Alaska.

Alaska is an outlying possession. Seward bought it of Russia in 1867 for sT, 100000. He and 1t became a na- tiOnal joke for that generation, and eI- cept for Stewards icebox" 1t attracted but little attention. Having more than half 8 million square miles in area, 1t is more than zen times larger than any state east of the Mississippi and con tains mountain systems, valleys and mighty rivers. Switzerland could be lost around the base of Mount McK1n- ley. It Is only since Klondike days that Alaska has at all been taken seri- ously, and even from that date the de- Yelopment has come slowly. But Alas ka has only been scratched. Alaska iS the biggest prize in the Pacific ocean. its material possibilities are illimitable, and we are permitting it to stand ut tsrly unprotected when with only a little care on our part 1t could be made tmpregnRbie.-Century.

THE ALLIED FORCES

The war editors are divided in their opinions as to how long the war against Germany will last There IS considerable unanimity, however, in the belief that the cam paigu, in case the Germans are not beaten Iu the next two months, that is before they harvest this years crops, will extend at least well in to 1918.
 4 more optimistic view would g.. ID to b5 taken by the Philadel- Uhia Public Ledger which, after recUuullng the odds now against Germany, says: William Hohen- zcl eru can no more whip a united w-r-d than Napoleon Bonapart could defeat 8 united Europe and !t tcok the latter only 100 days tS throw a bridge from Elba to St. Helena"
 The Ledger's summary of these odds against the Kaiser, follows:
 More than half the human race is now engaged in war against the Germans.
 The man strength of the TeutOn- ic forces is Outnumbeered six to one by their foes.
 Omit all India, and the allies, backed by the United States, still nave four times the population to draw upon that stands behind the kaiser
 subtract all the wealth of the German fund from the wealth of the United States and there still remains more than S5O,O00,0OO,OOO.
 American farms grow more than all the farms of Germany, Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria combined.
 The United States alone can make more steel and all the products of steel than the whole Germanio league.
 Our mines yield ten times as much gold, far more silver, twice as much lead and many times as much copper as the entire group of cen tra4 powers.
 "Germanys' national debt is now nearly $2OO per capita. Ours is On- ly S10. SlEs&l
 To pay years interest on his share Of his nations debt costs a German thirty times as much as it costs an American"

RELlGloUS WARS IN EUROPE.
The Thirty Years Conflict and ths
 Peace of WestPhalia.

Peace of Westphalia.
 Osnabruck is one of the most veDer- able towns of Prussia. In the closing years of the eighth century Charle- magne designated 1t as the capital of bishopric, a distinction which 1t en- loved without interruption for more than a thousand years. In 1908 the see was suppressed, the last bishop being Frederick, duke of York, son of the English Hanoverian monarch, Georg1 III. In 1858 the city was restored to It's religious eminence when 1t was again made the seat of Roman Cath olic bishop.
 It is on account of her share in the preliminary negotiations which led to the eporhaI peace of Westphaia that Osnabruck is famous in history. In I644, after all central Europe had been devastated by the great struggle which eventually became known as the Thirty Years war, representatives of Sweden, the German empire and Ger man PrOtestants met here, while in the neighboring city of Munster, thirty miles to the southwest, delegates from France. Spain, the German Catholics and the German empire gathered.
 The negotiations extended over a pc riod of four years. Tn October, 164S, both groups of conferees having ar rived at a common basis of settlement the Osnabruck diplomats repaired tc Munster. where a few days later the peace was signed which guaranteed the sovereignty and independence of the several states of the empire and which forbade religious persecution throughout Germany. It was this peace, in which OsnabruCk played such a vital part, that put an end to reh- gIous wars in Europe.
 As early as SsS Osnabruck was granted the right to establish its own mint, but 1t was not until the fifteenth century that the city reached the crest of is medlaeval prosperity. Following the decline which was necessarily incl dental to the ravages of the Thirty Years war, 1t enjoyed a second era of growth.
 The two most impressive architec- tural piles in Osnabruck are the spa. cious cathedral, dating back to the twelfth century and representing a combination of the Romanesque and Transitional styles, and the royal pal ace. built in 1G62-75.-NatiOnal Geo. graphic Society Bulletin.

Some Curious Customs of a Race That
 Will Soon 5e Extinct.
 The aborlgines of Queensland are fast fading away, and in view of the fact that this race will soon be extinct an examination of their social customs Is interesting.
 The death bone or bone apparatus, with its supposed property of produc- ing death. Is one of the most dreaded and universal supersdions among the natives of the Queensland interior The apparatus consists Of a pointer connected by string with an elongated cylindrical receptacle. The pointer three to five inches long, Is made from human forearm bone, the string Is made from human hair, and the recep- taCle, which inclOses the victims life blood, is fashioned from a shin bone. The medicine man" of the tribe uses the weapon by aiming the pointer at the person selected for punishment.
 One of the most curious of the abO- rigInal weapons Is the "whirler," or ''bull roarer." It is made of a flat tened piece of gldyea timber cut into spindle shape. into one extremity of which a hole is drilled with a sharp ened emu bone. By means Of the aper, ture this whirler Is attached to piece of string fixed at the end of a small stick. Revolving rapidly, the whirler gives out a roaring sound.-London Telegraph.
