NEVER SUCH FIREWORKS.
Pyrotechnic Program for the Worlds.
 Fair Dedication.

PyrOteCnnlc PfOgram TOT the w OFlu s
 Fair Dedication.
 Work has begun on the vast system of frameworks for the great fireworks display on the occasion of the world s April 30 next. Magnificent as have been former displays of fireworks at famous jubilees and celebrations in Europe and America these programs will far surpass all former efforts Some of the set pieces are nearly half "a mile long and 100 feet high Many tons of explosives and chemical ingre- dients for producing the different col OTIS of fire are necessary in the manu- facture of these novel features. The balloons to be used in one feature of the display are so large as to require three days for their imitation. Expert aeronauts are in charge of this num- Der on the long program. One central balloon, much larger than the rest, will discharge the initial volley from a po- sition 1000 feet from the ground and will be followed by sa1utes from four teen other balloons ranged on each side over stretch of more than quarter of mile Bombs and rockets will be set off by thousands and the sky will be brilliant with new things in fire works. The program provides for two evenings of fireworks crand stand seating 3O0OO people being under construction from which to view the spectacle.
 Acceptances- have been received from President Roosevelt. former President Cleveland. the presidents cabinet, the diplomatic representatives of foreign countries governors of states, and oth- CT distinguished men. The first day, April 30. is dedication day; May 1 is diplomatic day. and May ? governors day. The military parade on April 30 will be composed of 15.0o0 to 10000 troops and the civic parade on May 2 will be equally large if not larger.

Enemy of spidern.

pr. Dallinger describes the ruthless destruction of spiders by the ichneu- mon fly and by certain wasps. The young of some wasps can live only on live spiders, and the mother wasp, therefore, renders the spider power less by her sting-after which it can live a month-and then deposits it in the cocoon where she has laid her egg. On matching out the wasp grubs feed on the bodies of the living spiders. Another wasp deposits her egg in the body of the spider, which is then buried alive, and is fed upon by the wasp grub.--Nature.

NEW QUESTION FOR HUSBANDS.

One of the questions which every wise parent should ask of the young man who aspires to the hand of a surance"' and the next question is even more important,-"Will you ag- rec to set aside a reasonable percen- tage Of your income every year for the purchase and continuance of insurance policies?"
 The number of different kinds of life insurance propositions offered by the principal companies and their in- numerable agents are puzzling enough particularly to the novice. A few to analyZe these propositions and ar rive at fairly safe conclusions.
 In the first place, determine how much money you can afford to spend per annum regularly in insurance Keep this sum firmly in mind. Do not allow yourself to be persuaded by an agent to overrun the amount by taking 'this form of policy, even though it costs little more." Your problem is, How can I get the best insurance for the money I have to spend?"
 In the next place, bear in mind tLdL Ao IoIin oH pollcy IS DdfSd1n.' Every apparent advantage is paid for on mathematical principles, either in the premium or elsewhere The man who pays twenty-five dollars per thousand as a premium for straight life insurance, without any "frills," gets just as good value for his money as he who spends fifty dollars a thou ond for five per cent gold bond, guaranteed dividend twenty-year en- dowment policy" In these modern days of insurance, company which should depart widely from established customs in the matter of conservative propositions would find its credit in- ssantly affected. .--E. E. Higgins in April Success.

 Whalebone in former years was care fully ycleaned and bundled each bundle containing from so to l2t pounds. In this shape it went to London, which was considered the worlds market. Here it was cCt and graded. each bone shorter than four feet being sold as culIing,, anu the large bone.as first and secOnd-clasS, cuttings and calf bone be- ing of equal value, brought about half price. A full grown bull whale yield ed from 2U00 to 3500 pound, of bone, 25OO pounds being tair average, and there would be besides from 30O to 5t;0 pounds of culling, in enc of these large whales.
 About he beginning of the last de- cade the Pacific Steam Whaling Co. brought bone-cutting machines from England and experts in that line to San Francisco. The cut and prepared bone is worth from e4@ht to ten dollars a pound: the cleaned and bundled from four to six dollars. The reader need not be surprised at the steamer Jeanie bringing in d S3.000.0 000 cargo through the Golden Gate, for the Pacific Steam Whaling Co. had fro;9 six to eight steamers wintering at Herschell island. and each vessel captured between 40 and 60 of these large whales every two years between 1888 and 1901. This company has several vessels up there now.

 lighthouses and the opera ion of an ice boat in Boring sea But as prospectors go north they are still find ing gold. Here is kougarok coming to the front. On Dahl creek they have found paystreak over-200 feet wide, and they have found from Sl0 to 800 to the pan. And other creeks in that section are equally promising. And then there is the Fair Haven section: Arctic district, the Buck land, Selawik, the Shunnak strike. which IS genuine. and gold is also found on the NOatak. as well as gold-bearing quartz.

Well. Bosqui has lost a year, as l predicted, and the penny wisdom of his party is the cause. He will get there, but if he does not get move on. the Research will get up there before him.

the evidence may be seen iust below the mouth of Glacier c"eek
 The Nome river ice was moving very slowly. as was all the ice in thi- dis trct and the vast pressure of the in- terIor ice field was forcing through the gap more than the Nome flow could take care of. Consequently. another outlet was sought, and wide bell came over the divide betW cen Snake and Nome rivers. about he head of Grub creek, which latter creek is n the Snake rlver side of the divide. In the valley of the snake from th, mouth of Last Chance, there is no evi. dence of glacial action. Last Chance has every evidence of ice having carved out it's course. but every ice stream would have to come to rest in the Snake river valley. except it was pushed fOl- ward by d vast fife d. and with the eX- ceptl'n of La t Chance, she only took the ice ,hat the Meme could not carry. There may have been several small streams of a mile or two in length. but they would have no effect on the ac cunuiaton m the valley as they all Slrikt Il lt an acute angle.
 From beneath every glacier as you all know, there is a stream of water flowing, thereby asSjs,ing in it's great work of erosion. and in he case ,i a dead one, it wOuld be the only means. assisted by the great weipn of ice.
