IS WORLDS RAREST PLANT
This Is the Silversword, Which Grows
In Profusion on Hawaiian
Volcano Slopes.

The rarest plant in the world grows
in Hawaii, fact which is unknown to
all but very few of the thousands OF
tourists annually visiting the paradise
of the Pacific. 1t is the silversword.
It's very name is odd and unusual, at
once arousing the curiosity and the in
terest of the stranger who chances to
hear it. 1t is a cactuslike growth, the
long, silky, gray leaves of which give ii
its peculiar name. The reason for its
rarity is that it is found only on the
most inaccessible slopes of the vol
canoes of this group of islands.
From the earliest times it has been
appreciated and greatly admired by
the native Hawaiians, who called it
"ahinahina" (gray-headed), because
they had never, before the coming OF
the white man, seen silver, and there
fore could not apply to the plant the
cognomen which SO we'll describes it.
All who have found it prize it more
jealously than do Alpine climbers
treasure the edelweiss; it is far more
beautiful a thing and more difficult to
obtain than the famous flower OF Swift

AVERAGE American Unfamiliar With
the characteristics Of the Great
Alaskan Waterway.

The Yukon means so much rs wa
terway to Alaska that report by the
United States geological survey on ITS
discharge at Eagle and on some OF the
great rivers characteristics have eSpe-
cial interest. The Yukon is the fifth
river in size in North America IL
drains an area of 100000 square miles
and it's length, including the Lewe5
and Teslin rivers, is 200 miles. The
Mississippi Missouri rivers are 5000
miles long; the Mackenzie, 2,S6S; Coi-
orado-Green, 1900, and Ohio-Allegheny
1900.
The discharge of the Yukon varies
from a maximum of 254,000 cubic fee
a second to 10,1OO cubic feet, average
of 73,2O0. This discharge is relatively
small compared with the average flow
of the Mississippi. $4,000; Ohio, S0O,-
900, and Colorado, 23,SO0. The Nile.
with a drainage area OF 1,262,O0o
square miles has an average flow o'
1l6,000 cubic feet second.
The comparatively small HOW III re-
lation to it's drainage area is attrib-
uted to the fact that the interior o:
Alaska has the small rainfall charac-
teristic of that portion Of the United
States that lies between the Rocky
mountains and the Sierra Nevada
north of the latitude Of Salt l-ake
City. ~
The Yukon means so much to
Alaska and the territory means So
much to the United States in gold
production and in other latent mineral
and other development that the lack
of general knowledge regarding its
characteristic must be surprising to
the sojourner in this country who
comes from its banks.-New York
