of Washington, while much Of the
greater portion of the north has q
k1ndlfer climate than Stockholm or st.
Petersburg. There is more railroad
building 500 miles north of. the Cana
dian border than there is for the same
distance south Of it.
In concluding his reasons for the
creation Of such conservation machin-
cry for Alaska, Secretary Lane says:
In short, I would construct the ad-
most surely lead to prompt inc con-
t1nuous development of Alaska as 8
part Of the United States upon a plane
commensurate with her possibilities in
dustrially, agriculturally and socially.
ALASKA. should not, in my judg-
ment, be regarded as a mere ~storehouse
OF upon which the people Of
the United States may draw. She has
he potenttalities of a state. And what
eve policy may be adopted should look
toward an Alaska of homes, of indus
tries and of an extended commerce.
Strongly as I would urge this meth
cd Of management-for 1t offers a rare
opportunity to exhibit the efficiency of
a republic would not have Alaska
wait for needed legislation until the
merits Of such q plan could be passed
upon by congress. Those things which
appeal to me as Of immediate neces-
sity upon which independent action
nay be taken are G) the construction
Of railroads in the territory and S2)
the opening Of her coal lands"
Secretary Lane expresses. the opinion
that privately owned railroads would
not be constructed in Alaska for many
years, except as adJuncts to private en-
terprises. He regards it wise, therefore,
for the government to undertake their
building.
Other Recommendations.
Secretary Lane expresses frankly his
dissatisfaction with the operation of
the homestead law as to the timber
lands. He says h "homesteader," after
sells it for $4,000 to $4,000 to some
lumber company, without making an
effort to comply with the spirit Of the
law. Thus the government loses the
timber n he land and does mo- gain
a real homemaker. Such homesteaders
add nothing to the wealth of the ma
ton. The law should punish them, in
fact, as frauds. There is a remedy for
this condition of things, and 1t lies in
the selling Of the land and the timber
separately.
Much attention is devoted in the re-
port to consideration Of h reclama-
ton Of arid lands. Discussion Of the
subject is replete with interest to the
farmers who locate on the various pro-
jects. Secretary Lane suggests that
they be given a longer time than 10
years in which to pay for their lands.
because they are genuine pioneers in
a new field Of work, on the success Of
which depends greatly h rescuing of
a vast territory" OF these reclamation
projects, Secretary Lane says:

wisely $780, 00, 600 in the next 10 years

Evolution Of Billiards.

The development of the billiard ta-
BILE has been interesting. In those
far back days when billiards seem first
to have become an indoor game, a bill
lizard table was about the size of a
big roena. The average table was 80
feet long and 10 feet wide. The size
was gradually and irregularly de,
creased, until the present standard
arom table was introduced at a bill
lizard tournament held in Samson hall.

A BILLION DOLLARS.
The Time 1t Would Take an Export t
 Count Them SinqIy.

The Time It Would Take an Expert to
 Count Them Sinsly.
 I wonder if we realize when we talk of a billion dollars what an enormous sum of money it means?
 We all know how rapidly an expert counter of coins will manipulate them. You can scarcely follow the motion of his fingers as he shifts the coins from one pile to another and counts them. The treasury experts will count 4,OOO silver dollars ill an hour and keep 1t up all day long, but that is their limit.
 Working eight hours day, then, an expert counter of coins will count BE- GOO silver dollars in a day, but how long will it take him at that rate to count $1.OOO,OOO? Thirty-One days.
 But that is only the beginning of the measurements of great figures, for if this same man were to go on counting silver dollars at the same rate of speed for ten years he would find that he had only counted 1OO,OOO,OOO of them and that to count $1,OOO,OOO,OOO would re- quire 1O2 years of steady work at the rate of eight hours day during every working day of every one of the 1O2 years.-O. P. Austin, Former Chief of Bureau of Statistics.

Mind and fha Sun.

Wind does not always go down with the sun, but may blow from high to low after sunset If wind starts to fill up low pressure area before sun set it is liable to keep pouring in until 1t is filled and equilibrium restored. If wind stops exactly at instant of sun set one may rest assured that the area of barometrical depression is filled. If wind blows from sea to land by day it may stop at sunset and reverse direc- ton. If it does the cause is that at sunrise the suns radiant energy heats the land more than 1t does the water. The land warns the air, increases its rarity, and it rises, producing a lower pressure area, and cooler air from over the ocean rushes in to fill it. After sunset land cools in less time than the water, and the direction of flow is re- versed. But this may not always Oc- cur. Local causes, as fog, saturatiOn of air, electrical conditions and others may prevent.-New York Journal.

4 SOLAR ECLIPSE.
when Totalty Occurs Nature Takes on
 an Awesome Aspect.


 an Awesome Aspect.
 A total eclipse of the sun is wen- derful sight Where the eclipse is but martial the disk of the moon will creep across the face of the sun little by little, but will never completely ob- acI1re the orb. But where 'totality" occurs the sun at a given moment will be entirely obliterated and the inhabi- tants of the regions across which the black band will stretch will perceive the most wonderful phenomenon known to astronomers-the display of the "coro' ma" of the sun.
 Great waves of incandescent gas hundreds of thousands of miles long. reaching out from the sun Into the ether, will be perceived. The country side will take on sinister, night gray color, and tints of nature will pale and deaden as at twilight. the temperature will diminish sensibly, the birds, be. Neving night has come, will ceaae their song and seek their nests. person who has never seen this strange mani festation of nature cannot form my idea of It's nwesome aspect.
 This eclipse ia Il recurring phonom- enon. At the end of every period of eighteen years md eleven days the moon comes between the earth and the sun at just such an angle that the suns light Ia completely shut off from a portion of tho world and partially shut off from much larger part New York World.

Compensation,

To the late Admiral Cuniberti, mem Der of tho Italian naval engineering staff, is due the credit of having sug' gested the modern Dreadnought. Ii was he, also, who suggested the mod
 ern type of scout, and he was one of the first to study the question of the application of liquid fuel to marine boilers. It was his influence which led to the adoption of this fuel in the Ital. ian torpedo boat service.
