 Size of the Army.
 This ought to be an interesting paragraph for the jingoes. II ap- pears that our general staff of the army in 1891 consisted of one brig adler general who received the fancy salary of sl,200 year, his aide-de-camp, one major, two cap tains, one paymaster general, one in spector of artillery, one inspector of Notifications and one judge advO- cate. And we had two troops of cavalry. two regiments of infantry and two regiments Cf engineers. The entire estimates for Notifications was $120000.

WELlMAN'S ENGINEER SAYS THE OlRIGlBlE BALLOON WILL
 CROSS OCEAN,

BOSTON. - That a dirigible bal loon will he constructed and cross he Atlantic ocean is the belief of Melvin Eaniman, chief engineer on Walter Wellman's Inflated America
 Mr Vaniman is the guest Cf Charles ] Glidden. president of the New England Aero club at the Hote' Somerset. Naniman, a determine8 looking young man. said that he believed the day wa not far dis 'ant when dirigible would float out over the 5000 miles of heaying water between this country and Flu rope A yet he sees no indication that any aerCplane of present con. -truCtiOn will ever be able to dc anything like that trip.
 - still believe that it is possible 70 cross the Atlantic in a dirigible" :" said Melvin Naniman. People talk so much about the eluilibrator of the America that it seems to be i'm possible to make them understand he important part an equilibratcr ulavs in modern ballooning and air -ailing Every elevator in Boston is provided with an equilibrator of a sort
 If you would go out at night and spend all your money and then pull it back in the morning with string hat string would, ln a way play he n4rt If an eQuilibrator.
 After We were out 50 hours cn tha America our equilibrator was resting on the water. Four hours Il, he America had expanded to such an extent that the balloon rose to the height Cf more than 5000 feet. The cquilibratcr, weighing two tons, was caught mp with the balloon.
 Upon such a flight as we attempt cd il would be quite impossible to think of attempting to make it with out being equipped with an equili- orator.
 T am not discouraged at our re cent trial. for l am an engineer a mechanic and ali inventor.
 Asked if he thought it would be noesible for an aeroplane of any kind at present existing to cross the Atlantic. MT. Naniman said:
 No. do not believe an aero plane can be invented which could successfully make such a long trip. give my reasons for that opinion. All of the aeroplanes are hard 10 lift from the ground in starting and they are so constructed that they generally need their full power to be of much use as they are so light that they are subject to dan ger from winds unless they are go- ing under full power"
 Speaking of the commercial pos abilities of dirigible. MT. Naniman eX- pressed the opinion that they will never be able to excel the present transportation facilities.
 q am not an optimist," he said, when it comes to the balloon ques- ton, nor a pessimist either. l steer the middle course and try to base my opinions on fact and personal knowledge of these subjects.

Tells the Story of the
 North Country


 Professor Arnold G. George is preaching the gospel of the Yukon He is telling the story before some of the richest and most influential as well as before many of the most learned people of America. In a let. ter from New York city he tells of talking before various bodies.
 One place. the Plaza, termed by the professor the sWellest house in America, was the scene of one of the lectures. The talk was before the Presbyterian union, one of he rich and exclusive organizations of knick- CrbCckor bluebloods. Rev s. F. Dun ham, D. D.. writing in the New York Observer on the lecture. gave an in- teresting review. saving. in part
 The members and friends of the PreSbyt yterian union had a rich ex- perience at the Plaza, when Pro lessor Arnold F. George gave an illustrated lecture entitled Tn the Shadow of the Pole" The graphic description of Alaska. where the speaker ha9 lived for years. was greatly enjoyed The views were fine. and the story full of interest. Fleming H. Reyell is the new pres idcnt cG unIt".
 Professor George. fresh from 1 long and intimate acquaintance with his theme could not but feel how tightly he held his audience in the grip of his spell, as he told in word and picture of the wonders of Alas ka. The extent and resources of that land were revelation to many who listened to him. With almost light ming rapidity views were thrown on the screen showing the topographi- cal, mineral, floral and other fea- lures of that marvel of lands. anu with matching speed the speaker aIGcd notes and comments that were as tCmrEcus as lightning-!l with d play of humor that flashed and forked, keeping the countt nances of all wreathed in audible smiles. Some of his statements follow:
 More hard coal. and better than in Pennsylvania and West Virginia already discovered and it's boundaries marked; more copper than in th5 famous l.. k Superior region; ten millions a year in salmon; thirty five thousand miles Cf untoIcheu t,,. bauks, eeoud bigco., qua '. mne, on The American corJinept. and a paltry two hundred million. of gold dust-suCh has been Alas ka's contribution 10 Uncle Sam in F years, with a scanty population oI less than forty thousand souls.

perionCed it's charm. This is an official statement l am about to make - I shivered more in twenty. four hours on my ranch in Southern California than in twelve years in Alaska. The fact is that accident. ally you may freeze to death up there, just as you may get run over in these canyons called the streets of New York. But you will never shiver while you are doing it.

 We are comfortable. happy and hearty, and are there living in a land of greater opportunity than al most anywhere else on earth. So far from Alaska being exhausted. there are important new discoveries of gold being made every week or '"p' hiS iiit iiiilIii dIiStu dl tti Ci- ready discovered is larger than the entire state of California. Travellers stories of extreme hardship in the North are just that and nothing more - travellers yarns. Eighty per cent of the people in Alaska never even saw a glacier, for glaciers are products of warmer lands. and have 10 be hunted in the mountains bOrd- ering the Pacific ocean, where the warm Japan current affords the right conditions.
 Game is as plentiful there to- day as on the plains during the era of the buffalo. Three travelling herds of caribou roam the interior with million or more in each herd - and the herds are growing greater all the time. Each wolf we slay for it's hide saves alive for the herds at least 90 breeding caribou All the ducks in the world north of the equator fly up there in the sum mertime. They even cross the north pole from Siberia to do their nesting and breeding on the flats of the Yukon river One island in the Yukon river, known as Egg Island is eighteen or twenty feet deep in eggs and guano. Wild berries are three times more plentiful than even in the tropics of America and Africa. To walk over the flats about Circle City in the berry season is to soak ones clothing through and through to the skin with berry juice. Rad ishes in nine days from the seeds are too common to mention.
 Why, the people cf America dc not even know their geography and suppose to this day - so per cent of them - that when we went up
 here to the Klondike, that we went 10 Alaska. The truth is the Klondike is in Canadian territory. The Am, r. jeans were welcomed. however. and took cut the gold, bringing every grain of it to the states Then hay

FIND LONG LOST PACK-TRAIN
Musher Discovers Bodies of Six Bur-
 ros Lost 13 Years Ago.

FOS lOSt 10 ears HSO.
 VALDEZ Five hundred feet down a crevasse in the great Valdez glacier have been discovered the bodies of six burros making up the pack train of a party of Eastern prospectors who started for the Cop per river country from this port 13 years ago and were lost in what was then an utterly unknown wilderness. w. H. Crary, a musher, who was travelling over the glacier, made the discovery. The depths of the ere vase were momentarily Illuminated by the sun as Crary crossed it and he caught sight of the burrOs. With the aid of his binoculars he ascer- tained that the bodies were in a per feet state of preservation and equipped with pack saddles and packs He could not discover any human bodies, but it is believed that the owners of the pack train por'shed in the cravesse and an at tempt will be made as soon as the weather moderates to descend into the Assure and learn whether such was the case The creyasse is far from the old Copper river trail. and this leads to the conjecture that the doomed prospectors lost their way and perished on the treacherouS ice field Old-timers here recOllect that one of several parties was equipped with a burro pack train, but nobody remembers the names of the mem bers of the expedition.

"BAIT" POLICEMAN HELD UP
Highwaymen Take His Gun, Star
 and Overcoat.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 29. - Pa trOlman Michael BartOsh of the Fifth precinct. Minneapolis, one of the baits used by Chief of Police Michael Medley to attract highwaymen in an effort to capture them. was held up Friday night and robbed by three highwaymen at the foot of Lowry Hill. one block from the Plaza hotel on Hennepin avenue. at the points of reyolvers. Brought face to face with his critical position Bartosh decided f was better to be humilitated than killed.
 The robbers paid little respect to the police badge, taking it with the officers fur overcoat, his gun, his watch. 70 cents and whatever was in the pockets of the oyercoat. the brass buttons of which were covered with black cloth.
 Bartesh has a good description of the robbers. The police believe they constitute the trio which has been causing headquarters so much trou- ble.
 After completing the task of talk ing the officers coat, valued at $100, and other valuables, they turned the policeman's own gun on him and pleasantly told him to beat it." Bar tosh borrowed a coat at a livery stable near by and reported his ad- ventures to his station. He says he would have captured the men but for the fact that he carried his gun in his hip pocket and could not reach it before he was looking into revolvers equally as good as his own.

 Salt as a Cleaner.
 Every housewife should realize the possibilities of salt as a cleans CT. Indeed salt and kerosene should be in the cleansing outfit of every household, for together they form combination which eradicates almost any dirt.
 For polishing mirrors nothing can exceed the merit of salt. When ap- plying it the glass must be wet with clear water, then the salt rubbed on with a damp newspaper. The final rubbing may be done with dry news papers or with channois skin.
 A tablespoonful of common salt, teaspoonful of ammonia and a pint of hot water; mixed, and kept for rinsing decanters and carafes will make them as bright as new.
 Silver discolored either by egg or other use will respond at once to a vigorous rubbing of damp salt
 Salt and vinegar combined will usually restore polish to brass and copper, and salt is a wonderful ren, ovator of polished wood surfaces that

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. - If Rep Minnesota. chairman of the house appropriations committee, had not had a fierce if of sneezing in the lobby of a hotel here this afternoon it probably neye would have been discovered how the honest black smith" spends his spare time.
 Mir. Tawney was sitting in the lob by reading from thin, oblong vol ume, bound in tattered sheepskin, and occasionally turning over with great care the thin, yellow pages. Suddenly the sneezes seized him.
 q know" the appropriations chair man remarked after he had recov- cred bit, that they used to put red pepper between the pages of government documents to keep out the bugs, but as the hand that dusted his pepper is also dust l thought the spice would be harmless"
 What in the world is that?" ask cd a newspaper man who happened to be around.
 Government Estimates for 1902.

 Expenses of Concress.
 "This old book" said MT. Tawney. turning over the pages, shows that back in 1892 the estimates provide for 32 United States senators and 105 members of the house at s6 a day each. The speaker of the house get SIP a day, the sergeant-at-arms of the house $500 year Che now gets more than ten times that sum) and the secretary of the senate s1,5OO, and there were very few senate and house employees. The contingent expenses of the house were $10.000 and of the senate $25,- 900.
 "Tho cocretary of war and the secretary of the navy each received s3.OOO, and the former asked s27,- 25O and the latter s19,910 for the conduct of their respective depart ments. The postmaster general got a still lower salary, only s2,400."
