Government Reserves Coal
Fields in Alaska to Have
a Certain Supply of Fuel

Through the work of the genera.
land Office and the bureau of mines,
government reservations have been
designated in certain coal fields in
Alaska. These reservations are in
tended to cover such ground as will
provide coal for government use, pro-
tect the public from individuals at
tempting to monopolize coal lands or
extort exorbitaQt prices for coal, and
still offer equally good areas in the
best-known parts of the fields for ex-
ploration by private enterprise.
Experts of the bureau of mines, hav-
ing to do with this work, state that
the leasing units were laid out in COM
paratively small blocks, which can be
worked individually or combined into
larger tracts up to the maximum acre
age permitted by law. Attention was
given to the amount of probable coal
of workable thickness in each Of these
areas, the relationship Of the area to
possible transportation lines, the quail
ity of the coal and the general condi-
tions affecting mining.
The future Of the Alaska coal fields,
1t is asserted, is still somewhat prob
lematical. Along the entire coast the
output will come in direct competition
with California oil, the coal fields of
Oregon, Washington and British Co
lumbia, and with hydroelectric power.
Both the Bering river and the Manta-
nuska fields contain high-grade btu
minous coal suitable for coking and for
use in the navy, and the Nenana field
contains an excellent Ignite, suitable
for power or domestic uses, or as a
powdered fuel in furnaces.
Experiments have proved that Goals
from other states on the coast have not
proved satisfactory for use by the
navy.

Kite Balloons Form Very
. important Part of Naval
and Military War Forces

1.-THE observation balloon has been
one Of the important discoveries OF the
year." observes a writer in Aviation,
who continues:
"Its value Is Indicated by the rapid
growth of both personnel and craft.
It is found today on every front, and
almost every mile of that front, for the
excellent reason that it has proved in
dispensable to the modern army In the
field.
'"The observation kite balloon, as at
present used, was the invention OF
Captain Won Sigsfeld and Major Won
Parseval of the German army, and
the craft was constructed by the Par
seval Airship company. The British
army got its first idea Of the kite bal
loon from the Belgians. Early in 1915
Squadron (now Wing) Commander
Maitland was so much impressed by
the excellent service it was giving the
Belgian artillery that he laid pro-
posal for similar equipment before the
board Of admiralty. This was adopt
ed. orders for the construction Of the
craft were placed and the British k-B
made it's first appearance in the war
area in the early spring Of 1915.
"As then constructed by the British.
the balloon was found to be consider
ably more reliable than the spherical,
being steadier and more airworthy,
and therefore more accurate in Obser-
walton.
''The great success Of the frst craft
led to demand for more, and the
Byitish naval authorities made expert
ments with them on ships at sea.
More and more urgent grew the de-
mand from both branches Of the serv-
ice, until today kite balloons form an
important part of both naval and mil
itary forces.
"The work of these craft is too wide
ly recognized to need repetition, fur
ther than to mention the danger. to
which a captive balloon is exposed
from hostile airplanes. There is often
not time enough to draw the balloon
to the ground when an enemy machine
appears, and the only protection is a
friendly airplane, or the ever-ready
parachute"

seth Study history,
look into the life and habits of the an
cient Greeks, and you will find that the
nations which used the plainest, sim
plest and most meager fare were
among the strongest, while those who
descended to table habits bordering
upon gluttony rapidly refrigerated.
Why? Because the mind Of the glut-
ton is dead mind. He cannot think,
his whole body Is sluggish, the organs
are so clogged that they are unable to
function properly and the result Is
physical and mental decay.
Eating is matter of habit. We
In America, the great land Of plenty,
have been accustomed to eat what we
wished. For generations it has been
the same until. from simplicity of eat
ing, we have bordered closely onto ex-
cess. This is not true of everyone.
America Is not nation Of gluttons,
but I do maintain that, on an average,
we Americans consume perhaps twice
as much as Is necessary to sustain
4 life, and that this very oyercOnsump-
ton has been the cause Of more illness.
more doctors bills and more suffering
than any other one cause.
In all life we are creatures of her
etlity. When Mr.. Burbank wishes to
produce a new flower he looks back
into the past ages and finds all about
the ancestors Of that flower. He dis
covers that flower which had once
been fairly hardy and able to with
stand rigorous winters, has become
delicate plant which must be tenderly
nourished, or it will die. This con-
tiition Is brought about through CEN
turtles of pampering. It has been ar
tificially cared for, we'll watered, and
thoroughly fertilized with the result
that nature has not been called upon
to give it protection.
And so 1t Is with us. We have
been reared in land of plenty; a
land of vast crops and rich food and,
we have become soft. The savage
who depends on his acute sense Of
smell, keen vision. and fleetness OF
foot for his daily food is wonderful
animal. Nature provides him with all
these essentials to sustain life. Take
that same savage from his wild en-
vironments and daily struggle with
life, place him in surroundings Of
plenty, and in two or three genera
tions his descendants will have lost
all of those wondrcus senses their an
cestor had developed. The American
Indian is the most striking example
Of this we have today. -.
With these few facts before us let
us now look into those little prac-
tices of saving which we all believe
In trying to put into effect, but which
many of US deem impossible, because
habit has made us believe that we can
not live withoc. certain things to eat
ard certain quantity of each. :

When the Sun Seems Biu.

We all know an optical illusion
makes the setting sun seem larger and
often of an oval shape, but a recent
explanation by W. F. Badgley in Popu-
lar Astronomy of some Of the causes
which bring this about is Interesting.
The atmosphere near the earth's sur
face, when hot and dusty, acts as q
magnifying glass, so distant objects
on the horizon are seen through a thick
layer of air. which increases its size
many times. Lboking upward, we see
through more rarifled air. which does
not possess the magnifying power.

America Buying Feathers !.
From China, Proving to Be
.-r As Good Customer as Huns

Although the export of feathers
(duck, fowl, etc.) from China as a
whole has decreased somewhat during
the past few years owing to the elimi-
nation Of the German buyers, says a
Shanghai newspaper, the export OF
feathers from China to America has
shown great increase since the out
break of the war, America having
stepped in to take almost the identical
quantity that Germany had previous
]y taken.
About a million dollars worth Of
feathers are exported from Chinese
ports yearly, America last year taking
about one-third of this quantity,
whereas two years previously the
American purchases were incOnsequen-
tial. The customs figures show that
Kowloon Opposite Hongl1ong) is the
principal port of, export for feathers
from China, but as the feathers from
Kowloon are merely transferred to the
British possession of Hongkong, few
miles distant, there is mo means OF
knowing what the ultimate destination
was Of the very considerable quantity
of more than 100000 worth exported
from the City of the Nine Dragons
(Which is what the Chinese name
mcans).
Shanghai itself produces over $780,
900 worth of feathers for export, whilo
the Yangtse port Of Wuhu furnishes
not far short of 100000 worth. The
buyer of feathers in China must use
extreme care or else he will find what
has been sold him ostensibly as duck
feathers will contains feathers from
chickens or other fowls whose feathers
are of an inferior quality. ,,.=

0'Connor Cites History in
Connection With Troubles
of the People of Ireland

If the Irish rebellion had not been
followed by it's sequel it would have
been by this time forgotten and corp
demned by the vast majority of the
Irish people; but, as matter of fact
writes r., p. O'COnnor in CartOOns
Magazine, when the rebellion was put
down by one of those extraordinary
blunders so often committed in the
management of Ireland by England,
dictatorial powers were given into the
hands of soldier of not particularly
marked intelligence. He declared he
was going to put down sedition an- re-
belliop in Ireland forever. Well, If
he had read any Irish history he
would have known that that had been
said for six centuries. He then pro-
ceeded, in secrecy, in the darkness of
cells, convicting on evidence not yet
published, these unfortunate young
men, and then taking them out In
patches in the cold, bleak morning and
executing them in the back yard Of a
wounded that he had to have planks
put on each side of the chair on which
he had to sit while he was being shot.
All these executions produced pro-
found revulsion of feeling in Ireland
and in America.
Now, that is the beginning Of the
trouble in Ireland. If you read history
you will find that there has never been
anything so incalculable In its effects
upon the human soul as an execution
for an ideal.
