Prof Georgeson, who has been rep
resenting the Department of Agricul-
ture in Alaska, has prepared a pleas
ant surprise for the American people.
1t appears that the current notion of
Alaska as a bleak and somewhat ter
rifying wilderness, Astounding chiefly
In gold deposits and rigorous winters,
is not altogether accurate. Alaska can
be made the home of the farmer as
well as that of the miner. There are
at least four strips of territory, says
Prof. Georgeson, where for about 400
miles the harder grains can be cul-
tivated with success. 1t is true these
strips are not so spacious as the Mis-
sissipp Valley, being only thirty or
forty miles wide at most. But, small
as they are, they are fertile, and on
their 100000 acres it is thought
that a population of 100000 people
might find a comfortable subsistence.
Besides the cereals, vegetables are
found to thrive in the Alaskan eli
mate, and during the past year the
town of Dawson was fully supplied
with green vegetables grown at home.
1t was also proved that grazing is a
prospective Alaskan industry. Horses,
sheep and cattle can find excellent pas
ture and can get through the winter
even when turned out to find their own
food. What with cereals, therefore
and vegetables and stock, the farmer
of the Yukon valley will be able to set
tie down in that part of the world as
permanent resident 1t is to be under
stood, of course, that the hardships of
Alaskan life are undeniable. While the
country is by no means the gigantic
iceberg which some people suppose it
to be, yet the climate is a little bit more
than bracing. and the farms, though
good, can never he of the kind called
bonanza. Alaskan agriculture, as Prof.
Georgeson remarks, is for the small
farmer, who shall own his own land
and who shall support himself largely
by what he himself produces. To such
man. intelligent and industrious.
Alaska offers great opportunities, for.
like the Great American desert" and
much of the Canadian Northwest Terri
tory, 1t has outlived its reputation for
sterility and hopelessness, and is now
ready to be exploited.

The successful utilization of waste
products has been large factor in the
solution of the problem of production
worked out by this generation. The
meat-packing industry is notable IL
lustration. Should the packers only
make expenses from the packing bust
ness the waste product would afford
ample profit. However, the utiliza
ton of waste, the turning of refuse
into profit is only in its Infancy. 1t is
no fancy, that story of the chemist
who turned pair of boots into fine
quality of jelly. In the Middle Ages
such a man would have been magician.
He would have examined the entrailS,
watched the flight of birds or noticed
which way the smoke blew ere he an
nounced such metamorphosis. To
day the magician converts old skirts
into glucose, makes ink from an old
copper coffee pot and writing paper
from old collars. The possibilities of the
future transcend present belief. 4 New
York physician says that good milk can
be made from the sewage of the city
He could furnish as much from the
present sewage volume as can be pro-
duced from hundred thousand cows.
1t Is simply question of producing
the milk more cheaply than from COWS
When it is remembered that the smoke
from smelters is carefully converted
into white lead and the waste soap
suds from large wooden factories is
now converted into pressed brick, some
conception is afforded of the apparent
ly fantastic, but really useful adapta-
lions, of modern chemistry.

see, northern Georgia and West Vir-
ginia are untouched by the swift move
ment of modern thought. Peculiarities.
customs and modes of thought bind
communities of this sort into narrow
ness and isolation. Even our language
is distorted into dialects, so that as in
scriptural times, mans speech betray-
eth him. You can tell the down East
Yankee by his omission of the 81" the
Southerner by his concessions to ne
gro dialect, and the rounder of the
city by his patois. Communities are
provincial in many things. Who
would look for an unbiased opinion of
the Chinese coolie on the Pacific coast (?
And yet what people more than the
Californians admit the Chinese to their
households? How many planters in
the cotton states believe the negro has
a soul? Note how aristocratic dwell
ers in "Athens" religiously stand by
Bostonese as good Englist. Can any
good come out of Chicago" asks the
New York City provincial. The Mis-
sOurian has to be shown" when Iowa
is concerned. We are coming to be a
broad nation in many particulars, but
we remain very narrow in spots.

1t appears that the punishment
melted out to the reckless bicyclist is
quite inadequate to impress upon the
reckless automobilist the seriousness
of his offense. To man able to own
an automobile valued at say $1,000

bagatelle If for each violation of the
speed limit law he should be mulcted
in the sum of from $500 to $500 per-

would be secured by a brief term of

fore the bar of justice, be he million

The Judge who sustained ruling Of
the Treasury Department that immi-
grants afflicted with tuberculosis had
no right to enter the country did not
go into the merits of the case. He sim
ply held that the matter was one for
the Treasury officials to decide. But
it Is clear that the Treasury decided
wisely, that it is doing no more than it
should to protect the health of the
country. tuberculosis is the most de-
structive disease known. In Europe, as
well as in the United States, it is the
cause of more deaths than any other.
Epidemics of plague and fever are re-
sponsibie for more scares and sensa-
tons, and occasionally produce a high
death rate and q large mortality list,
but tuberculosis works steadily year in
and year out with the persistence Of
fate. 1t cannot be cured like the cpl
denies, and though new and promis-
Ing remedies are announced every little
while the one thing of q remedial nature
upon which the best medical minds
care should be taken to prevent its in
ception and spread. There is no doubt
that it Is communicable; that the agent
for its dissemination is the sputum of
patients; that without strict regula-
tons this agent Is apt to be found ev-
erywhere. The seed of the disease Is in
the street Of every town and city, in
the workshop and on the farm. Hence
the recommendations for the segrega-
ton Of consumptives and the erection
of public hospitals for their special
care. When the dread of the disease is
so great and such extraordinary pre-
cautions are urged against it within
the country it is certainly reasonable
that official precautions should be
taken to prevent its importation. They
are fully as justifiable as the measures
which are taken to keep the sufferers
from contagious diseases in quaran-
tine.

A peculiar phenomena is observable

"GO WAY BACK AND SIT DOWN.. y
Origin of Slang Phrase that Is as Pop
ular as a Popular Song.

hAhT ds ii LOpuldT SOHks
The popular phrase, 60 way back
and sit down. has been credited to
many sources, said a New York music
publisher, but the true story has never
been printed.
"One night about a year ago several
colored sports gathered in a saloon in
the Tenderloin owned by a negro and
patronized chiefly by men of his race.
In the party were Smithy. the tenor,
and Bully, the tout. Smithy came from
the West and dressed in the height of
fashion, while Bully's home was in the
South.
Bully had had quite turn of ill-luck
and his attire suffered in consequence.
Smithy began kidding him about it,
Finally Bully got angry. He sized
Smlthy up from head to foot for few
seconds and then sailed in:
'Yo' am er dude, yo' am he began
contemptuously. 'Yo' done come round
here an try t lit he folkes know dat

"Smithy did go way bacA and sit
down and was not heard of tie rest OF
the night. Al Johns, colo ed musl
clan. who was present. thought the
phrase was unique. and the ne I day be
told Elmer Bowman. a negro song
writer, about it.
Johns thought it would make gooo
title for a song, so Bowman wrote some
verses which Johnson put to music. ID
the story of the song Bowman stuck %
the incidents that took place in the
saloon that night, and when the song
was published it at once became popu'
lar.
THE phrase was used a good deal Dt
the opposite political parties in the las'

To dry plates in hurry after fixing

An English amateur, who stands
among the recognized leaders, has this
to say on hand camera pictures that is
interesting: 'Under-exposed and over
developed this is the true verdict
which should be pronounced on perhaps
three out of every four hand camera
negatives. The error Of over-ievelop-
ment Is to large extent due to the
widespread but very misleading notion.
viz, that prolonged development will
bring out the details. To put this fine.
crusted, old delusion in other words, it
is equivalent to saying that prolonged
development compensates for, or is
equivalent to, exposure. The hungry
school boy is sometimes told that the
thickness of the bread compensates for
the thinness of the butter, a maxim
which sounds all right, but is not easy
to swallow"
