NOME: A CITY THAT
HIBERNATES

Nome, Alaska, in recent years has
been city that dwindles in winter
to population of but a few hundred,
and spring has brought a Iessening re-
turn of residents. Thus this remote
mining camp, after a meteOric career
and growth into a city, gradually is
reSuming the status of a town.
Situated on the bleak north coast of
the icy stOrm-swept Bering sea, close
to the Arctic circle, Nome is frozen in
and showed in for about seven months
of the year. It's chief industry, placer
gold mining, depends upon the use of
running water, therefore the activi-
ties must stop when the water con-
geals. Rather than spend the long
winter in the extreme cold, waiting
for the return of mild weather, a
large part of the population of Nome
has always returned to the States in
the fall, making the journey back to
the north in June, when navigation
opens.
The overnight creature of an I'M
usual gold discovery, the town grew
up on site that probably could not
have been worse fitted for a cOmmu-
nifty of human habitation. 1t is open
to the full sweep of the violent storms
and the heavy waves that often beat
in from the sea. 1t has a relatively
narrow beach and Immediately within
is strip of tundra, frozen solid in
winter, but a sea of mud during the
open season. In this mOrass the town
grew up. In the early days men and
animals flOundered through streets
that were knee-deep in mud. Later
the principal thoroughfares were
boarded over. Each summer fool
hardy newcomers built structures on
the beach only to have them wholly
destroyed by the blasts of September
when, almost without warning, huge
waves swept to the edge of the tundra
and often into the town itself
Gold was first discovered near Nome
in 1898. in one of the numerous creeks
that rise in the hills back of the town

in a communication to the National

as follows:

try besides fishing. Investigations con-
Quoted for the bureau of fisheries
years ago showed an intimate relation
between certain kinds of fishes and
the mussels, which yield valuable
pearls and support a pearl-button in
dustry which gives employment to
about 10000 persons, and has a prod
uct worth from $5,0OO,000 to $6,00O,
600 annually.
'The young mussels, Of microscopic
size when thrown off by their parents
in myriads, need to pass the first few
weeks of their Independent existence
on the gills of fish. If the fishes are
not present at the proper time, the
mussels cannot survive. Furthermore
and this is a most interesting fea-
ture of the cooperation of fishes and
mussels-the young of particular kinds
of musselS require the gills of par
ticular kinds of fishes as nurseries.
1.-THE black bass is host for several
sorts of mussels, the crappies for sew
eral others, the catfish for others. The
sdp-jack, kind of herring, is the only
known host for the best Of all mus
sells; and as this fish is not by any
means abundant, its maintenance is of
prime importance to the welfare of the
button industry. In 1919 more than
one and half million skip-jacks were
rescued.
''The peculiar requirements Of the
young mussels having been carefully
determined, the bureau of fisheries has
gone extensively into the business Of
artificial propagation of pearly mus
sells by a method which is a vast i'm
provement on nature. The spawning
mussels, held in ponds, are at the criti-
cal period provided with the special
fishes needed for the attachment Of
the young.
1.-THE fishes obtained in the rescue
operations are turned into the ponds
at the time the mussels are spawning
and become thickly inoculated. They
are then liberated in the open water
and distribute themselves and the mus
sells throughout a wide stretch Of river.
Thus two important branches Of the
bureaus work go hand in hand"

RUSSIA: THE HEIRESS OF
FAMINES

Never, in civilized times, have so
many old-world nations felt the pinch
of hunger at once; yet suffering from
want of food is no hew story to many
of them. Especially has Russia been
the luckleSs heir to periods Of near
starvation.
Writing to the National Geographic
society, Ralph A. Graves tells Of Rus
sian famines Of the past as follows:
Next to the prOletariat Of India
and China, the Russian peasant has
felt the pinch of poverty and hunger
more keenly and more frequently than
any other citizen on earth.
Zone of the earliest famines in Rus
sia of which there is any definite rec
ord was that of 1900, which continued
for three years, with death toll of
100000 peasants. Cats, dogs and rats
were eaten; the strong overcame the
weak, and in the shambles of the pub
lie markets human flesh was sold. Null
titudes of the dead were found with
their mouths stuffed with straw.
'"Three Russian famines of compare
lively recent date were among the
most severe in the history of the coun-
try. They occurred in 1891, 1906 and
1911. During the ten years following
the first of these periods of dearth
the government allotted nearly $685.
100000 for relief work, but the sums
were not always judiciously expended.
'In 1906 the government gave 40
pounds Of -four a month to all persons
under eighteen and over ffty-nine
years of age. All peasants between
those ages and infants under one year
of age received no allowance, and it
became necessary for the younger and
older members of the family to share
their bare pittance with those for
whom no provision was made. The
suffering was intense and the mortal
ity exceedingly heavy, but the avail
able statistics are not wholly reliable.
''The famine of 1911 extended over
one-third of the area of the empire in
Europe and affected more or less d.
rectly 30,000,000 people, while 8,000,-
600 were reduced to starvation. Weeds,
the bark Of trees, and bitter bread
made from acorns constituted the
chief diet for the destitute. This was
unquestionably the most widespread
and most severe famine that has be-
fallen a European nation in modern
times.

MEXICO'S SKYSCRAPER
PYRAMID

A pyramid that may rival those of
Egypt, for size, and prove to be even
older than the Nilesian piles, recently
was found at Teotihuacan, Mexico.
Long ago two other pyramids, relics
of the Toltec people Of pre- Columbian
times, were discovered among the vol
canic ashes around San Juan Teoti-

Mexico City.
Excavation Of the new pyramid may

knowledge of these American pyramid
builders, members Of a bygone race.
