 The deep perfectly protected harbor presents an ob long surface embracing forty square miles, upon which any ship that floats may sail in safety at any time, and which appearance suggests nothing much as beauti full inland lake
 The mainland and shores of Resurrection supply ann pie space and perfect topography for the building of city of whatever extent future needs may develops and this cir cymstance, added to its natural position gateway to the interior and the freedom from ice at all seasons o the harb0r and adjacent waters lead the to select this port the terminal for the railroad The un limited coal and oil and mineral of Alaska will flow through this port to enter the Of the word and in return will the supplies for distribution over territory greater in extent than many state combined thus making the great port of the North Pacific or the NEW YORK OF ALASKA

they were nearly out Of breath when
they came to the row of openings,
which they perceived to be doorways
leading into halls in the upper part
of the house. Following these halls
they discovered many small rooms
opening from them. and some were
furnished with glass benches, tables
and chairs. But there were no beds
at all.

why. there seems to be no night

Those colored suns are exactly in the

chose IA little room at the end of the
hall.

Zeb walked down again TO unhar-
ness Jim, who, when he found him
self free, rolled over a few times and
then settled down to sleep, with
Eureka nesting comfortably beside
his big. bony body. Then the boy
returned to one of the upper rooms.
and in spite of the hardness of the
glass bench was soon deep in slum-

colored suns were shining down upon
the Land of the Mangaboos just as
they had done ever since his arrival.
The little man. having had a good
sleep, felt rested and refreshed, and
looking through the glass partition
Of the room he saw Zeb sitting up on
his bench and yawning.
Just then they heard the big voice
of Jim the cab horse calling to them,
and going to the doorway leading to
the dome they found the Princess and
throng of her people had entered
the House of the Sorcerer.
SO they went down to greet the
beautiful vegetable lady. who said to
them:
Il have been talking with my ad-
visers about you meat people, and we
have decided that you do not belong
in the Land Of the Mangaboos and
must not remain here"
How can we go away?' asked
Dorothy.
"Oh, you cannot go away, Of course
SO you must be destroyed" was the
answer.
"In what way?" inquired the Wiz
ard.

into the Garden Of the Twining
Vines" said the Princess, and they

now proceed to prove my magic by
creating two suns that you have never
seen before; also will exhibit a
Destroyer much more dreadful than
your Clinging Vines"
So he placed Dorothy upon one
side of him and the boy upon the
other and set lantern upon each of
their heads.
Don't laugh" he whispered to
them, cor YOU will spoil the effect
of my magic"
Then, with much dignity and a
look of vast Importance upon his

but still they cleaned steadily and
clearly. The Mangaboos We're much
impressed because they had never be-
fore seen any light that did not come
directly from their suns.
Next the Wizard poured pool of
oil from the can upon the glass floor,
where it covered quite a broad surface.
When he lighted the oil n hundred
tongues of flame shot up, and the eject
was really imposing

. The cab horse, who was browsing
near. lifted his head with a sigh.

to be long while between meals in
this strange country. But I'm ready
to go. now, at any time you wish"
Where shall we stay?" asked the
girl.
II think / shall take possession of
the House Of the Sorcerer, replied the
Wizard; for the Prince said in the
presence of his people that he would
keep me until they picked another
Sorcerer, and the new Princess won't
know but that we belong there"
They agreed to this plan, and when
they reached the great square Jim
drew the buggy into the big door of
the domed hall.
"'What are those holes up tha"e?"
inquired the boy. pointing to some
openings. that appeared near the top
Of the dome.
"They look like doorways," said
Dorothy; only there are no stairs to

With this he began walking in the

At this the Wizard made a bow to
the people and repeated his trick of
producing the nine tiny piglets and
making them disappear again
Just then his eye fell upon the Ian

headquarters as the two trunk lines"
The trunk line which reached the west
coast Of England usually passed north
OF Ireland through the North channel
and down the Irish sea to Liverpool
Under certain conditions these convoys
passed south Of Ireland and thence up
the Irish sea. The conveys to the east
coast took trunk line that passed up
the English channel. Practically all
shipping from the United States to
Great Britain and France took one of
these trunk lines. But, like our rail-
road systems. each Of these main routes
had branch lines.
Thus, shipping destined for French
ports took the southern route until off
the entrance to the English CHANNEL
here it abandoned the main line and
took branch route to Brest, Bordeaux,
Nantes and other French ports. In the
channel likewise several Single track"
branches went to various English ports,
such as Plymouth, Portsmouth, South
ampton, and the like. The whole gigantic
enterprise flowed with a precision and
regularity which I think II Is hardly
