GOLD SEEKERS RUSH To
NEW CAMP IN ALASKA
Thousand Claims Are Staked by
SquatterS at Mouth of
Salmon River

STEWART. B. c., April 20.-A gold
camp has sprung up at the mouth of
Salmon river, about two miles from
Stewart, on the Alaska side of the
boundary line. About 1000 lots have
been staked by squatters, and there
promises to be a merry war over
claim jumping.
There is no official government sur
vey, but in order to prevent confusion
the squatters have organized a sort
of vigilance committee to band together
and stand off squatters who try to
Jump the claims of original settlers.
The settlement has been named Port
land City, and the squatters broke
champagne on their stakes at the
christening.
A report has come from Ketchikan
that people from all over Alaska are
trekking to the new camp. Reports
of the rich surface showings up the
Salmon river valley have spread very
quickly.

The Era of Reptiles.

At different epochs during the time known as the secondary period the sur
 face of the earth seems to have been so predominantly. peopled with reptile life that it has been called "the age of reptiles.' The huge iguanodons stalked or leaped about in the weaIds of Sussex and Hampshire. Of these iguanodons marvelously complete skel- etons are to be seen (mounted in atti- tudes of hfe) h the Royal museum of Brussels-a sight in itself sufficient to induce a visit to that capital. Other smaller reptiles browsed on the foliage of the then existing plains and were pursued and preyed upon by fell rep tilian monsters of various kinds. The sea also swarmed with reptiles Qch- thyosauriD as aquatic as the whales and dolphins of our own day. And not only were the earth and seas thus peo- pied, but there were flying reptiles of different kinds and sizes, known as pterodactyls. tr-

Savino the Oil,


 "1n Cairo" said journalist ~T heard queer yarn about the fella- hin. The fellahin are the native ru- ralists. They are very poor. We'll. when the British built the Egyptian state railway the officials were as- founded at the enormous quantities of train oil that disappeared. They knew that all this oil couldn't be used for Intoxicating purposes. so they made an investigation and found that it had become the staple food of the poor fellahin. The railroad detectives re- ported that the fellahin all over Egypt were using the Egyptian state railways traiE oil as their chief sup port. They buttered their bread with train oil. They fried their fish in train oil. They made Kind of suet pudding with train oil as a base. They drank train oil heated as a flesh producer or builder up. So the railway officials mixed castor oil with the stuff, and the fellahin after years torturtng and vain effort to acclimate their sys- tems to the mixture decided to give train oil up.'

Only on Approval.

At the Wednesday evening service in the church parlors the minister chose honesty for the subject of his brief discourse. In less than a quar- ter of an hour he found time to lam baste nearly everybody who had ever deviated from the narrow path. but he was particularly hard on those per sons who buy things on approval After the sermon everybody enjoyed himself socially. There were some big guns there from other parishes. and the parlors had been done up es- pecially for the evening. There were two lovely new red velvet chairs that the minister found particularly com fortable. He complimented the head of the furnishing committee on her thrift and taste.
 On Friday evening there was an- other meeting in the parlors. The min ister looked around first thing for those velvet chairs.
 What have you done with them, Mrs. Blank?" he said to the head of the committee.

a EiotIre Trick.

Get some one to put down a row of figures, to add them up and subtract the total, thus:
 63.214
 These figures added together make 16. Subtract this 16 from the original number and you get 63,19S. Now ask them to cross out any one figure, total them up again and tell you the total. Thus. say, they cross out the 6, the total becomes 21. They tell you this, and without looking at the sum you can say the value of the figure which has been crossed out
 You do this trick by subtracting the total from the next multiple of g. ''The total" says your friend, lis 21." The nearest multiple of above q is 27. You subtract 21 from 2T, and that leaves 6. To your friend you say in a dignitied tone. "The figure you crossed out was G." And your wondering friend believes you to be possessed of occult powers. It doesn't matter what figures are originally put down. the answer al- ways comes correct

The oldest mathematic book in the world Is believed to be the 'Papyrus Rhind" tn the British museum, pro- fessed to have been written by Ahmes. a scribe of King Ra-a-us. about the period between 2OO0 and 1700 B. c. This ''Papyrus Rhind" was translated by Eisenlohr of Leipzig, and it was found to contain a rule for making a square equal in area to a given circle. II was not put forth as an original dis covery. but as the transcript ot a treatise 900 years older still, which sends us back to approximately 2500 B.

camels In South Australia.

Camels are used by pastoralists and others in central Australia for carting wool and stores. These are worked by English as we'll as Afghan drivers. They are used for saddle at eighteen months of age; at two years, says the British Australasian, they can carry from one hundredweight to two hun dredweight; at three years, four hun- dredweight. Bulls at four years can take six hundredweight of loading. The camels are bred in South Australia. Those locally reared are better weight carriers than those imported. They are lower set, better boned and well footed. They thrive on the grasses and bushes of the country, on which they can be worked for many years.
