RIVERS OF ALASKA.
The Waterway Wonders Of This I'm.
mense Territory.

mense Territory.
Were the rivers not nayigable there
would be little done in the interior Of
Alaska today. First used by the pro-
pectOr in his polling boat and the traG-
er with his little steamer, they have
become the means of opening up every
camp that has been struck in the i'll
terror of Alaska.
The Yukon is very shallow at its
mouth. which is about seventy miles
in width across it's delta. There are
places 400 miles from the mouth of
the river where the biggest Atlantic
liners could navigate with ease, fer
there are soundings which show nine
ty foot channel in mile wide river.
The Yukon is navigable for ., 100 miles.
The Kuskoquim, sister stream, has
been navigated only on the lower
reaches, but with it's navigable branch
es is believed to have 1,OOO miles of
navigabIe water. The Tanana has
been ascended for 800 miles and the
Koyukuk in excess of that figure.
Scores of other streams can be used
by small steamers for from twenty-five
to 200 miles. Altogether it is safe to
say there are 5000 miles of navigable
streams in Alaska. The Yukon opens
for navigation the latter part of May
and closes the latter part of October.
But with all it's wealth of gold, its
unheard call to toilers Of the soil, its
mountains studded with gems Of rich

TULIP MADNESS.
The Craze Ragged In Holland In the
Last Century, and Some of the Flow
ers Brought Incredible Prices.

During the tulip craze in Holland in
the last century in one year the sales
aggregated 100000 forins. Holland
went tulip mad. The bulbs We're quot
ed on the Stock Exchange. Ownership
in them was divided into shares. Spec
ulators sold them short. At one time
more tulips were sold than existed. At
Lille a brewer sold his trade and good
will in exchange for bulb, which was
thereafter known as the Brewery tu-
lip. In Amsterdam Il father gave one
by way of dover with his child. There
after the variety was known as the
Marriage of My Daughter. At Rotter-
dam a hungry sailor, happening on a
few, mistOok them for onions and ate
them. The repast became as famous
as Cleopatra's pearls and probably eX-

BATTLES WITH LOCUSTS,
In 1880 an Army Was Arrayed Against
the Ravaging Pests, Which Were
Eaten In Some Localities.

Since the days of the pharaohs the
locust has been an unmitigated plague.
Pliny relates that in many places in
Greece a law obliged the inhabitants
to wage war against the insects three
times year,. e., in their various
states of egg, larvae and adult.
In 17f9 locusts stopped the army Of
Charles XII, king of Sweden, as it was
retreating from Bessarabia after it's
defeat at Poltava. The king at first
imagined that he was being assailed
by a terrific hailstOrm.
In Pennsylvania in 17SO the ravages
Of the locusts assumed such disastrous
proportions that the army had actually
to be called out to deal with the pests,
and whole regiments of soldiers were
employed gathering them up and put
ting them into sacks.
A weird, uncanny looking customer
is the locust. The general color scheme
Of his body is a kind of indefinite
green, relieved by pink legs and wings
of whitish color. Two huge, blank,
unmeaning eyes give an expression of
utter imbecility to the insects counte-
nance.
To atone in a measure for their de-
structive proclivities the locusts are edi-
bic. The Arabs are particularly fond
of them. Camels, to which they are
given after being dried and roasted
between two layers of ashes, look upon
locusts as great delicacies.
The flavor resembles that of crabs,
and in Bagdad they are consumed SO
extensively as to affect the price of
meat.-Stray Stories.

The Name Noah.

Not many persons are sufficiently ac-
Quainted with the Bible to know that
Noah was the name of a woman rs
well as of the patriarch. At an inquest
in England a female witness gave her
Christian name as Noah" The coro-
ner remarked that he had never before
known a woman to bear the name,
whereupOn the witness, who was well
posted i'll the origin Of her singular
prenomen, said:
at is a Bible name, sir; you'll find it
in the last chapter Of the book of Num-
berS.''
Reference was duly made, and il

chapter the coroner found mention
made of "Mahlah, Tirzah and Hogla h

Ancient Spectacle Makers.

The ancient Guild Of Spectacle Max
ers is numerically one of the strongest
London companies. Its charter dates
from the year 1929 and, though the ex-
act date of it's origin is lost, there is
ample evidence that the calling of
spectacle maker was extensively fol
lowed at very early date. An old
