, says the
New York Journal:
1--WE left here on March 16. 1899, on
the Narwhal and went up to cape
Nome There our troubles began. The
miners wanted provisions very badly,
and our captain sold the greater part
of our stores. After that we went on
short rations, and my matey, Elstrom,
and left the ship when of Bailey
island.
I'VE slid over the vessels side, took
three dogs. sled and some provisions
and started on 800 mile journey to
the mouth of the Mackenzie river,
where we found snow house built by
some Indians. 1t showed for two days,
and when we burrowed down to our
sled to get at our provisions we found
that the dogs had eaten everything.
"Elstrom and decided that we must
kill the dogs for food and take chances
on making the rest Of the journey on
foot shot one of them, and we drank
its blood. We were going to eat its
meat, but the next morning when we
tried to cut its hide it was frozen hard
er than iron. Then Elstrom gave up.
That day he fell asleep and never
awakened. l could not keep any track
of the time after that.
"Some days afterward l don't know
just how many, l saw sled and two
men crossing the ice not more than 500
yards away. l was frantic and fired
the rife. The men stopped and looked
around, and fired the rife again. That
seemed to decide them. They started
the dogs and were soon out of sight. l
found out afterward that they thought
that | was crazy and were afraid that
would shoot them If they came near
er. Five days after they came back,
and was saved.
"Thcy took me back to the Narwhal,
ana lay there eight days before they
did anything to my frozen legs Then
the captain Of the Grampus took them
off. They sent me home on the first
steamer which came, the Baelena."

LOEGlas In Autumn

IN some parts Of the country it is
now quite the fashion to sleep on log
glas, even children of 6 years having
their cribs placed there, says Harpcr's
bazar. When this is done, the loggia
Is inclosed with wooden walls on three
sides, the spaces between the columns
or supports not being left open. If
drafts are shut off. there is no danger
from cold and with plenty of blankets
one is more comfortable than indoors.
The thermometer can be as low as 40
without discomfort to child, and the
most restless and wakeful of children
Will sleep all night. In certain noun

on the loggia is almost universal

folk, Va, whence the Albemarle and
Chesapeake canal takes the route to
Currituck sound. Currituck sound opens
into the two great North Carolina
sounds, Albemarle and Parulico. After
going down a smaller body Of water
named Core sound we reach Beaufort,
n. G., in safety, having thus easily
avoided the well known dangers of
passing Capes Hatteras and Lookout.
From Beaufort the route is down the
coast Of North and South Carolina and
Georgia to Jacksonville, Fla, going in
side the string Of islands lying all along
this coast and taking advantage of
great number of rivers, sounds and es-
tuaries on or near the coast. From
Jacksonville the proposed route cuts d.
rectly across the Florida peninsula in a
southwesterly direction, down the SUI
wannee river, reaching the gulf ut the
mouth Of the river.
The plan is held to be perfectly feas-
ible by competent engineers and is be-
ing investigated by the government.
The greater part Of the route is along
existing natural and artificial water
ways, and the connecting canals could
easily be cut. The cost, though great,
would be justified by the absolute safe.

cheapening Of communication between

NEW WAY TO SCARE WOLVES.

Device for the Protection OF sheep
from Their Arch Enc mics.
Examiners In the patent office have
learned by experience that 1t Is mis-
take to lump at conclusions regarding
the usefulness of inventions. A con-
trivance at which they were inclined
to poke a good deal of fun. designed 10
brighten wolves on Western prairies,
was patented less than three months
ago, and already 1t has come into con-
siderable use in the sheep-grOwing dis
tricts Of that part of the country. ac-
cording to the Saturday Evening Post.
The device Is an automatic gun,
which goes off at regular Intervals,
soaring the wolves away from the
flocks. 1t consists of sort of box.
which contains a clockwork arrange
ment with small steel barrel project
ing from one end. A magazine, also
within the box. is loaded with blank
cartridges which are fired by the clock
work once In ten minutes or so. BY the
help Of simple mechanical attachment
the intervals between discharges are
made as long or as short as may be
desired.
Wolves do not attack sheep in the
daytime, and the gun needs to be In
operation only from sunset to sunrise.
1t Is at the period Of Landing that the
fiocks are In danger, the fierce wolves
raiding them and carrying off the
lambkins. and hence the apparatus de-
scribed is intended to be employed ex-
clusively during that season. 1t may
be that the wolf. which Is decidedly
intelligent animal, may learn the de-
ception after n while and realize that
the automatic gun has not man be-
hind It.
Hitherto the protection of sheep dur.
ing the lambing season on many ranch
es has been q serious problem, the
hocks being constantly harassed. Men
armed with shotguns make regular
rounds at intervals during the night,
discharging their weapons from time to
tlme-a troublesome plan. whereas 1t is
comparatively easy for patrol to in
spect, rewind and reload number of
automatic guns in various parts of
ranch once a day.

act the tvy's Effects.
Poison ivy belongs to the sumach
family and derives it's botanical nalue
from the ancient Celtic "rhudd," red.
and the Greek "toXicodendron," or poi
son plant. The origin of the poison,
which causes great suffering to many
people, was for a long while Il mystery,
AS the plant itself contains no active
poison, as do many plants, but it now
seems to be certain that the plant nour-
ishes deadly bacilli, which enter the
pores of the skin and give the poisoned
parts their characteristic appearance.
The three leaves are pale green and the
creeping plant is to be found in many
parts of the island of Montreal. 1t Is
closely related to the Rhus Venenata,
or poison sumach," sometimes, also,
called poison dogwood." Poison SUI.
mach, however, is shrub, with the
drupe greenish- yellow and only grows
In swamps. Its flowers are green and
1t Is very poisonous. The ordinary
sumach, with red fruit and crimson
hairs, Is not dangerous.
1t Is said that some people cannot go
into the neighborhood of poison ivy
without suffering from the poison Of
the plant, while others can handle 1t
without any i'll effects. Many antdOtes
to the poison have been recommended,
as it affects different people differently.
and among the most etiicacious have
been strong soapsuds and bicarbonate
of soda. One peculiarly painful result
Of rhus toXicodendron poisoning is that
with many people the parts poisoned
are liable to be affected for several
years afterward at about the same
period the disease was originally
caught. This plant grows erect as well
as decumbent, and in the former case
Is known as poison oak.
In addition to the aids of the drug
gist, however, nature is said to have
rhus toxicodendron poisoning, in the
shape of the widely spread flower
known as spotted touch-me-not," or
"Impatiens fulva." 1t Is also called the
"jewel weed" ana is very abundant in
the water courses during June and
July. when the rhus toxicodendron and
the rhus venenata are most poisonous.
The color of the flower of spotted
touch-me-not" is a deep orange and the
spots are of reddish brown. The lip
forms a sac, not very much unlike the
moccasin flower. and 1t ends In a
curved spur. The seed pods burst II
slightly touched and scatter the seeds
all around. TO this peculiar property
the plant owes it's common name. 1t Is
also called "noli.me-tangre" and my
touchez pas" The remedy Is applied
by expressing the juices Of the plant
and applying the same to that part OF
the skin which has been poisoned.
