Now that the government has built
a railroad in Alaska there bids fair to
be an accumulation of experience at
public expense. Stories of the attempt
to operate trains in the coastal region
beyond the genial influence of the JAP
anese current are interesting and may
not be greatly exaggerated. 1t is de-
clared that icicles big enough to stall
a train froze on the tracks. The car
wheels froze to the rails while the
icicles were being cut, and had to be
thawed with heavy jets of steam. The
steam jets froze as the wheels were
freed, and then the telegraph wires re-
fused to work. Perhaps there will
have to be a closed season on railroads
in Alaska except e the coast.

HELPING BOYS TO BE BOYS.

How many of the men who are TAX
ing such a deep interest in the boys
of today recall with clear vision their
own boyhood? 1t is necessary to do
this, or their efforts are likely to be
misdirected. The normal boy is not
only possessed of the germ of tre-
mendous possibilities, as the potential
man of the future, but he is also Il
compound of contradictions, a store
house of energy, and his untutored
mind is bent to experimentation as
sparks fly upward. He must have an
outlet, and if this is denied him one
way, he will find it in another, says
Omaha Bee. And this is why such u
movement as the Boy Scouts is of serv-
ice. Here an effort has been made to
unite in a practical way the training
that is useful with the opportunity for
reasonable display of animal spirits /;
tendencies that might become destruc-
tive are turned to service, and the boy
is helped to be a boy while being
taught things good for him to know
when he comes to manhood. His mind
and his body are brought into co-ordi-
mated activity, he finds latent facul-
ties awakened and dormant powers
brought to life and development. Dis
cipline of word and act trains him to
control of thought and impulse. and
without hindrance of natural desires
he is shown how fun may be had in
ways that harm none and may help
many.

The government bird census" of
1914 indicated an average of six pairs
of robins and five pairs of English
sparrows on each farm tract of the
standard size Cos acres) used in the
enumeration. The accuracy of these
figures was widely questioned by peo-
pie who felt sure that the English
sparrow was by far the commonest
bird in the northeastern United States.
However, the recently published re-
suits of the 1915 census also indicate
the greater abundance of robins, in the
proportion of eight pairs to six, says
Scientific American. A recent esti-
mate by F. L. Burns based on his Sec
tional census made in 1914 at Berwyn,
Pa, places the total population of Eng
lish sparrows in the United States east
of the Mississippi river at 165, 000,0 900
individuals.

the poor condemned soldier. 1t was a
broiling hot day and the ride to camp
was a long one of ten miles, but the
great-hearted Lincoln was ben on saw
ing the poor soldier and he went for
ward. Perhaps the president later for
got the incident amid weightier cares
of state, but not so the soldier. When
the Third Vermont charged upon the
rifle pits before YORKTOWN the follow
ing year the enemy poured a volley
upon them. The first mar to fall was
William Scott of Company K, with six
bullets through his body. His COM
rades caught him as he fell and as
his life blood ebbed away, he raised
to heaven amid the din of battle, the
cries of the dying and the shouts of
the enemy, a prayer for the president,
and as he died he remarked to his COM
rades that Lincoln had showed he was
no coward and was not afraid to die.
At the burial later the chaplain mar
rated the circumstances to the boys
who stood about with uncovered
heads. He had prayed for the presi-
lent and paid him a most fervid and
glowing tribute with his dying breath.

and the Alliance and the Pallas he
was swooped down upon by the iotil-
la under Captain Pearson which was
conveying a merchant fleet. Jones
prepared to meet the enemy as best
he could. The British guns had long
range and Paul Jones determined to
fight close. He brought his ships up
to the enemy until the muzzles of his
guns came in contact with the enemy
ships. Then ensued one of the most
frenzied conflicts in the history of
naval battles. continuing from seven
to ten in the evening. Paul Jones'
position was desperate In the extreme.
His ship was so shattered that only
three guns remained effective, and he
then assailed the enemy with hand
grenades which falling into the
