ISLANDS FAR TO NORTH TEMPT
VISIT OF SCIENTIST.
Prof. Thomas A. Jaggar, Eastern Sci
enlist, Proposes to Study Section
Of World About Which Little
ls Known.

Not the north pole, but islands lying
on the borderland of the arctic circle, is
the lure which is going to tempt an
eastern scientist In his effort to learn
more about practically unknown
land. The Aleutian islands off the
coast of Alaska have never been eX.
plored In the true sense OF tho
term, and Prof. Thomas A. Jaggar of
the Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology, is about to undertake the task
of studying the geological formation
of this group of islands. His party
will include some of the most noted
biologists of the day, and il is ex.
pected that there will be plenty of
work for all, as the Aleutian Islands,
from geological standpoint, are mar
wells of possibility. Little or nothing
is known of them, and it may be that
from end to end they are composed
of auriferous rock of the richest de-
scription.
This condition, though, has abso-
lutely nothing to do with the expedi-
ton, which is financed by Boston
1hCh, anu dS SiNtu Oul, a
private enterprise in the interest of
adding to the worlds store of geo.
logical knowledge.
Stretched along the shores of Alaska
are the islands of the Aleutan group,
embracing hundreds of miles of terri.
tory. The islands extend from the
mainland of Alaska westward, and
countless herds of wild cat,iv and
sheep roam unmolested across the vast
tracts. Many of them are devoid of
even stick Of timber, but are rich

turage on the western portion of

INDIAN TRIBE OF OKLAHOMA
SAYING FAREWELL TO STATES.
Dissatisfied With Treatment at Hands
of Whites, They Are Anxious
to Sell Lands and Go Into
Mexico.

The Kickapoos are looking toward
the land of Mexico as their Eldorado
They are dissatisfied with the inter-
ference and annoyance suffered at the
hands of the white residents OF Okla
homa and are anxious to dispose OF
their lands and move bag and baggage
into the land which promises to give
them larger liberties and opportuni-
ties. And the Kickapoos are not alone
in this desire to emigrate. The Chero.

Caddos and Pottawattomies share
them in the feeling and are eager to
follow in their footsteps. They are
convinced that they would be much
happier in the land of 'manana,"
where they would be free from modest
alton, and would find satisfactory
hunting grounds.
The fact is undeniable that our gov

States have dwindled in numbers.
Meanwhile number of white men
with plenty Of money to spend have
been urging the Kickapoos to leave
Oklahoma. in order that the lands
they now hold there may be gobbled.
With view to this end, they are try

to the REIMBURSEMENT of the lands in

Saved by an Earthquake.

The earthquake in Jamaica reminds
a correspondent of curious epitaph
which he read on tombstone there
some years ago. 1t runs thus: Here
lieth the body of Lewis Gladly, Esq,
who died on the 22d of September,
1897, aged 80. He was born at Mont.
pellier in France, which place he left
for his religion, and settled on this
island, where, in the great earthquake,

the wonderful providence of God, by
a second shock, was thrown out into

STRANGE FREAK OF CAT.
Adopted Small Rat to Take Place OF
Dead Kitten.

Six kittens were recently added to
the feline population by Phoebe
Snow" the pet cat OF the ferryman
who tends the little rowboat ferry
across the gap in the Lackawanna
yards in Hoboken, n. J. Some days
later one of the little ones died.
All day long Phoebe appeared
downcast, and in the afternoon start

record as rat catcher, SO the ferry
man was not surprised when few
minutes later. she deposited big
wharf rat at his feet.
Phoebe again disappeared, and re.
turned moment later with baby
rat tenderly carried in her teeth.
Straight by the ferryman she marched
and over to the basket where her FIVE
kittens lay, and beside them she
placed the young rat.
AS an experiment, the rat was taken
from Phoebe several times, but on
each occasion she deserted her kit.

PETRlFlED HEAD IN LOG.
Remarkable Find Reported In Penn

While George Woodward was rum

Adams county, Pennsylvania, he dis
covered the petrifled head and neck
of human being imbedded in a large
oak log Woodward removed the
head and has shipped it to DIR. G. W..

head was of perfect proportions, the
features being preserved to the
minutest detail in the body of the
wood.
Ears. nose, mouth, eyes, eyebrows
and even the lines of the face were
plainly visible. The unusual color OF
the face was the only thing which de-
tracted from its lifelike appearance.
The tree was cut near Lewis. the

the head belonged to one of the VIC
Tins of this noted outlaw, who in
early times was the terror of sthe
mountain-side.
Lewis. the robber, committed many
murders along the old Shippensburg
road. Numerous expeditions were
sent against him, but, retreating to
his impregnable stronghold in the
wids of the South mountain, he al
ways successfully resisted attack.

Met Death in Oven.

An old woman who lived alone in
a cottage near Zurich, Switzerland
was in the habit when feeling I'M
well, of getting into a hot oven for
a sort Of Turkish bath. When inside
she used to close and reopen the oven
door by means of small cord. The
other day she was taking one of
these baths, and in attempting to
open the door she broke the string.
Some days later she was found dead
in the oven-suffocated or starved.

Charles w. Loomise's Faith in Hyomei
IS so strong he sells it under Guaran zee.
1t is n thing to claim, another
thing to Lack up the claim by a stat e-
mcnt that if it is not true, there will
be no charge for the service or the

1t is in this way Charles W. Loomis
sells Hyomei, for he has so wuch faith
in its power to cur all forms of catarrb
and bronchial troubles. ,hab he gives
an absolute. unqualified guarantee
with every o tft that If the remedy
does not cure, the money will be re-
funded.
Hyomei is based on natures way of
curing catarrh. 1t contains the con
centrated healing oils and gums Of the
pine woods, prepared in such form
that they can be brought into your
own home. 1t gives the health adyan-
tages of the Adirondacks in such form
that you can be cured of catarrh and
affections of the nose, throat and
at home or IT work.
A complete Hyomei outfit costs but

obtained for SOC.
With Hyomei you can cure catarrh
pleasantly and easily at small expense,
with no risk of the treatment costing a
penny unless cured.
