zation, and later defeat the sprawling colossus of two continents: he saw the
 most absolute despotisms - Russia and Turkey and Persia concede representation to the people: he saw at distance the United States ce. ment its federation with the blood of a great internecine war, and he saw his own brother prove that monarchy could not take new root on American soil.
 In his own country he faced internal dissensions and external aggressions from the moment he came to the throne. By the war Of 1859 with France and Sardinia, he was forced to cede Lombardy to Italy: by force of arms and treaty he lost the duchy of Hoistein to Prussia and Venice to Italy; and by the revolt of Kossuth. the Hungarian patriot, he barely es- capped having his dual empire cut In two.
 But in human interest his personal sorrows overshadowed all. One after another they came upon him. In 1853 the list of tragic incidents began with an attempt upon his own life. In 1867 his brother, the Archduke Miximilian. after three years experiment as em- peror of Mexico was captured by the army of the patriots and condemned to death by a court martial whose sen. tence was executed notwithstanding intercession in his behalf by the gov ernments of the United States, Eng. land and Prussia.
 There followed the burning to death Of niece In Vienna; & sister met a similar fate in Paris, and a cousin drowned himself in Stahrenberg lake. Yet these were but minor tragedies in with that which befell the ancient house of the Hapsburgs in 1889, when Rudolf, the imperial prince upon whom the Austrians pinned their hopes, met death in a mystery which to this day is not cleared.

ling. There have been . dozen yer
 sions of what occurred. One true
 story" relates that the crown prince was struck dead by BsltAzzi, a Hun
 garian chevalier who loved the Baron
 ess Marie Yetsers, and who was fren zied by finding the girl and Prince Rudolf together in the castle of Mey erling after the crown prince had giv. en his pledge to see the girl no more. Another, that the crown princs killed the uncle of the young bAroneas when he came to rescue her ana that both of the young lovers afterwara sem;

 Clouded in still deeper mystery. if possible, was the disappearance that same year of Francis Joseph's favor. tte nephew. the Archduke Johann Sal yator. Heir to the throne at the death of Rudolf, he renounced ali his ttn. perial dignities and fled the country as John Orth, captain of . merchant ship, never to be heard of again. The next of kin. the Archduke Francis Fer iinand, who became heir presumptive added a further burden to his uncies heart by a morganatic marriage to Sophie, the countess of Chotek. It was he and his wife who were assas- sinated at Sarejeyo tn Jane, 1914.
 But 1t Ia doubtful if any or all of these reverses weighed more heavily lpon the emperor's heart than the
 ragedy of Geneva, when the Empress Elizabeth, who had been called the most beautiful woman in Europe, was stabbed to death by sn Italian ausr. chist in 1898.

KOYUkUk REGION DESCRIBED BY
 BIOLOGISTS

That part of central Alaska lying between the lower Koyukuk river and
 the Yukon was until recently but lit tie known. In 1913 1t wss explored by H. M. Eakin, and his results are pre- sented in s report entitled The Yu. kon'Koyukuk Region" recently issued by the geological survey as Bulletin
 o3l. The region Is essentially a roll ing upland above which rise some higher mountain masses reaching al. itudes of 5000 to 5000 feet. This up land is broken by broad valleys and
 lowlands. The mountain slopes are clothed with spruce trees up to the attitudes of 2.000 feet Spruce and birch also cover the lowlsnds. Above timber line the vegetation is chiefly moss. The timber areas. notably In the lowiands, are broken by meadows covered with a luxurisnt growth of grass. Moose, caribou and bear still roam over much of this region, which is seldom visited by white men. S0 important mineral resources have been found in the Yukon-Koyukuk region, but many of the stream grsvels carry some fine colors of gold. This gold seems to have been derived from the contact zones of granite intrusive rocks, which are abundant in the re
 zion. That some of these deposits are of commercial importance is shown by the fact that the plseers oi

ESKIMO HELPING DEVELOPMENT
 ALASKA

4 farthest north magazine. pub lished near the Arctic Circle. has made it's appearance under the title The Eskimo and Is devoted to the inter ests of Eskimos of the northwestern district Of Alaska. II is published at Nome by teachers and others of the United States bureau of education who have been formally congratulated by r, P. Claxton, United States com missioner Of education, for their en- terprise
 h the leading article of is first is. sue. written by Superintendent Walter (. Shields, of the education bureau. 1t says:
 The Eskimo is not dependent On the contrary be Is. even in his present condition. real and vital factor in the wealth of the country. He has never received a ration from the gov. ernment; he can support himself. not always according to our standards 1t IS true, but 1t is better for him to eat strictly native food than for him to learn to expect the government to sup. port him.
 The wall so often heard from i< lorsnt but presumably charitable pie Why don't you give the poor l. pie some food?' If needed would ma paupers out of a self-supporting and noble race. We are proud Of the fact that We have not fed the Eskimo. We are proud of him as a man because he feeds himself
 One reason why primitive races have so often been pushed 10 the wall by the white race has been that the white race has coveted and needed the land. As far as We can see, for years to come the white man will not make any attempt to push the Els kimo off his part Of the map. While there will undoubtedly be develop ments in mining. yet for a long time to come the Eskimo will have plenty of room in northern Alaska There fore, even if some unexpected deyel- opment should become desirable for large white population, We believe tha with what development the Eski. mo has already received, and the ad- ditional development that even five years more of undisturbed possession Of his northern fsstnesses will give him, he will be we'll fitted to meet ad- Vsnced economic conditions.
 We of the Alaska school service are helping to bear the white mans bur den. We do not claim to be minister ing to dying race: VIC want no praise as helpers Of the weak or as ministers to the doRntrodden who are dying in filth and degradation. We do not allow any one to class us in these categories. This class of work is entirely humanitarian and is properly the duty Of missionary organizations But as representatives of the govern ment we claim the right of our ser vice to exist because We are develop ing the resources Of northern Alaska just ss much as any man with a pick and pan. We are adding 10 the wealth Of the nation just as much and as surely as any prospector or trail,mak- sr. We are making a country pro duetiye just as much as any reclama- ton project that was ever managed by the government"
