Wealth in Alaskan Waters.

When Alaska was purchased for only
81, OO),NOO. no one thought of; its pros
pective value as q source of food prod.
ucts, Providence Journal man states.
Alaska now is regarded as the coming
center of the fish supply of the world.
A writer familiar with the great terri.
tory says:
"The sea beats upon 10000 miles Of
Alaska shore line. Il distance greater
than the circumference of the earth.
All of that vast stretch Of waters is
teeming with the most edible fish on
earth. Every bay is harbOr where
these fish can be prepared for the mar.
kets of the world. and the greatest
ships afloat can anchor in safety while
taking on their cargOes."
The food wealth is no less important
than the mineral wealth of Alaska, for
the demand for fOOdstuffs Of all de-
scriptiOns Is increasing and prices are
advancing. The tapping of new sources
o6 supply Is most desirable.

Did You Ever Notice These
Strange Traits Exhibited by
Many Animals and Insects?

There are great many strange
facts about animals and insects that
seem to defy explanation. Here are
q few, an exchange says:
A fly will crawl to the top of a win.
dow pane. fly back to the bottom and
crawl up again. Hardly ever does it
fly up and crawl down. 1t has been
known to repeat this former act over
80 times before stopping.
Hens always scratch for food with
the sun behind them. A blind hen al.
ways manages to get the sun behind
her when scratching. and she will miss
but few bits of food.
Cats hardly ever lie with their feet
to the fire. In most cases they lie in
stead with their left side to it. Dogs
invariably lie with outstretched paws
to the fire.
A mouse overlooks a perfectly safe
food supply, sufficient for meal or
two. to enjoy the perilOus pleasures Of
an unlimited store. 1t will hide near
the food and come out to nibble when
hungry, for 1t Is not true that q mouse
will seek its hole ut the first alarm.
II q small snake is kept in captivity
and fed and cared for it will become
tame, and after few months crawl to
its oaptor for food when approached.
This is true especially of the small
und harmless varieties.

Mosquitoes Don't Like Yellow.

People who wish to avoid the bite of
the mosquito should wear yellow. OF
all colors the mosquito is most partial
to red, especially deep blood-red, al
though the fact has nothing to do with
its fondness for blood. For yellow it
shows the deepest aversion and shuns
1t on all occasions. 1t is said that the
seeing power of the mosquito is so
keen that it is susceptible to color even
In the ordinary darkness Of night ;
hence night dresses or bed coverings
of yellow color will aid in keeping
mosquitoes at respectable distance.
