Tidal Wave Has Nothing
to Do With the Tides

Tidal wave has nothing to do with
the tides. Any great onrush OF the
sea that overwhelms the land is called
a tidal wave. Such waves may be
due to various causes. They may rep
resent heaping up of masses of wa
ter by hurricane of wind; or an
earthquake under the sea may be the
cause. Submarine volcanic erup-
tlons are of not very infrequent oc-
currence. and earthquakes are liable
to accompany them. Cor mere slip
ping of strata in the sea floor may
cause earthquakes. If, incidentally to
the volcanic or seismic disturbance,
one part of the sea floor sinks or an
other part rises there must be a con-
sequent rush of water, which may as
sumo the proportions of what Is
called q tidal wave.

Naturalist Describes and
Names Eighty-Six Species
of Browns and Grizzlies

All the Alaskan brown bears look
very much alike, says DR.. William T.
Hornaday, in Boys Life To be more
exact. they strongly show the dis
tinguishing characteristics of their
group. Some are light brown, some
are dark brown, and some have dark
legs and light bodies. If should try
10 name even the best-known species,
and give their characteristics, no one
would remember them for two hours.
1t is not amiss however, to give here
the names and places of the species
that are at this moment living in our
geological park collections; and in do
ing so ! will begin with the most
southerly species we have and work
nOrthward:
Admiralty bear, Ursus eulophus, Ad-
miralty island.
Yakutat bear, Ursus DALI. Yakutat
bay.
Kadiak bear, Ursus middendorffi,
Kadiak island.
Peninsula bear, Ursus DALI gyas,
Alaskan peninsula.
Kobuk bear, Ursus innuitus, Kobuk
river.
Last year startling thing hap
pened. For full quarter of CEN
tury, Doctor Merriam has been col
lecting bear skulls and studying North
American bears. And then, all of u
sudden. out came from him an inno-
cent-lOOking little pamphlet descrlb-
ing and naming SO species of Alaskan
brown bears and grizzly bears And
Doctor Merriam declares that the
skulls before him left him nothing else
To do.
or course we cannot follow up the
devoted SO species, and become per-
sonally and permanently acquainted
with each one. 1t Is about all l can
do to keep step with the five live spe-
cies daily before me.

RICE DOES WELL
New Agricultural Industry Produces
Crop Worth Millions
Of Dollars.

washington.-In eight years the
Sacramento valley of California has
developed new agricultural industry,
rice growing, which this past season
has resulted in gross production es-
timated to be worth, approximately
twenty-One millions of dollars. This
showing is the result OF research car
ried on by the bureau of plant indus
try Of the department Of agriculture.
Following experiments by the bureau
covering three years, the first COM
mercial rice crop as planted In 1912.
The value of the 1919 rice crop in Cal
ifornia will probably he several mil
lions greater than that Of wheat and
peaches, both of which are commonly
thought Of as relatively large crops

Lack of Water in Blood
May Increase Temperature

A new theory as to what fever Is
caused by is propounded by the New
York Medical Journal. Recent studies
prove that lack Of water in the blood
may bring about a rapid and high in
crease in temperature, even as high as
100 degree F. Other investigators had
reported temperatures of this abner-
NAL height In rare cases of hysteria,
but these had not been accepted gen.
orally, II being believed that such tenn
peratures were physically impossible.
Their certifcation by later observers
has aroused discussion Of the question
Of the cause of fever.

Ex-KINCS EYE
DANUBE STATES
Federation Is Formed on Paper
by PIotters in SWitzer-
land.
DETAILS ARE NOT COMPLETE
exiied Rulers, Seeing the HopeIess.,ess
Of Their Cause, Now Center All
Their Plotting on One Great
Scheme.

Berne. NATURALIZATION "the play
ground Of Europe" Of before the war,
Switzerland has become "the plotting
ground OF Europe" of after the war.
And all Of this plotting may now be
summarized In one general end of "the
constitution of a Danubian confedera-
tion."
To the credit OF the Swiss It must
be said they resent In the extreme de-
gree the abuse that is now being made
bf their country and their hospitality
by the exiled rulers and statesmen Of
erstwhile empires and states, but they
are as helpless in the matter as they
are innocent.
Keeps Everybody Busy.
While they cannot keep their little
country sfrom being converted into an
incubator. however, they can at least
try to keep the plots being brooded
therein from actually Matching, and the
Swiss secret service, together with It's
gendarmes. its policemen. its detectives
and its public officials generally, are
putting in quite few seepess nights
TO this end.
Now that the gradual readjustment
OF Europe has left no doubts in the
minds of certain exiled rulers, like ex-
King Constantine of Greece and some
Of the former rulers of German states.
Of the hOpelessness Of their cause, all
OF the plotting In Switzerland has
come slowly TO center on one great
scheme, scheme that is not only con-
sidered possible, but that is considered
by many of the great minds and au-
thOrities of Europe as being absolute
ly imperative and inevitable.
This is the constitution of a DAN
ubian federation to replace the old
dual monarchy, and which. according to
its hackers. is the only thing that can
insure the life of the half-dOzen or
more states into which the old Austri.
an-Hungarian monarchy has been di-
vided.
Vital and Imperative.
Whether this Danubian federation
has its center north of the Danube
with what is left of Hungary and Aus
tria as basis or whether ii has it's
center south Of the Danube with Serbia
and Roumania playing the reading
role whether IL be monarchical or re-
publican In form, together with half a
dozen other possibilities or ramifica-
tions, are generally considered unim-
portant. All that is regarded as vital
and imperative is that such a confed.
Grafton be constituted and that IL be
organized in full harmony with and
support Of the allies.
Hungary and German Austria. as
they will exist when the peace confer
ence finishes its work, will be dead
states-their own people and states
men admit that. Poland and Czecho-
Slovakia are merely gambling bets.
But Serbia and Roumania are cOnsd-
cred rs the two big future bets of
south central Europe.
On the other hand, there are just
as many supporters and just as many
plotters in Switzerland who would like
to see Vienna regain some of its past
glory as the center of the new Danubi-
an confederacy; Budapest is equally
well represented, while there are
plenty Of others who can demonstrate
from dozen standpoints, why War
saw is inevitably destined as the future
great center Of middle European life.

LET'S HOPE THEY SUCCEED

Many Valdez citizens are urging At torney A. J. Dimond to go before the Democratic primaries as a candidate for territorial representative. MT. Di- nond has been a citizen of Alaska for many years. He has never asked for any office at the hands of the people. He has served the city several terms as councilman and mayor, and has made one of the best officials the city has ever had If Valdez can induce him to represent the city in the con- ing legislature our interests will be we'll guarded.-Va1dez Miner.
 It is very much to be desired that the people of Valdez succeed in in- ducing MT. Dimond to become a can- didate for the legislature Mr. Dimond is one of the able lawyers of Alaska, an earnest, energetic and thoroughly honest citizen, who is devoted to the cause of the North. The services of such man in the legislature would be of inestimable value
 It is because of the lack of men of the ability and energy of Mr. Dimond in the state and territorial legisla- lures that local self-governme in the United States has been giving way to a process of standardization of all authority in the federal government at Washington. If the states and ter ritories would send more of such men to their legislatures there would be more responsible government in the land and more progress There is no nan in the territory of Alaska that is too big to go to the territorial legisla- ture. Let us hope the people of Valdez and the Third division will set an ex- ample to the rest of the territory by sending MT. Dimond here to represent them in the next session of the terri torial lawmakers-Jun Empire.
