Peck said: 1--WE have formulated a new

with Messrs. Dimond and Wilson for
the construction of the road, being un-
able to agree upon certain details. But
the road will go forward just the same"
With this remark Mr.. Peck produced

build the road ITO show how certain
It is that the present scheme will go

ALCOHOL is NO FOOD STUFF.
View That 1t Has Nutritive Value
Conpatted by Physicians.

American Medicine combats the view
Of Prof. Atwater that alcohol has nu-
tritive value in any practical sense,
says the Baltimore Sun. 1t Is conced-
ed that a small quantity Of alcohol Is
oXidized in the body. This may be
true without iustifying the placing of
alcohol among useful foodstuffs. Ac-
cording to Herr Kuhne, the oxidation
of substance in the body does not
prove that its effect is useful. Faust
holds that morphine, like alcohol,
may be oxidized in the body in in
creasing quantities" but no one con-
tends on this account for the use Of
morphine as an article Of diet: The
professors contention-on the basis of
experiments with three persons-that
alcohol in small quantity can be sub
stituted for carbohydrates and fats Is
not admitted. The important action
of alcohol when taken with other food
is indirect, modifying as it does, "the
metabolic processes Of the body
Prof. Atwater argues that alcohol has
an indirect drug action on the nervous
system as we'll as a direct action as
food, but errs, says American Medi-
cine, in assuming that the food bene-
fit can be obtained without the nerv-
Gus injury. Horseley Is cited as "a
neuroloeist of quite the first rank,
who maintains that alcohol, even In
small amounts with meals, is injurious
to the nervous system" Our medical
contemporary does not even concede
that alcohol is, as Prof. Atwater
thinks he has proved, a probable
source Of muscular energy, and quotes
with glee his admission that "practt-
cal experience indicates it to be poor
food for muscular work" The con-
clusion reached Is that Michael Fos-
ter. the eminent physiologist Is about
right when he says that mo distinct
physiologic dicta concerning the use
fulness or the opposite Of alcohol as
an article of diet can at present be
enunciated. Any physiologic opinion
which may he given Is Of less value
than the teachings of general expert
cEce."

OUR ACTIVE VOLCANO.
Mt. WranseII, In Alaska, One OF Ma
ture's Greatest Wonders.

ture's Greatest Wonders.
Only a few years ago the incessant-
~ active volcano. Mt. Wrangell, In
Alaska, was represented on all our
maps as an isolated mountain situat-
ed in the midst of great snow-cov-
cred plateau. Almost nothing was
known Of that inland region. but
Mount Wrangell had attracted atterf-
lion because smoke was always pour
ing from it's summit.
States Geological Survey have been
particularly active in this region for
the past three years, and are at last
able to give much definite information
about it. 1t has been found that Mount
Wrangell is not solitary mountain
nut is in the midst of a vast array Of
SUBMITS covered with snow and gla-
riers and spreading over an area OF no
less than $500 square miles.
Within this area are at least ten
snow clad peaks $4,000 feet or more in
height. Several Of these are still un-
named, and two. Mount Sanford, 16,2OO
feet and Mount blackburn, 16,140
feet, are higher than Mount Blanc or
any of the peaks within the United
States south Of Canada. Mount Wran-
gell, which has attracted more atten-
ton than the others. because it is an
active volcano. is third in altitude,
$4,000 feet.
1t Is wonderful scene Of the grim
NEST desolation, peak after peak ris-
ing from high valleys, their black
steep sides streaked with snow and
the higher elevations completely white
with it, and in the center of the nict-
ure is Mount Wrangell with it's COL
umn of smoke.
But Wrangell itself Is a grand noun
tain, though dwarfed by the higher
cones of Sanford and Blackburn. 1t
is wide-spreading cone. nearly three
miles high and eight times as broad.
It's gently arched surface Is a glisten-
ing snowfield. smudged here and there
by volcanic ash from the crater, which
sends up rolling columns Of smoke
and vapor to the height Of three miles.
From It's eastern slope descends the
Nabesna Glacier, a frozen river fifty
miles in length. On it's western face
Il dozen jets of steam may be seen on
IL still morning issuing from as many
vents. The glaciers proceeding from
the shallow valley where these vents
occur are black with the breath Of the
mountain. The summit has never
been reached. though prospector
named John Bremnef, declares that he
got within a mile Of the top.

his life on or near the river.
What place is this that we are ap-

You are mistaken, sir. ACCORDING
to the map. it is -.
La Barge made no reply. He stop

went his way. Presently they came
to another village.
What place, captain?" inquired the
Englishman.

This experience was repeated sew
eral times, the captains temper be-
coming more ruffied with each repeti-
tion. Presently a flock Of wild geese
passed over the river. The English
men were standing on the hurricane
roof in front Of the pilot house.
What kind Of birds are those, cap

haste.

showed something Of his French ORR
