SAN FRANCISCO EDITOR SAYS
 ALASKA SCENERY SURPRISES
 THAT FOUND IN SWITZERLAND

at it's mountains, to one who has ex- plored the beauties of the inland waters of Alaska sailing through which one never loses sight of lofty peaks of snow-clad ranges of noun tains down whose sides cascade streams in such number that no one has essayed the task of naming them.
 As a matter of fact the region threaded by the waters of what is known as the inside passage is prac- tically unexplored. Captain McGill- vary of the Admiral Evans probably could tell the width and depth of every bit of water over which he sail ed his ship, but when asked concern ing the name of some particularly striking peak he was powerless to answer because they were nameless, as for the waterfalls they remain un- counted as we'll as unnamed.
 There is work for some one with imagination to perform in the inside passage, and when it is done it will add greatly to the attractiveness of an excursion which presents so over- whelming an abundance of striking and beautiful scenery and the point of satiety is reached and an impress sion of monotonousness is derived be- cause of the failure to particularize.
 Over-indulgence in sweets tend to cloy, and a seemingly endless success sion of scenes which could a few of them be transferred nearer home would prove powerful magnets, af- ter a while becomes commonplace by the sight-seer when he is given a glimpse of something particularized

During the early part of July, in party touring through the Wat CTS of Southeastern Alaska, was John F. Young, managing editor of the San Francisco Chronicle and author of several books, accompanied by Mrs. Young. Upon his return to the Cali fornia city he wrote Our Land of the Midnight Sun," telling of the wonder full scenery along the route, and of his impressions.
 His article was as follows:
 ''Let us pay another visit to the Government Experiment Station," re- marked a sentimental young woman in the steamer Admiral Evans, while she was lying at Sitka on the night of July 8th. If she had been there fifteen or sixteen days earlier she might have postponed the excursion at least three-quarters of an hour and accomplished her object, which was to gather flowers as near midnight as possible, and simultaneously view the setting sun, if that luminary can be said to set in a region in which his light is only obscured for few min utes in that particular part of Uncle Sam's dominions in midsummer.
 That she should have made such a suggestion and caused a party of tourists to act upon it reminds me that Americans have developed the habit of neglecting the wonders at their own door, so to speak, while wandering over the rest of the world in quest of them. Perhaps a thousand Americans have made the trip to Nor way, penetrating it's fiords and gazing

BIRDS ARE VALUED.
Carrier Pigeons Do Excellent
Service for Army.
Many Now Being Trained at the Uni.
versity Of Wisconsin Under tho
Direction Of the Government
Made Splendid Record.

Carrier pigeons for the army are
now being trained at the University of
Wisconsin, and special experiments
with the birds are being carried on
under the direction Of the government.
This new war work has been taken
IN under the direction Of Prof. L. j.
Cole, head Of the department Of ex-
perimentnl breeding.
Twenty-Five young pigeons have
been received from the signal corps
for, use in flying Investigations, and
II old birds for breeding purposes
have been donated by Cleveland
pigeon fancier.
Lieut.. W. l.. Butler Of the central
department Of the signal corps at Chi
cago and Maj. Frank Griffin Of the
Washington office were at the univer-
sity recently making arrangements for
the work.
A warning not to shoot pigeons has
been issued by the bureau Of informa.
ton at Washington on account Of the
large number Of homing pigeons which
are being trained In various parts OF
the country. Now that the training is
also being carried on in Wisconsin, the
people of that state are being warned
not to shoot pigeons and if any bird
is found bearing the label "U. S. A.
O. 49," the mark borne by all govern
ment pigeons, It should be reported to
the chief signal officer at Washington.
In the present war homing pigeons
play large part in the carrying Of
important messages. because they can
fly home when telephones. telegraph
and wireless have been destroyed, and
are rarely hit by suntire.
The process Of training a pigeon for
military purposes consists in first TAX
Ing It about 900 yards from home and
looSing 1t SO that 1t can fly back: then
the distance is increased and the di-
rection changed as the training pro-
greSSaS.
The average speed of homlng
pigeon is from 1.40O to 100 yards a
minute. although many make much
higher speed than this. Important
messages in the army are usually sent
by two birds in order to insure safe
delivery and hut few messages nrc lost.
4 small aluminium oontainer Is
fastened to the birds legs to carry
messages. or else the bits of paper are
tied directly on the legs.
Stories are recorded daily in the
war Of life-saving feats accomplished
by homing pigeons. a crew of YES
sell struck by a submarine recently had
just time to free homing pigeon be-
fore the ship sunk. Although the bird
was wounded by shots from the Ger
man submarine, It flew to another
craft ~ miles away and saved the
lives Of the men ttoundering about in
the water.
Men are In great demand in the
hon,ing pigeon operator branch Of the
signal service No man Of draft age
can be indicted into this service. but
there is 4 call for men below twenty
one and over thirty years Of age for
this work
