WILD DOGS to::
IDE HUNTED
Seward, — Destruction, of the
large packs of ild dogs whichj in
fest the Alaskan peninsula from Un
alaska to NushagaJc is Bought by
Dr. L. French, mod leal officer for
the school at KanakanaJc, who Is
here attending tlie present term of
court Dr. French says he will
bring tiie matter to the attention of
the next territorial legislature whic
will be asked to provide a bounty
law) thereunder the dogs may be
killed, says the Dispatchj of Nov.
29. 1 •
The movement for th§ destruction
of the dogs is| supported by tie
claim that reindeer can be used
fi.r the same purposes of transporta
tion that, the dogs are used for.
It is oointed out that the destruc
tion of the dogs wuld permit the
reindeer to increase in number more
rapidly, thus furnishing ample
transportation as well as food aup
oly.
Native dogs breed rapidly, and'
although) these creatures are of
considerable value in the winteer
time as sled pullers the destruction
of animal life and an occasional hu
man being during the year out
weighs any good derived, accord
in c to Dr. French.
"No living animal can exist I
around the settlement in western |
Alaska except these large bands of'
dogs in which the weaker ones are
continually being killed off t>y the
stronger." said Dr. French.
"Hogs, chickens, sheep. or any
ctber domestic animal must be kept
behind strong fenoe anil cannot at
anv time be allowed to graze on, the
luxurient grass which abounds on
the range."
At the government hospital for
natives conducted at Kanakanak
many cses hve b§en treated where
severe injuries hare beenj caused by
the fangs op the wolf-like dogs,
whicb do not hes'Jate to attack wo
men and children when; driven by

MONSTER BLUE WHALES.
The Most Gigantic Creaturea Thi»
World Has Ever Known.
It has been said that the first duty of
a whale Is to be large. The blue whale
Is then the most successful whale, for
It is the largest creature which has
ever existed on tho earth or In its
waters. Even those extinct giant rep
tiles, the dinosaurs, which splashed
along the borders of the Inland seas of
Wyoming and Montana 3,000,000 years
ago, could not approach a blue whale
either In length or weight
lu 1903 a blue whale was weighed in
sections at Newfoundland. The animal
was seventy-eight feet long, thirty-five
feet around tho shoulders, the head
was nineteen feet in length and the
tail sixteen feet from tip to tip. The
total weight was sixty-three tons. The
flesh weighed forty tons, the blub
ber eight tons, the blood, viscera and
baleen seven tons and the bones eight
tons.
Exaggerated accounts of the size of
blue whales are current even In repu
table books on natural history, but tho
largest specimen which has yet been
actually measured and recorded Is
187 feet long, stranded a few years ago
upon the coast of New Zealand. It
must have weighed at least seventy
five tons.
Whales are able to attain such an
enormous size because their bodies are
supported by the water in which they
live. A bird is limited to the weight
which its wings can bear up In the nlr.
A land animal if It becomes too large
cannot hold its body off the ground or
readily move about and Is doomed to
certain destruction. But a whale has
to face none of these problems and can
grow without restraint.
Because whales live in a supporting
medium their young nre of enormous
size at birth, in some Instances the calf
being almost half the length of its
mother. I once took n twenty-five foot
baby, which weighed about eight tons,
from an eighty-live foot blue whale.—

UPRUSH OF THE SAP.
Force It Exerts In Its Mysterious Flow
Through the Plants.
Even now the causes which underlie
the great Upward How of sap In the
spring are not completely understood.
That the movement la accompanied by
considerable force has been demon
strated in a remarkable manner.
In the spring season, when the sap Is
rising with great vigor, the stem of a
grapevine was cut right across. With
as little loss of time as possible n piece
of bladder was tied over the surface of
the wounded part As fixed the blad
der was In a state of collapse, but It
did not remain In this condition long.
Within half an hour it was obvious
that It contained a good deal of liquid.
As time went on the amount of flul 1
matter increased so much that the
bladder was quite full. Two hours
after Using the bladder was so dis
tended that It was lifted right up. An
hour later the pressure had increased
to such a degree that the bladder
burst, being uuable to stand the strain
any longer.
In this connection It Is Interesting to
recall the experiment of Putrochet,
also with a grapevine stem. In this
case a bent tube containing mercury
was affixed to the cut stem in such a
manner that any fluid coming from the
plant would have to lift the column of
quicksilver. In one of his experiments
It was shown that the sap raised the
column of mercury to the height of
thirty Inches. Dutrochet calculated
that In such a case the force exercised
by the sap was five times greater than
that of the blood In the crural artery
of the horse. It requires no student of
anatomy to appreciate the force of this
statement.—Baltimore American.
Fixing the Meat Chopper.
Before fastening the chopper to the
table place a piece of sandpaper large
enough to go under both clamps, rough
side up, on the table; screw the chop
per up tight and you will not be both
ered with clamps working loose.
