Important Alaskan Product.

The potato is Alaska's most impor- tant crop, and, according to com merce report, it is a most profitable one. Potatoes have been grown in commercial quantities at the Fair banks station for several years. The object of growing them there was to demonstrate that good potatoes could be grown in the interior, and the re- port says that the farmers in the vicinity have taken the hint. Nearly all of them now devote considerable acreage to this vegetable. One farmer estimated his crop as high as fifty tons, which, at 4 cents pound, or $50 ton, the lowest price at which pota- toes have been sold in Alaska up to the present time, would bring him $4,000. Hog raising has also been started at Fairbanks, the hogs being fed on the unmerchantable potatoes.

SEE PORTENTS IN THE STARS
Enthusiastic Frenchmen Profess to View Promises of Victory in
 Heavenly "Omens."

Patriotic enthusiasm, now at high pitch in France, has been seeing in the heavens things which it likes to regard as symbolical of French vic tory in the war. The most talked of omen" has been a tricolored star seen over the western horizon last au- tumn and over the eastern during the winter. Prosaic astronomers have un- kindly identified this marvellous star with Venus, which, like any other heavenly body, shows the spectral colors when 1t is near the horizon. It Is remarkable how often Venus has been taken for something that 1t is not. One would think that no civi- lized human being could arrive at years of discretion without becoming well acquainted with that lovely planet under her own name, yet her brilliant light in the evening or morning sky Is forever starting some wild rumor In 1797-also time of patriotic fer vor-Venus was hailed in France as the star of Napoleon. In recent years she has most frequently been taken for the light of spying Zeppelin or aero plane. It may be added that in some parts of France the "tricolor" star of the last few months was not Venus, but Sirius.

Monkey Died Like a Man.

The death of Bill Snyder, the ba- boon of the Central park zoo, from acute indigestion, is chronicled in the days news. Bill was not one of the higher order of the monkey family; his kinship to the human race, if he had any, was remote. Yet surely in the manner of his death he displayed a simian resemblance to man.
 He died as hundreds of thousands of beings higher in the scale of evolution die, as countless numbers of our best citizens" die-from overeating. He was as reckless in the indulgence of his appetite for food as the most cul- tivated member of the human family, and if the circumstances of his death excite surprise, it is that his natural instincts did not preserve him from the fate of the most intelligent hu- man beings.
 Bills death points a dietetic moral for monkeys that exchange the nuts and roots of the jungle for the richer food of zoo captivity and idleness. The application of the moral to man. kind need not be considered. A vastly greater number of men die from over. eating than from starvation, and the death of humble simian in the cir. cumstances from this characteristic cally human ailment, may serve to emphasize the fact.-New York World.

"RoundIna Up" Students.

Ingenuity of college students in writing badly after they have passed off, the required freshman or sopho- more course in composition is extra ordinary. Perhaps 1t is reassertion of native inaptness, perhaps it is sheer carelessness. But the remedy to be adopted at Harvard, after special study of the problem, is patent one. A standing faculty committee is to be appointed, and Instructors in all courses will be urged to send to the committee any examination book, the sis or other piece of work which has demonstrated the writer's inability to express his thought" The committee will thereupon prescribe additional work in English for the delinquent students. The very warning should end mere slovenliness, and those whose fault lies deeper should be grateful for the discipline.-New York Evening Post.

REAL ESSENCE OF HUMOR
Posite or Dissonant Are the Most laughabfe.

It is well known that the essence of humor is incongruity, the conjunction of things that are opposite or dis sonant-as the mingling of manliness and gullibility in Fielding's "Parson Adams" of honesty and knavery in "Gil Blas," or of shrewdness and stu pidity in Sancho Panza.
 The most laughable of incongrui- ties is that which arises from the clash of dignity and meanness, emil hence and vulgarity, the solemn and the comic. The sense of the comic Is sometimes enhanced by suffering.
 When the soul is filled with gloom, @ ludicrous incident becomes the more ludicrous by contrast. An English man who poisoned himself by mis- take told one of his friends that when suffering agonies he was deeply con- scious of the grimly ludicrous aspects under which one circumstance sue. ceeded another.
 The exquisite irony of the contrast between his own internal sensations and the sunny indifference ar stolid surprise of all around him, nile he was in galloping haste t escape death, made an impression upon him which rose above the pain-as, for in- stance, when his porter asked for leave to change his shoes before he went for the doctor

VIII Work AsphaIt Mines.

The enormous deposit of asphalt of Leyte province, in the Philippines, is now to be worked for the eastern market by local company. This al- most inexhaustible deposit lies so near the shore line at Tacloban that ships can anchor and take on cargoes of asphalt from lighters loaded at the mines with practically no overland transportation. There is large and growing demand in the islands for paving asphalt and all the cities of the far East are now in a position to offer a market.
