in the middle of Dolphin and Union
Strait. One of the members Of the
expedition then approached the newly
discovered people and after a narrow
escape of being knitted by one of the
party, friendly negotiations were I'M
dertaken.
There were thirty-nine members of
the group, a small part Of the A-Ku-Li-
A-Kat-Tag-M Mutt. According to the ex-
plorers neither they nor their fore
fathers had ever seen a white man.
The winter home of these people is in
the middle of the strait north of Cape
Bexley, but in the summer they hunt
inland south of the cape.
It was discovered by members of
the expedition that of the one thous-
and Eskimos on the two sides of Coro-
nation Gulf and Dolphin and Union
straits, not more than twenty men had
ever seen a white man, thus repre-
senting less contact with the white
race than the people of any part of

THEATER IN CHINA
Playhouse Is the Great Nationa
Amusement.
English Writer Attends Performance
and Tells of His Experience With
Celestials-PIay Lasts Sew
eraI Days.

Pek1n, Chlna.-The theater in
China is the great national amuse-
ment, and the Chinese will attend a.
play that lasts for several days with
out getting the least tired of it, says
an English writer.
L Figure to yourself a huge, dingy
barn crammed full of Chinese, mostly
OF the coolie class, the men all on
one side and the women on the other;
attendants go round selling saucers of
fruit, melon seeds, sweetmeats and
cups OF green unsteWed tea. Up
above is huge gallery, also crammed
with tier upon tier of men, women
and children, smoking, eating and ges-
tlculatlng, but, as a rule, perfectly
we'll behaved. In the last respect they
could give many of our own music
hall audiences points, and they never
applaud.
Some have taken their shoes off and
sit with their bare feet up on the
edge in front of them, where also is
placed the program Gin Chinese and
written from the bottom of the page
up to the top), and the saucers of
fruit and other "chow'' purchased
from the half-naked attendants. The
odor from this unwashed mass of hui
mainly is appalling.
AS you push your way through the
crowd to your reserved pew, because
that is exactly what it is like, you
hear the beating of tomtoms and the
strident squeak of fiddles completely
out of tune, mingled with a sound as
though all the fireirons in Christen-
dom were being thrown downstairs.
This is the orchestra, and it plays
throughout the performance; there is
no escape from it, even for a moment,
and the crash of cymbals and bang
1ngs of gongs never give you one mo-
ment's respite.
Through the dim, cloudy atmos-
phere you catch sight of what is hap
pening on the stage. There is no
scenery, no drop curtain, no wings
and no footlights. The actors make
their entrance from doors at the back
of the stage, one of which is to the
left and the other on the right.
* NO actresses appear. -. Although
not actually forbidden, it is consid-
cred extremely bad form for a woman
to appear on the stage in China. All
the women's parts have to be taken
by men, and the impersonation is
absolutely perfect as to department,
gesture, dress and figure, and, above
all, voice. The shrill falsetto twitter.

Making a Home of Your Abode

wife and mother take a vacation D.?
They're fond of her, of course, but
there isn't any doubt about a certain
sense of freedom and relief which her
absence affords. When John puts her

stead, he takes an almost fiendish de-

house without the fear of being or

GOLD is MINED BY QUAKEs

Mineral Deposits in the

Nome, Alaska.-'It's a poor earth.
quake that does nobody any good" is
the new and startling version of the
old proverb. "It's an ill wind that
blows nobody any good"
The earthquake disturbances of
September and October in southwest
ern Alaska have brought to the sur
face scores of gold mines, which will
add millions of dollars to the wealth
of the people Of the territory.
The manner in which the earth
quake operates to bring a potential
gold mine in sight is, says the Detroit
Free Press, as follows: f'When the
trembling motion of the earth's crust
becomes exceedingly violent it pro-
duces deep cracks in the surface. The
earthquake, it is we'll known, rolls
over the surface of the earth in a GER
tain direction, just as a wave rolls
over the surface of the ocean.
The earthquake, however, is not
working in a fluid medium, and it's
action upon the more stiff and brittle
crust Of the earth produces many
kinds of fractures and rearrange-
ments Of the superficial strata. One
portion of layer of rock is lifted up
and placed upon another. What was
once the surface of the earth is buried
deep out of sight, and the rock that
has been buried deep out Of sight for
ages is brought to light.
That side of a crack in the earth
from which the pressure is coming is
very apt to be lifted up and pushed
over the opposite side. In other cases
the gold-bearing lode lies concealed
under the surface soil of hillside
and the earthquake shakes away the
gold, exposing the quartz.
The gold-bearing lead in the newly
fractured rock is lifted up and expos
ed few feet above the ground. The
miner has only to stretch forth his
pick and strike the auriferous rock.
Thus, through an Intervention of the
benevolent earthquake, gold is discov-
cred which might never have been
found, and, in any case, an expendi-
ture of many thousands of dollars in
mining machinery is avoided.

sages from Stefansson and Anderson,
leaders of the Arctic expedition now

and the Geological Survey of the Can

In May, Stefansson crossed over to
Victoria Land, where he discovered
Scandinavian like people called the
Ha-Ne-Rag-Mi-Ut. They are described
as a North European people. One of
the Alaskan Eskimo guides said in
commenting upon their appearance:
They are not Eskimo; they are
'fo'c'sle' men. Two Of them had chin
boards described as light and turning
to red, and all had light eyebrows"
Most interesting perhaps of their
experiences are the discoveries Of sew
eral races of new people, and ruined
villages formerly occupied by Eskimos
and apparently abandoned from TWEEN
ty-five to fifty years ago.
The inhabitants of these VILLAGES en-
gagged in whaling, judging from the
bones of whales scattered about. At
Cape Boxley, last May, the explorers
came upon a village of about forty
snow houses, which apparently had
recently been abandoned. Sled trails
led north toward Victoria Land, which

"As the explorers of the last CEN
tury never found people near here, I
suppose the village and trail are evil

pie, who had come across the strait
to get driftwood," says one member
of the expedition in an account of the
trip. Later, the expedition discovered
