These things took less than a month.
 During July and August the nvas- ion of Austrian territory continued. Extensive inroads on enemy soil were made, especially in the Casso and Trentino. By October the Isonzo front was bIood-soaked The fighting about GOrizia, the key to Trieste, grew heavy early this year. March and April crowned the Italian orfen- sive with the capture of Col di Lana. The Austriaus in May delivered their first lig offensive. A fierce onslaught was made on Nonfalcone which felL but later was retakeu.
 Meanwhile on a Grty-mile front in the ,rentiuo 100000 Austriaus and immense quantities of ammunition were concentrated. Then came the tremendous attempt to open the way to yeucua. Thousands of Italians were moved down. For the first time in tbe war the enemy set foot on Itai- ian soil and about 900 square kilo- .y,crs of territory was occupied. It was mountainous country dotted with Alpine hamlets. The Italians still held about 4.OOO square kilometers of enemy soil, including the fertile plains Of lIoufaJcone and important villages.
 The Italians then began to push back the enemy, slow up-hiu work. Meanwhile General Brusau was open
 charged with responsibility for the Austrian invasion and deprived of his command for neglect of duty" This invasion cost the Italians 10000 in prisoners and almost as many m killed and wounded. Austrian losses were heavy too. The initiation of the Russian offensive in early June rc'iev- ed thc pressure of the Italian front.
 By then, Italy's army had grown to almost 4,0OO.OOO men amt plans for adding a million more were made. The Italian campaign has taken a tremendous toll in dead and wounded because in tegimtng Victor's forces were pisposed in wfortifed valleys while the Alsujans were strongly en- reucbej on the overlooking mount ains. Uphill fighting had to be wag- ed for many months before it was capitalized.
 The AIpiuists have been Che heroes of Iyay's war. Their catlike agility is marvellous. They have been forced oc,euHmes to climb sheer walls of mountains, pulling up men and can- non behind them to begin the slow process of fertilization. Trenches had to be tanueIcd in the rock or beawn in solid ice. Moving glaciers and ayalaucbcs added to the dangers as also djj heavy snows and bitter cold. Alpine warfare developed many innovations in military science. Like giants throwing huge snowballs, one army hurled avalanches at the other Mountain hamlets and hundreds of combatauts and non-combatants were wiped out by this picturesque arm Of war.

TIMBER WOLV YES
 TERRORlZlNG IN
 kATALL8 REGION
Serious Menace Is Also Reported to Reindeer Herds in the
 KuSkokWim.

SEATTLE, Nov. 19.--Much to the annoyance of the inhabitants. both white and native, large pack of timber wolves. driven north by the bounty hunters Of Southeastern Alas ka, has put in its appearance at Katalla, where, according to dis patch received in Seattle last night they are making life disagreeable for everybody concerned, says the Times.
 A number of bounty hunters will start out today to try and clean up the band. but will probably only sue ceed in driving them off, It is fear. ed that because of the heavy snows, the wolves will not attempt to cross the coast range to the caribou coun- try. north of the Yukon and on the Mackenzie River delta, but will con tinue northward along the coast un- til they strike the domesticated rein deer herds on the Kuskokwim and along the shores of Boring Sea.
 Serious Menace to Reindeer If the wolves once get into the reindeer country the herders doubt less will suffer considerable loss. The reindeer herds are valued at more than S2.OOO.OOO and a few packs of wolves soon would wipe them out.
 The wolves circlcd Katalla not three blocks from che main street and make the night hideous with their howls; they have footed every chicken house in the camp and sev- eral dogs have been rounded up and killed by the invaders.
 Mrs. Charles Nadghton, going to her woodpne yesterday afternoon, en- countered a big timber wolf in the yard. She drove the animal off with a club.
 The Indians say they have no tra- ditions of a visitation of this kind. They never have heard Of such a thing. and like the white people. who escort their children to school under arms, the natives are applying safety first" principles An Indian funeral was held yesterday afternoon. The cemetery is about a mile from town. and each of the large crowd of mourners who attended, carried either a rifle of shotgun in the pro- cession.

ARE
 NEW CREATIONS
 FOR THE WOMEN

CHICAGO Nov. 28.-No hothouse of gay blooms could have furnished a more brilliant displly than was seen here at the conference on ad- vance spring styles, which was the opening feature Of the fifteenth an- nual convention of the National Suit, Cloak and Skirt Manufacturers As soclatlon.
 Huge shirred and pleated pockets, long trails of silken fringe, loose stitching, yariegated embroidery and large buttons form some of the trim. mings which were shown. One of the startling suits was a sports gar ment of green wool jersey, trimmed in deep cream jersey. Another suit of brown taffeta, the color of young spring saplings, was made to suggest an opening leaf with lapels, coat, skirt and suffs finished in points.
 Color combinations that ranged from magneta trimmed in orange to plalds of the most vivid yellows and greens, made the gowns, as they were worn by the pretty models, sug- sest an Oriental bazaar.
 "The cut Of the garments is to be long and straight. rather than frilly and voluminous as during this sea- son." declared M. A. Black, chair man of the style committee. "The skirts are to be heightened to the ankle, and the trimmings will be placed to emphasize the lines of gar ments."

Two Treasure Ships on Alaska Routes Have Carried Millions
 of Bullion.
NEW RICHES OF NORTH
AntimOny, Tin and FurS Among Shipments of Wealth Transported
 During the Year.

Six million dollars worth Of gold bullion. a million a month from the properties back of Nome worked by powerful corporations with unlimited capital and from the claims of hardy miners far up the Yukon. in the Iditarod. the Tanana Valley, at Ruby and along the Koyukuk, still further increasing the value of Seattlo's tre mendous overseas, brought from the Far North by the steamships Victor la and Umatilla during the Boring Sea season of navigation just clos ing. says last Sundays Seattle Times.
 This announcement yesterday caus- ed mining men and shipping men to reassert that Alaska's rich days are not ended and that Seattle still is "The Gold Port"
 And to these valuable shipments of the yellow metal in gold bars, gold dust and nuggets must be added large consignments of furs, tin ore and anthony brought by the vessels from Nome and St. Michael
 Completing their last voyages to the Far North, the Victoria ana Una tilla are exrected to reach Seattle early tomorrow morning, bringing gold bullion, furs and ores and to. tai of $50 passengers. The Victoria is due shortly before 1 a. m. and the Umatilla at a. m.
 Made Six Voyages Each
 Six voyages from Seattle to Der ing Sea have been made by each Of the vessels and Seattle shipping men yesterday estimated that the gold bullion shipped from ;he Far North would be S5OO,OOO to the voyage, although more than million worth of treasure was brought by each of the liners on two trips from Nome and St. Michael early in the sum- mer.
 The Uma;illa, Capt. J. E. Guptr, sailed from Seattle on her first yoy- age of the year to Nome and St. Michael June 1st, and the steamer Victoria, Capt. John A. O'Brien, be. gan her first voyage of the year to Boring Sea on June 2
 An interesting feature of the-Far North season Of navigation just end ed is the fact that both liners. as a result of heavy weather in Boring Sea, sailed from Nome the latest in the history of service to the port by big passenger carriers steaming through a field of slush ice which during the gale was piled ten feet high on the beach
 The Victoria, following her arrival in Seattle, will probably be placed for one voyage in the Prince Will liam Sound copper ore trade, but this has not been definitely decided upon by the officials of the Alaska Company.
 The Umatilla is to be operated on the Seattle-Ssn Francisco route as a freight and passenger carrier in connection with the steamship Queen of the Pacific Steamship Company.

DRAWING A STAR.
Trying II This Way 10 Said to Be as
Funny as a Circus.


When your party is not making prog
ress enough to suit you try the follow
ing on them: Take large sheet of
plain paper and draw five or six
pointed star on it. Have the star
about ten inches wide from point to
point. Then draw another star on the
outside of the first one, SO that space
of about half an inch is left between
the two stars all the way around.
Then provide yourself with hand
mirror and book. Place the paper
fat on the table. Put the book end up
on the side of the paper nearest you.
Take the mirror and place it on the
opposite end of the paper. Then look
ing into the mirror you should be able
to see the whole star. Having pro
vided yourself with pencil, fix 1t on
spot inside the two lines of the star
and proceed to draw another star on
the inside the two lines by looking
only at the star through the mirror.
The book is simply used to prevent
your eyes dropping down to the draw
ing itself. II your pencil goes outside
the lines or inside you have lost your
turn -
Try 1t out and see what you can do.
Some say it can be done, and others
say 1t can't, but whether it can or
can't has little to do with it; it viii fur
nish enough amusement to keep a
crowd convulsed for an hour-Cleve-

canoes and Glaciers.
Iceland is known as a "land of con-
trasts.' The land of Iceland boasts in
ice, volcanoes. glaciers and geysers-
There is magnificent scenery In its
desolate plateaus. It has more than
100 volcanoes. of which the largest is
Hecla, 800 feet high. There are thou
sands Of craters in Iceland, the chief
among them being Askya. with an area
of thirty-four square miles.
OF glaciers there are more than 30,
with aggregate areas of about $500
square. miles. The largest is Vatna.
Not far from Hecla Is the so called
geyser region, where there are many
hot springs. The Great Geyser is six
ty feet In diameter. One geyser was
found to have water at temperature
Of 262 degrees f., which makes 1t pos.
sibly the hottest spring in the world.
One-eighth OF Iceland is glacier hid
den, and there are ice clad mouptain
domes, of which the highest is Oraeta-
jokull, 6.424 feet
There are not many settlements in
Iceland. The capital is Reykjavik
with population of 11.6O0. and after
that the two chief towns are Akureyi
2,OS9. and Isafiord, 1859 inhabitants.
The people OF Iceland are described as
unusually intelligent, and one author
ity states that perhaps in no other
country of Europe are so many books
In proportion to the population printed
and sold as In Iceland .

MARK TWAIN AS A LECTURER.
The Story of His First Appearance
Upon the Platform.

The story Of Mark Twain's first great
public lecture Is told in Albert Bige-
low Paine's Boys Life" of the hu-
morist in St Nicholas 1t had been
suggested that he should lecture on
the Sandwich Islands, where he had
been spending some weeks as a news
paper correspondent, and one of his
San Francisco friends urged him to
hire the largest hall In the city and
charge a dollar a ticket.
without waiting until his fright
came back" writes Mr.. Paine, Mark
Twain hurried to the manager Of the
Academy of Music and engaged 1t for
lecture to be given Oct. 2. 1866, and
sat down and wrote his announce
ment- He began by stating what he
would speak upon and ended with a
few absurdities such as:
A SPLENDID ORCHESTRA
Is In Town, but Has Not Been Engaged
A DEN OF FEROCIOUS WILD BEASTS
WIN Be on Exhibition In the Next Block
A GRAND TORCHLIGHT PROCESSION
May Be Expected; In Fact the Public
Are Privileged to Expect Whatever
They Please.

MARX Twain was well known In
San Francisco and was pretty sure to
have good house. But he did not
realize this. and as the evening ap-
preached his dread Of failure increas-
ed. Arriving at the theater. he en-
tered by the stage door. half expecting
to find the place empty. Then sudden
~ he became more frightened than
ever. Peering from the wings, he saw
that the house was jammed packed
from. the footlights to the walls. Ter
rified, his knees shaking, his tongue
dry, he managed to emerge and was
greeted with a roar, a crash of APP
pIause that nearly finished him. Only
for an instant = reaction followed.
These people We're his friends, and he
was talking to them. He forgot to be
afraid, and as the applause came In
great pillows that rose ever higher be
felt himself borne with 1t as on tide
OF happiness and success. His, even
/ ing from beginning to end was a COM
plete triumph. Friends declared that
for descriptive eloquence, hunnor and
real entertainment nothing like his adj
dress had ever been delivered"
