4 NEw FOOD SUPPLY IN SIGHT.

Alaska has given so many surprises to the United States that one more will not be strange. The latest is that we shall yet be eating reindeer meat which comes from Alaska. The reindeer that were taken to Alaska from Siberia are thriving, increasing and multiplying. mixed with water provides refreshing drink, and makes excellent cheese. The meat is highly esteemed, and various parts of the carcass are put to various uses. The government is now loaning some of the deer to mission stations. Some oS the herds loaned to the mis- sions have become so large that it is already possible to slaughter and sell some of the animals for their meat Last year deer for slaughter fetched from $50 to $1OO each. It is predicted that even is no more reindeer are im- ported from Siberia, if the present rate of increase continues, doubling every three years, within less than twenty five years there will be at least 1,0O0, 900 domestic reindeer in Alaska. This is a conservative estimate. and allows for the deer that die from natural causes and for the many that will be slaugh- tered for food. In thirty-five years the number may reach nearly 10,000,OOO head and Alaska will be shipping each year to the United States anywhere from 50OO0O to 1000, 900 reindeer carcasses and | thousands of tons of delicious hams and l tongues.
 This is cheering. Perhaps before long there will be reindeer securities for sale based on the reindeer ranches of Alas ka. This country needs few more se- curities to trade in and reindeer securi- ties would be attractive to many.

ARE THEY TOO BTG9

It appears that everybody doesn't be- lieve in the huge armored battleships that all the big powers seem to believe in. The Russian Admiral Makaroff, the designer of the famous ice-breaker Yermak, thinks he knows a thing or two about ships. and he asserts that i'll the days of smooth-bore guns armor was a real protection, but since then the improvement in guns and projec- tiles has far outstripped the improve ment in armor. so that the latter is no longer invulnerable to a projectile striking it at right angles or at from 10 to 15 or even 20 degrees less than that. In place of one battleship of 5000 tons he would build, at the same cost, three unarmored vessels of 5000 tons each. with as heavy guns and as great speed and radius of action as the larger ship, but with the advantage of not having to carry between them 1,S00 tons of dead weight of armor. The battleship might readily sink one of such vessels, but could she sink the three before be- ing sent herself to the bottom? The British battleship Victoria, though ably commanded, could not withstand the shock delivered by vessel moving only at the speed of six knots, and it was improbable, he said. that the quicker moving and explosive shell and torpedo would be less effective. The fully armored caisson representing a section of the French battleship Henri ". did not survive the explosion under it of a single torpedo charge. The ves- sels he advocates should be quite un- protected and carry their guns on deck. A light protection only delays the shell sufficiently to cause 1t to explode within the protected vessel.
 If the big powers should come to the conclusion that Admiral Makaroff is right they can make a change, and so keep money in circulation. There's nothing like having the right kind of ships in battle.

NOT ALL PIE IN PHILADELpHrA

NOT .ALL PIB IN PHIL9DELPHrA Philadelphia is the City of Brotherly
 Love and the City of Homes, but those
 beautiful names do not fully describe it. There are some bad things in Phil adelphia, and strangely enough the Re- publicans who run the city are charged
 with being responsible for them. The
 Republicans of Philadelphia don't seem
 to be bit better than the Democrats of New York. The New York Tribune has a correspondent who has made speciality of Investigating abuses there, and his latest revelation is almost too much to believe. There is, he says, contribution levied upon school teach CTS for the Republican party fund, and places among them are sold at fixed ! rates, the proceeds of which probably go into the pockets of the party work
 CTS. This is given as the reply of one | teacher who was asked why he paid when this blackmail was demanded of | him. He said: T do not doubt
 that it seems to you moral cowardice,
 but many teachers reasoned it out as I
 did. Had I been young and independ- ent, then l might have said Go to!'
 As it was, was old and had a family,
 and I paid. But when you ask me if
 this doesn't destroy self-respect, I
 must answer, 'Yes!' It puts merit out | forever, and makes positions depend 1 upon payment"
 l If this is true ring politics have been
 carried to the limit in Philadelphia.
 We believe it is not charged that even 1 in great and wicked New York school 1 teachers have to pay politicians for l their places.

AN ABSURD CAN4RD.

President Roosevelt is making pros porous progress through the land, and so is the story that Grover Cleveland is going to follow in his footsteps. But that story is denied by Grover Cleve- land himself, and he ought to know. He says: I have had no intention of going any farther than St. Louis. and intend returning as soon as possible by the most direct route, and yet in some way it has been given out that was to go to the Pacific coast and visit Colo rado and California, and I don't know how many other States and territories. and in consequence of this have re- ceived numerous letters from good peo- pie living in those localities making re- quests based entirely upon the truth Gf these reports. It may be amusing to those who start such rumors, but it produces a reverse effect on those who are made the victims of such an absurd canard.
 The canard does seem to be rather absurd, but it seems to have fooled many people who didn't see any reason why Cleveland shouldn't swing round the circle" And this indicates the state of some of the public mind.

Only about one hundred years more will be required to complete the work of making 8 typographical map of the country which was begun by the United States government in 1882. The work is being carried on in co-opera- tion with the states, New York, for ex- ample, having appropriated annually $200O0 to $25,OO0 toward it's share. There has never been a typographical map of the United States published other than rough sketches. For that reason the government work will be one of the largest ever made. What the cost of the map will be when fin- ished 1t is difficult to state; the ex- pense involved in mapping . out New York alone will be about $1,000,000. The sheets relating to New York State will probably be completed within five years.

Many society women already employ maid or a man as a dog at- tendant, whose duty it is to train and to accompany their pampered pets. But 1t IS now possible to send them to a school where they can be taught to bark properly, to bow in greeting and farewell, to pick up fan dropped by the mistress and present it to her gracefully and to walk with proud and prancing steps.

Awhile ago it was the cats of War saw, Russian Poland, which were laid under tribute to furnish skins for the Leipzig market and hare soup" for the inhabftafrts. of Warsaw, and now it is the sparrows against which the peas- ants of the district have commenced a war of extinction. It appears that the large restaurants lof Warsaw have a great demand for sparrows, which they prepare in a most, appetiZing manner, and have thereby created taste for these small birds among the customers. The peasants who bring them in find it difficult to supply the 5000 sparrows weekly which are required by the res- taurant keepers, who pay for them at the rate of two cents per pair In the villages the peasants pay children two cents for five pairs, and thus make a handsome profit.
