PATHOLOGICAL SOCIETY

The Society of Alaskan Natural History and Ethnology met at Pittsburg Cottage the second Thursday evening in January. After the usual order of busi- ness and the report of the treas urer, Mr. Beattie read the story of the Wolf Shirt which was recently presented to the museum. The narrative recites a bit of the history of a part of the kok- won-ton clan of Thlingets and tells how the wolf became their totem. Mir. Parks gave an expos ition of the carved symbols on the cane which was placed in the museum in company with the shirt, and told interestingly of the legends recorded by these figures. The remainder of the evening was spent in general discussion and social conversa- tion. A number of invited guests were present.

CHURCH NOTES

The Thlinget Church observed the week between Christmas and Vow Years as the annual week of prayer. We closed the season of prayer with a Watch Meeting on New Years Eve. During the week number promised to give up the things that were detri- mental to their Christian lives and many good resolutions were made.

RUSSIAN CHRISTMAS

The youth who observed;
 "Oh, what a blessin' 'twud abeen Et Santa had been born a twin! We'd hab two Chrismusses yeah Or p'r'aps one brudder d settle heahl" would surely have been happy could he have lived in Sitka. In addition to the above Christmas festivities, the Rus sian Christmas which occurred during the second week in the new year was copiously celebrat- ed by both Russian people and the natives who are members of the Russo-Graeco Church.
 Christmas trees and parties occu- pied the attention of the native people for several days.

The eighth of January was set aside as Communion season in the Thlinget Church. Two child ren and one adult were baptised, and two members were received into the church. In the afternoon Thomas Cook, elder, in company with the minister went to the native village and administered the Communion to eight who were not able to come to the church in the morning.

Douglas Craig MCTaviSh, A. B.

Douglas Craig MCTdviSh, A. B.
 Mr. Douglas Craig McTavish, who for more than three years past has had charge of the classes in carpentry and also has conducted the Bible Training Class composed of advanced pupils, severed his connection with our school and left on last boat for New York. While with us Mr.. McTavish performed his work with the greatest of faith fitness and assiduity and thereby achieved an enviable reputation for securing solidarity of results in all his efforts. He has always held that there should be the closest sympathy and harmony between the government teachers of native schools and mission workers and has been instrument tai in deepening these harmonious relations. Weregret that he has been allured to a field of useful ness outside of Alaska.
 As Mir. McT. is noted for tacl- turnity with reference to his per sonal affairs, it is difficult to say what roseate Inducements or con- catenation ofcauses has lead him to this reorganization. However, that he, the only man at a dining table surrounded by ten or more teachers, has presided there with unruffled dignity and salubrious geniality during three years is surely sufficient recom- mendation to secure for hlm any position underline sun to which he may aspire. .Mr.McTavish carries with him copious good wishes of the teachers and pupils who have known him here.

eIA, for Under Water Action.

When he is working in water infest-
ed by sharks and other sea monsters
likely to do him harm, the diver has
at present to rely for his safety on the
use OF a knife, or, failing that, on
quick return to the surface. Now
comes the invention OF Captain Grobl,
a German diving instructor. who has
constructed a rifle which can be hred
under water, and is designed for the
better arming of diver. The most
remarkable thing about this is that It
fires, not bullets. but water, which 10
propelled with such force that 1t has
an extraordinary power of penetration.
Indeed, the inventor himself has
pierced srmor nlate Of medium thick
ness with the water Jet from his
weapon. The rife has stout barrel
and is loaded with cartridge cased
In india rubber.

this is a great mistake. The only

let his calves lose what Is known as
calf fat" II is well known that young
animals gain more rapidly in proper
ton to their live weight and to 100
pounds OF food than do older animals.
That is, they not only made more
economical use Of their feed than ths
older animals, but they take shorter
time TO make a certain total gain. The
man who turns of steer that weighs
! 900 pounds, has, II that calf weighed
100 pounds at birth. been given 10 per
