BAD WEATHER IN INTERIOR MAY HAVE
 FORGED REEVE DOWN

Considerable anxiety has been felt at Anchorage since Wednesday when KFQD was notified from Nome of the failure of Pilot Bob Reeve, Seward aviator, to arrive from Me Grath.
 Accompanying him were Mi and Mrs. O. Hay of Nome, and two small children, four-year old and a baby but a few months old.
 Pilot Reeve was not one to take chance and it is the Seward opinion that Reeve set down some place upon running into bad weather which is reported from Interior points.
 Pilot Reeve and passengers left Seward late Sunday morning for Anchorage where they remained overnight and where extra supplies were slowed in the plane Monday morning they took wing for Me Grath where they remained all night. Tuesday morning Reeve hopped off for Nome and failed to arrive. Today makes the third day without word from him.
 In the interim every aviator in the Interior, every Signal Corps station and operator and every
 
 intended to follow, have been mo- tified of the circumstances with instructions to be on the alert.
 Pilots Matt Nieminen and Harry Blunt, flying for the Pacific Alas ka AirWays, flew over a great area ysterday but not a trace of Bob's plane was seen. Similar flights will be made today.

Everyday Psychology
Infant Prodigies.
BY DIR. JESSE W. sPRowLs,

What is the explanation of infant
prodigy? Merely this: As a general
statement we may say that the mind
OF the prodigy natures more rapidly
than the average mind. And then we
might go further and say that this
maturing is due to the presence of a
greater number Of brain cells in the
case Of the prodigy than is found in
the average.
The average number of cells in the
human brain Is now established to be
about 10000, 100000. The theory is
that ones mental powers depend upon
the way these brain cells hook up.
1t Is known pretty definitely that
these brain cells do hook up one with
another. These "hook-ups" are respon-
sible for your ability to remember facts
and to associate facts. Thus your stock
OF usable knowledge or mental power
you may readily put into action.
1t may be that infant prodigies
possess, say 15,00O,0 600, 900 or 10000
100000 cells in their brains to start
with. If that Is SO, the explanation of
a prodigy is fairly simple-providing
you accept the theory of "hook-ups"
Some of these days the brain special
lists will solve this riddle. First they
must find ways and means for count
ing the brain cells accurately. And
then they must find brains to work on.
And this would mean post-mortem. ex-
aminations of brain tissue and Hgid
comparisons Of personal histories.

This letter tells a story of an un-
usual pet. In a recent Corner article,
I remarked that crows are among the
smartest OF all birds.
H. H. Allyn writes me a letter
about crows" of different kind, the
Crow Indians!
"On July 3, 1882" he says, three
of us young fellows drove down Crow
Creek to the Missouri River, then up
the old Fort Thompson trail. We were
eating our supper when we heard what
sounded like a base drum about half
mile away. Of course we had to find
out what 1t was all about
I'VE started toward the noise and
came to an old log building, with no
floor. Squatted on the ground around
the room were about so Crow Indians,
dressed in war togs, feathers and paint.
Sometimes a few Indians would get up
and dance, stamping around to the beat
OF a drum. Sometimes all of them
would get up and dance"
Mr.. Allyn and his comrades were
fortunate TO be able to see those In
dians go through their oldtime dance.
There are times when Indians give
dances for tourists land for money!
but the Crow dance was a private af-
fair, not intended for visitors.

POCKET GOPHER.


Geomys bursarius.
TINE pocket gopher is a vexing
problem Of the farmer and
orchardist. There are about rs
i species and subspecies in the
United States. With such a
large group, the gopher has always
been able to worry planters and fruit
growers. Pocket gophers are strict
Vegetarians and live on roots, tubers,
grass and the succulent parts Of plants.
They refuse drink in every form. The
upper front tooth, or incisor, Is most
important, as it enables the gopher to
get firm hold on his food, while the
lower incisor does the most Of the
work. He is a rapid worker and bites
on the piece to be cut of as fast as an
electric drill, passing the cutoff piece
quickly to his mouth.
As gophers have very poor eyesight,
they depend on touch, taste and smell
in selecting their food; In each cheek
there is an external hair lined pouch,
their market basket. and enough food
for a good meal can be collected and
stored in one-half minute.
Pocket gophers do not hibernate and
they have one set Of children year,
the number usually being from two to
six. They are naked when very young
and nave beautiful pinkywhite COM
plexion. They are round-headed and
hold their little front feet across their
breasts like wee helpless infants. At
this time both eyes and ears are sealed.
They are born in nice, clean nursery
that is lined with fresh soft grass.
They grow fast and soon are covered
with the dull chestnut brown coat, re-
sembling their parents. They have q
white-tipped tail and white feet. From
babyhood gophers are pugnacious and
fight every animal they meet and will
attack man who comes too close to
them.
Gophers apparently make burrows
that never end. Year after year they
add to the long tunnels. The crooked
Railways follow the roots, and many
