OF work to clear the pipes.
The announcement that party OF sci
entifc men will leave Vancouver for
Alaska next June to study the so-called
Silent City" mirage directs attention 10
a phenomenon which has been the sub
ject of much discussion during the last
ten or twelve years. AS long ago as 1887
a mining prospector who had explored
Southern Alaska extensively created a
sensation in Juneau and gave newspaper
correspondents a frst-class topic by eX-
hibiting a photograph which he pretended

pector, one Wiloughby, was particu arly
familiar with the region about Glacier
bay, and is said to have piloted Prof.

timony of great value is that offered by
Dr. Filippo de Filippi, who accompanied
the Duke of Abruzzi to Alaska in 1897
and subsequently wrote an account OF

in the current number of the Stoma-
tologist DR.. S. H. Guilford discusses the

from teeth filed with amalgam. The
subject is one of utmost Importance, as
many physicians have gone to the ex-
tent of making their patients either nave
the teeth extracted, or gold filings put
in where amalgam filling were. In
filing a decayed tooth the dentist first
removes as much as. possible of the de-
cayed matter, and after disinfection of
the cavity fills ii with an alloy of cop
per and silver, which is dissolved in
mercury. Or. Guilford maintains that
there is no danger from mercury poison
ing, as mercury is utterly insoluble in any
of the secreions of the body except
when conN erted into salts by strong
mineral acids and these do not exist in
the human system. Should any metal
lie mercury be driven into the digestive
tract, the writer asserts that it would
pass out unchanged. In conclusion it is
stated that neihter physicians nor their
patients need feel any uneasiness from
the presence of amalgam filings in their
teeth, as they are utterly incapable of
causing mercurial poisoning.
of the monarchs who have reigned
over England since the days of the Nor
man conquest nearly one-quarter of the
number have met violent death. William
| was killed by fall from his horse; VIII
lam II was shot while hunting, whether
by accident or design is still one of the
unso.ved problems of history; Richard
was killed by a shaft from crossbow
while besieging the city of Cha.uZ, in
France; Richard ii was murdered in Pom
tefract Castle; Edward II was murdered
in Berk.ey Castle and Edward V in tne
Tower of London; Richard III was killed
on the battlefield of BosworCh; Charles /
had his head cut off in London. Eliza
beth's death was FASTENED by remorse
that she had ordered the execution of
Essex, and her sister Mary sickened and
died soon after the loss Of Ca.als, dec.a ar
ing that the name of the city would be
found after death written on her heart.
The death of Edward IIIs son, the Back
Prince, caused the eyed monarch to die
of grief. So, after the loss of his son in
the White Ship, Henry l was never seen
to smile again and lived only a short
time. Henry VI and George III were in
sane during the latter years of their
reigns, and fna iy died from what in these
days would be called paresis. Charles II,
Henry VIII, Edward " and George ~
FASTENED their deaths by the disslpated
and sensual lives they lived. On.y two
monarchs died of that great national
scourge, consumption-they were Edward
VI and Henry VII. Queen Anne's death
was due as much as Anything else to
overlooking. Only two monarchs, Henry
w and George III, died after long i'll
nesses.
Whoever has Travelled in Europe has
doubtless met in some part of the CONT
nent a gang of hungarian Gypsies~ roam
ing over the various countries of Europe
from south to north and from west to
cast AS a rule, they travel in families,
numbering from twenty-five to go souls
| and more, carrying al.ng with them all
their var Gus and strange iaraple4 naiia
ard domest c nece. sites. In mot coun-
tries of Europe laws have been passed
according to which these vagabonds are
allowed to stay on.y a coupe of days or
a couple of hours in ce. tain provinces or
provincial districts, when they are es-
corted by gendarmes over the border
The principal blu mess trans ,ction con-
sist of fortune-teling, begging and stea.-
ing. They are especially c.ever in the
after branch of business and take every
tl.ing, from pin and needle to a horse
carriage. The gypsies have been a real
nuisance for Europe for centur es and the
Austro-Hugdrian government is Low coz
sider4ng a plan to force this most pecu-
liar vagabond race into settlement, some
where in the vast plains of Hungary.
Most characteristic of the gypsies is the
fact that they never work. THIS Is one
of their first pr.nc- D es. For more than
600 years they have been roaming over
Europe and the up-to-date gypsy is by
all means the eleveri.t thief in the world.
Where no cat ge,s through the little
brown gypsy boy finds his way. They
have no religion, no morals, no honor or
no fatherlAnd. But he is prouder. per-
haps, than a Spanish grandee. He lies
to perfect on and is the greatest story
teller in the world. Many other efforts
have been made from tine to time TO
conflne the gypies to oerta territories
in Hungary, but always without any sue
cess.
