Alaskan Climate Not Bad

Mosquito wells and long gauntlets are
some protection against these insects,
which in Alaska. so the prospectors
declare, look as big as rabbits and
bite like dogs"
There is curious theory among
prospectors and others in Alaska that
in the mountains and the interior an
animal exists which is neither wild
sheep nor a mountain goat. This is
believed by some to be a species of
ibex, an animal which has never yet
been identified in North America. 1t
is thought to be possible that this
animal may turn out to be no more
than the descendant of domestic goats
which have long since reverted to the
wild state.
On the other haid. there is no sound
reason why wild ibeX should not be
found in the heart of Alaska, scien-
lists say. Asia and North America
are here very near together. Ages
ago they were probably united and.
as ibex are found in Asia. it is quite
within the bounds of possibility that
they also exist n Alaska.

A hunter and traveller who recently
ended an expedition through some of
the widest parts of Alaska says that
the climate of that country is not so
terrible as has been alleged. After
spending seven months in the country
in a season noteworthy for the eN-
treme lateness and severity of the
spring he bears ample testimony to
the decency of the weather. Life in
a small cotton tent was not unbear-
able. even in April. Many days in
May left much to be desired" he
writes. but others were just about
as good as could be wished. During
June. and from thence onward to the
end of September the weather was a
great revelation to our party, bad
Gather being an unknown quantity.
The summer closely resembled very
fine summer season in Norway, with
the exception that l have not seen
in that country such long spells of
days without rain or wind as those
i'll the Kenai peninsula" But, on the
other hand. mosquitoes are a great
curse, even to the toughened hunter.

material. so that in the event OF acci-
dent the hazard of the clerks shall
be less. The second is to provide for
the men more pay in accordance
with the perilous nature of their work.
Risk of life should be rewarded in
the envelope. not because flesh and
blood can be expressed in dollars and
cents. but because the men earn more
by their constant danger than others
Another desirable thing would be a
system of insurance for all such en-
ployes. We believe that as the world
grows more civilized employers who
subject their workers to daily risk of
their lives will recognize the justice
of providing some kind of assurance
for their families independent of what
the men may possess in their own
societies. This we believe is only
quid pro quo. Many occupations are
notoriously unsafe. The work, how
ever has to be performed. 1t is neces-
sary that some men risk life and limb
in order for the world to move along
snd those who do should be held to
be trust by those who are the bene-
flciaries of their sacrifice.-Woon.

The postmaster general has had a
timely word to say about the peril to
which railway postal clerks are SUBJ
jected in their calling. Theirs is in
deed an unusually hazardous calling.
They are penned up in strong cars.
Unlike the engine crew, brakemen and
even conductors. they have no way of
warning when disaster approaches.
The engineer and fireman usually see
the cause OF accident before 1t hap
pens. and may save themselves, al
though to their credit be it said. very
few engineers abandon their trust
until everything has been done to
save the passengers. and not often
even then. So with brakemen and
conductors. There is always a pos
sible chance for them. But the mail
clerks live as rats in a cage. II seri-
Gus accident accurs they have little
hope of saving themselves. Statistics
show that disasters to trains carry
ing United States mail cars are gen.
orally accompanied by the death of
one or more of the clerks.
The first thing for the government
to do evidently is to insist that mail
coaches shall be constructed of better

Money in Alligator Raising

for 81 apiece to visitors from the
Forth. AS many alligators are raised
to maturity as the inclosed swamps
and streams of the alligator farm will
permit. They are valuable for the:
hides, which are used for bags, belts,
purses and like purposes.
The supply of alligators is much
less than the demand, as the hide
hunters have killed off all they could
find. and there is as yet no close sea
son in the game laws for their pro-
lection. Like the terrapin. they are
becoming extinct in their wild state.
At the alligator farms no more old
alligators are kept than are needed
for breeding purposes. Most of them
are sold when month or six weeks
old. and the others are killed at an
early age, when their hides are more
pliable and easily worked.
Alligator farming so far has proved
profitable ndustry.-Amateur Nat

Christine Nilsson and Signor Tag

rating barytone) the Valentine, and so
on. Tagliapietra was of and had
invited some German friends to a

old Moretti restaurant in East Four

drawing to a close the singer found
the feast lacking in what he consid-
cred the essential lmburger cheese
for his Teutonic guests. and ascer-
tanning Moretti could not supply them
with 1t, rushed forth to an establish
ment in the vicinity. where he pur-
chased quantity and was returning
herewith when he ran into the arms
of the Impresario Strakosch, who was

Hatching alligators is the latest use
to which incubators have been put.
Beginning with chickens, ducks. geese
and turkeys, the use of incubators
was extended to ostriches and babies
and now a manager of an alligator
farm in Arkansas has adopted the use
of incubators there.
An alligator is in its propasatins
habits between a fish and hen. 1t
swims in the water like fish and lays
eggs. but instead of laying them in
the water it goes out and makes a
nest on the land like hen.
In this nest it lays twenty-five or
thirty eggs. and then trusts to the
warm weather to hatch them out. The
period of incubation of alligator eggs
is not accurately known. but it ap-
proximates FIVE weeks. or fortnight
longer than chicken eggs. or a week
longer than duck eggs.
Most of the alligators hatched at
the alligator farms are sold ~ infancy

s NATURES GREAT DISINFECTANT.
1 Let the Sunlight Reach Every Corner of the
House and Destroy the Germs.

Natures great disinfectant is sun
light. 1t is a most interesting fact
that this wonderful light, which pro-
notes the growth of useful plants and
sustains animal life, at the same time
destroys by its very brightness all
sorts of germs which are brought in
contact with it. 1t is this fact alone
which renders the earth inhabitable.
Germs develop with such marvellous
rapidity that they would quickly over
whelm us by their very numbers II
not constantly destroyed by the sun.
A little computation will readily show
this. Some germs are capable OF such
rapid multiplication that they may
double every fifteen minutes under
favorable conditions of temperature
and food supply. Estimate the num-
Der OF germs which might be pro-
duced In a single day of twenty-four
hours. or ninety-six doublings. The
number would be more than thirty
two thousand billion billions. or suf-
ficient to cover eighty thousand
square miles foot deep. or NIL a
space Of more than fifteen cubic
miles. The increase of a minute or
ganism occupying a cubic space of
not more than one twenty-thousandth
of an inch to such prodigious magni-
tude is beyond comprehension. and
practically cannot occur; for while
the germ may grow at this immense
rapidity for short time. the poisons
which 1t produces become destructive
to itself. The material upon which 1t
feeds is also exhausted. so that its
growth ceases.
Doubtless all have noticed the fact
that mold grows during the night and
in dark, damp cellars. Bright sun
light quickly destroys germs. mold,
and other parasitic organisms. Diff
fused daylight does not act nearly so
rapidly, but accomplishes in the
course of few hours what bright
sunlight is capable of doing in a few
minutes. 1t is clearly evident, then.
that In order that our houses should
be kept free from germs. they. like
our bodies, should be made full of life.
The shutters should be opened, the
curtains raised, and the light admit
ted to every room in the house. clos
cts included, so that the disinfecting
power of light may be exercised in
every nook and corner OF the dwell
ing.

Amono the Liobt Fabrics.

Ever since fashion veered around
to soft. lightweight stuffs that could
be shirred and draped and tucked and
made into full. wide costumes. manu-
facturers all over the world have
been working to turn heavy fabrics
into light. stiff materials into supple
without losing the characteristics OF
each material.
Nobody thought it could be done
with taffeta. yet soft finish taffeta has
been achieved. and has leaped into
popularity with single bound. Among
the spring suits none is much prettier

important part.
