Napoleon the Great the almost human ape. This remarkable simeon is nine years old. has played on every vaudeville stage in America of any pretense and before the rulers of almost every country on the globe This ape, which was born without a tail, is so near human that he is the ninth wonder of the world. He lives almost as cleverly as the fastiduous man of the club He wears his clothes with care. eats with splendid table manners, keeps himself neat and clean and hates dirt as no nine year-old boy ever hated it. Napoleon is a wonder and will be a delight to thousands here who have never seen him and who have heard of his wonderful performances on the vaudeville circuits.

STRANGE SHEEP SHOT
 IN THE PEEL COUNTRY,

Dawson News: A number of Peel River indians arrived yesterday and brought in a large quantity of noun tain sheep and caribou on toboggans drawn by dogs. Among the sheep is one speciman which is the most un- ique ever seen here. It is exceedingly large and has a dark back, exactly like that of caribou. The other parts are of the customary white. Nearly everyone on first avenue yesterday who went up to see what the Indians had brought in thought at first on looking at the big u.ack mountain sheep that it was a caribou. The head was obscured from the quarter from which the people approached as though it had been cut off. But when the spectator stepped to the front he quickly discerned the usual large sheep head and the massive horns. The big sheep was killed and brought in by John Martin, we'll known member of the Peel River Indian tribe. It was shot near the head of Hart river, a tributary of the Peel.

SPEED OF PROJEcTILES.
How the xei,seity of Cannon Balls and
 BuIlSts is Measured.

How the xei,eity of Cannon Balls and
 Bullets Is Measured.
 How fast does u bullet travel? The highest velocity ever given to cannon ball is 1.G26 feet per second. This is equal to mile in little more than three seconds. or nearly twenty miles minute.
 A rifle bullet does not travel so fast as cannon ball. the average rate be- ing 1.215 feet pele second. This mat ter of speed is tested in a very inter- esting way.
 A long wooden shediis used. in which a distance of exactly 100 feet has been carefully marked off. At each end of this space is a stand something like a target with large circular opening where the bullseye should be. Across each opening Is stretched small cleo tric wire. connected with a delicate instrument in another room.
 The rife from which the firing is done is so aimed that the bullet which flies from 1t cuts both wires. Obvious ly the difference in time between the cutting of the two wires marks the speed of the bullet through that 100 feet.
 When the first wire is cut an electric current is broken and rod falls. mov- ing pointer on slide in it's descent The breaking of the second wire acts in the same manner on another set of rods. slides and pointers.
 The difference in the marks made by the pointers on the slides makes it pos sible to estimate the difference in their time of falling. and from these calcu. lations accurate figures as to speed are obtained.-London Answers.

4 STALE CONGRESS.

All of the representatives and one' third of the senators who assembled at Washington on Monday were se- lected a little more than thirteen months ago. They were nominated for office perhaps fifteen or sixteen months ago, and their "booms" were. started before war had broken out in Europe. Only an antiquarian knows what the issues were when these men were put into office. Whatever the issues were they are not the issues about which these men will legislate. The net result is that our represents tives come with mandate from the people approximately as direct as that of Rip Van Wrinkle when he emerged from the Katskills. They are to make laws for condition of affairs which was hardly imagined when they were chosen. They emerge from the Sleepy Hollow of American isolation.-The New Republic.

CANADA PLANS FLEET
 OF 20 LUMBER VESSELS

WASHINGTON: Government aid for the Canadian coast lumber indus try is planned in a bill to be intro duced in the next British Columbian parliament providing for construction of a great fleet of lumber carrying ships. The bill will have government support, it is reported.
 The measure would provide bond issue for building 20 vessels of 2000 tons each, carrying 100000 feet of lumber each. Such a fleet would more than triple export facilities for Canadian Pacific lumber men. The Canadian government already put an agent in London, the commerce bu- reau was informed, to aid in market ing the expected increase in Canadian London shipments.

MYSTERY OF THE PLAGUE.
How and Why Did It Disappear From
 England In 1867?

England In 1867?
 Why did the plague disappear from England? Mir. Bernard Shaw incl. question in letter to the Nation. and we cannot say that we are satisfied with his answer. He says he "knows" that plague has been "extirpated" by common sanitation"
 Until the recent sporadic imported cases. the last recorded cases of plague in England occurred at Nottingham in 1867. In that year plague vanished ut terly from England for two and a half centuries. No one who has examined the records of the seventeenth century can believe that it was "extirpated" by sanitation. Very gradually in the suc- ceeding century aud a half plague withdrew from Europe also.
 The date of its disappearance from Constantinople has been fixed at about the year 1s41. It remained endemic only in few lonely places in the world. such as the highlands of west ern Arabia. Yunnan in China and Mes- opotamia. Sanitation. though an ex- cellent palliative. certainly never drove the plague from Stamboul and Cairo and the southern Mediterranean, any more than it did from England.
 The shrinkage of plague is as great a mystery as the recent outburst which infected the whole world. Perhaps the explanation is that in few years bac- teria may go through the myriad trans forming processes of evolution which in the case of humanity take cons to complete.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Communicated.

Editor Prospector: You stru k it
 right in guessing that if the Forty Ninth Starter helped Valentine or anybody save $50,000 to Jureau-it
 might have been by staying away. Valentine was mayor of Junea from April, 1908, until April, 1912. Hon
 est John left Juneau for Cordova ill
 the early summer of 1908. It is not likely that he even supported Valen- tine for mayor because he was work ing at the time on the editorial staff ot the Juneau Record. the Eogsatt organ of Juneau.
 Not more than two months after Valentines first election the Foggatt Shackleford crowd wished Honest John on the townsite people of Cor
 dova. He ran the Alaskan fir them
 for a year and whooped up the am- bient air for the Guggenheims an all things Guggy. Meanwhile ho was soaking up the gross receipts of the paper and letting the stockholders pay the bills Wherefore they fired him out. For particulars ask T. J Donohoe and his associates. Then he got a shirt-tail full of type ard 'an the Cordova Truth" as ref orrn ot- gan until it perished under a load of debt, like every business venture Hon. est John has tangled up with, for So many years that the memory of nan |runneth not to the contrary.
 In 1911 the Perpetual Starter came to Valdez, where his record is so widely known that everybody can smell it. In all the years since then
 he has had no connection with Valen- tine at Juneau. b1t he may have teen a great help to Valentine and the cap- ital city by staying so far away, as you suggest.
 He didn't have time to help Ju- neau because he was too busy stick ing the Va,dez Miner stockholders and creo.-..s ,3700 in few months. It took nlln longer to soak sundry misguided politicians 5000 or so on the Commoner because that sheet was less expensive and pretentious acd the suckers were not biting so avif'y as in the days when the Miner bou.- geoned and withered like Jonah's gourd.
