TROPlC SPOT IN THE ARCTIC

verdant Basin Where Miners Can
 Always Take a Hot Bath.
 Latest Nome advices received at Dawson give details of wonderful hot springs which make verdant spot just below the latitude of the Arctic ocean in the midst of winter, says a Tacoma (Wash.) special dispatch. These springs are located on Reed river, 100 miles northwest of Riley camp, in the Kobuk river country.
 The thermal zone covers a large basin, where 1t is possible for travel CTS to dferobe at any time of the year and bathe in warm water. Snow nev- CT falls there, and the grass is always green. Vegetation is luxuriant, with abundance of ferns six feet high. Min CTS go there and bathe during the win ter months when the thermometer only a few miles away registers 60 to 70 below zero. Fish may be caught in the river the year round and cooked in the springs.
 Two days travel from the springs, on the Hoatak side of the ridge, the Lucky Six Mining company has taken out considerable gold and also some rich silver quartz.

Incident on Steamer That Depicted

 An incident which occurred in the smoking room of the Hamburg-Amer- ican Hner Moltke on the first night out from Cherbourg and which created no inconsideTable amusement among the passengers served to prove that Rich ard Strauss, the composer and con- ductor, who arrived in the United States recently, has a keen sense of humor. The musician was seated at a table with Poultney Rigelow, listening to discourse on continental versus American architecture delivered with no little warmth by young architect of New York city, when Henry Will Hams, head lion tanner for Carl Hagen beck, entered the room.
 "I have coIhe," Mr. Williams began, ito beard the lions in their den'

SIMPLICITY OF THE POPE.

How He Once Prepared Coffee For ~
 Guest With His own Hands.
 William J. D. Croke in his "Anec- dotes of the New Pope" published in the Century Magazine for March, tells the following anecdote about Plus x. before he was elected to his high of flee:
 One morning early a friend of mine, a Venetian nobleman, called on him. Mgr. Sarto had said mass and settled down to work. His sisters had gone out to mass or for the household mar keting, which they were doing at the Rialto on Aug. 4, 1908, the day of wonders in their simple life.
 Has the count taken coffee?" asked the bishop.
 "Well, to tell the truth, no, because the business was urgent, and I have come straight from the railway sta tion," the guest replied.
 No excuse availed, and Mgr. Sarto rose and went into the kitchen. So the bishop of ducal Mantua and his guest might have been seen thera talk ing and laughing, while monsignore coaxed the charcoal with black kitchen fan, the coffee tizzed in a tin pot on the range, and the count got distinguished host what menial service he could. Then they had coffee to- gether at the kitchen table.

N Rays From Plants.

Botanists have recently been investi- gating the N rays, and we are told that they are emitted from plants, as well as from nerves and muscles, and that the Hucrescent screen will glow when brought near to the plant, especially the leaves and the roots, where the ef- feet is more pronounced than i'll the case of the flower, says Harper's Week. ly. N rays are emitted from such plants as onions and mushrooms, so that they do not seem to depend upon the pres ence of chlorophyll, or green celoring matter, their intensity being apparently due to the activity and condition of the vegetable protoplasm. This was shown by the fact that the N rays were pro- duced from germinated seedlings and not from these which had not germi- mated, while their emission was stop ped entirely on using chloroform to sus- pend the vital activity of the plant.

TOO BUSY TO FIND A WIFE.
Nebraska Farmer Asks Minister to Get n Helpmeet For Him.

~CG N E1SAPAAGCt ~ OT
 A few days ago an Omaha paper printed an item to the effect that the Rev. Charles W. Savidge, pastor of the Peoples church, had performed 1000 marriage ceremonies In his lifetime.
 James Shell, farmer in western Ne braska who is reputed to be worth $500, 0,0o0, read the item, and the other day he called at the parsonage and asked MT. Savidge if he could not look him up wife, says an Omaha dis patch.
 q have 1000 acres of land, 5000 head of cattle, hundreds of horses and a good heme," he said, "but have no wife and am too busy to look for one. If you will find me one will agree to pay you handsomely for her and will, if you desire, furnish you ample capi- tai to establish a matrimonial agency. I believe, sir, you would make good matrimonial agent, and I'd like to help you get start" :..' a,E MT. Savidge did not accept his offer.

FEEDING COLLEGE MEN.

 Harvard.

Results of c New System on Trial az
 Harvard.
 Vegetarians, who are interested in tho spread of their convictions about the proper nourishment of the human body, will doubtless approve the new methodi of feeding college undergra duatea which is on trial this year by the Haf-i yard Dining associat ton, which uses Memorial hall, in Cambridge, says Har- per's Weekly. The association does not furnish the cheapest board the nar-I yard undergraduates can get There are two eating clubs that are less expen-' siye. But 1t tries to keep the price of food as low as it can. Until this year, 1t supplied meals on the "Ameyaeanl plan" for a price per week that was determined by its expenses. But ind; ing that there was expensive waste. N chiefly in meat, fish and eggs, 1t devised new plan. It split the price of boardl into two parts. Each boarier now orr ders the meat, fish and eggs that he, wants and pays for what he has. But, the cost of all other provisions tea, coffee, milk, butter, vegetables, bread, cereals and frufts-and the cost of service and running expenses are shar- ed by all alike. Last year board at Memorial hall cost $4.20 week. This year vegetarian board costs $200 al week. Bearders who are content with 1t need pay no more. Those who want meat pay II or 12 cents plate for beef and get two eggs for cents.
 The new system is said to be very. popular. It seems exceptionally fa- vorable for experiments with vegetable diet and is likely, one, would think, to yield statistics of considerable interest. The member of this associa ton who simply eats what is set before him be- comes vegetarian for the time being without special thought or care He Is not tempted to eat meat because it is brought to him or because he has to pay for it whether he wants it or not l No doubt many boarders who don't eschew meat altogether materially re- duce their consumption of it.

This body of. water is el11ptical, hay. ing length of six miles and a width of four. In the early days the Indians viewed Crater lake and its surround ings as holy ground and approached it with reverence< To them it is one of the spots made sacred by the presence of the Great Spirit. None but medi- cine men visited it, and when one of a tribe felt called upon to become a teacher and healer he spent several weeks on the shore of the lake fasting with the dead and in prayer to the Shahullah Tyee.
 The shores of Crater lake are precip- itous and rugged, towering at many points to height of 2,000 feet above the water. The waters edge can only be reached by few narrow, winding trails. Tire expanse of the lake is un- broken save by Wizard island, a cone shaped mountain that rises 800 feet above the surface near the western shore. Wizard island was the last smoking chimney of the volcano
 The water of the lake is cold, clear and pure as the melted snowdrops of the surrounding peaks can make it. There are no fish save some placed there in recent years, and the scarcity of vegetation will make it hard for these to survive. Over the deep blue expanse and its surrounding solitudes reigns silence that borders on the sublime. 1t is but little wonder that the savage red man believed the Great Spirit slept in the bosom of Crater lake.

BOIL WEEviL PROBLEM.
Department of Agriculture's DfreC-
 tfons to Destroy the Pest.


 Department of Agriculture's DfreG-
 tiOns to Destroy the Pest.
 The department of agriculture has issued bulletin giving directions for the eradication of the boil weevil, says Washington special to the St. Louis Republic. The bulletin says:
 ''The earlier Investigations O. the di- vision of entomology and it's work the past season warrant the recommenda- l tion of the following methods of less ening the boil weevil injury: Plant an early maturing variety of cotton as early as possible in the spring and give the plants good culti- vation. By good cultivation is meant five or six plowings, with three or four choppings. By plawing and cultivating in this way good c11p may usually be insured before the bollworms be- come destructive in August. In the territory infested with the cotton boil weevil this course becomes doubiy necessary, as it is only by such meth ods that ordinarily a crop of cotton may be made.
 "The possibility of the plants devel- oping crop after the bollworms may leave is removed on account of the presence of the weevil. Early planting of early maturing varieties will also allow of the crop being gathered much earlier in the fall than is possible with the plantings of ordinary gin seed at the usual time.
 'It will thus become possible to considerable extent to clear the land of the plants and blow in the fall, which, aside from being good farm practice, will exert a very beneficial influence in controlling the bollworms by breaking open their Information cells and exposing the pupe to the tn- fiuences of cold and rain during the winter.
 Experiments with poisons the past year indicate that these may be profit ably used in lessening bollworm in- jury to cotton. The peisons should be applied to the plants in time to insure the destruction of the maximum num- Der Of young larve of the August gen eration. In general this will be about Aug. l.
 "when it is noticed that the moths are becoming abundant in the cotton fields the first application should be made, and second application should follow the first week or ten days later. The occurrence of even a moderate rain shortly after the poison has been applied will necessitate another appH- cation if best results are to be se- cured"

Siberian railway interests. Korea has become necessity to Russia.
 But Japan cannot afford to surrender Korea. It is historically and of neces- sity the main artery of her vital con- nection with Asia. It is only 125 miles across the Korean strait. And Fusan is but ten hours away from Simono- seki, the gate of the Inland sea. To yield Korea to a hostile power is to expose herself to peril along the whole western side of her territory. She needs Korea as a commercial outlet. She had both Korea and Manchuria as a result of the war with China and has now surrendered one and by far the larger and more profitable of these She has struggled to lead China and Korea cut into civilization. She now sees the Russian glacier slowly nov ing across both of them, walling her out from her natural destiny and bar ring before her any entrance to the continent of whichsrshe has dreamed that she was to be the savior.

 Congress last year created Crater Lake National park in Oregon. Within the 249 square miles embraced by this park there are as many natural won- ders of mountains, snow clad peaks, forests, plains and streams as are to be found in any similar area of the west. Though comparatively unknown, the new park possesses many natural the Yellowstone, says dispatch from Grants Pass, Ore.
 The lake and its surrounding won- ders, comprising the new park, are To- 'cated on the range of the Cascade noun tains, northwest Klamath county, and eighty miles from the railroad. A spur line Is being built from the Southern Pacific into that part of Oregon and will ultimately reach the park.
 The present method of reaching Cra- ter lake is by team. Travelling up the Rogue from the railroad, one finds the valley narrowing and the farmhouses f f4CSSCuAAS, W1AALC LUG EIFcr, STOWS SWAltEI, the forests grow denser and the noun tains more rugged. At distance of fifty miles from the valley the Rogue narrows to a width of seventy-f1ve feet and flows with great rapidity through a deep gorge. Here the river has an average fall of 200 feet to the mile.
 Great columns or pyramids of cement rise from the bottom of the gorge. These columns are forty to fifty feet through at the base and attain height of hundred and more feet. These strange formations were composed of a harder substance than that which ! surrounded them and did not yield so readily to the action of the water as it cuts its way deeper and deeper into the gorge.
 When within twelve miles of the lake evidences Of volcanic action are seen falong the Rogue. These are silent re- hinder of the time when Mount Maza- ma, then the greatest mountain of the Cascades, threw forth volumes of fre smoke and lava. Then the day came when the great volcano had spent it's energy, and it's fires died out. The crater cooled and filled with water, Corning lake of match!ess beauty.

 The old fashioned long earring has come into favor again, says a London dispatch to the New York American and Journal. One style consists of a stlld and pendant, usually made of the same stone, only of the far rarer pear shaped variety. Lady Leucha Warner has turquoise earrings of this sort--a round turquoise set in diamonds as a stud and long, egg shaped turquoise as the pendant. Another style Is to have long earrings made of delicate filigree gold work studded with dia- monds and colored stones. Americans seem especially fond of single pearl earrings of price.

QUIET FOURTH OF JULY.

Chicago Women Would SubstitUta Poems and Oratory For Fireworks.
 If future Fourth of July celebrations are to be held in accordance with tho formula set down by the Ravenswood Women's club of Chicago the other day there will be howl from all Young America, says the Chicago In- ter Ocean.
 "A bas the fatal frecracker and the death dealing giant powderv' was the keynote of the conversation" in which the club members discussed 'The Bet ter Way to Celebrate the Fourth of July"
 Here is the sweeping substitution In celebration proposed at the meeting: Present celebration: Future ceIehrntionsS Cannon f1recracker. National anthem. Skyrocket. Red lig,ht. "Nigger chaser" Patriotic poem. Anvil dynamite. School exercises Hilarious celebration. Settlement picnic. Fancy fireworks. Teachers orations Individual fun. Public lluMinaticu2 Roman candles. Chewing gum. Brass bands. Mufaed drums.
 There will not be much use in being a small boy if the club women have their way and oust the flrecracker.
 
 Fireworks contain bacteria of lock- jaw" said Dr. Wladislaw A. KudUw~s ski of the board of education, who was one of the speakers. Death and injury result from them. Let the chil- l dren have good time on the Fourth 1 of July in quiet way. Picnics, pub lie illuminations, public concerts in the park and orations and recitations by the children and poems and nation al songs in the schools on the Fourth l would teach them glorious opinion of l the significance of the day without the terrible loss of life and property we have each year from the terrible fireI works"
 Mrs. T. P. Stanwood and Judge Hol- ! dom were the other speakers. and they i supported the opinion that the fire cracker was a dangerous thing and should be done away with, Fourth of July or not.

Meanwhile she has pushed steadily forward in an aggressive pol icy i'll Korea. The wonderful thing has been not that Japan has looked upon all this with amazement and an- ger, but that she has dealt with it with patience and self control
 She has proposed to. Russia that they agree in recognizing the integrity of both China and Korea, each power to be acknowledged to have peculiar in- terests, Russia in Manchuria and Ja- pan in Korea. From the point of view of Japan and in the light of history this is fair and honorable proposi- ton. It is a proposition on which Ja- pan is entitled to the moral sympathy and support of the world.
