A CARD OF THANKS

Whereas It has pleased the supreme ruler of Alaska (according to last reportS) to recommend someone else for the appoint ment as your future postmaster here at Iditarod it does not seem that the patrons of the postoffice have any voice or choice in the matter, and will have ot submit, for the present, to the wishes of someone who, fortunately for themselves, do not at the present time get their mail at this point
 Therefore 1 take this means of most sin cerey thanking my SEVEN HUNDRED FRIENDS in this camp who so willingly signed . petition requesting my appoint ment as postmaster at Iditarod, and my many friends on the Outside, and other places, who wrote to the Honorable Presi- dent and Postmaster General highly com mending me for the same.
 Hoping and trusting our next postmaster will give us good service, with malice to- ward none and good will to all,
 I am yours to command,
 WILLIAM ANSLEY.

ed States Queen Victoria exhausted every expedient known to the experts of her own realms in endeavor;ng to better the cond ticn of her son. but all were powerles- Then she determined to send the famous physician to New York, where medical mel agree that medical research is developed to the highest degree and where men know more about treating the deaf and dumb than do the most expert specialists of Europe.
 So deep was the queens grief over the afIliction of Don Jaime that she was touched by the thought of other mothers in Spain who were powerless to do aught for their children, and who might never hear childish words of love babbled from their mouths. She was urged on by the thought and spurred into even greater sc tivity in the case of her own child by the thought of others She determined that whatever she might learn in the inyesti- gation of Don Jaime's case she would turn to the benefit of other children who were her subjects.

MOTHER LOVE OF QUEEN
 BENEFITS UNFORTUNATES

Stirred by love for her second son, Don Jaime, who was born without the power to hear or to speak, Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain has become interested in the plight of the thousands of deaf and dumb chll- dren in the Spanish monarchy, and will institute schools for their education and benefit. In the interests of the young Don Jaime the qaeen of Spain has sent Dr. Yin cente Llorente to New York to study the case of Miss Helen Keller and the methods of teaching the mute to speak.
 So great power is the mother love of the queen that in Spain it has become a national influence. Never before has there been any determined or consistent effort to better the lot of the thousands of deaf mutes in Spain, though King Alfonso and Queen Victoria have been intensely inter ested in all movements looking toward the betterment of their subjects It is the opin- ion of many familiar with the work of the Spanish monarchs that the queen never realized the extent Of thlS particular at1llc- ton in her domains until it was brought home to her by the affiiction of her own sen.
 And so this mighty mother love oi a queen has resulted in the trip across the Atlantic ocean of enc of the most accom- plished physicians and surgeons of Spain, who has spent weeks studying American methods of treating the deaf and mute, and especially in studying the remarkable case of Helen Keller

THE BIOLOGISTS
 MEASURE OF TIME

1 Paleontology, says Gas Logic, is 8 much more important "ology' than most persons are aware. Briefly, it is that branch of biological science which deals with ancient life on the globe Naturally this is a sub ject about which the average man or woman knows very little indeed. It is not strange then, that congressional com mittee should have once asked DlrectoF Powell of the United States Geological Sur vey to explain the value of paleontology. His response was that it is "the geologlsts clock" by which he tells the time when rock beds are formed.
 1 The earliest animals were no doubt soft creatures of simple structure, whose dead bodies left few traceable impressions IF the mud and sands in which they were bur jed The successors of these early unknown animals acquired from generation to gen eration protective coverings whose remains in the older rocks are studied by paleontolo gists.
 The fossil shells of these early lnverte [ brates indicate the geologic period in which the beds containing them were tormed 1 Each fossihfrous rock bed contains charac | teristic forms or groups of forms that de | termne the period in which it wa, mud or sand
 The economic importance of pa.aontology | has been repeatedly shown lii the ct1.N | expended in New York in search of coal beds, until the geologlsts showed that the | beds in that state could contain no coal. The fossils are Devonian, whereas the fos- sils of the Pennsylvania anthracite coal beds belong to the Carboniferous, much later 1 period.
 This discovery at once stopped a useless 1 expenditure of money. The fossils of these rocks were not of merely academic inter est; they were of immediate practical i'm portance The key to the problem was found by determining the stratigraphic po- sition, CT, as it is ca led the geologic hor-
 n" of tie fossils and the rocks. 1 Rock beds that were originally nearly | horizontal become in time tilted or even overturned, so that the original relation of he beds may be difficult to determine. Fur 1 ttermore, the rock beds at any one place 10 not represent continuous series of de ncsits. for as most beds were laid down in aater, and as sea bottom may have be come land and aEtcTward again become sea oottcm. the stcry of the rocks is not every where clear.
 In time of doubt and pernlexity the geol- ! gist therefore turns to the paleontologlst | iar light on the age and original order of the beds he is studying. The study of the animal and plant remains that are em- 1 Dedded in the rocks has thus become an | important part of the geologic work, and l although those engaged in this study are few and rather poorly paid, their work is 1 of high importance.

SMOKED FORTY MILES
 OF CIGARS DURING LIFE

If there's peace in clear Havana" Herr Stark, a noted German misogynlst who died recently, had his share of peace in this world. During 60 years of his life he smoked more htan half million cigars. Shortly before he consumed his last Ha- vana he wrote:
 During my long lifetime l estimate that l have smoked more than 300, ,O00 cigars, an average of more than P daily for 60 years l have thus enjoyed 10000 hours of such happiness as no woman could have given men, and which was well worth the $50 ,OO0 that purchased it. My cigars have been the one solace and sweetness of my life and my only regret in leaving it is that cannot bring my record up to a million"
 Herr Nanas, an Austrian, was even more devoted to the great god Nicotine" From the time when he was 27 years old Herr Nanas kept an exact account of all he pur chased and what he paid for it. His ac count books show that in 27 years-be- tween 27 and 54-he consumed 28786 gases of beer A simple calculation shows that this astounding aggregate was reached by the modest consumption of only three glasses day.
 After his 54th birthday Herr Nanas aban doned the use of beer, but he smoked all the more constantly. so that when he died 73 years old he had consumed 628,713 cigars Of this number it was estimated that 42500 were given to him. and he spent S12,500 for the remainder This was about cents each.
 Fixing the average length of his cigars at four inches, which is probably too short, Herr Nanas must have reduced more than 1 70 miles of cigars to ashes and spent 36 solid years of his life doing it,
