Professor Ernst Haeckel's Important
work, 'The Riddle Of the Universe"
has recently been translated into Jap
anese, Chinese and Hebrew. At differ
ent times the volume has appeared In
twelve other languages, while more
than 100000 copies OF the German
original have been sold.
Rev. John Francis Lee, pastor Of the
Metropolitan African Methodist Epis-
copal Zion Church, of Norfolk, y is
attracting much attention in the u y
as a poet, many believing that he is til
coming negro poet Of America, taking
up the minstrel harp dropped by the
late Paul Laurence Dunbar.
The Russian military commander,
Gen. Kuropatkin, has finished his his
torical work In relation to the causes
of the Russian defeat in the far east
and the English translation will doubt
less soon be got under way Gen. XII
ropatkin undertakes to prove that his
plans were repeatedly upset by orders
from St Petersburg.
The astonishing fact has just come
to light that Professor Richard Gar
nett, librarian Of the British Museum,
who died recently, for years had de-
voted much time to the black art of
astrology. Even more extraordinary is
the circumstance that the business men
Of New York and other cities regular
ly consulted him regarding contempla-
ted ventures

that his favorite "refreshers" are of
Imagination all compact is much de-
ceiyed. The novelist of genius is even
more given to the taking Of notes than
is the lesser writer who turns off sto-
ries I'm the way of trade" Balzac, his
sister has told us, wherever he went
studied what he saw, setting down
everything which revealed character
or painted a situation. His meat
safe" was the odd name he gave to
the book which held these notes. Dick
ems recorded diligently his observations
OF popularity in person as well as
strange incidents, suggestive names,
available scenery and the like. Even
one so little given to realism" in the
modern sense as Hawthorne had an
ample store Of useful notes. Wllkie
Collins Is quoted by an old acquaint-
ance In Chambers Journal, as declar-
ing that he founded nearly all his
plots on facts, on incidents he haG
heard Of or read, or on a desire to ex-
pose or correct some abuse of his time
Great was his wrath when he was ac-
cused Of introducing sensational and
improbable episodes In his book, The
Woman in White" He knew, he said,
Of very few instances in which fiction
exceeded the probability Of reality and
then he revealed the source Of many
Of his plots in the shape of dilapi-
dated collection of records of French
crime picked up on an old bookstall in
Paris. Here is prize" he exclai.n-
ed, and so it turned out to be. The
Woman In White" was derived from
those Wondering records. "The plot
of that" said Collins, has been called
outrageous; the substitution and burial
OF the mad girl for Lady Clyde, and
the Incarceration Of Lady Clyde as the
mad girl. 1t was true, and it was
from the trial Of the villain Of the plot

President Roosevelt visited the
North Atlantic fleet on Cape Cod Sat
urday and left with enthusiastic praise
for the feet. The crew of the battle
ship Missouri. on which the president
spent the day, cheered themselves
noarse as he left the ship at 1880, for
they had had an hour presented to
them which no other crew in the navy
had ever received. The president and
mis- guests sat down to dinner with the
laekies. This feature of the trip was
a surprise both to the officers and the
men.

Ants are really very long lived, con-
sidering their minuteness. Janet had
two queens under observation for ten
years, and one of Sir John Lubbock's
ant pets lived into her fifteenth year.
Ants are very tenacious Of life after
severe injury. Following loss of the
entire abdomen they sometimes live
two weeks, and In one case head
less ant, carefully decapltated by an
tiseptc surgery, lived for forty-one
days. A carpenter ant after being sub
merged eight days In distilled water
came to life upon being dried, so that
they are practically proof against
drowning.
They can live for long periods with
out food; In one case the fast lasted
nearly nine months before the ant
starved to death.-Scientifc American.

patients had been inmates of the hos pltal for the year. Of these 95 were employees of the railroad and los out siders. Of the whole number there were only two deaths
 These patients have come not only from Skagway but from Dawson, Atlin, Whitehorse, Haines, Juneau, Douglas and other places. As a rule the patients from out of town were very serious cases. All of them were highly pleased with their treatment, the gen eral efficiency of the hospital corps and the preparedness of the hospital to care for them.
 During the last summer many physi- cians from the large cities of the states have visited the hospital. All of them have been very emphatic in their ex- prcssions of surprise and pleasure iu finding hospital so thoroughly equ D. ped aud so well managed so far from the bUundari-s beyond which they had believed civilization refused to go.

II IS GOOD
Skagwav Ills Thoroughly
 Equipped Hospital

The White Pass Employees hospital is one of the institutions with which Skagway will begin the New Year Of which every citizen has reason to be proud. It Is to very large ex- tent one of the opments of the good Old Year the sands of whose time have nearly all escaped.
 Under the experienced direction of Dr. F. c. Normac this institution has been all but transformed this year into a modern hospital, where the sick can get the attention and the benefit of ap plisnces and skill that usually are ob~ tainable only iu the large institutions of the large cities. Not only has the house been renovated from top to bot. tom but new equipment, new instru- ments, electrical appliances and other improvements, whose value is fully appreciated oaly by the profession, have been installed.
 For the purpose of improviu the sani- tary conditions and providing against contagion of any kind, all the rooms of the building have been hsrd-inished. The floors of all the wards and private rools have been finished with hard wood floors. The floors, walls and cell iugs are washed after the discharge of each patient and the room occupied dis infected. Every room in the building, including the wards, the private rooms, office, corridors, kitchen and dining rooms, lavatorieS, etc, are kept spot lessly clean and thoroughly disinfected.
 Hot and cold water and bath rooms have been installed on each floor of the building, and everything has been made as convenient and comfortable as in any twentieth century hospital.
 The operating room has been equip. ped with'a slerilizing machine from which ho, and cold water can be secured al any hour of the day or night. The room is made impervious to germs of all kinds and surgical instruments to the value of $500 have been placed in it. Across small hall from he operat jog IJom and ou the floor with most Ut the private rooms is the electrical room where the N-ray machine snd the other electrical appliances are in readiness for use. Here can be treated all the rheumatic and nervous deseases which stubbornly refuse to yeild 10 anything except electricity. The efficacy of the appliances when directed by knowledge and skill 's ing proved almost daily, Only the best of nurses and other as- slsJanJs are kept by the hospital. Tre reco:d of the hospital for the ye just closing is one of which all those conn. cled with it have much asoa 10 be proud. One week ago 2O3
