The Worlds Biggest Bear

The Technical World Magazine pur- ports to offer the public sight of 'The record-breaking bear of the world from the wilds of the Alaska penin- sula." Then it proceeds to say that the animal treasured nearly nine feet from tip to tip. If the Technical World Magazine had been in Seward in the spring of 1906 it could have seen the tape stretched ten feet from tip to tip of the skin of a brown bear killed on the peninsula by L. L. Bales. Probably Mir. Bales can tell where that skin may be seen yet. And he has averred that it was not the biggest bearskin that ever grew on the benin Sula.

THE SEATTLE SPIRIT

The Post-Intelligencer has offered a brass medal-no, silver cup to the person who will give the best analysis of the Seattle Spirit, The Gateway offers the following bid. Send cup, freight charges prepaid, by next steamer.
 The Seattle Spirit is not psychologist cal but chemical; it is distilled from neurine, vaHurzed, and disseminated as hot air. It's efficient properties are incessant dilatation of the abSorptive and prehensile organs and crasS gasco- made. It's functional activity is abnor- maj, it's aflatus a crude alchemy which seeks to transmute brass into gold, and it's paramount instinct causes it to cling to every tangible chattel like a viscouS radiarn l0 q submarine rock.
 By the law of natural selection this curious anal gam of commercial craft, efFrontery and rodomontade prefers gall to gray matlnrand eXalrs aosertive mediocrity above mere ability. From which it results that brazen impudence can climb higher and stick longer in Seattle than in any other spot in the half-civilized world.

Prof Starr of the university of Chi cago says dog meat is as good as nut ton. This can be corrObOrated by several Seattle newspaper reporters who went picnjcking with visiting Ig- orrotes and after becoming saturated with beer dined with the heather on roast dog. They said the meat tasted like mutton. Maybe it was the dog and beer amalgam that tasted like mutton and perhaps Prof. Starr got his notion the sa me way.

RENAL PENINSULA MINING

Experienced mining men say that hardly anywhere in the states do indi- cations of mineral deposits show on the surface as extensivele as on Kenai pen insula and the islands of Prince Will liam sound. Men from the bonanza cold district of Nevada say that region is not in the same class with Southern Alaska, 50 ur as surface prospecting indicates, and men from the copper fields of Montana and Arizona draw similar comparisons.
 During the past year many remark able discoveries have been made m tht, region, and while in any country only one prospect out of many proves to be a great mine the extensive area of mfnevaljzation and the numerous high grade assays abtajned from sur face ore demonstrate concluSjvely that mines will be made.
 Last week the Gateway published eN- tract, from the latest report of the geological survey, showing that by careful field work experts have settled that a remarkable zone of mineraIiza- ton extends nOrthward from ReSur- rectlon bay, beginning at tide water. Actual discoveries by proSpectors added to Uni, testimony make itopparent that Seward is to be headquarters for a mineral district as great as Colorado or Montana.
 All that has been lacking was capital for development and capital is begin ming Go come.

Possible Population of the Earth.

b. the best reckoning the earth's
population for some two centuries or
so has been increased at the rate of
about million year. From now on
on account Of improved material condi-
tons and the diminution Of the slaugh-
ter consequent to war, the increase
bids fair to be much greater. 1t has
recently been estimated that the earth
under present conditions might be able
to support number treble that of it's
present population that is, about
100000, 0O0-four thousand five hun
dred millions. By means of scientific
appliances and the reclamation of arid
and swamp lands it has been calculat-
ed that the figure given might be dou-
bled or ever trebled, giving ten or pos
sibly fifteen thousand millions as the
ultimate limit of the earth's popula-
tion.-New York American.

How Sleep Is Caused.

Just how sleep is brought about is
one of the unsolved problems that have
been before science since the earliest
times. There are three general ex-
plantations of sleep. They are called
the circulatory, the chemical and the
astrological theories The first two
have subdivisions. The astrological
theory is now pretty well accepted.
The nervous system is made up Of
thousands of nerve cells. These are
connected like huge net by nerve ele-
ments, little branching fbers. Each
nerve element is structurally interde-
pendent, but functionally dependent.
Neurologists tell US that the fbers be-
come disconnected in sleep-that is,
each nerve cell is separated from it's
neighbors by the elements, or connect
ing fibers, becoming disconnected. The
nerve cells build up themselves while
separated, as they have no messag es
from the body to bear to the brain.
AS the sleeper regains consciousness
the nerve fibers unite and once more
begin their duties. - st. Louis Post

She was acquitted Of the charge of as

emotional insanity set up by the woman
was successful. 1t was regarded as an
other approval of the unwritten law.

company of another woman. Miss Du-
