NATURAL DETECTIVE FORCE.
Why Man Who Commits Crime In
Alaska Cannot Ecape,

I'VE have better detective force
In the cold country than there is In
tho States" says Gov. II. p. Hoggart
of Alaska, in the Washington Post.
THAT detective force Is nature.
When a man commits crime in the
States he has many places to hide,
and he often manages to evade the
authorities forever. II one of our
people who does something wrong
believes the climate of some other
country will better suit his health
and he makes for that country he
undertakes the impossible All we
have to do Is to sit and wait There
Is only one way out Of Alaska, and
that Is by coming to the coast, and
when the criminal comes to the coast
he is sure to be caught
$50 well has the United States
Signal Corps done It's work In Alaska
that we have a telegraph line to
every mining camp of Importance,
and when u man takes leg bail all
there is to do Is to telegraph to the
coast towns, and the authorities wait
for the man. 1t would be impossible
for the poor fellow to try to get away
by any other route than the coast,
because he would never live to re-
late his experience.
"On the other side Of the coast
range of mountains are vast plains,
stretching for many hundreds Of
miles, wholly uninhablted. On nc
count of the haste with which criml-
nails generally leave there is no time
In which to provide an adequate out
fit, If such thing were possible.
But It is seldom that It is neces-
sary to make use OF this natural de-
tective force to track wrongdoers.
VIII venture to say that there is no
country in the world where the peo-
pie are as orderly as they are in
Alaska. All the tales of lawlessness
of the mining camps Of the forty
miners are not repeated in Alaska.
From the very first the people have
been orderly, and they make It so
uncomfortable for the criminal who
comes among them that he is glad to
leave.

FREAK FOREIGN NEWSPAPERS,
Plans to Win Readers That Failed
to Prolong the Enterprises.

A French magazine writer. who
looking into the subject OF
freak newspapers. thinks that one Of
the most remarkable of these was
the Luminaria, published In Madrid.
Tho ink with which 1t was printed
contained a small percentage of phos-
prorus. SO that the letters were visi-
Bile and the paper could be read In
the dark. Next after this he finds
remarkable the case Of the Regal.
printed with an ink guaranteed non
poisonous on thinsheets of dough.
After absorbing all the information
the sheet contained, one could eat
It, thus deriving from 1t nourish-
ment for mind and body.
The publisher of a new Partisan
journal, lie Bien Etre, promised to
all subscribers for forty consecutive
years a pension and free burial. In
spite of the inducement, subscribers
were so few that the paper died in a
month, 1t was followed shortly
after by paper called La Monchoir,
tho handkerchief. 1t was printed
on paper such as the so-called Jap
anese napkins are made Of, and
might be used in case the reader for
got or lost his handkerchief. 1t did
not last long.
At two different French seaside
resorts newspapers called the CoIr-
riar des Baigneurs t"Bather'a
Courier") and La Naivade, which
doesn't need translation. were
printed on waterproof paper. Tho
inducement was that the bather
could take his paper into the ses
with him and read it while he en-
joyed his bath.
The climax of utility seems to he
reached in Norway, where some of
tho newspapers use so tough a
quality of paper that 1t can be cut
into strips and twisted into service

To Avoid NearsiChtedness.

Theoretically, the guard for the
eyes shown in the illustration pre-
sents a very good idea. Whether its
use is practical is an open question.
1t is well known that children as a
rule are inclined, while reading, to
hold the book too close to the eyes.
This habit Is still more marked in
writing than reading, and, in time,
undoubtedly is responsible for near
sightedness. Statisticians claim that

In the second illustration carried out

Of the princess skirt q simUle pat

being done with heavy brown silk
floss with dGshes Of pale green here

a fold trimming Of brown panne vel

Pale green asserts itself more bold
ly in the decorative scheme Of tho
bodice, however, being combined
with brown embroidery to form the
vest above which appears a yoke of
handsome NalCnciennes lace. The
vest is a semi-independent Empire
affair, hanging over the top of the
skirt with a binding of brown panne.
The sleeves match the yoke and
straps of brown voile embroidered
in brown pale green and silver are
draped over the shoulder and ar
ranged in border effect beyond the
vest and yoke.
The little miss wear a charming
tailored coat of heavy white taffeta
