LOVES MEN OF ALASKA.
Bishop Rowe Tells Of Alaska and The
Sturdy Manhood Of Those Who Go
There Preacher at ST. Anne's
Afternoon Service.

1t had been rRining for forty hours
and was raining hard at half-past 4
o'clock yesterday afternoon. This is
the re gulsr hour for the evening ser
vice at this season of the year in St.
Anne's Church, and the Bishop of
Alaska was to be the preacher. If
ANYTHING in the weather has an effect
upoa congregations then we must
say the weather filled st. Anne's
Church with congregation yesterday
afternoon.
People do, sometimes, rise in the
face of weather and other things
ana do credit to themselves, but
we believe the name of Bishop
Rowe, of Alaska, means something
to do with this increase of worship.
ers and listeners. They were we'll
rewarded He talked for forty min
utes and it seemed as though he
had only talked for ten. He told ef
the opening up OF Alaska to Chris
tisnity, through the Orthodox
Greek Church of Russia, when it
was Russian-America. He quoted
Bret Harte's legend Of the Presidio
of San Francisco Conception de AR
guello, about the Russian governor
of Alaska, Count vln Resanoff, and
the lovely daughter of the Spanish
governor of California. when "by love
was contaminated what diplomacy
begun.
He then told of the heroic struggles
of New York street urchin to be-
come choir boy in st. Michael's
Church, then to be educated and be
admitted to Holy Orders and, finally,
to be the first American missionary
to Alaska after its purchase by the
United States. Bishop Rowe's ac-
counts of his long trip over the SHOWS
through Arctic cold, in perils of
snow and wolves held the ccngrega-
tion spellbound. His narrative of
work among lonely pioneers and to
encourage Christian women workers
and nurses and among the indians
and esquimaux were thrilling and
pathe tic. He says the best of our
manhood goes to Alaska. He loves
it, for it is strong and noble and do
ing big things. 1t is not contented
20 do anything but that which makes
for big things, yet it will live alone
for months in the wilderness for the
great ends of the opportunities.
These women workers are thous-
ands of miles from one another.
They are devout and long for spiritual
ministrations. They have gone for
many months without the sacrament
Of the altar. When he reaches them
their request is for the Holy Com
munion and he administers it each
day he is with them. When he finds
a solitary man holding some remote
post, the conversation soon turns to
religious subjects. The man will
often ask to sing hymn and then
service follows. Only two men are
at this service, but the congregation
is a gre at one, all the angels OF GOO
are there. The Boshop often breaches
to one man and is reminded of our
Lord and His congregation of one,
the woman of Samria at the well of
Sychsr.

HORRORS OF BALKAN WAR DEFY
POWERS Of COMMISSION TO EXPRESS

Evidence gathered regarding the
village of Akanjeli satisfied the com
mission that although the village
submitted from the first, it was
sacked and burned; the Greek troops
gave themselves up openly to a de-
bauch of lust, and that many of the
peasants were killed wantonly and
without provocation. The mass of
evidence, according to the report,
goes to show that there was nothing
singular in the cases which the
commission itself investigated. In
one instance a number of Europeans
witnessed the brutal conduct of a
detachment of Greek regulars under
three officers. Fifteen wounded Bull
garian soldiers took refuge in the
Catholic convent of Paliortsi and
were nursed by the sisters Father
Alloati reported this fact to the
Greek commandant, whereupon a de-
tachment was sent to search for a
Bulgarian chief who was not there.
In the course of the search the Bull
garian Catholic priest was severely
logged in the presence of Greek Of
ficers A Greek soldier attempted to
violate nun, five Bulgarian women
and young girl were tortured and
large number of peasants carried
off to prison without reason. The
officer in command threatened to kill
Father Alloati on the spot and to
burn down the convent
In a subsequent chapter there is
an exposure of the atrocities com
mitted at Adrianople by the Bulgari
ans and reprisals by the Turks. The
recital of murder, massacres, torture
I pillage, rape and unspeakable cruel
ties is continued Instances include
the drowning of As Turks at Kava
Catch by Bulgarians, the numbering
of 300 people in and about Rodost'
as Turkish reprisal A Greek re
port states that the Turkish arm.

ISLAND OF BARITE
FOUND ON COAST
EASTERN ALASKA

An interesting deposit of barite, or
heavy spar" was discovered by
Ernest F. Burchard, of the geological
survey. while searching for marble
deposits in southeastern Alaska in
September, 1918. This barite is situ-
ated on one of the Castle Islands, in
Duncan canal, long, narrow bay 3
to 10 miles west of the well-known
Wrangell Narrows. and is, by navig-
able waterways, about 40 miles north
west of the town of Wrangell. There
is little in the appearance of the de-
post to suggest that it is other than
cliff of weather-beaten, fractured
limestone. and it is probable that
fishermen have sailed past it or have
anchored their boats in its lee for
more than a generation, never sus-
pecting that it is composed almost
wholly of barium sulphate, a mineral
that is very useful but is much less
common than those that make up the
bulk Of rock masses. At any rate,
there was no evidence that the de-
post had ever been prospected prior
to the visit of the survey party. The
material must be handled to be APP
preciated. 1t is a little softer than
limestone but about one and two
third times as heavy.
The rock mass formed by the bar
lite stands as a block connected with
one of the islands by low, narrow
neck, about 800 feet long, that is COW
cred by water to depth of five TO
ten feet at high tide. The top OF this
barite CUTLER stands about 35 feet
above high-tide level, and the mass
is possibly at the maximum rs feet
wide and 200 feet long According to
a rough calculation based on meas
urements by pacing, there should be
more than 10000 short tons of barite
available above high-tide level. Meth
er the appearance of the mass nor it's
geologic relations and structure offer
very clear suggestions as to its ma
ture or origin, but it is supposed to
represent the residual portion of a
large vein of barite, extending paral-
lei to the schistosity of the rock in
the adjacent island, which is com
posed mainly of schist.
4 Tho ho rite r,.hara fraoh fc for "a
most part finely crystalline, gray
ish-white rock with thin grayish-blue
veins and thin black streaks. A little
of the barite is coarsely crystalline
and white in color, and some white
quartz is present in thin seams and
small segregations. Pyrite is nearly
everywhere disseminated in fine
specks throughout the mass. The
thin black streaks are segregation:
of dark minerals, among which are
galena, sphalerite, magnetic, ant
graphite. On weathered surfaces the
material is stained with iron rust re
sulting from the oxidation of the iroT
pyrites. The powdered barite il
grayish white in color and under ;
lens shows many particles of metalli,
sulphides.
Assays show percentages Of preC
ious metals too low to classify th'
barite as a metalliferous ore, AM
therefore its commercial value vii
depend on the quality and market
ability of the barite itself.
