BIG THINGS I'M ALASKA.
Northern Territory Of the United
States Presents Great Possible
ties--Great Game Country.

Alaska is big country and it has big
possibilities. 1t has the biggest bear,
the biggest moose, the biggest mountain
sheep and the biggest salmon and gray
ling in the world. All of these are plen-
tiful and can be taken under United
States regulations, says a writer in
Field and Stream.
Time was when Alaska and Siberia
were thought of by many as synony-
nous, and without an idea of just what
was meant by either name. That has all
changed in the last few years, and now
Alaska is not so very far away from Sc
attic. Moreover, it has been found to be
anything but an uninhabited and unin-
habitable country. 1t is without doubt
the greatest game country on the globe
to-day, because it is the newest, and the
conditions are right for the maintenance
Of game animals and birds.
The biggest mountain on the Northern
American continent is in Alaska and is
well named Mount Mckinley.

MOODY SPOKE IN CIRCUS.
Incident Which Took Place During
Chicago Worlds Fair Related
by a Snowman.

Speaking of circus church services"
Ocean reporter, ''the story printed the
other day reminds me of a curious
combination of the circus and the
church conducted by great evangelist
and a big three ring show in Chicago
during the worlds fair. Dwight L..
Moody was here, but was unsuccessful
in finding any suitable place large
enough to hold the crowds he expect
ed to attend his meetings. Finally he
hit upon the idea of big tent.
1--WE were giving Sunday shows
there, but as we were way down be-
low Randolph street and the fair and
other big attractions were uptown, our
business had been poor. The circus
management thought Mr.. Moody could
draw the crowd and advertise the
show, so they permitted him to hold
his church services in the tent, begin
ming at II o'clock.
''The novelty of the affair soor
struck even the Chicagoans. Moody
got the crowds and the show got the
business, for just as soon as the church
services were over we opened the kid
show on the outside, and put every
available man at work selling tickets
inside and out. The result was that
during our season there we played to
big houses at Sunday matinees. We
started the big show soon after the
benedictiOn."

DEWEY HAS QUEER MAP.
Design of Spain by Filipinos Shows
Latter's Strange Conception
Of Don's Country.

II want to show you something that is
of especial interest to me-" said Admiral
Dewey the other day to visitor, accord
ing to the Woman's Home Companion
AS he spoke he led the way to the foot of
the long hall, and pointed at an odd-look-
ing piece of wool work hanging on the
wall. "It is supposed to be a map of
Spain, or rather Filipino's conception
of Spain. 1t was given me just as 1 was
leaving the islands, and was told that
it was made by two native women. You
see that the design is worked on the
wood fiber used for everything over
there"
The ''map" was about yard square,
and the different features of the country,
mountains, rivers, and so forth, were
worked in it in strikingly contrasting
colors of the most brilliant hues.
Incidentally" said Mrs. Dewey, "the
map also shows the Filipino's conception
of the Importance of Spain. See, it al
NOSE covers the entire space, while this
little red margin up here represents
France; yet at the time the map was
being made. France was negotiating the

PLAN REMOVAL OF CITY.
Disasters Caused by Floods
at Forty-Mile.

The disastrous floods at Forty-Mile
during the last two seasons and the
ever increasing danger of more serious
floods, having made it almost impera-
tive that the TOWNSHIP be removed, has
resulted in Canadian Collector of Gus
toms Busby suggesting the removal of
the town to high ground on the other
side of the Yukon.
Busby says the only available site
where security could be had is across
the Yukon, ON the right limit Of the
river. There the bank is high, the
ground is level, the channel is near
shore, where there is always deep
water, and an excellent site for the city
could be laid out. Forty-Mile post is a
historic spot, the oldest white settle
ment on the river above the Russian
mission, and to many of the old-timers
it would seem like sacrilege to talk Of
it's abandonment, but before the big
companies will again suffer the loss
already endured two seasons it is not
at all improbable they will take steps
to better protect their interests by
seeking another location.

NOT CAUSED BY FISH.
OBSERVATION OF DIR. TURNER
REGARDING LEPRoSY.
Results of His Investigations Among
Patients in South Africa-Be-
lieves Infection Is Due
to Some Vermin.

Leprosy must now be added to the
other scourges which afflict South At
RIGA. Until recently the extent to
which this disease was prevalent in
South Africa was little known. The
fact that it existed in the Transvaal
was practically quite unknown, yet
DR.. Hurner, the health officer of the
Transvaal, reports that whereas there
were 100 cases in his charge in 1895
there are now over 200. DR.. Turner
adds the remarkable fact that no one
knows how many lepers there are in
the Transvaal. He says that medical
officer who had been in charge of the
lepers and had taken much interest in
the matter asserted that there were at
least 5000 in 1900.
The disease is defying the most
heroic efforts at its determination in
Cape Colony, while it is also spreading
in Basutoland and elsewhere. The
worst afflicted are the Hottentots; the
Kaffirs, with the exception of the Eu-
ropeans, being the least affected.
Prof. Jonathan HutcAinson's theory
that eating fish, especially cured, is
the chief cause of the disease has been
fully set forth. His arguments and
statistics are cogent, but hitherto have
found little support. DR.. Turner, as
the result of most careful investiga-
ton, differs absolutely from DR..
Hutchinson
Official returns show that 10 per
cent of the total amount of fish en-
tering the Transvaal goes to Johannes
burg. Nearly all of this is eaten by
whites, but until December there was
not single European in the johann
nesburg leper hospital. Then man
who was born in Europe was admitted
He was a member of a large family
all of whom are living in the Trans
vaal. None of the others is leper
In DR.. Turner's opinion, his disease
was clearly the result of contagion, as
he habitually associated with leper
Of DR.. Turner's 210 patients, A pei
cent. had eaten fish, only II per cent
of which was cured fish. Among ths
white lepers 95 per cent. had eaten
fish, As per cent. of which was cured
| fish. Among the colored patients, who
made up four-ffths of the total, only
80 per cent. ever tasted fish, and only
| ten had eaten cured fish.
DR.. Turner is convinced that conta'
gion is the most usual means of the
| spread of leprosy. He treated a few
cases in which it was possible to assert
that it's origin was hereditary, bu
| practically none in which contagioT
could be excluded and several in which
contagion was the sole explanation

WORLDS BEST TIMEKEEPER
Clock Which Varies Only Frac-

The worlds best timekeeper is said

months with an average daily deviation
of only fifteen one-thousandths of a sec

with even this, and efforts are continu-

tight case, but in an underground vault,
where neither changes of temperature
nor of barometric pressure shall ever af-
feet it.

AUTO WOMEN IN NEW ROLE.
Members of London Club Give Bio
graph Tea to Compensate for
Business Session.

A happy idea has been conceived by a
committee of the Women's Automobile
club of London in providing some COM
pensation for the trouble of attending
business meetings. Following the first
annual general assembly of the members
of the club there was what was called
biograph tea held at hotel. The event
was indicated by the title. A display Of
moving pictures was given, after which
tea was served. Some excellent examples
of the camera art were shown, the best
and most interesting being series rep
resting the recent race for the coupe
internationale. Many present had been
to Germany for the race and several Of
the characters caught by the photograph
err were familiar to the spectators.
