Alaska's Yearly Newspaper.
From the Wide World MAGAZINE

In the bad old days the masters of
the whaling vessels sailing from San
Francisco to the far north used to give
h Alaskan Eskimo raw fire water
in order to secure the valuable furs
they had obtained during the long Arctic
winter. Little they dreamt that these
fierce children of the north would one
day be so advancer as to print their
W newspaper! After the terrible
slaughter by the whalers of the al
cohol-frenzied natives at Cape Prince
of Wales. in Boring strait, it was q
rather ticklish job for a white man to
start q bible class. Still. Mr.. H. A.
Thornton attempted 1t, but he was shot
dead by a boy of IA. who was killed in
his urn by his own kinsman. This
affair happened in 1880. Two years
after Mr.. w. T. Lopp appeared on the
scene with his wife. They settled at
Cape Prince of Wales. and veal after
year. until 1908, they taught humanity
to the Eskimos. The reindeer was In
troduced o Siberia. and MI. Lopp
got his pupils to learn to rear the
herds. He also taught them boat
building. carpentering. etc, and, to put
Q lanal touch TO his valuable work. he
had q small press brought from the
states. and It was not long after that
his willing pupils were able to compose
and print their own paper. This %

Harvesting a Shark.
ID. w. o. Pagan, in Wide World Mag

~. w. -. faSait, III Wl0e world Magazine.
The sharks jaws are pried open to
the fullest extent; a stout eight-foot
spar of tough timber, four inches by
fou In cross measurement. is fixed
~transversely far back in the angle Of
The Jaw. the ends projecting on either
side. A strong rope leading from the
ends Of the spar is drawn close and
frightened with Il clove-hitch round the
fish's tail. behind the wide tail flukes.
1t Is thus the sailor harnesses his
enemy.
The clamp Of the cruel Jaws drives
the two-inch long teeth deep into the
tough p The tight line holds it in
place, and, struggle as he may, the
shark fails to move the spar an inch
from its position. AS a finishing touch,
the sailor drew his knife blade across
the sharks eyeballs and let him GO.
Bltted and bridled. blinded, with Jaws
wide gaping, he swan through a limit

cles. The queer furnishings he bore
and silent he passed like Cain among

cry ended his existence.
Cruel? OF curse it was. But surely.
like the snake, the shark has
long put himself beyond the pale of
human mercy. Soft hearted as he US
ually Is, the sailor man has a long
memory. The shark has followed for
weeks in the shadow of his ship, and
has watched each man of the crew with
greedy, m%alevolent eye. There is a
heavy debt against all the shark tribe
for many a lost mariner, and, when
the chance comes to settle old scores
the sailor pays 1t to the full. Besides
h thing has the sanction of immemor-
ial custom. 1t was some old Phoeni-
clan, trading out Of Tyre to the far
Cassitorides. who, probably first put
the trick in practice.

Tho Rim God. Of Mandi.

Mandi is enc of the native states of
India, and the people are superstitious
to u degree. Fine weather or rain is
obtained by solemn official orders from
the government to the rain gods. the
said detties being duly punished If they
neglect to carry out their instructions.
In the January Wide World Magazine,
=. Z. Garbett, settlement officer, Mandi
state, fully describes how the rain
gods Of Mandi work. The following
is q literal translation Of an order for
sunshine:
To Manager Sahib Upida Jai Dcv.-
The rain has caused great distress; or
ders and offerings to the gods have al
ready been dispatched. No sunshine
has ensued. At the request of the adj
m~inistration, be good enough to SEND

Thereupon the priests were ordered
to fast until the fine weather appeared
and sacrifices of u goat apiece were
made to the gods. 1t cleared a lit
tie then, but no sooner had the priests
had a meal than down came the rain

CHAPTER VIII.

GENT

The sun was shining brightly through
the bars of my window when I opened
my eyes. So soundly had I slept that
l had not heard the entry Of the guard,
who had placed my breakfast on the
chair beside me. 1t consisted of q
pound of bread, which I learned after
wards was the daily allowance for each
prisoner in the bastile, and a plate of
haricot, in which bones and turnips
were most conspicuous, and which I
judged to consist of the remains of the
dinner of h previous day. A can Of
water completed the repast, and I ate
without grumbling. Not knowing that
the bread was to last me the entire day.
