In the richly wooded valley of the Arno about one hundred and eighty five miles north west of Rome. is the famous wiiled city ot Florence. the pro tempore capital Of Italy, Florence is known Go travellers as one of the most beautiful cities ol the world and is famous for Che beauty of ils many cathedrals and palaces. as well as for Che fact that it's galleries contain many or Che worlds masterpieces of painting.
 Florence claims Co have furnished Italy more great men than any other city of the Kiugdom-and might es- tahlish the same claim for all of Eur ope. for her aunais show that the new capital is the birthplace oi Dante, Al.enaei Angelo Da Vinci Petrareh.

played no small part in som. phase or other of the worlds history
 The city dates back to the time of Sulla. that one time oulcast of Rome who planted there 9 colony of his followers. A little later. after be. ing famed in the days Of Tiberitus for its famous orators and writers, the city fell beneath Che destructive cam paign of the invading Goths lt was not until. two hundred and fifty years later that the city came to her own again under the rule ol Charlemagne, through whose influence it became the chief city of the republic. and achieved the rank Of an Italian Athens.
 This is not Fiorence's first exper. fence at being @ capital. for until 1860 it was known as the seat of govern ment for the grand duchy of Tuscany. and honor which it forfeited when ,he province was annexed to the Kingdom of Italy.

The value Of real exempt property is not included in the foreging com parison for the reason that at the censuses of 1850 to 1870 no data re- laung to this item were collected. Be- ginning with 1880, however, the in- Qulrles have covered both taxed and exempt property The following ta- ble shows the estimated value of all classes of wealth combined for the census years 1880 Co 1912:

Alaska. vast, practically unknown
 and undeveloped Alaska is the land
 Co Che northwest of us which Uncle
 Samuel bought from the Russians a few years ago for song. Uncle sam
 knows 8 good thing when he sees it and certainly made good deal when he apprehended Alaska. and added
 this wonderland Of Che North to his excellent possessions.
 The brief visit which the writer has made to Alaska Is altogether made Quate for extensive details concerning the country. but what he has seen and heard will comprise valuable asset to his life and experience.
 Juneau. the capital of this North land. is situated on the southwestern coast of Alaska. Che distance from Seattle Wash. to Juneau is about one thousand miles and is covered in ap- proXimately four days by steamer. This passage is most unique and prob ably is without a peer in the world lt is mostly an inland waterway All along the coast of British Columbia and Alaska is large group of islands and the steamships pass among these. making three days ocean passage seem like @ river passage. much like a sail up the Penobscot River in Maine The country has the appear ance of being uninhobited and is, to a large extent. Occasionally an In- dian family may be seen engaged in fishing. and now and then g fishery where salmon is canned for the worlds market. but this wild scenery is enchanting. The mountains with their snowy peaks kiss the clouds while mountain streams. torrents and beautiful cascades pour their contents into Che sea. Every tourist with camera or kodak keeps busy shooting at these cataracts of the wild. But cameras only faintiy reproduce the scenes.

 No other class Of property was val ued at as much as billion dollars. It will be seen that real estate. taxed and exempt represents nearly GO per cent. of the estimated value of all property.
 The total wealth of New York S25,- 01LOOO.0OO, is the greatest shown for any state, with Illinois and Pennsyl- vania, with S15fS4,0OO-OOO and Sl5.. 45S. .0O0.0O0. respectively, are close ri- vals for second place.

Michigan S5.427 100000 and Indiana, $5,195,oo0,OoO No oth- er state is credited with as much as. S5.OOO.0OO.OOO.
 When the comparisons are applied on a per capita basis howevcrh a very different showing is made. The highest per capita for wealth in the hands of individuals and commercial organizations that is. exclusive off the nontaxable property owned by governmental. educational, charitable. and religious institutions-is given for Nevada. S4.S65, Next in order comes Iowa, with SS.945; North Da- kota. $S.2lO; californie, $S.11S; Ne braska. S2,s54; Montana. S2,74S; Colo rado. S2,66S; Kansas S2,525; oregon, $2.523; and Illinois. S2,5O7. Tn no oth CT state was the figure as high as $2- 800. Only three states. Illinois, Cali fornia and lowa-for which the total valuations were high also showed high percapita figures.
 That assessed valuations do not, in furnish any index to theI actual wealth of the various states is brought out in a striking manner by table showing the ratios between assessed and estimated true valuations of property throughout the United States. These ratios vary from III per cent in Iowa to 100 per cent in New Hampshire and Wyoming. In Il states they are SS 1-S per cent or less in 2i states. 50 per cent or less: and in 18 states, 66 2-S per cent. or more.
