WY ASIIINGTON.-School teachers in
w Alaska must have thorough
knowledge of medicine as well as
pedagogy. The Alaska school serv-
ice is the only system of education in
the United States or any of its pos
sessions which is under the direct
control of the federal bureau of edu-
cation. In the northwest territory
there are large areas in which the
services of regular physicians are
not obtainable. 1t often becomes the
duty of the public school teachers not
only to render first aid to the injured
or sick native, but TO care for him
throughout the entire course of
severe illness without the aid of a
physician
For the assistance of men working
in Uncle Sans Alaska school service
DIR. Emil Krulish of the United States
public health service and DR.. Daniel
S. Neumann of the United States bu-
reau of education have together writ

WHERE WIVES ARE SLAVES

More unattractive than the Abors it
would be hard to find. Of Tibeto-Bur-
man origin, they speak a language
which is allied to that Of the Tibetans,
while their arts, such as they are,
probably come from Tibet. Their re-
ligion is animistic. The deity "Piang"
is the god OF war and the chase, and is
believed TO favor attacks on defense
less neighbOrs and the ruthless de-

policy to propitiate him, men and
women are killed or taken as slaves,
big game is hunted, birds, squirrels,

COUNTRIES YET UNEMPLOYED

Perhaps one of the most interesting
and least known countries on the face
of the globe and one which has, SO far
pretty successfully defied civilization
lies secreted among the Himalaya
mountains.
1t is presided over entirely by wof
men, who are responsible for such
rude laws as are necessary even in
lawless district, manage the affairs OF
state, and live in luxury of inverted
Mormonism by possessing four or five
husbands apiece All the rough tasks
and mental labors are assigned to the
hillmen, and mere man" is of small
account beside these Himalaya anna
IONS.
On a rough estimate, it is declared
chat 100000 square miles, or one
eighth of the total land surface of the
world are waiting to be discovered.
Some 100000 of this lies in the Arctic
regions of the north, but among the
frozen tracts that form "Antarct1cs
in the south, where Scott and his gal
liant followers were penetrating, near
" 100000 square miles are delegated
to the sole use of the whale, penguin
and other animals and birds OF the
frozen zone.

tract of land UNEMPLOYED which is near
" five times as large as Great Britain.
Probably there is no more desolate
waste tc be found in the entire globe
than that which is called the dwell

is estimated to flow throughout it's en-

TEXAS HAS ONLY "DOGARo0"

The city of San Antonio, Texas,
boasts Of being the home of the only
"Dogaroo' in the world, or at least the
only one in captivity. The animal has
puzzled both Mexican and American
naturalists. The "Dogaroo" is owned,
and was brought from Mexico, by Don
Manuel Rodriguez, former Mexican
lieutenant under General Madero in the
Mexican revolution. "Brijida.' as the
animal has been named. resembles
dog in that she barks and ways her
tail, and her short front legs and large
stout hind legs bear similarity to
those of a kangaroo A pouch under
meath the animals abdomen resembles
the pocket in which the female kan
CARGO carries it's young. The vegeta-
rian habits, typical of the Australian
kangaroo, are missing and the animal
eats the same food as the ordinary
Mexican hairless dog, being exception
ally fond of enchilados and tortillas.

Mexican dog It's father is unknown.
It's mode of locomotion is akin to that

ventilate your clothes as we'll as your

of heat and cold in the water. Kill the
fly and don't get chilled at night.
"If you are blond, avoid the bright
lights, because they are rich in chem
ical ether waves. In persons that have
considerable pigment in their skins
in brunettes-these short, rapid, acti-
mic waves are transformed into long

waves have deleterious- effect on the
nervous system of those whose skin

"8londs should avoid sunlight as
much as possible, and when they do go
out they should wear colored glasses,
hats with orange lining and their
clothes outside should be white, to re-
fleet the heat rays. Their underwear
should be colored, preferably orange
or blue. This is to protect the skin"

BANK-NOTES THAT SPEAK

An English bank-note expert has
recently invented a method that will
insure the paper currency of that
country against forgery.
The principle Of this invention lies
in the application to the edge of
bank-note of a pictorial record of
some specially arranged phrase. A
bank-notel so provided would, when
placed in photograph, reproduce this
phrase for the benefit of the bank
manager or the person disputing the
genuineness of the note.
Assume that the code phrase for a
6 note is "G5 note" This would be
extremely unlikely, but would serve to
illustrate the point. A pictorial record
of the oscillations produced during the
utterance Of the phrase would be made
and die cut capable of reproducing
the peculiar wave lines. With this. die
the edge of e IS notes would be per-
forated. The note then becomes, in
addition to unit in currency, phono-
graphic record Of it's own genuine
ness,

cry and turned. Upon the barbed fly

complete toupee of hair.
Before he could stir, the girl, with
a low cry, pressed her hands to her

she ran; then the cracking died away
and he stood staring at his hideous
trophy. -tA H'.
He understood now what she meant
by her disparagement of his praises,
and the remembrance, the rising pity,
made his love truer and more intense
than before. During the year that
followed, throughout the fall and the
long. cold winter months he dreamed
perpetually of a lake studded with
sunshine and a girl who stood beside,
him on it's brink. He understood the
shame in her heart her swift dis
armament by his discovery of her
secret He longed &C., her. He looked
for her on every street, but he never
encountered her.
If she came back now he would
prove his fidelity. But he had little
hope that she would come. Yet, be-
cause his love was stronger than his
disbelief he stood upon the wooded
point of the same lake year later
and waited.
The sun dropped in the sky, the loon
called, a trout leaped among the lilies,
and then, sadly, he turned to go. She
would not come. Eie had known it;
and something went out of his life
like the sun that suddenly went out
of the sky. And then-she stood be-
fore him.
"You!" he exclaimed, catching her
by the hands and looking at her with
utter incredulity.

in her face reflected that upon his
