Have you any idea of the exteut
of the Alaska coast line? The
shores ef the territory are washed
by three great oceans. These are
the Arctic ocean ou the north, Ber
1-5 aea on the wesf and the Pacific
ct the south. The Aleutian is
land >, off the Alaska peninsula, are
separated from each other ami the
mainland by a network of rocky
■traits, and much of Southwestern
and Southeastern Alaska Is made
up of mountainous islands that hav<
rocks of all shapes and sizes. The
islands are really the tops of
mountains half lost in the waters.
They rise in spires and cathedrals,
some of which -re thousands of
feet above the water and others hid
den beneath it, lyinj; there cou
cealqd and ready to rip open the
hulls of ships as the icebergs ripped
the Titauic. The extent of the Al
aska coast, with its windings, sur
passes that of the Uuited States
proper. It is greater than that of
all ouj states on the Pacific from
Puget sound to the boundary of
Mexico, added to that of our states
on tae Atlantic, including the Gulf.
All told, it is more than 26,000
mi]'? long, or longer than tHo dis
tance arcund the world at the
equator, and, it proportion to its
length, it has perhaps more dangers
than any coast line on earth. Never
theless, not one-half of it has yet
been sounded by the coast survey
vessels, and more than half of the
general coast line is not marked by
lights or by any aids to navigation.
—Christian Herald.
The necessity of lowering the iu
come tax exemption to $2,000 is
patriotically advocaed by all having
incomes of >1,999 and under.
All unbiassed minds are of course
convinced that these fires in muni
tions plants are caused by spon
taneous combustion and matches
gMawed by mice.
The National Guard can be suc
cessfully used for defence in case
of war, merely by asking permis
sion of 4S governors and state leg
islatures every time an order Is
issued.
The high price of eggs again
raises the question why more peo
Dle don't keen hens. It is so very
inexpensive for them to get therr
living from their neighbors' back
