SOMETHING UNIQUE IN FOGS
The London Kind That Sometimes Is

Ayoung married friend of mine has re-
Gently had staying with him his wife's
mother, a very dear old country woman,
to whom the ways Of London are as a
sealed book, relates a writer in London
Tit-Bits.
The bedroom which the old dame oc-
cupied looks out upon the railway. and
as London was enveloped in fog for two
or three days during her visit she expert
enced a good deal of annoyance from that
apparently necessary nuisance, the fog
signal.
On the first morning of the fog, COM
ing down after a somewhat restless
night, she inquired the cause of the
banging which she had frequently
heard. Her son-in-law told her that It
was due to the fog, and as the old lady
did not ask any further questions the
matter dropped.
On her return to the country, how
ever she was full of the wonderful
things she had seen in London.
Did We see a Lonnon fog, granny"
said one of her listeners one evening,
when London was again the a~ll-absorb-
ing topic.
AYE, that 1 did," replied granny;
"and heard un tool"
Heard I'm, granny" inquired another
interested listener. How didst you
hear a fog?"
why" answered the old lady, per-
fectly in earnest, "Lonnon fog bain'tl like
ours; every now and then it goes off wi
q rare bang!"

LONG JOURNEY
 BY YUKON POLICE

From the Dawson News, Dec. 20.
 Stephen Bonnet Plume and Peter Shylow, the Mackenzie river In- dians who are to guide the police party from Dawson to Fort Me Pherson, at tue mouth of the Mac kenzie river, are at the barracks preparing for their long journey.
 The party is expected to get away the last of this week or early next week. The party will cross the Rocky Mountains after going up the Twelvemile river for a long distance. The Indians know the course well, and will be able to take the party where the urbroken trail will be easiest to travel.
 The police will carry nothing in the way of freight. Instructions to the men at tie fort is virtually all they will take aside from what is actually needed for the warmth and nourishment of the men and for food for the dogs.
 The Indians are of the branch of tie Mackenzies which have long made their home at the head of the Blackstone river, on the eastern slope of the Rockies. to the north west of Dawson. The tribe for. merly lived nearer the mouth of the Mackenzie. It comprises only about twenty men, women and children.

Volcanoes of the Moon.

The question as to whether the volcanoes of the moon are alive or dead has taken on special interest since Prof. w. H. Pickering, brother of E. C. Pickering, director of the Harvard observatory, has noted certain changes in one of the great craters of the moon, which would seem to indicate that occa- sionally there is slight volcanic action ill these enormous openings. The particular crater which has showu such curious changes is the great crater of Plato, which can be seen iu the northern limb of the moon. evfn by the naked eye. Blu, of course the changes can only be seen when the crater is viewed through such telescopes as Prof. Pickering is using at Lowe observ atory, near Los Angeles, Cal.

 work. Those who have come under the influence of civilization, even for limit ed period have proved their capability of becoming self-supporting, selfrespect- ing citizens. and ask only for the just er, forcement of the law and intelligent in- struction aud supervision. Others, living in more mote regions, primitive, simple hunters and fisher folk, who know only the life of the woods and the waters, are daily being confronted with twentieth century civilization with all of its com- plexities. Their country is being overrun by strangers, the game slaughtered and driven away, the streams depleted of fish. and hitherto unknown and fatal diseases brought to them, all of which combine to produce state of abject pov erty and want which must result in their extinction. Action in their interest is demanded by every consideration of jus tics and humanity.
 The needs of these peolle are:
 The abolition of the present fee system, whereby the native is degraded, imposed upon and taught the injustice of law.
 The establishment of hospitals at cen- tral points, so that contagious diseases that are brought to them continually by incoming whites may be local'zed and not allowed to become epidemic, to spread death and destruction over gr at areas.
 The development of the educational system in the form of practical training in such industries as will assure the Indians self-support under the changed conditions in which they will have to live.
 The duties of the office of the governor should he extended to include the super vision of Irdan affairs, with necessary assi tants i'll differ districts. He should be provided with the means and the power to prot ct and advise the ative people, to furnish medical tre atment in time of epidemics, and to c, md material relief in periods of famine ard extreme Restitution.
 The Alaskan natives should be given the right to acquire, hold and dispose of property uron the same coi ditions as given other inhabitants, and the privi- lege of citizenship should he given to such as may be able to meet certain defi- mite requirements.
