MUSEUM NOW HAS FINE MODEL OF
 YUKON DOG SLED

Weighing only five ounces, and composed of 241 separate parts, a model Yukon sled recently acquired by the Territorial Museum is a masterpiece of the ivory carver art.
 The sled, which was made by a Diomede Island Eskimo, is con structed of black baleen (whale- bone) and white walrus ivory, each of which was used in way to enhance the beauty of the other Black runners have white sled-shoes and black frames have ivory pins, bolts and screw eyes. All of the 5l bolts and nuts are of ivory, tapped and threaded, yet no larger than would be found in an alarm clock.
 Although weighing less than a third of a pound, the sled is 19 inches long, 4 inches wide and ( inches high at the back. Its ex- treme lightness and flexibility causes one to wonder if plastic dogsleds aren't just around the corner.

 From Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, by Mary Baker Eddy: Christian Science, un- derstood, coincides with the Scrip lures, and sustains logically and demonstratively every point it pre- sents. Otherwise it would not be Science, and could not present it's proofs. Christian Science is neith- CT made up of contradictory aphor- isms nor of the inventions of those who scoff at God.
