IMPORTANCE OF ALASKA.
Some of the Many Changes Which
Have Occurred in That Country
in Recent Years.

Since 1896 five events have occurred
that wholly change conditions in
Alaska for the better, reports the
Engineering Magazine.
l. In that year the Klondike gold
discoveries were made, and in 1897
and 1898 great rush to and through
Alaska began, resulting in a doubling
of the population and in an output
Of gold from the Yukon region to
date of $75,OOO,OOO.
2. In 1898 the Philippine islands
were acquired by the United States,
giving Importance to the direct route
along the Alaskan coast between
North America and the new posses
sions.
3. In 1899 gold was discovered on
the beach at Nome, and this carried
10000 people to this part of Alaska
and resulted in an output of $5.ooO,-
600 in gold annually, or more than
twice as much as all Alaska had pre-
viously yielded.
4. The Alaskan salmon fisheries, in
their infancy in 1896, have grown in
1902 to great companies, capitalized
for $20,000,000 and with net earnings
last year of more than 100000 and
employing 10000 men.
S. Two railroads have been con-
structed in Alaska, one of which is in
the extreme southeast, costing $4,000
600, earned last year over SO 900 600 net,
and the other in the extreme north
west near Nome, little road five
miles long, which earned $4,000 net.
6. Coal fields formerly specifically
known have been explored and inves-
tigated, while new ones of great VAL
lie have been discovered.

WHY LEAVES CHANGE COLOR,
Changes in Temperature and the
Work of Jack Frost Are the
Principal Agents.

A leaf is composed of great num-
Der of cells, the walls of which are
brown. In the spring and summer
these cells are all filled with fluid, col
ored with minute grains of red, yellow
and other pigments, which, mixed to-
gether, appear green. In the autumn,
through the cold, oxidation and other
changes take place in the leaf-cells,
destroying more or less rapidly
of the color elements, says the Wom-
ans Home Companion. AS soon as one
of these elements is gone the leaf no
longer appears normal green, but as
sumes the shade of the remainder of
the color elements mixed together
When only the red element is left the
leaf is red; when the yellow alone re-
mains, the leaf is yellow, and when all
the coloring matter is gone the leaf is
brown.
Frost is not the sole cause Of the
changes of color, but it is an important
cause. The more gradual the changes
of temperature from summer heat to
winter cold, the greater will be the
variety and brilliancy in the coloring
of the autumn leaves.
