LIKE EDGE OF THE WORLD
Unslsska, in the Aleskan Islands, a
Desolate Spot-Where White
Men May NOT land.

Unalaska resembles cher northern
stations, having warehouses, docks,
the inevitable Greek church and a
score of wooden cabins. Wha-ers leave
here for the Arctic regions.
Dutch Harbor is a stction for our
revenue feet. There is Jnuch coming
and going of ships OF all nations;
there are quite a formidable fleet, and
only two ships out of twelve carry
colors Of the same country
Just before entering the harbor one
notices detached rock high against
the side of the cliff. 1t bears a strik-
ing resemblance to Russian pries0
in full robes. Touched by the sunset
light, he seemed to stand blessing the
harbor.
Sailing north out into Behring sea,
one looks back at the desolate, silent,
treeless islands, which seem to wall
the edge of the world. Hundreds of
miles west they run toward Vladi-
vostok.
Two hundred and forty miles north
OF Unalaska are the Pribilof islands:
not large, but the greatest seal islands
In the world. There are many fur
seals around the shores of Bahring
sea and the Aleutian islands, but the
great mass of them are bred on the
Pribilof group. No white man is per
mitted to land on these breeding
grounds without a permit, signed by
the secretary of the treasury of the

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory if the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
