Anchoring TO Icberrs.

1t has been found that the currents
round the coast of Newfoundland make
at times a wide difference In the direc-
ton Of the drift of icebergs and that of
the fiat or pan ice, which, having no
great depth. is governed in its motions
by the surface currents and the winds.
The icebergs, the larger part of which
are submerged to a great depth, follow
only the movement of the ocean water
as a whole and are u%ninfuenced by the
winds. Thus a huge iceberg may often
be seen majestically maintaining its
slow advance in opposition to the wind
and across the general motion of the
fields of fiat Ice surrounding it. The
sealers often take advantage of this fact
by mooring their vessels to an iceberg
to prevent their ship drifting to lee
ward. The movement of these great
mountains of ice is practically ire
sistible.

ODD WOMAN's CLUB.
DOMINATING SOCIAL FORCES
WITHIN ARCTIC CIRCLES.
Has a Membership Of Nearly One Hun
dred Women and Exerts an In
huence for Great Good
Throughout Alaska.

Nome. Alaska.-The farthest north
woman's club In the world Is the Kegoa-
yah Kozga club of Alaska. 1t is unique
IN other ways besides being the only
woman's club within the arctic circle.
From a nucleus of two indomintable
spirits, the Kegoayah Kozga has grown
to a strength of nearly 100, and has
now an influence for great good in the
country Of snow and ice. 1t was started
for the purpose Of promoting social life
and greater intellectual development
among the intrepid women from all
parts OF the states and foreign countries
who bravely followed their husbands or
fathers into the land Of the midnightsun
to share their trials and hardships In
the search for wealth. Under the mis-
sionary spirit, however, 1t has grown
into one of greater usefulness, a real
benefit to the poor savages Of the north.
Wives and daughters Of judges, physi-
clans. mining experts and gold kings
are the members of this organization.
Women, many of whom during their
short sojourn In the north, have had
innumerable novel and thrilling expert
ences, more In a few months than their
sisters, living in luxury In the states,
have in a lifetime.
The members of this club during the
winter, which is the long season in
Alaska, have their reindeer and dog
teams, where their sisters OF the warmer
south have their carriages. Instead Of
whirling up to the door Of their friends

bright, crisp winters morn, the Aurora

How Much One Should Eat.

One of the much discussed questions
of the day on which there are almost
as many opinions as individuals is the
quantity Of food one should eat. Doc
tors all agree that the majority of peo-
pie eat too much. Babies from the
day of their birth are forced to eat
too much, and they grow up with this
artificial appetite. The most reasonable
estimate yet made is probably that
which fixes one-twentieth Of the average
weight of the body as the average daily
quantity required. If you weigh lao
pounds you should consume seven
pounds of food. This includes drink as
well as solid food. But II is ridiculous to
set down a hard and fast rule. Such a
quantity might kill some, and there is a
case on record Of a mar wasting away on
a diet of seven or eight pounds of food
a day. He cut down his diet to three
quarters of a pound Of liquid and the
same of solid food and a. a result he
grew stout and lived to a ripe old age.

BIG FLOATING FAIR.
WESTERN TOWN rs GoING AFTER
THE ORIENTAL TRAIE.
Seattle, Wash, Proposes to Show the
Asiatics What We Have to Sell
THE Fair to Sail
Next Year.

Seattle, Wash.-ThIs place comes to
he front with a twentieth century
development of the exposition idea
that promises Il have an important
bearing on the oriental trade that
everyone has heard so much about in
the last few years. Instead Of waiting
for people to come to a fair the Seat
tie people, or, rather the Northwestern
Commercial company of Seattle, pro-
poses to send the fair to the people
exclusively to people who have money
to buy goods. The exposition was to
have been started out this month, in
stalled on the steamship Victoria, but
the Russo-Japanese war upset the
scheme and the sailing date of the
floating fair as been postponed to
November Is, 1905.
The idea is to offer American COM
mercial houses an opportunity to send
representatives to establish permanent
agencies and also to make immediate
sales to the countries borderNg on the
Pacific ocean, which contain the larger
portion of the worlds population, and
which are in direct water communica-
ton with the United States. The
floating industrial exhibition will visit
the cities of Yokohama, Kobe, Nagasaki
(Port Arthur and V~ladivostok if war
conditions permit. Shanghai, Hong
kong, Manila, Singapore, Colombo,
Mauritius, Delagoa Bay Tor Valparaiso
and Callao, South America), Cape
Town, Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney
and Honolulu. The steamship will
remain from two to ten days in each
of the places named, according to
their importance, thus giving ample
opportunities to all interested to visit

Natures Inventions.

There Is probably 10 human inven-
tion which nature has not already
worked out beforehand for the con-
venience of some of her creatures.
Take, for instance, the ~hypodermic
syringe, which was invented only the
other day, and was heralded with a
flourish of trumpets. Its exact coun-
terpart is found in the sting of the
scorpion, almost the earliest creature
of the rocks. The electric light is a
great boon, but it is not a new thing.
The deep sea lines Of the Challenger
brought up fish which, swimming in
ocean darkness 5000 fathoms below,
have a row of lamps fitted along each
sside to light them in the pursuit of
food. There is a spider which makes
"a balloon and knows how TO manage 1t
perfectly. And n of the builders of
great lighthouses confesses that he
got his most valuable suggestion from
the bole of a tree.

NOT AS BAD as REPORTED.
His Unique Workroon at His Craw-

the idea and Characters
for "Ben Hur."

Charlottesville, Ind.-Gen. Lew Wal
lace, who, according TO the press dis
patches is in imminent danger OF dying,
is In not nearly such poor health as
many OF the correspondents would have
the public believe. He is IS years old,
and these years, together with an ag-
gravated case Of dyspepsia, accounts for
his present Ill health. but he is'not suf-
fering from the effects OF a surgical
operation for cancer of the stomach. as
the correspondents have repeatedly re-
ported.
AS the author Of Ben Hur' Gen. Wal
lace is known in practically every coun-
try Of the globe. No other book since
the days Of Pilgrims Progress has
been so widely read. An estimate indi-
Gates that from the total number of edi-
tons OF the book that have been sold
at least 1900, 900 people have read and
enjoyed the Hoosier soldiers beautiful
tale OF the lowly Nazarene. The drama
tization of the work, which was COM
pleted in 1901, further extended the gem
eral knowledge of the story and added
largely as well to the fame and profit
of the author.
The home of Gen. and Mrs. Wallace
is comfortable appearing. Set well back
in a tract Of four acres close to the CEN
ter of the city, 1t is surrounded by spa
cious grounds. Trees, many of which
MEDIATE the coming of the Elston fam
