The Pole Star.

We will try to give you some idea of the distance that separates us from the pole star. As you know, light travels at the rate of about 1s6,00O miles a second-more than seven times round the earth while you are saying John Robinson" slowly. Well, sup pose that a ray of light, travelling at this terrific speed of a million miles in less than five and a half seconds, had started from the polar star on its journey to the earth at the moment of your birth that particular ray will not reach you until you are more than halfway between your thlrty-sixth and thirty-seventh birthdays. When you look on the pole star you see 1t not as it Is today, but as 1t was about fifty years ago.

DUST IN OUR EYES.
We at Times Collect Curious ThinSH
 Without Looking For Them.

We at Times Collect Curious Thi1SH
 Without Looking For Them.
 Few people are aware, says Fred W. Saxby in the Strand Magazine, that we are all constantly collecting curl ous things without looking for them:
 In the very act of looking up at the Heeting spectacle of a fiery orb the reader with the big, wide open eyes may easily receive h one of his own orbs a tiny sphere from afar that was produced in a glowing streak of light like the one he Is admiring.
 Meteoric dust Is ever falling and up on all parts of our planet. The little spheres have been found upon the decks of ships far out at sea, tn all the deserts of the earth and on the tops of snow clad mountains. DredS- ings brought up from the silent depths Of the ocean give testimony of their universal presence. The particles all contain iron and are easily collected by the magnet from the roof of any outhouse or other place exposed d. rectly to the sky.
 Seafarers are sometimes pelted with dust of quite a different kind, compos- ed of the microscopic finty skeletons of beautiful plants called "diatoms."
 These tiny plants live in both salt and fresh water and occur tn enor- nous numbers in some localities. Oc- caslonally water courses and inundat- ct areas dry up. and the finty shells of the dlatoms which grew there are blown about as dust. There are sev- eral instances on record of diatoma- ceous dust falls at sea. During the thickest part of the fall the sailors have experienced much pain in their eyes. the inflammation being caused by the little finty shells.

SkagWay Is a Progressing
 City

Notice the great work of the cham Der of commerce! Take glance at the sidehin! They aae building a road from the city to the highest peak of Mount Dewey to introduce Skag- ways visitors to the wonderful mechan- ism of nature. They also are publish ing booklets to let the whole world know how gold nuggets grow on trees, how the streets of Skagway are covered with yellow gold dust, how mountains are white with mountain goats and sheep, how the beach of Skagway hart or IS covered with beautiful naturally pol ished shells, which form semi-circle of rainbow tints, how thousands of acres of timber land surround the city in which grows the valuable Alaska cedar, and telling people to cut their tales short and come to Skagway, Alaska.
 At the store of J. Ikuta, the optician, on Broadway, they take gold nuggets of the trees and mount them into pins, rings, chains, bracelets, and other use ful jewelry; shells are made into useful jewelry and ornaments that are beauti- ful to look at; they eveL tear of the horns of the mountain goats and sheep and make napkin rings, drinking cups, toothpick holders, match holders and other useful articles; Alaska cedars are made into plaques with views of Skag- way and different places of interest and very artistic burnt work. All of these things are manufactured in skilliul manner. Don't fail to call and see these nice things and remember that this is the place at which to buy prizes and holiday presents.

SECRETARY SEWARD.

His Influence Upon the Foreign Pol
 ley Of This Country.
 The importance of Secretary Sew ards Influence ln the domestic affairs of the United States during JohnsOn's administration has probably been ex- aggerated, but It would be hard to ex- acgerate the importance of what he achieved and of what be initiated in bis own proper field of diplomacy. Ills chief. occupied as be was with fierce controversies over other subjects found, we may well suppose, but little time for foreign relations. He does not appear to have interfered with policies which were already adopted or to have initiated any new policies of his own. Seward must therefore be held respon- slblc to a degree somewhat unusual for the conduct of the delicate negotia- tons. involving very far reaching con sentences, which the war gave rise to. It was he who first presented America to Europe In that attitude of conscious strength which the thorough establish ment of our nationality at last enabled us to take. It was he who reasserted effectively. yet without any arrogance, our traditional stand in reference to the Latin republics to the south of us. It was he who, facing westward, ac- compllshed an expansion of our sys- tenn into a region never contemplated until his day by those who guided our destinies and turned our thoughts up on the shores of the Pacific as field for American trade and American In luence. - William Garrott Brown in Atlantic.

\ treat in an Australian wilderness camp is thus described by an explorer: "On our way down, of course, 1t was necessary to stop at McLeOd's camp to get something to clear the bronchial tubes. There was one great Scotch man among the party, who said, when asked him what hls poison was, 'Weel, I'll just take tin of fruit He had a tin of pineapple. Now, the price of preserved fruit at that time and in such a place was something to make you sit up, so that Scotchman scored" |"
