the we'll known Corwin and Tbetis
mines. the location Of which has
been shown on many recent maps
Of Alaska.
Geologic study show that the coal
measures OF these fields have total
hickness of ut lea It $4,000 feet and
contain not less than forty beds OF
coal, each over foot thick. The
aggregate thickness Of all the beds
seen by Mr.. Collier i, over $50 feet.
Eleven of them are more than four
feet thick aud contain coal OF good
quality. Analysis Of samples from
some OF the beds show the product to
be low grade bituminouss coal. A
limited amount of coal has been
nj ined there since 1879 for whaIers
and revenue cdtters. Several carRoes
we're mined In 'Ol and sold at Nome
market for e18 aud $50 q ton, In
competition with Comax and Wash
iueton coal at s25 ton
None of the coal beds have been
permanently developed. The coal
produced was mined from the orOp.
pings along the sea cliff and boated
of to the ships through the surf.
There 10 no harbor for VESSELS nor
protection from any but south winds.
In 1913 a small amount OF coal,
probably not exceeding twenty or
thirty tons, was produced at tha
Corwiu niue. In 1904 about twenty
tons were takeu by the steamship
Corwin, aud about ten more tons
we're mined for consumption at the
Point Hope whaling station.
The Paleozoic Goals out crop at
three points along the coast, four.
eight, and twelve miles, respectively,
south Of Cape Lisburne. The coal
hearing formation extends southward
for distance of about forty miles
aud reaches the oUast sRain vt Cape
Thompson. Beds over four feet In
thickness occur at each OF the
localities noted. No analyst, OF
these Goals has yet been made. They
are bituminouss and OF considerably
better grade than the Mesozoic coals
of the region. They are totally
undeveloped. but In 1903 few tons
we're mined from croppinas In the
sea cliffs and used at the Point Hope
whaling station.

Preserving the water Front.

1t Is characteristic Of the wide
spread movement for outer park sys-
TENS that the water front of our cities
Is becoming more and more appreciate
ed. The general plan is to preserve the
valleys of small streams In their en-
tlrety and to construct artificial EN-
bankments along rivers, so building
them that they shall not interfere with
the business of the railroads and quays
which have usually appeared on the
scene. This is one of the stated objects
of the park movement in Philadelphia
and Washington and one of the studies
which the improvement commission OK
New York is undertaking. 1t is gener-
ally true also of the proposals that
have been made for other cities. Provi-
dence and Baltimore have just secured
reports on proposed park systems in
which the preservation of the valleys
Of streams is the predominant feature.

LURED BY LIGHT.
Some New Nocturnal Experiences OF
south American Insects.

Interesting results have followed the
introduction of the electric light in the
streets Of Port of Spain, Trinidad. The
largely populated insect world of that
region has never before seen such bril-
liant Illumination as the are lights Of
fered, and they have shown great curl
osity, says the Chicago Inter Ocean.
Every morning the ground under the
lamps is found to be strewn with thou
sands Of dead insects of many varie-
ties. II is impossible to walk without
treading on them.

exhaustible some of the varieties
would certainly be doomed to extlnc-
ton. In fact, one kind is evidently less
lights were installed.
This Is Il kind OF giant water bug, of
which such incredible numbers were
destroyed that the bug has come to be
generally known as the electric beetle.
The lamps are no longer visited by the
crowds of these bugs that at first came
TO inquire Into the meaning of the
strange brilliance. Either the species
has been greatly depleted through the
destruction of many thousands of its
members or else some kind of instinct
has told them that arc lamps are dan
gerous things to NEEDLE with
The owls In their wisdom have
learned to profit by the fascination
which the arc lamp has for insects.
As the Illumination is turned on at
nightfall the owls may be seen wend-
ing their way to the neighborhood of
the lamps, for they have discovered
that their prey is more abundant there
than anywhere else. ntt
The feast is spread before them, and
all they have to do is to dash out from |
the trees and capture a moth 'or bee |

zIing goal. Then the owls return TO
their perches and wait for the next
conner.

use of the lights In this unsportsman.
like manner for catching moths and
other insects.
Not few explorers In tropical re-
gions have complained that it is i'm
possible to have light in camp during
the night without mourning unpleasant
visitations from myriads of insects.
One OF them recently wrote that he
was often forced to dine In the dark,
as an attempt to use a light attracted
swarms of flies. which got into his
eyes and dropped into his food.

bottom for finish. These bags hold
surprising amount. Fifteen cents
worth OF ratfia will make bag that

way to earn spending money is by
