definition of a pseudo SCIENCE A
pSeudo-science consists of a nomencla-

by which all positive evidence, or such
as favprs its doctrines, is admitted, and
all negative evidence, or such as tells
against it, is excluded. It is invariably
connected with some lucrative practical
application. It's professors and, prac-
titionerS are usually shrewd people;
they are very serious with the public
but wink and laugh good deal among
themselves. The believing multitude
consists of women of both sexes, feeble
minded inquirerS,S poeticai ! optimists,
people who always get cheated in buy
ing horses, philanthropists who insist
on hurrying up the millennium, and
others of this class, with here and there

(By Ernest Walker Sawyer>

Alaska is a very great country
 Ii you place a map of Alaska or
 map of continental United States the northern part of Alas
 ka will fall over into Canada the southeastern part of Alaska will extend to Florida, and some of the western sections of Alaska will fall into Southern California
 Alaska extends from 13O degrees west to 173 east longitude, cover ing a total of 57 degrees longi- tude. Continental United States, from Seattle to Jacksonville, ex- tends from 123 degrees west to 8l degrees west, or a total of only AZ degrees longitude
 In other words these are IS de- grees more longitude B per cent more-in Alaska than continent al United States. Longitude mea- surments, as you know, are east ana west measurements.
 Now, the north and south com paIisons are almost as amazing. Seattle is 47 degrees north lati- tude and Jacksonville is 30 degrees degrees north. That is a total of north; Los Angeles is about 34 only r degrees in latitude from northern continental United Sates to Florida.
 Alaska, on the other hand, ex- tends from 51 degrees north to 72 degrees north, or a total of 21 degrees of latitude 23 per cent more latitude. This shows why Alaska can have within it's huge boundaries a great variety of eli mate.
 Tn some sections of Alaska the annual rainfall is 200 inches, while in others it is only 10 or 12 inches High up on Mt. Mckinley it is always cold, while in some parts it seldom ever has a frost.
 The summer temperatures at Fairbanks are similar to those of The winter tenpera- lures at Seward are like those of The annual temperatures of Juneau are very much like those of Washington, D. O.; but Juneau has more fog in summer than Washington.
 Let us return to our measure mentS again. The first Alaskan town you come to after 45 hours boat trip from Seattle Is the busy fishing center of Ket- chikan. Ketchikan is 600 miles vest of Seattle It is also 60u miles north of Seattle.

R|G COMPANIES ARE ATTRACTED ID sT!K|NE

Arthur Skelhorne who last year
 headed party of seven who put in a season of systematic prospecting in the Stikine area for the mining cOrpOratiOn of Canada, arrived in Wrangell recently with more pros pectorS. They left for the Stikine river region and will take up the work where it stopped at the end of last season.
 Mir. Skelhorne and the Mining Corp, of Canada, which he repre- sents, were attract1d to the Stikine thru reports made by Dr. Forrest A. Kerr of the Canadian Geological Survey. As result of last seasons prospecting one major discovery was made. There were also other ore discoveries which will be fol- lowed up with further prospecting
 this year.
 MT. Skelhorne states that last season evidences of naturalization were found everywhere his party prospcted. He is confident that Dr. kerr's report on the district will be borne out and that it is only a matter of short time until strikes will open up some enormous ore bodies in the Stikine area.
