Scarcely a day passes but in- quiries are received by dele gate Wickersham as to the status of a presumed bill that would create a game sanctu- ary or bear reserve on Admir- alty or Chichagof Islands, Alaska. Many of these inquiries come from Senators and Repre- sentatives from New York, Massachusetts, and the New England states. No such bill has been introduced in Cong ress but there is considerable propaganda contained in vari- ous phases of literature that is being circulated among those interested in wild game life.

Why Drought of 193O

Doctor Humphreys of the weather bureau says that in 1030 such large amount of cold air rushed over Europe causing unusually great rainfall there, the abnormal flow of polar air in that direction withdrew much of the pres sure that causes currents to move down the usual American paths. Much of it was dssipated in Canada, causing a wet season there. The United States was therefore blanketed with warm air. In many sections 1t was heavy with moisture. but the necessary cold air currents required to produce rain did not arrive from the north.

Two bills affecting Alaska have been passed by Congress and approved by the president. One revises the boundaries of Mount Mckinley National Park and the other appropriates $30,00O to defray the expense of participation by the govern ment in the Second Polar Year program from August 19- 32, to August, 1883. Most of this money is to be expended in connection with the erection and maintenance of a station at Fairbanks.

Why Pine Trees Remain
 Green Through Winter

Foliage of pine trees and other con- iferous evergreens remains green throughout the winter because the needles or leaves are protected against low temperatures, says Pathfinder Mag azine. In the development of plant life through evolution these trees sur vived by adapting themselv IS to with stand the adverse growing conditions of their environment. Leaves are green because the predominant pig ment In them Is chlorophyll. the sub stance which enables plants to manu- facture food from water and oxygen. The foliage of ordinary declduous trees is not adapted to withstand low temperatures and in the fall the chlO- rophyll is converted into a colorless product. This exposes other pig ments, particularly carotin and xan. thophyll. and the result is the beau tifully colored foliage characteristic of the season. The needles of the pine trees correspond In function to the leaves of deciduous trees and the green element in them is protected from injury both by their tough ex- teriors anu by the arrangement of the water molecules in the protoplasm of the cells. There are conf erOus ever greens in warm climates which are not protected to the same exten, and they are likel, to be damaged or killed by temperatures lower than that to which they are used

WHY- Auto Drivers Should Take
 Rigid Visual Tests

Red and green were chosen for the stop and go signals of our traffic sys- tenn probably because they had been used for years in maritime traffic to indicate the port and lee side of ships, says a recent bulletin of the Better Vision institute. And the req son for their use at sea was that even before the days of science, the rays of red and green lights were found by experience to pierce fogs and mists better than the rays of other lights. But it Is unfortunate that the most common form of color blindness is the confusion of red and green, eight persons out of every hundred, according to recent sur vey, being unable to distinguish be- tween the two.
 "When men for generations were accustomed to living and working out of-doors," continues the bulletin, "cOl- or blindness was more rare. Red and green for ships lights could be distinguished by almost anyone, and even if mistake were made the con- sequences were not as disastrous as they are today on land. in this age of speed Color blindness explains why great many accidents occur in which motorists have driven through signal lights. That Is one of many reasons visual tests for driving H. censes should be more rigid than they are. Only ten states have adequate laws requiring such tests today. and it is only question of time until the 90 major automobile catastrophes day force the other states to simi- lar measures"

Why a "Cloudburst"

Rain falls during rainfall, but clouds do not burst when there is a "cloud- burst. United States weather bureau experts say that sometimes strong up- ward currents of air hold raindrops up from underneath and prevent them from promptly reaching the ground Then the drops gather in much larger quantities than they usually do. When the upward air currents lessen, or so much water accumulates that the air cannot support it, there occurs the deluge of rain that we call a cloud burst.

Washington, D. C., March 21, 1882.

Delegate Wickersham has been informed that the House Joint Resolution providing for an appropriation of $30,000to defray the expenses of partic- ipation by the government in the Second Polar Year pro- gram, August 1, 1882, to Aug ust 31, 1883, is likely to pass the Senate and thus become a law. Most of this money will be used to erect and maintain a station at Fairbanks. Accord ing to the plan there are to be some 80 stations established throughout the world, support ed by various governments of the world. Our government is allotted a station at or near Fairbanks, Alaska. The idea is that at an instantaneous mo- ment throughout the world the whole 80 stations will take ob- servations, so that when all the data is gathered together the station in Alaska can say what happened at that particular day at that particular minute, and the other stations of the world will be able to say what happened at their stations at that particular place and that particular moment. It could not be done with such accuracy 50 years ago, when the other polar year was held, but by reason of the radio can now be brought to the very instant. Thus when the station in Alas ka says that the polar lights appeared at a certain time and certain things happened, the stations of the world can say what happened by virtue of those polar lights at their par ticular station.

Why Shock Cauaes Death

The reason why an ordinary low volt of electricity like the no volt ordl- narily used for house lighting can kill people Is explained in Modern Mechan- ics and Inventions Magazine. What the low voltage does is to shock the heart so that muscles of that organ begin 10 quiver continually causing what physicians call fibrilation.

Why Moon Is Irregular

The moons orbit around the earth is not a perfect circle. The irregu- larity in the intervals of the moons rising on successive days is due to two causes. namely: The eccentricity of the moons orbit, and the variation of the moons declination. If the moon moved in circular orbit in the plane of the earth's equator. 1t would rise each day 501a minutes later than on the day before.

NINE FLEE AS HOME BURNS
Early Morning Blaze Cuts John.
son Residence on Kent Island

Nine persons narrowly escaped
being burned to death early Thurs
day morning when the home of
Cleveland Johnson, in Crab Alley
Neck, on Kent Island, was destroy
ed by fire together with all their
clothing and practically all Of the
household goods. The occupants
of the building were Cleveland
johnson and Mrs. Johnson; their
sons, Carl, IS; Page, Is and Roslyn
10; their daughter, Mrs. Harry
Baker, of Baltimore; their son-in-
law, Harry Baker, and two small
Baker children. The fire was dis
covered by Carl Johnson, who was
sleeping in a room in the rear of
the dwelling and awoke to find the
room filled with smoke and in
flames. He aroused other members
of the household, who were forced
to escape in their night clothes.
Among the articles of furniture
saved were two iron safes, which
Mr.. johnson moved to the yard
without assistance. The alarm of
fire was sounded in Centreville a
few minutes after A. M. and the
Good Will Fire Company made the
run, 20 miles distant, as quickly as
possible, but the house was DOOM
ed and the firemen found it impos-
sible to save it from destruction.
They were, however, able to save a
number of nearby buildings, that
were several times in danger. Inc
Baker family was spending some
time as the guests Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnson.
