ENGINEERS PLAN' TO
IMPROVE YUKON
Washington, June 2—The board
cf engineers of the United States
i.rmy have recommended _an appro
priation of $45,000 for improve
ments to the mouth of the Yukon
river. *—
The plan of the engineers is to
remove the shoal and widen and
straighten the channel so as to
ti'm the mouth of the river into the
Pu&tolik river, and to dredge a
channel through a hogback a short
distance beyond the mouth of the
river so as to provide a six-foot
channel 300 feet wide.
RIOT OF POSTAGE STAMPS.;
A Room and Its Furniture Literally
Covered With Them.
Within easy walking distance of the
old cathedral town of Chichester, Eng
land, Is tho Rising Sun, in North
Berated, n house of Interest to nil who
collect stamps, for the little Inn con
tains n room that Is covered, every
inch of It, with postage stamps!
Ceiling, walls, doors, chairs, tables, ,
picture frames—nil parts of the room j
except the floor—are thickly covered, |
while from the celling hang long fes- .
toons and ropes mado of bundles of !
stamps for which there was no other !
room. There nroTully 2.O00,000 stamps j
pasted up and 1,000.000 more in these '
festoons, while great bundles, one of j
which holds 00,000 stamps, hang amoug
the heavy loops.
But It Is not only the amazing num
ber of stamps that attracts the visi
tor's attention. There Is evidence on
all sides of great ingenuity. The pic
tures inside the stamp covered frames
are of stamps themselves. The ceiling
is ornamented with a great star. The
arms of the neighboring town of Bog
nor are over the fireplace and the
tablecloth shows the EilTel towerl
Queen Victoria Is surprisingly lifelike
In carefully clmsen stamps of different
colors. The Prince of Wales' feathers
and the crown are al<o represented.
Most of the stamps are penny English
stamps, but there are others from all
over the world. One door Is a bright
yellow, covered entirely with the Swan
Kiver stamps of Western Australia.
It is all the work of the landlord,
who, already a st::mp c •Hector, thought
of this as an nmu-ln? way of disposing

Music of the Spheres.
The anciems were of the opinion that
the planets in their movement through
space produced severally the seven
notes of the gamut. This music, it was
contended, was imperceptible to human
ears on account of the fact that it was
too powerful for our heariug. Others
held that men did not bear it simply
because they were so used to it. just as
we do not notice the roar of tho city
from our constant familiarity with it.
The renl "music of the spheres" is
purely intellectual, lying in the great
and splendid fact of the universe of
law and order.
