EIGHT MONUMENTS
 TO AGNOSTICISM

Kenosha, Wis, Oct. 2.-Lewis Knapp, who erected eight in scribed monuments in the Keno sha city cemetery to hand down his derision of the Christian church, will fail of his purpose, as the monuments, which have stood for more than 30 years, will be destroyed ia such man. ner that not one of the 10000 words of inscription will remain.
 For years Knapp worked on the composition of the agnostic inscriptions, which made one of the most remarkable arraign- ments of the Christian religion known to history. Men have come for thousands of miles to read and copy them, and it is de- clared that when they were sent to foundry to be cast in metal, which would withstand fire as we'll as the weather, the work men struck, fearing the wrath of God. Surviving relatives of Knapp signed an agreement that the monuments be taken out, broken into small pieces and the debris either buried or thrown into the lake.

Valdez Prospector, Oct. :: Cook inlet territory round about Kenai is the happy hunting ground these days, made so by Baron von Guttman, who recently char tered the steamer Transit of 5000 tons, at Victoria, and came north with a shipload of retainers to thin out the wild beast population on Kenai peninsula. On his ar rival he enlisted the services of the males of military age around the town of Kenai to aid the slaughter. He pays white men s10 a day to act as guides, and Siwashes s per day as packers. Everybody can get a job, and proceedings on the upper side of Kenai peninsula resemble a mili- tary campaign.
 This is no guerrilla warfare. The baron has organized the campaign like one of Teddy Roosevelt's descents upon hap

Seattle, Oct. 1l.-A letter received here today from Captain Brown de- clares that the sealing industry on the Pribilof islands in Boring sea is doom ed. and that nothing but immediate and absolute prohibition of killing will likely to fail, says the captain, for the seals. harried by incessant hunting in the North, are betaking themselves to the similar climes Of the Falkland islands, off the southeast tip of South America. The younger generations are focking to these islands, and when the older animals of the Pri ribilofs die out or are killed, they will arrive no more.

less primeval live stock. He is the real Bwana Tumbo of Alaska. That name von Guttman wasn't given him for nothing. and when he gets through shooting entrails out of big game he is liable to carry away a record that will make Teddy's trip to Africa look like a rabbit chase, even if Kermit is along to trim the bunch.
 Baron von Guttman is said to be an Austrian, but as he has mazuma to burn he is understood to have cleared up all the statu- tory and diplomatic pitfalls that threatened to stay his hand, and he is going through the Kenai peninsula like bass notes through d tin horn. He has started a reign of terror in the jungle.

 "She evidently wanted to talk, and strove to be interested" says Miss Hale.
 "Dut see how tired I am," said to 2er. T have to work very hard as 1t s. and I had to work much harder O gain what little recognition I have Aad."

High above the timber line on the great round top of Mount Rainer. and not 100 feet from the line of perpetual snow, a colony of wild honey bees has chosen an exposed diminutive cavern In pile of granite rocks for hive. The bees were discoveyhd by Christian Hansen and Osmond Daily, two Seat. tie young men. who were climbing to the summit of the mountain. Hansen observed a honey bee crawling over an icy rock and called the attention of Daily to it.. They pried open the rock pile and dislodged an enromous colony of bees. The busy workers. attracted likely by the masses of mounain flowers of the mountain. had made several hundred pounds of white honey.

eparrows XIII Turkeys.

English sparrows kill turkeys In Rhode Island, according to Dr. Philip B. Hadley. They convey the black. head" disease. whose fatal prevalence among turkeys is threatening the ruin of turkey farming in the state. Dr. Hadley says that poultry. generally game birds, and some wild song birds, have the amoeba or coccidium, which causes the disease. and so why he lays all the blame to the English sparrow does not quite appear, unless because the little pest has earned so bad name on other accounts. The British grouse are troubled in way similar to the turkey. And the seri- ousness of the case Is illustrated by Dr. Hadley in the statement that whereas 30 years ago Block island alone used to send out more than 4O,- 900 pounds a year. the turkeys now raised there can only be counted by dozens
