 Thousands of amateur photograph CTS go daily with their kodaks and cameras to the homes of the Tom mics" to snap the home folks. The pictures are turned over to the Y. M c. A. where already 15,O00 soldiers have written to ask for a "snap" of biddies, mother or wife.
 Sometimes In the smaller cities and villages these amateurs set up free galleries" in their various gardens and tell the relatives of soldiers to come and be snapped. Within ten days the snap" is In the trenches.
 The league, according to advices will soon extend its activities to Can ada, Australia and New Zealand, where pictures of the colonial "Tommies' may be taken and sent to the various fronts. 1T

SABBATH OBSERVANCE.
Seattle P. I.)

The old view that the Sabbath Is properly a day for the punishment of the flesh, day for abstinence from the ordinary pleasures of life, of gloom and of renunciation, Is passing away and the brighter and more human side of Sabbath observance is being preached from the pulpit It is ar encouraging sign. and points to the nopularizing of religion and religious observance.
 Logically, 1t would seem that the promises of the Christian faith should induce joy rather than gloom. Looking back to the old Puritan days, It Is difficult to understand why liberty tc worship God in ones own way should have caused so much general melan choly end the cruicfixion of every ordinary human impulse. {.
 Sabbath observance fills both 2 spiritual and a physical need. It Is day, first, for the acknowledgement of the human obligation to the Make, of all things, and the Christian who precipitates gloom in the performance of this duty Is far from showing a spirit of appreciation and far from encouraging 1t In others. A sour. grim visage Is a deterrent and not an en- couragement to the religious life. One who has found God and has the prom ise of eternal life should be filled with the spirit of joy. But, with many people, religious observance seems to nave induced all the symptoms of dyspepsia
 The Sabbath. as a day of abstention from work, is also a physical need. It s grateful to the body and stores up energy for the duties of the week to come It Is difficult to believe that God frowns upon any innocent form of helpful recreation that may be in- 1ulged in on this day
 Gods religion was made for human beings, and It's progress has been oftan leterred through its dshumanizatlon by misguided individuals.
 There Is too much now In life's battle that Is hard and cruel and cold and gloomy Religion and religious ob. servances should be balm for all this. They should dispel gloom instead )f inviting It. Certainly there Is a mean between Puritanism and license that Is acceptable to God.

NOME, ALASKA, FEB. ?. 1916.

The suggestion of the Nome Seward Chamber of Commerce that all of the various Alaska chambers of commerce and other commercial bodies of the territory unite in the formation of one organization which shall have as 1t object the furtherance of the interest. of Alaska as a whole as we'll as those of the individual sections. is one that should meet with general approval a furnishing means for concerted ac- tion scarcely attainable in any othel way unless we wipe away the division lines which have become such factor in dividing the country against itself The absence of community interes- between the various sections of the territory has been by all odds the greatest deterrent to It's development
 This Is especially the case since tho country was first divided up into dis tricts. no two of which possessed tho same characteristics desires or inter ests. Before the division lines werc
 drawn Alaskans, generally. looked upon the territory in much the same light as the citizens of the varlous divisions of the union look upon thei' state-with a feeling of pride In the greatness and broadness of 1t and the marvellous wealth that 1t contained he!, interest was in no degree what may be termed sectional" interest was oorllned to no particular area or part, hut embraced the territory as a whole. Not alone did this result In Q far more generous spirit among the older settlers than exists at present but also drew them together In 8 closer fellowship of aspirations an6 desires and enabled them to work for tte common veal far more effec
 lively than Is possible in this day O sectional lines and interests Alasko has become divided against Itself an6 there ls neither mutual help, mutua' desire or interest at the present time About the only thing upon which the citizens of the territory seem to agret at the present time Is that they have a most magnificent country and one tha Is entitled to far greater amount o' consideration from the national gov ernrlcrt than 1t Is receiving. Asldo from thls and the mutual inclination to boast of It's resources. there Is little inclination to do or say anythin~ for the benefit of the whole territory Sectionalism is rife and Is really th' great curse of Alaska. One distric' has absolutely no interest In the other district and cares little as tc what becomes of the others as lono as personal interests are achieved. Tn deed so sharply has this narrow al visional spirit become that the citizen of one section have been known tc deliberately work against the interests of another section. for no reason be yond the desire to gratify that splrl of petty provincial spite which exist between themselves and their neigh
 bors of the next division. The samo spirit of jealousy and spite exists be- tween the various communities. Juneau gazes with score at Valdez, Cordova or Seward and they each In turn despise the other; Fairbanks affects to look down upon the communities of the interior and looks with more or

The cumavon Chimney.

The longest and most curious of chimneys is that of the copper works in Cumavon, near Abevavon in Wales This chimney has been described os being two miles long. with a brook running through it.
 Some years ago much complaint was made of the Copper smoke" that came from the works, that means had to be made to abate the nuisance For long time the company was at it's wits end, but finally the ingenuity ot one of it's engineers solved the prob lem.
 The copper works lie at the foot oi @ steep mountain. The engineer built a f1ue or chimney running from the base to a height of about one hun dred feet above the summit of the mountain, and following its natura slope. The brick that lined the chtm ney, and that it was chiefly built of was burned close by.
 A small spring, emerging near tht mountain top, was turned into thi: curious chimney, and allowed to f1ov through almost it's entire length tc condense the smoke. Once a year tht chimney is swept out. and almost ton of precipitated copper is obtain ed
 The top of the chimney, it is said may be seen for a distance of betweef forty and fifty miles.

LETTERS TO UNCLE JED.
An Imaginary Trip to New York.

7
 Dear Uncle Jed: Perhaps you and the Wide-Awakes would like to hear about my trip to New. York.
 We took the ear for New London and raached the New London boat.
 We arrived in New York about II o'clock. As we entered the harbor we saw large buildings and the large tow CT of the Wooiworth building. We also saw the Statue of Liberty.
 The ship came to anchor under the Brooklyn bridge and we saw people walking above us, so far up they looked like pygmies.
 We then took a train to the Bronx where my aunt lives. ...s
 The next day we took a trip to Central Park and saw many kinds of animals. Among them were buffaloes deer, lions, tigers and tigresses, and many others.
 After that we took a trip to the aquarium and were surprised at what we saw-devil fish, seals, sea lions water snakes, and different kinds o1 fish from all over the world. The next day we went to the Hip podrome and also took a trip to China town.
 The next day we went to the Metro politan Museum of Fine Arts.
 The pleasures of the next two weeks would be too many to describe. We arrived home after delightful trip, but although we had enjoyed the visit, we were glad to get home. SARAH LYMAN, Age 12. Norwich.

A Turkey For One.

Lura's Uncle Roy was in Japan. He used to take Christmas dinner at Lura's home. Now he could only write here papa to say a box of gifts had been sent and one was for his little girl.
 Lura clapped her hands saying, "Oh, mamma, don't you think it is the chain and locket Uncle said he would sometime send me?" t'No,' re- piled her papa reading on, Your uncle says it is a turkey for one"
 ''We don't need turkeys from Japan,'' remarked Lura.
 Her papa smiled and handed the open letter to her mamma.
 On Christmas eve the box had just arrived and was opened, and every ore was made glad with a present Lura's was a papiermache turkey nearly as large as the one brought by the market boy at the same moment Lura had not spoken of jewelry since her uncle's 1ettec was read. When dinner was nearly over or Christmas day. her papa said\to her: My dear, you have had as much of my turkey as you wanted. I will now try some of yours.''
 Mine is what Uncle Roy calls a turkey for one.'' laughed Lura. She turned in her chair towards where the bird had been strutting on the win dow sill and added in surprise:
 'Why. what has become of him?''
 At that moment the servant brought in huge platter. When room had been made for it on the table it was set dcwn in front of Lura's papa and on the dish was her turkey A hid. den spring was touched with the poin1 of the knife, the breast opened. an6 the fowl was found to be filled witt choice toys and other things. The first thing out was a tiny box and inside this was a gold chain anc locket.

The Mole Cricket.

What can this hideous creature be with his velvety, crab-lilke chest, and with wing-covers like the beetle? Just look at its forefeet. How strong they are, and how exactly they seem like
 great hands ready to tear into pieces
 whatever comes within their reachi
 Its wings are broad, but when they
 are folded, they resemble ribbons, as
 they hang below the wing covers. The mole cricket is about two inches long, and is of a dark brown color. It
 lives in a sandy soil, and builds it's nest under ground. When winter Is
 coming, it removes it's nest to a great
 depth, to prevent injury through frosts
 and when the warm springtime comes it raises the nest again. The female mole cricket builds her nest Of clay, and of the size and shape of hens egg. After her cosey home is completed, she makes galleries and winding avenues, and even little forts around it. Then she digs a ditch around all these, so that other insects cannot trouble her nest Often there are found one hundred and fifty eggs in one of these nests The baby mole cricket looks like a black ant, and is not supposed to be
 when the crickets are ''grown-up" they
 are very strong. They have been known to push weight of six pounds on a level surface.
 what QOeS It eat, QO you ask? It lives on smaller insects and worms. It
 used to be thought that it ate nothing besides roots but this was a mistake They destroy the tender roots of plants, as they go out on their explor- ing tours, or are following out the earth for nests.
 This is a very wise and fierce in- sect, too. Let us imagine ourselves

 see one part of the mole cricket try

 part of itself.
 The male insect ehirps a note of a low, jarring sound at evening and during the night.
 But although these are such fierce looking creatures they are really very
 timid, and at the least noise or shak- ing of the earth about them, or sound of footsteps, run quickly to their un-

A Beavers Working Day.

A young beaver in Regents Park gardens, London, was once placed at work upon a tree twelve feet long and two feet, six inches thick, just as the town clocks sounded the hour of noon.
 The beaver began by barking the tree a foot above ground. That done, he attacked the wood. He worked hard, alternating his labor with dips in his bathing pond. He bathed and labored alternately until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, when he ate his supper of bread and carrots and padded about in his pond until half past five.
 Ten minutes later, when only one inch of the trees diameter remained uncut, he bore upon his work and the tree fell.
 Before it fell the beaver ran as men run when they have fired a blast.
 Then, as the tree lay on the ground, he portioned 1t out mentally and began to gnaw. He worked at intervals all night; cut the log into three parts, rolled two of the portions into the water and reserved the other third for permanent shelter.
 The work done, he took a bath.
 While reading this story, I found it very interesting, and hope the rest of the Wide-Awakes will also.
