NATIVES ARE FEEDING
 UPON OUR TURKEYS.

BELLA BELLA.-The natives are having a great feast on Thanksgiving turkeys consigned to Juneau and Skagway mostly on the wrecked Mariposa.
 When the ship began pounding on the swells the turkeys were released and flew ashore.
 The natives turned out in force and hunted the birds as rapidly as they landed and proceeded to have a great feast.
 It is believed that the Canadian wrecking vessel will be able to save a good portion of the Mariposa's car go.
 Most of the Alaskan merchants have duplicated their orders for goods on the Mariposa by telegraph. Dispatch.

PECULIAR OCCUPATIONS.
Those of the Bacteriologist, Anthro.
 poIogist and Plant Doctor.


 What man leads the most peculiar modern life? The question is not an easy one to answer offhand. but it is doubtful if any one spends his days in more strange manner than the bac- teriologist st. Day after day, week after week, year after year he works in the laboratory, into which only the privi- legged may enter, studying the microbes of disease. He may not open the win dow lest he infect the whole, neigh borhood with typhoid or diphtheria, or any other diseases with which he is at "lose quarters all day. He encourages bacteria to multiply, and then through microscope. or sometimes with the naked eye, he watches how they spend their time, in order that he may con- bat their deadly influence.
 While the bacteriologist looks for ward. the anthropologist looks back ward. He is the man who dashes of to any place when he hears a deep excavation is being made. and hopes always that he will find skeleton. and especially skull. for he is never so happy as when he unearths human relics going back centuries.
 The plant doctor is akin to the bac- teriologist, for, like the latter. he spends much of his time in the laboratory, not studying the enemies of the human world, but the enemies of the plant world. and he is very proud when after diagnosing and treating the vari- ous ailments of flowers. he runs across. say. the enemy of rose. and finds how it may be kept from doing harm London Tit Bits.

Storks In Holland.

Nowhere else in the world does the stork stand in higher regard than among the people of western Holland. Nothing Is regarded as more indica- tive of good fortune to come than for pair of storks to build their nest in the chimney of n humble cottage. How ever humble that cottage may be, the occupants feel that the stork's nest promises many blessings in the future The farmers erect long poles with a box at the top in their fields, feeling that if the birds build their nests there both the quality and the quantity of their crops are assured.

 ; Pound Explosive Charge. '. High, power bro1ectiles are construct; ed with cavities iii their centers which contain the explosive charge, the ex- plosive carried varying with the size of the projectile X twelve inch shell, weighing S7O pounds. carries about thirty pounds of explosive. The cavity of such a projectile is about seven inches in diameter at the base, and gradually tapers in size toward the point After the, charge is placed in. the projectile plug is screwed into the base, thus sealing up the explosive. and a fuse is inserted in the center of the plug extending into the explo- sive within the cavity.
 The fuse. without which the explo- sive is harmless. depends upon the high rotary motion of the shell to be- come active. This rotary motion is imparted by the rifling of the gun. In tie smooth surface of the tube are cut the rifiing grooves of width of about onc-eigllth inch.
 Round the shell., near its base. ia groove cut for the purpose. is com pressed what is known as the rotat- ing band, This band projects above the surface of the shell and core spends with the rifiing grooves. so that upon its discharge it is forced into the rifling. where it acts as. 8. seal to prevent the escape of the gas formed by the exploding powder and gives the shell the required rotary motion. which keeps 1t on its true course with its point always in di- rect line ahead.-London Tit Bits
