MATHEMATICS AND HUmoR.
Lewis Carroll an Illustration of
 Their Affinity.

Proficiency in mathematics, polit- ical economy and "dry topics" like that is frequently found side by side with fine quality of humor in mems minds, says the New York Sun.
 Lewis Carroll, who wrote Alice in Wonderland" which is the top notch of the worlds humor up to date, was a professional mathematician - a mathematical lecturer at Oxford and author of "A Syllabus of Plane and Algebraical Geometry" of the "Ele- mentary Treatise on Determinants," and of a good many other mathemati- cal works. Our own great humor- ist, Oliver Wendell Holmes, was not exactly mathematician, but he was the next thing to it-a professor of anatomy. His anatomical works were terribly serious? Edgar A. Poe long ago established the intimate con. nection between mathematics and po- etry, or rather, between the mathe- nautical and the poetical mind. The same relation may exist between mathematics and humor. And yet there are some humorists who are not altogether great in mathematics.

When the dory crashed beneath the bows of the Sunde and as the vessel passed the water. Wedding was rescued in some manner which could not be learned.

Some Active
 Hotel RumOrS

There is a we'll defined rumor go- ing about that Juneau is to have a new hotel. According to report the property on which to erect the build ing is being negotiated for at the present moment, or has reached the point of agreement though the deal is not actually closed.
 This enterprise will be brought to fruition through local people, that is by Juneau men and men of sound financial rating over on Douglas isl and.
 A request has been made that DO names be mentioned until the plans are entirely completed and the To- cation decided upon. The men back of the proposition have had various plots of ground offered but are not prepared at this moment to announce the location that has been selected.
 This hotel is to have 52 rooms and be as modern in every way as money and skill can make it.
 There have been many rumers Of this sort and the public is getting anxious to have definite announce ment founded on facts.
 Mir. Ewing. of the Pacific Coast Company. when approached on the story that his company intended building hotel on their Juneau prop erty said that he knew nothing about it. He thought 1t likely that if a plan were contemplated that he would have received notice to that effect. Mir. Winter. of the firm of Winter & Pond. said to an Empire representa- tive that his firm held a flfteen-year lease on the property of the Pacific Coast Company and that they had not been asked to cancel their lease.

MISSING LAUNCH
 AND SIX NATIVES

A wire was received in Juneau two nights ago from Henry Phillips the we'll known native printer of Skag- way. asking for information about the launch Oakland The wire direct. ed that Edw. Case Armstrong, of Ju- neau, should be consulted. Arm strong was found in St. Ann's hospi- tai and from him 1t was learned that the Oakland was expected to bring six natives from Dry bay to Juneau where they would take passage by steamer to their homes at Haines.
 Armstrong left Dry bay on Oct. 21, and has seen nor heard nothing from the Oakland. A careful inquiry dis closes the Tact that the Oakland has not shown up at Juneau. It WAS the intention of Phillips brother.in.law, Frank James, to proceed with the Oakland to Seattle. The Oakland is a large gasoline launch possibly 75 feet long. It is feared that the boat is lost.

SANITARY CUPS FOR HORSES.

Five public watering fountains costing $85O each were recently of fered the Horse Aid Society of New York and refused. The fountains were of the familiar sort, an orna- mental granite drinking tank, such as most cities are glad to receive; but science has turned its face face against this sort of thing. sev- enty.fve per cent of the horses of New York are affected by glanders, it is estimated, and the public drink ing fountain is one of the means by which the disease spreads. The in- dividual drinking cup for horses is therefore to arrive in the rear of the individual drinking cup for human be- ings. Jersey City has officially ban ished the public drinking trough Nebraska Journal.
