The WarninJ in a Sneeze.

"As a general thing, sneez;ng is Ma
tutes warning to get warmer in some
way or other and quickly" is the gist
of an article by Dr.. w. K. Conant in
Modern Medical Science.
The question of temperature and
ventilation" he says. 'is one OF the
most difficult winter problems So
much depends upon circumstances and
individual idiocyncrasy that it is hard
TO lay down any definite rules. An in

for a vigorous person or one in active
motion is dangerous for one who is
delicate or sitting and doing head

"As a general rule IL may be said

Portland, Ore.-"There will be big
money taken out of Nome every year for
20 years. The output of gold ought to
ine~ease yearly"
This is the way j. ]. Underwood, OF
Nome, sizes up the situation in the far
northland. Mr.. Underwood returned re-
Gently from Nome, and has charge of
the exhibit made by the enterprising
chamber of commerce of the Seward
Peninsula metropolis, at the Lewis and
Clark fair.
Between last November and the first
of June, the output of gold from the
Nome district amounted to $2,S73, 00N."
continued Mr.. Underwood, land it IS
likely that the output for the year 1905
will exceed that Of any previous year.
The summer season, regularly Of 100
days, has been shortened by some so
days this year because of bad storms,
but the unusual amount brought out
during the winter, and the use of ex-
pensive machinery on a number of
claims this summer will bring the total
above that of any previous year."
Mr.. Underwood talks Interestingly of
the future of winter mining, which, he
says, was carried on extensively for the
first time last winter, and proved decid-
edly practicable. Indeed, in some mines,

has to be sunk in order to reach the pay

CAN DETECT HUMAN BLOOD
New Method of Distinguishing It
from That of Animals Is
Discovered.

Consul General Guenther of Frank
surgeon, DR.. Uhlenhuth, who has been
transferred to the hygienic institute of
the University of Greifswald, is the dis
cOverer of new method for distin-
gushing human from animal blood. In
1897 DR.. Uhlennuth was assistant at the
institute for infectious diseases at Ber-
lin, and is a member of the commission
for investigating the foot-and- mouth
disease.
In the fall of 1900 DR.. Uhlenhuth pub
,ished important investigations with
reference to distinguishing between'the
albumen of eggs of various birds upon
the basis of modern science, which is
mainly the result of the researches of
Bordet of France and Ehrlich of Frank
fort Uhlenhuth found that these al
bumens can be Differentiated biological
ly. His researches resulted in the i'm
portant discovery of new forensic
method, was soon confirmed on all
NAL blood so that it is now possible to
tell with absolute certainty the origin of
even the smallest traces of blood either
in dry or also in putrefied form. This
method, was soon confrfimedfi on all
sides, and has become of fundamental
Importance for forensic medicine.
BY his method he can tell the pres
ence of horse meat in sausages and other
smoked meat articles, which is great

The biggest block, at the bottom of this
pyramid is 81 inches in diameter, and Is
equal in size to gold worth 81, 20k 600, the
output of Nome and the Seward penin-
sula in 1904.
The gilt blocks are wonderfully con-
vincing to the visitor at the fair who
knows nothing of Nome, but gold
brick, nearly as large as two building
bricks, placed end to end, which contains
$4,000 worth of gold that is purer than
the gold in a $40 coin, is even stronger
evidence to most people. The gold brick
is the largest ever cast, being II inches
long by four inches wide and five inches
deep, and it weighs approximately so
pounds.
But if, after these two evidences, ono
still doubts the richness of the Nome
land, there is a large assortment of most
convincing displays. The one of these
which attracts the most interest is a
nugget of gold weighing 1872 ounces and
worth 1926 1t is the biggest nugget
ever found anywhere, and was discov-
cred on No. bench claim on Anvil
creek, by a miner who struck 1t with
