CULVER's HARD PLAY.
Lewis Institute Defeated by the Mar
row Margin OF One Point.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
CULVER, Ind, Nov. 9.-Lewis Institute
lost her first game of the season TO tho
cadets this afternoon by a score Of 6 TO 3.
Both touchdowns came in the first half.
Lewis kicked OF and Culver took the bail
back to the center Of the field, where il
went 70 the institute on downs. Here Lewis
worked her double pass twice for ten Yards
and carried the ball TO the cadets thirty
yard line, where Hora went over for the
first touchdown. After the second kick-oe
the cadets used Baucus. the Is5-poun1
tackle, to carry the ball, and he seldom
failed to gain his distance. Koontz and
Van Ryper carried the end and Baucus
went over for a touchdown. Horne kicked
goal. All but two minutes Of the second
half was played within Lewis's twenty-five
yard line, and twice the cadets were within
a yard OF the goal. Lewis played desper-
ately, however, and kept the score down.

ALASKAN POSSIBILITIES.
* THEN the time came for Governor John c.
Nv Brady of Alaska to issue his Thanksgiving

' o S 5 '% tn s5 5 Ii. s@
proclamation last month he began by say
ing: eve in Alaska, in comparing blessings
with those which friends enjoy in other places,
find that have much for which to be thankful
Some things and constant with us
that scarcely appreciate them-our equable eli
mate and the abundance of rain. The terrible heat
of the past in the East did not disturb our
comfort, but aroused sympathies for those who
had to endure it. Drought and arid wastes we can
not complain of. We have an abundance of grass,
and where have attempted till the earth it has
yielded many fold and those who have tried it are
satisfied that greater things in store for them"
When the Alaskan gives thanks for his climate
and for the abundance of grass and the bright pros
poets of his agriculture inclined to believe
joke is intended. However, there is no Joke in the
Governors proclamation He went on to point out
that in addition the equability of the climate the
abundant rainfall, the absence of torrd heats the
prouson of grass and the prospects of good results
from the tilage of the SOIL the people of Alaska have
reason to be thankful because their fisheries are
profitable and the mineral wealth is more promising
than ever before Now all of those statements, with
the exception of that referring the climate are in
dorsed to extent in the official report of the
Secretary of the Interior.
When William II. Seward induced the Government
of the United States to pay large sum of money
for Alaska he was ridiculed, and his purchase was
made the subject of end of testing and sarcasm
In fact Congress was induced to carry out the pur-
chase more out of friendship to Russia than out of
any liking for Alaska. Events have proven that
Seward builded wiser than he knew Alaska is really
rich country in its way and is worth many times over
the price that paid for it. In fact it stated bv
the Secretary that from the Nome district alone the
output of gold this is estimated at $1,000 ooo
just about the that Seward paid for the whole
vast region.
The productiveness of Alaskan gold fields is, how
ever, by no means so interesting story just now as
that portion of the report relating to the possibilities

The Moon Is Receding.

Scientists say that the moon Is recedine
farther and farther from the earth. ans
will continue to recede for countless ages
until the terrestrial day is shorter than the
lunar month. Millions Of years ago. when
the earth was a molten mass, it revolved
around it's axis once every five or six
hours. The moon then was part of the
earth, but in time was broken off and be-
came it's satellite.
AS the motion of the earth decreased
and the day became longer, the distance
of the moon became greater Our day
is now tWenty-fOur hours long and the
moon is 240,OO0 miles away. As the length
of the terrestrial day increased so did he

of tlng the Alaskan soil and getting from it enough
in the way of food enable any considerable popu
lation to live there and enjoy that climate.
The report says that market gardens now found
near Skagway, Dawson and Eagle and at various
points in Central and Southern Alaska. 1t Is added
that along the banks of the great rivers there vast
tracts of arabic land. Hay can be cured in the val
legs to the north of the Coast Range but along the
southern coast the frequent rains render the drying
of hay difficult matter. In that region, however,
the silo has been used with success In fact, such
experiments as have been made in the way of agri-
culture market-gardening in Alaska have been so
successful as to lead the Governor to recommend an
increased appropriation for an extension of the ex
pertinent stations.
1t will be that Governor Brady's Thanksgiv-
ing exuberance not without something of reason
to justify it. It may be long time before people will
go to Alaska for equable climate, but there seems
every assurance that it may develop into country
where high degree of the comfort of civilization
may be maintained. At any rate, it must be crafty
ing to the pioneers of the Territory to know that
their Governor is boomer and not pessimist. He
is not going to give Alaska black eye either in
official report or Thanksgiving proclamation.

Initiates Sumatra Spots.


Even if Connecticut has lost the art of
making wooden nutmegs, it still possesses
similar ingenuity in other directions In
the efforts of the tobacco growers of that
State to drive the Sumatra wrapper leaf
from the market they have evolved 4
means of artificially producing the light
brown spots that are found in the Sumat-
ra leaf, and which is one of the char
acteristics that give it popularity with
smokers.
For many years experimenters were try
ing to produce these spots in the domestic
leaf, but any preparation that was strong
enough to spot the leaf was strong enough
to burn a hole through it, anu spoil it.
Now a spotting fluid has been discovered,
and plants still standing are sprayed with
it.
The man who does the spraying takes
a bottleful of the yellow caustic potash
mixture, inserts in the neck metal plug
with the spraying attachment, and starts
down the tobacco row, giving each plant
a dose as he passes. And thus Connecti-
cut tobacco with Sumatra tobacco spots
is prepared for the market and the
smoker.
+sWhy don't you put on your hat, my
boy?" remarked the summer boarder.

wet hair an dad ketches me there'n be
a son struck, anyhow. "-Philadelphia
