ALAsKA's REINDEER.
The Hardy Animal n Docn to the
NcrthIand Natives.
Especial Correspondence. ]


SITKA, Alaska, Dec. 1j.-Now is the
season Of the year when the reindeer
proves to be to the Alaskans and Es-
kimos the best friend on earth. The
mountain trails and frozen rfSers are
many feet deep under drifts of snow,
and transportation and travel from
place to place would be impossible
without the aid Of this noble animal.
Fleet he is and strong. Willing and
even anxious to plunge into the fierccst
storms that ever swept down an ice
walled mountain gorge or strcwcd
stumps and powders in the course of
an arctic glacier he has proved times
without number.
In measure. the reindeer las been
the salvation of nativc Alaska. lie
has proved an invaluable substitute
FOR the horse, COW. sheep and goat
He can do more work for his size than
any other animal in the world. IIar-
messed TO n sled. he can pull 4 200
pound load 100 miles over ice ard
snow in single day His feet, more
over. are of such peculiar shape that
hc can cover more icy ground in less
time than any other known creature.
Previous to 1871 the condition of the
AlaSkaOs and Eskimos was most do
plorable. Their food was scaDt and
their clothing insufficient. In severe
winters the mortality among them was
terrible. The only means Of Suhsist-
ence consisted in hunting seals, wal
ruses and whales, and the natives III
supplied with the means of getting
over the icy fields. found the struggle
for existence more than difficult Obi
GERS of the United States revenue
service who visited Alaska from time
to time conceived the idea of introduc-
ing the reindeer into the country. The
Laplandcrs and other northern races
had solved the problem OF arctic ex-
istence by making use OF these ami
mails. Why could not the Alaskans
follow their example?
DIR. Sheldon Jackson. general agent
OF education in Alaska. determined to
devote his time TO the work. He made
careful study of the conditions Of life
under which reindeer thrive and con-
Guided that they would prosper in Alas
ka as well as anywhere else. Besides
the task of introducing the reindeer,
he had to instruct the natives as TO
their care aud use. Congress did not
take kindly to the project when il was
first mOOtcd. Necessary appropriations
TO begin the work were not forthcom-
ing. The appeal was made through the
press. however, and enough money was
raised to make start The idea was
ridiculcd by both members of congress

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. f1.-Profs.
Pickering and Wendell of the Harvard
observatory have just made some very
important discoveries with regard 70 the
new planet Eros From the second dis

observatory took photographs Of this
planet as early as 1888 The photo

the planet is probably not more than
20 miles i'll diameter, and comes nearer
the earth than any other planet. 1t be-

than any celestial body except the moon.
These observations will continue at
