The AIeutian Islands Chain Over q
Thousand Miles In Length.

Tho AIeutian Islands Chain Over a
Thousand Miles In Length.
Few persons are aware that the
shortest route from San Francisco to
Japan is by way of Alaska. Nearly
a thousand miles are saved to vessels
trading with the orient by coasting
along the Aleutian islands rather than
following the Hawaiian route.
The Aleutian islands, more than 15O
in number, which extend in a chain
east and west for more than a thou
sand miles, are inhabited by the rem
nant of the Aleuts. Their war of the
revolution closed just as the Ameri.
can Revolutionary war began. So pa.
triotic were the Aleuts, so brave in
their struggle for independence, that
they succumbed to the Russians only
after a conflict of nearly fifty years,
and then simply because the race was
almost exterminated in the struggle.
While the Aleutian islands must
eventually form an important link in
the commerce between the United
States and the orient, other islands
link our country with the vast empire
to the north. In the narrow Bering
strait lie two little islands, one occu-
pied by Russia, the other by the Unit
ed States, SO that citizens of the two
great nations live on respective islands
within a few miles of each other.

Evening schools owe their existence
to the Rev. Thomas Charles, who about
1911 set up n at Bala, Wales, which
proved to be quite successful. In 1889
or 1910 the English Bishop Kinds
strongly recommended such schools for
poor adults, who, on account of en-
forced labor. had no chance to secure
an education. The idea was taken in
hand by the British privy council in
1861, and from that date evening
schools began to be considered seri-

The most remarkable eclipse Of the
sun witnessed In the United States In

eclipses previous and since then, but

grandeur and interest.
The eclipse Of 1906 was to be seen
Over all parts OF North America. For
tunately the day was a remarkably
fine one, scarcely a cloud being visible
In any part Of the heavens. The suns
entire surface was covered at twenty
' minutes and thirty seconds past
IL o'clock.
James Fenimore Cooper, the novel;

the eclipse, was so enthusiastic an OBJ
server Of the spectacle that twenty-five
years after the event he wrote a mi
mute account of what he saw and how
he felt during the wonderful occur

from the lips of all. The people began
gathering into the street. Their usual
labors We're abandoned. and all faces
Were turned upward.
The monday heat began to lessen,
and there was something of the cool
ness of early morning. Mr.. Cooper
further states that "all living crea-
lures seemed thrown into a state of
agitation. The birds were fluttering
to and fro in great excitement. They
seemed to misfrust that this was not
the gradual approach of evening and
were undecided in their movements.
Even the dogs became uneasy and
drew nearer to their masters.
Every house now gave up it's ten.
ants. As the light failed more and
more with every passing second the
children came fOcking about their
mothers In terror. The sun appeared
like a young moon of three or four
days old. One after the other the
stars came into view, which filled the
spirit with singular sensations"

places where the eclipse was com.
