Skagway, Alaska.-To have travelled
into the northern regions above the
fifty-eighth parallel sometime during
ones career is the initial requirement
for membership In the Arctic Brother
hood. unique among fraternal organ
izations.
The Arctic Brotherhood was formed
shortly after the geld rush to the
klondike In 1898, and now includes In
the northern regions several hundred
active members. The first requirement
since its organization has been an ex-
tended residence above the fifty-eighth
parallel. with the exception of few
distinguished citizens from the United
States and other countries who upon
their arrival in Alaska have been made
honorary members.
Among its members above the nifty
eighth parallel" the Arctic Brother
hood takes precedent over every civil
court. II matter of dispute Of any
nature arises between Arctic brothers.
the question Is carried before the
membership Of the local lodge at one
of its weekly meetings.
All parties to the dispute present
their arguments and then all the
brothers not involved in the question
cast a vote which determines the set
Element of the issue.
Various plans are conceived and ex-
ecuted by the brotherhood from time
to time for the furtherance of the in
terests of the northwest. Strangers
to the country are entertained at the
lodges Of the organization, and If they
are prospectors they are supplied with
the most reliable information at hand.
The main body of the organization
Is located at Skagway. Alaska. There
are others at Dawson. Nome, Fair
banks. Cordoba and Seward. The
lodgehouse at Skagway is declared to

DANGER IN POOLS

ton is preliminary step to the inter
national conference.
Swimming pools" says H. f. J. -Por-
ter. discussing the matter in q recent
issue of the Survey, ARE little more
than cesspools." The public generally
regards them as refreshing. invigorat-
ing and beneficial. and few have ever
dreamed that they may be breeders Of
disease. There are hundreds of such
pools all over the city. Recently In
the interest Of the department of BAG
teriology Of the University Of Chicago.
X. N. Atkins made a careful study Of
five pools whose water supply was
supposed to be clean. Investigation
proved that they. caused ailments Of
eye. ear and throat and intestinal dis
ease.
Investigations in Hamburg and In
Purdue. Brown, Chicago and Yale uni
versities showed that the impurities
are bacterial and chemical foreign
matter. and oil detected the presence
of dangerous disease microbes. This
condition existed in places where the
details of hygiene and sanitation are
otherwise scrupulously looked after.
Examination of the Hamburg pools
showed that water fresh from the tap
contained 81 microbes cubic cent?
meter After "A persons had bathed In
the water there were 1900 microbes
in the same quantity Of water. When
494 persons had entered the pool the
number had increased to 4,400. and
after S29 bathers had been In contact
with the water there were 154 900 MI
crobes present to the cubic cent?
meter.
The last figures are interesting In
that they show no proportionate In
crease in the number Of microbes, and
In that way illustrate the septic tank
theory: that IL, after . certain point
of development the septic condition Of
water either kills the microbes or
they devour each other when they
have become too numerous. thus main-
tanning q maximum Of impurity.

There are seventeen species Of these
