ABAXDOX HERSCHELL IS.
Vancouver, Nov. 29—The mounte
police poet at Herschell island has
been abandoned for this winter, and
the detachment of four men and fiv
dogs may be compelled to drop back
on Fort McPherson. The steamer
Belvedere, wnich sailed from Nome
last July w!!h provisions for Her
schell, never reached its destina
tion, and it is feared it has met
with disasfe' or is frozen in the ice.
Efforts are being made to locate
the missing vessel. The police
patrol will leave Dawson about
Christmas w'tji a dot; team and the
mail for Fort McPherson. It will
stay tea days a.id return to Daw
son iu in March. It is scarcely
probable the patrol n ili be abl? to
communicate swtiu any of the Stef
anssou's party.

ECCENTRICITY OF GENIUS.
In the Days That Are Gone It May
Have Cusn Cue to Eye Strain.
It seems t;.:it :it last geultis Is dis
covered not t:> he allied to insauity, but
tliat rather all its eccentricities are due
to eye strain.
Brain specialists, for instance, are as
serting tlint if Carlyle hail bad proper
ly adjusted glasses and good electric
light to work by instead of a skylight
over his desk, and that Illumined by a
London fog much of tbe time, be
would not have been such a grumbler
and dyspeptic. In fact, eve strain was
the cause of all his eccentricities.
All geniuses, in fact, would have
been optimistic, says science now. If
they had only had bifocal glasses at
the right time. The same unnormal
eyesight Is gUeti as the cause of many
tragic paintings. That famous artist
Turner, would never have painted the
slave ship in a storm, but would rather
have depicted the peaceful landscapes
that so many artists paint,when their
eyes are properly fitted with glasses.
Wairner. too. if he had worn the cor
rect spectacles and had had that decid
ed tilt to one eye remedied, probably
would never have written about Wal
kyrle and dragons, but would have
written pleasant dances and even
ragtime instead.
Darwin also was another victim of
eye strain. Doubtless be would never
have given to the world his theory of
evolution which stirred society up if
his eyes had been normal.
De Quinivy suffered from bad eyes.
Surely he would never have taken
opium if he had had glasses. But
then, on the other hand, the world
would havp missed his opium dreams.
And. after all is considered, scientists
conclude society could better dispense
with spectacles than with geniuses.—

COOK WITHOUT FIRE.
New Zealand Maoris Prepare Their
Food In Nature's Kitchens.
The Maoris of northern New Zea
land enjoy cooked food to a far great
er extent than other natives, but they
never bother with tire. They build
their huts on the edge of some "friend
ly" geyser, where they may cook In
nature's kitchen. The methods of this
primitive people living in so strange
a neighborhood are described by Mas
Here In "New Zealand."
On a spot which superstition would
associate with dentil and the devil the
huts of about 200 Maoris lie scattered
—the remnant of the once warlike tribe
of Tnbourangl. It Is lucky that these
simple folk need uo kitchen, for na
ture has built for them the best of all
cookiug appliances and saved them
endless trouble with the stove, gas
company or coal merchant
A pond of boiling water lies In the
middle of the settlement. In this the
Maori woman puts her water kettle to
boil or hangs the wide meshed flax
bag filled with potatoes and waits un
til they are cooked. True, the potatoes
cooked in their skins taste a little of
sulphur, but that is the right flavor for
a Maori palate—the baut gout for the
brown gourmet.
For the cooking of meats the fuma
roles, or holes through which steam
escapes from the ground, are used. A
box with a wooden grating for a bot
ton is placed on the ground over the
hole. In this the Maori woman places
the meat, well covered with tin or iron
pots. An old sugar bag is then spread
over the box. and the crude apparatus
is left until the imprisoned steam has
completely cooked the Joint
A Famous Lampoon.
It Is banded down In tradition that
the caustic comment "he never says a
foolish thins nor ever does a wise one"
was written in Whitehall on the cham
ber door of King Charles IL The wit
who created the lampoon seems never
to have felt it quite prudent to estab
lish bis authorship, but there la ex
cellent reason to accord it to John
Wilmot, earl of Rochester. The text
of tbe inscription Is:
Here lies our sovereign lord the king.
Whose word no man relies on.
Ho never says a foolish thine
Nor ever does a wise one.

Bradshaw and the Months.
Although tbe provision "P. V." lias |
never figured on railway time tables. « j
close examination of Bmdshaw re
veals a trace of strong religious feel
ing. On the cover tbe months are re
ferred to by their numerals—"1st mo."
for January. "2d mo." for February,
and so on. Bradshaw as a Quaker ob
jected to taking the names of the
months from heathen emperors and
deities, and this prejudice has been
perpetuated since the first issue of tbe
time table in 1841.—London Answers.
PIONEER MIXING WOMAN
TAKING IN SUPPLIES
Mrs. Roso Johnson, the pioneer |
mining woman of Valdez, left this
morning with more supplies for her
property near the Valdez Glacier.
Mrs. Johnson has spent five thous
and dollars installing a mill which
is now completed and with the wa
ter power near the property harn
essed, will in a few weeks be at
work grinding the high grade ore
taken out during the summer.
Mrs. Johnson has worked without
attracting much attention and few
people knew of the property being
opened and of the erection of the
mill. She has taken up the great
est part of the machinery herself
with the aid of a team of big trail
dogs and has had a crew of from
two to eight men on the claims for
the past many months.—Valdez
