In 1900 my wife ac- companied me on journeys about Alas ka aggregating more that five thou sand miles of travel. In February and March of 1901 the Alaska Geographi- cal Society had a splendid exhibit at the Coliseum building, Chicago At its close I came to Alaska, secured eA- cellent school exhibits from Juneau and Sllagway, took them with the Craine Alaskan collection and other ex- hibits to Buffalo. A large building was built and splendid exhibit was maintained until the close of the expo sition. They were then exhibited at the International Forest, Fish and Game Exhibition at Philadelphia, and then at the Charleston International Exposition, where we built an attrac- tive building for the educational exhib- it's, which was absolutely free to all visitors. All of our exhibits were taken from Charleston to New York, and from there to the American ENhi- bition in the Crystal palace, London, where they remained for six months.

 By reason of my many years of ex- perience in exposition work, many rec concentrations were filed with the sec retary of the interior favoring my ap- pointment as an Alaska representative.

The FIrst Ice Cream.

French chef. who prepared the dish
FOR the Due de Charities in 1874, is said
TO have made the first ice cream. Lord
Bacon was aware OF the process OF
congelation by means of snow and salt.
but to him it was a scientific fact oS
greater or less interest, and he had no
idea of the delightful possibilities of
this process on various eatables.
Iced drinks and water ices were
known to the Partisan epicures a CEN
fury and a half earlier, the daintieS
having probably come from the far
east by the hand of some traveller who
had tested sherbet. The English knew
or cared nothing for such artificial re-
freshment till the present century.
Even now they do not regard the Iced
pudding" with especial favor.
