FEET As A RACIAL TRAIT.
Pedal Extren,Ities q Test Of National
Characterlstics.

Scientists were never SO busy in
curious lines of investigation as in
these days, and now they tell us that
the shape Of the foot has features
which distinguish one race from an
other. The French foot Is narrow and
long. The Spanish foot Is small and
elegantly curved-thanks to its Moor
ish blOod-correspondIng to the Castil-
ian's pride Of being high In the In
STEP" The Arabs foot is -proverbial
for its high arch. The Koran says
that n stream of water can run under
the true Arabs foot without touching
It. The foot Of the Scotch is high and
thick; that of the Irishy fiat and
square; the English, short and fieshy.
When Athens was In her zenith the
Grecian foot was the most perfectly
formed and exactly proportioned of
that Of any of the human race.
Swedes, Norwegians and Germans
have the largest feet, Americans the
smallest. Russian toes are "webbed"
at the first joint. Tartarian toes are
all the same length.

REINDEER FOR ALsAkA.

sand More From Siberia.

The government having provided for
the purchase of $4,000 reindeer for
Alaska in addition to the 1000 already
imported, DIR. Sheldon Jackson has
gone to Siberia to make arrangements
to secure the animals.
Such great success has attended the
Importation Of reindeer into Alaska
that no doubt remains that by stock
ing the country with them the condi-
tions of the inhabitants can be greatly
improved. The animals born in Alaska
become larger than the parent stock
imported from Siberia, and it seems
that the climate of the country is espe-
cially suited to their nature and habits.
1t is expected that these animals will
furnish means of transportation in the
interior away from navtgable rivers
and that the herds will also supply the
inhabitants with meat at times when
it may be greatly needed. Herds will
probably be maintained near Point Bar
row and Point Hope on the shore Of
the Arctic ocean, and when this Is
done, there will be no more danger that
sailors wrecked ON that coast and COM
PEELED to winter there will starve to
death. The deer will supply them with
all the food they may need.
The plan upon which these animals
will be distributed among the people is
to lend them to Eskimos and miners
for breeding and transportation pur-
poses. Ultimately the persons receiv-
ing them in this way will be required
to return to the government as many
animals as they received. They will
be permitted, however, to retain all the
increase.
1t is believed that In this way great
assistance will be extended to TIE IL
habitants Of Alaska, particularly p
the natives. The latter will be taught
to work as teamsters, thus making
themselves valuable in transportatiep
service. At the same time they will
learn the important lessons Of thrift

Additional Attractions for the Fair

The coronation of King Edward has
been, and still is, subject of absorbing
interest to everyone. The management
of Canada's Great Eastern exhibition
has made arrangements with the Pan
American Electric Picture Company for
the reproduction of the state parades
with all their pageantry, together with
the ceremony in Westminster abbey, of
this memorable occasion. This company
sent photographer to London for the
purpose of obtaining moving pictures of
this great event, which occurred Satur-
day, August 8, and they will be shown
at Sherbrooke fair for one of the first
places on the continent In addition to
this event, which is sure to prove very
attractive feature, one of the special
sights of the evening performance will
be the pictures of Mount Pelee in erup-
ton. The manager has made special
arrangements with the above named
company for the production of their
pictures of this memorable cataclysm at
each of the evening performances.
When Mount Pelee first began to
rumble and reports were sent abroad of
the destruction of this volcano, the Pan
American Company at once sent an ex-
perienced photographer for the purpose
of securing full line of photographs Of
the mountain in eruption and the great
damage caused thereby. These pictures
will show the lava flowing from the
crater, together with the awful destruc
ton caused over Martinique and ad
jacent islands as they occurred in reality
In addition to the attractions already
engaged the directors have closed with
Prof. Wolcott for series of balloon as
tensions, accompanied with the --latest
novelties in this direction.
The programme of fireworks, includ
ing as it does the grand spectacular
scenic piece, the Spanish Armada, will
surpass anything heretofore attempted
at Sherbrooke's fair. However, the at
traction committee has not stopped her,
but has contracts pending with severa
other sensational acts specially adapted
to the evening performances.
