No trees grow anywhere ON the
coasts of western or northern Alaska,
and yet these shores for thousands OF
miles and the islands of Boring sea
arc strewn with immense quantities Of
driftwood. in places piled high on the
beach, bearing good testimony to the
work of the rivers. This drift Is the
salvation of the Eskimo, furnishing
him with fuel and material for houses,
boats and sleds. The entire northeast
ern half of Boring sea is very shoal,
less than 500 feet in depth. while the
southwestern half is $4,000 feet deep.

MATTHEW CALBRAITH PERRY.
by reason of the part he took in the
war of 1872. but it is doubtful if he ac-
complished as much for the lasting
good of the country as did Matthew.
Born in Newport, r. l., April 10, 1894,
the latter entered the navy as mid
shipman in 1909 and served on the
schooner Revenge, under his brother,
Oliver, for one year. Then he went
aboard the flagship President and for
three years was trained under Com
modore Rodgers. 1t was from this boat
that the first hostile shot of the war
of 1872 was fired, when Rodgers chased
the Belyidera. Subsequently this ves-
sci. which is now used as a receiving
ship in the British navy, cruised the
seas of northern Europe as a commerce
destroyer and at one time 20 ships
were searching for it. His first inn
portant post was executive officer of
the Cyane, which conveyed colony
of negroes from this country to Africa,
and 1t was he who selected the site of
Monrovia, the present capital of LII
IBERIA. These negroes were sent out
under the auspices Of the Colonization
Society, Congress having appropriated
s100, 900 for the purpose of carrying
back to Africa such slaves as had been
surreptitiously imported. Perry took
an important part in establishing their
settlement Upon his return from this
trip he
Fortified Out Pirates
in the West Indies and subsequently
went to Mexico where he studied the
Spanish language until he had become
proficient. He protected American
commerce against Greek pirates dur
ing the revolution in that country in
the early '20's. In 1929, when John
Randolph went as envoy to the Gar,
Perry commanded the vessel which
carried him thither and which was the
| first American man-of-war to enter
Russian waters. Nicholas wanted to
confer high honors upon Perry, but
the latter preferred his humber station
in the American navy to place under
the Gar. Mehemet Ali, conqueror of
Khartoum and founder of the Khe-
dival dynasty of Egypt, was the next
celebrity to entertain him. He was
with Commodore Patterson when the
latter made a brilliant naval demon
stration in the harbor of Naples, fore
ing Ferdinand 1. and Count Cassaro to
pay the spoliation claims urged by
President Jackson.
For 10 years succeeding 1888, he was
on shore duty and studied the science
of naval warfare, originating many i'm
provements the adoption of which
tended to strength the navy. When he
again went on sea duty 1t was to com
mand an S0-gun squadron in Africa in
1s4S-5 and to enforce the Webster.
Ashburton treaty. During the Mexican
war he had charge of the steam navy
and at the siege of Vera Cruz 1t was
men from his ship who reduced the
wall to rubbish and made breach
large enough to enable Scott's army
to dictate terms and proceed into tn,
interior.

enterprises, he proceeded to Japan will

-Clarksburg is up against two cases
OF mysterious disappearance,
One dates back one week and the
other two weeks. The most recent Is
the case OF Harry +. Lloyd. promi-
nent church worker and Odd Fellow.
and one of the lessees of the Mail and
Advertiser. Lloyd left Sunday night
one week ago and nothing has been
heard of him since. He left owing
several hundred dollars borrowed
money. and his one time friends are
not expecting him back. The other Is
that of Jacob PARCEL, Charleston
stonemason, who had employment here
up to the last of September. when his
friends stated that he disappeared A
search was made at his boarding house
and half finished letter addressed to
his brother was found. in which moth
ing but satisfaction and contentment
appeared. His personal effects were
intact and nothing had been removed.
1t is thought he has been dealt with
foully. Relatives at Charleston have
been notified but nothing has been
heard of him there.

HERR MOST GETS A YEAR.
Was Sentenced to That Term in New

York, Yesterday.
NEW YORK, October 14.-Johann
Most. the anarchist, was sentenced to
one year in the penitentiary to-day in
the court of special sessions, for pub
fishing in his paper. the Freiheit, an
alleged seditious article on the day
following the shooting of the late
President Mckinley.
The article in question was entitled
Murder against Murder"
In his defense Most claimed that the
paper containing the article was print
ed and ready for distribution before
the President was snot Also that it
was quotation from an article pub
lished fifty years ago and re-published
by him fifteen years ago. After inn
posing the sentence, Justice Hinsdale
read the opinion of the court in which
he said:
1T Is no answer to the evil and
criminal answer of this article to claim
that it was written for the purpose of
destroying crowned heads. 1t incul-
Gates and inforces the idea that mur-
der is the proper remedy to be applied
against rulers. The fact that it was
published fifty years ago and again re-
published about fifteen years ago only
emphasizes and gives added point to
the criminality Of re-publishing 1t at
any time. 1t shows deliberate in
tent to inculcate and promulgate the
doctrines OF the article. This We hold
to be a criminal act. 1t is not neces-
sary to trace any connection in this

asylum in a few days. Frank Stewart
is a young man, about z2 or % years

education. During the LAST six months
he has been acting queer, and spent
most of his time at home, paying
little attention to anyone. For hours
he would sit in chair and pay no at
