GENEROSITY.

Old kink'S always willing tu preach. and hand out wise rupln- srl and teach: but ask him for aid when you're hungry and fray hd. and he'll stick to his wad like a Irrch. He's handy with proverb and text to comfort the needy and veXrd: but when there's plan to feed IndlSrnt man. old Rink never seems tO get next. He II help out he widow with D ,alms. and pray for her fatherles> lambs. but he never would try to bring joy iu her eye with codtish and san"rkraut and hams. On Sun day he joins in the hymn. and
 makes the responses with vim : when they pass around the box
 for the wOrshiper's rocks, his gift
 is exceedingly slim. He think $
 he is fonling tn" Lord and is sure of princely reward when tu
 heaven he goes at this life's journeys rlOse--with which view l am not in acdord., For the Lord. He is wise to gold bricks. Iand the humbug who crosses the StyX will have to be sharp if he captures harp: st. Peter will say tn him. Nix" They size up a
 man nearly right when he comes to the portals of light. and n, siingy old fraud ever thimble- rigGed God or put on a robe snowy white.

PaleontoIoqy.

The earliest animals of the earth were, no doubt, soft crea- lures of simple structure whose dead bodies left few traceable inn preSSiOns in the mud and sands in which they were buried. The suc- IcessOrS of these early unknown
 animals acquired from genera ;tiOn to generation protective cOv- erlngS whose remains in the old CT rocks are now studied by palenntolpgists. The fossil shells of these early invertebrates are of great importance to the geOl- ogist, for they indicate the geo. logic period in which the beds containing them were formed. Each fnssiliferous rock bed con- tains characteristic forms of groups of forms that determine the period in which it was mud or sand. Former Director Pow ell of the United States GeolOg- ical Survey once tersely explain ed to a congressional e nittee the value of paleontolog. say ing that it is "the g gist's clock" by which he tells le time IWhen rock beds were formed. Naturally, paleontology shows all so the order OF succession and therefore the relation of the rock beds studied by the geologist.

Air ships for Alaska.

Falcon Joslin, president of the Tanana Mines Railway company, is in Germany Investigating the workings of the Zeppelin air ships. Should these airships ap- pear feasible for the conveyance of passengers and light freight traffic, it is the plan of Mr. Jos lin to establish airslip lines in various part of Alaska. The first line to be established in Alaska will hr between Chitima and Fair banks. The mail contracts expire next year on this route. and this is said tO be another inrruI i've for Mr.. J">lin'> present inveStiga- tions. The Zeppelin airShip is proving a great success and is Thought tu be a solution of the transportation problem in new countries. An airship of this type can carry 80 or more pas srngrrS and travel at speed of
 10 miles an hunr.--krirhikau Miner.

SENATOR WILLARD
 WANTS LAWS
Continued Tom page

Continued 1.un page 1 passed by Congress offering any hing for sale is a contract be- tween the government and the party trying to purchase il. The average Alaskan wants tn see justice done to the coal claim ants, but. however, insists that the government open up Inc coal | immediately. The fact that he government should open up the coal would not inNalidatr a just l and legal claim. We are paying annually SlS,ooO for coal with which ln operate the Cliff mine. or nine dollars per ion for Wash- ingtun steam coal. This should ! be cut in two.
 II am in favor of the gnvrrn- imrnt immediately taking up the subject of Alaskan transporla- ton. l am inclined to favor gov ernment building and owning of railroads OF of government aS- sistance in the building and of government controlling of he roads to the end that cheaper transportation may be brought about in Alaska.
 II think the Alaska code should be revised and provision made for q revenue system for Alaska and other matters should be careful ly gone into."
 Senator Willard has had quite an experience before coming to Alaska in politics, having been mayor of city, and several years as councilman, and county board member in Chippewa Falls, Wis ,,consin. He served one term in the lower house of the WiscOn- sin legislature and one term as sergeant -at-arms in the lower house and five years on the Re- publican state central committee ISince coming to Alaska, l5 years ago, he has taken no part in |politics up to the present time jHe was elected as non-partisan and a thorough progressive, whatever that name is politically And he says that he is and will be-, at all times for that which he believes will be to the best in lterests of Alaska in general.
 He is warm supporter of home rule for Alaska and tOuch- ing the home situation as to ap- pointmentS for Alaska his posi- tion is more specifically shown by the fact that he will introduce in the senate joint resolution requesting President Wilson to appoint bona tide residents of Alaska to fill all offices from gov rrnor down.
