The New Castle News explains
scientifically. or rather physiologically,
why the moth moves toward the flame.
The reason is found in the construc-
ton of it's body. If the rays of light
from the flame modify the chemical
condition of one eye more than the
other, there is a stronger muscular ten
sion on that side and the moth Is
forced to move toward the source Of
light. If one eye, however, is re-
moved, the chemical symmetry Is
destroyed and the moth moves in a
circle about the flame. The S. P. C.
A., however. is not engaged in knock
ing out moths eyes.

TAKOTNA ROUTE
Possibility of Increased Mail Serv' ice Suggested by Telegram
 Received Here

It was learned this week that recently received 8 telegram from A. R. Randlis chief clerk of the railway mail service ill Interior Alaska, who has charge of the mail routes of the Interior, asking him to make an estimate on the cost of transporting mail on 8 semi monthly schedule from Takotna to this city. It is presumed that the official has in contemplation the continuation of the Fairbanks Ruby Takotna service to this city Under the rule in force last year the mail from Fairbanks and Ruby which is carried on a semi monthly schedule to Takotna, Wa. left at the latter place to be picked up by In the early part of last season the mail from Seward was 8 limit cons gnment each trip, and the result was that the mail from Fair banks and Ruby was not delivered here but allowed to accumulate On one occasion 8 consignment of this mail was brought here by means of subscription raised among the residents
 This year the mail from Seward is not likely to be any lighter than it was last year, and it is conceded that if a semi monthly service from Talsotna were inau- gurated it would be valuable addition to the mail delivery service
 The nature of the reply of Mir. Gritfis to Mr Randls' telegram is not known, but Mayor Stanton is interesting himself in the matter, and last night he wired to the gov esnment official that the residents of the district were desirous that the route be in augursted and that various citizens were anxious to bid on the contract for carrying the mail
 As the mail will be carried this year over the new trail to Ophir the district between Takotna and this city will be without mail delivery unless such plan as that suggested is adopted, and it is needless to say that the residents along the old route will greatly favor the plan.

MAIL SERVICE
 BEGINS MONDAY
Trail Being Put in Shape for Carry ing Mail Over New Route
 via Ophir

Tom Boyd of Takotna, who is sub in the transportation of the mail over the Seward trail, which goes into effect on Mon day next, arrived in the city last Sunday. bringing with him horses and double pndcrs to start the mail from this end of the route. Accompanying Mr. Boyd were Fritz al ters, Billy Lodge and Teddy Cassidy. Wal ters will conduct a roadhouse on the new trail between this city and Ophir, which IS to be used by the mail carriers this year. Teddy Cassidy will carry the mail between Iditarod and Walters rosdhouse. MT. Lodge was here for the purpose of interesting the business men of this city in the work of i'm proving the trail. He was commissioned by the people of Ophir to take charge of the work from the Ophir end and having ac- complished his mission here, he went back over the trail to resume work.
 The trail to Ophir was cut some four years ago, but has not been travelled much. There are a few places where little grad ing must be done, and there are bridges needed in places. The trail will be put in good shape, and it is expected that consid- erable time will be saved compared with the old route via Takotna and Moore creek. Mir. Boyd says the route taken to Ophlr IS al most a straight line from this city, and be- sides, there are no high divides to cross The Moore creek divide was the scene of much difficulty for the mail carriers last year on account of the deep snow, and the new mail trail will have quite an advantage in this respect.
 Mir, Boyd himself will carry the mail be- tween Fritz Walters roadhouse and point on the other side of McGrath In making the trip from Ophir which ended last Sun day the party made the Halfway roadhouse, between this city and Dikeman, in thirty one hours travel, and this despite the fact that there was little snow and the party were compelled to build temporary bridges in places It Is the intention of Colonel Revelle to run the mail through on a twenty day schedule this year, which is four days better than the contract calls for.
 Mir Boyd will take out the first consgn. ment of mail for the Outside on Monday next After the first trip Mir. Cassidy will have charge of the mail on this end of the route.
 Mir. Boyd and Mir, Cassidy left on Wednes- day last for Moore creek to secure some double-ender sleds which had been cached there They will probably return today.
