During the past year an officer OF
the Coast Survey traversed the front
of the Yukon delta. the first white
man who had ever followed this shore.
He was accompanied by three men,
and the party, with all their provis-
ions and camp outfit, was carried In
an open canoe and n small rowboat
At the river mouths here is compare

coast, but between these the distlnc-

at low tide may be n mile or more in

OF its shallowness this part of Bering

Shark skins and shark Fins.

In all the equatorial islands of the
north and south Pacific shark fishing
is a very profitable industry to the Aa-
tives, and every trading steamer and
sailing vessel coming into the ports
of Sydney or Auckland from the ISL
ands of the mid-Paciic brings sOme
tons OF fins, tails and skins OF sharks.
The principal markets for the former
are Hong Kong and Singapore. but the
Chinese merchants of the Australia
sian colonies will always buy sharks
fins and tails at from sixpence to elev-
enpence per pound, the fins bringing
the best price on account of the larger
amount Of glutinous matter they con-
tain, for which they are highly rel,
ished by the richer classes of Chinese
as a delicacy. The tails are also ap-
preciated as an article of food in
China, and, apart from their edible
qualities they have n further value as
base for clear Sarnishes, etc. 1t Is
stated. on the authority of a Chinese
tea merchant, that the glaze on the
paper coverings OF tea chests is due
to n preparation composed principally
of the refuse of sharks fms, tails and
skins. All the natives of the Gilbert,

islands are expert shark fishermen,

The EnglIsh Arc Un1nI1ltnrr.

Partly from historical and partly,
perhaps, from racial causes, the Eng
lish are essentially unmilitary. They
resent the control of soldiers. They
distrust military ideals. No Govern
ment that ever existed in this country
was more unpopular than that Of Oil
YER Cromwell and his Major Generals.
Its unpopularity left an indelible
mark on English institutions. For
many years it made 1t impossible to
have standing army. Even when
the course OF events made it necessary
to concede that much 10 the military
necessities of the time. it stlll remained
q maxim for centuries with all politi-
clans that as little power as possible
must be granted to the soldiers-that
their business was to fight our wars.
and this being done that there was
little or no place for them in the body
polite. We do not think It necessary
to defend this attitude Of mind. Like
most popular feelings. It is largely un-
just, but also. like many popular feel
ings, 1t is based TO some extent ON a
true conception. Politically, using the
word In its largest sense. the DONNA
ton OF the military idea In State is
calamitous. 1t tends, we believe, to
destroy individuality, and is n serious
menace to individual liberty. The

shaving Alike May Cause Them.
Contrary to the common belief boils
ARE not indicative OF blood disease.
They are really indications of local
poisoning by puss-bearlng germs. and
the boil Is an abscess. Every pus
prick. every scratch. every abrasion,
every cut with razor or pocketknife.
every splinter that enters the skin
may cause n boil Nor need the wound
be a serious one: Il may be so minute
as 70 be invisible to the unalded eye.
Nor Is the result always produced. for
II II should be. every slight wound,
every thorn prick. every scratch of
cat. every bite OF a dog. every abra-
sion OF the skin. would be followed
by disastrous, IL not fatal. conse-
quences. The reason for this immu-
nifty Is that there is a certain inherent
power OF the body TO resist these nox-
ious agents. and Il Is only when the
powers OF the body are weakened by
disease that the morblfic agents can
thrive In the body and accomplish
their evil work.
In this sense, then. bOlls are dis
eases due of the blood. but II is not a
disease 10 itself. High living also IA
yors boils. DR.. Reid, speaking OF pus.
and incidentally OF boils, says: Job
was probably run down by long pc
Rod OF debauchery. We read that the
devil had him In tow some time before
his boils broke out If. now. he could
have had the counsel OF three good
physicians. instead Of as many tire
some theologians, he would have had
his system toned up; his broken pots
herd. with which he scraped himself
withal.' thus spreading sympathy and
infection. would have been taken from
him. and he would have been taught a
few lessons In sanitary science in
stead OF T. yiogy."
The reason why II boil Is always in
the worst place is because that is the
most exposed place. The back of the
neck, where the collar rubs the mi
crobes into the skin; the wrist, where
the cuffs irrltate. and make the en-
trance OF germs more easy; the top OF

whether IL will disappear entirely we
do not yet know.
No astronomer now doubts that these
stars existed before they blazed up in
this way. oaly they were so much
smaller as not 20 be noticeable. A most
interesting and important question Is
what was the cause OF such an out
burst OF light! Is 1t possible that our
sun may increase it's light and heat In
the same wRy2 Even were this posi-
BILE. the chances for such an occur
renee would be too small to cause CON
Germ to the most timid person. Out OF
n hundred million stars scarcely one I'm
l Z.
our sun were as liable to the accident
as any other star. we should probably
have to wait millions of years before
II occurred.
The actual cause OF such an increase
OF light Is quite unknown to us. Per-
haps the most plausible explanation Is
that one star fell into another. A col
lislon between these two bodies would
result In an enormous evolution OF
light and heat. such rs we see In the
cases OF new stars. But I'm the present
state OF our knowledge this Is little
more than n surmise. The wisest as
tronomer acknowledges that he does
not know the cause OF the outburst.
What gives most color TO the idea Of
a collision Is that the most recent re-
searches on the nature OF the stars
show that they ure very different from
each other in their physical constitu-
ton and density. Many OF them are
little more than bright bubbles OF heat
ed gas. lighter and thinner thnn air.
but enormously compressed by the
weight OF their superficial parts which
bear upon the interior. II such n COM
pressed gas were struck by moving
star. the result would be an explosion
like that Of n bombshell. This would
account both for the rapid rise of the
stars brilliancy and it's slow fading
away. Additional FEASIBILITY is given
to this view by the fact that no such
star has ever been known to blaze
out more than once. Whether when It
fades away II sinks back into It's form
er inslgnifcance, no one knows. There
Is only one case In which a star previ-
ously known and recorded thus burst
forth. That was In 1865. In this case
tho star did sink TO just about its
former brightness.-Phlladelphia Pub
