An Indian mummy, at least 1,000 years old, the gift of Mr.
J. P. Morgan to the American Museum of Natural History, New
York City, was X-rayed at the Museum in an effort to determine
its state of preservation. When unearthed it was covered entirely
■with dust and stones containing anhydrous sulphate of eo.pper.
which prevented the organic matter from disintegrating. The
mummy of King Tut-Ankh-Amen will be X-rayed in a similar
manner.

MANY GUESTS ENJOY
SCENIC ALASKA TRIP
AT GOVERNOR’S HOUSE
Mare than 40 ipersons took a scenic
trip through Alaska with M. B. Sum
mers at the Governor's Mansion last
night, me in bars of the Legislature
and friends who were guests of Gov.
an1 Mrs. Scott C. Bone. Dr. C. C.
Calvert, of the Weather Bureau,
made a short talk on the weather of
Alaska.
In arriving at the value oT riches
Alaska has poured into the lap of
the United States, something in ex
cess of U,000,000,000, said Dr. Cal
vert. there has been left out some
thing as valuable, if not more so,
than any other Alaskan product, and
that is Alaskan weather- .He de
scribed briefly the work of the bu
reau’s stations in Alaska under Mr.
Summers by means oif which storms,
sweeping down from the north across
Canada and the West, or down from
the Gulf of Alaska through the North-1
western States, are accurately fore
cast. The warnings issued from
these forecasts, he said, have been
the means of saving millions of dol
ors of perishables and growers of
fruits, vegetables, etc. The storms
themselves, hringers ot cold weather
ind snow, are harbingers of good and
issitre more bountiful crops, he said.
Mr. Summers took his audience
from Juneau to nearby glaciers, the
top of Mt. Roberts, Cordova, over
the trail through Keystone Canyon
it Valdez to Paxe'on, south of Isa
belle Pass on the Richardson High
way; 'then back to the coast and
by water to Seward and out over the
Alaska Railroad to the famous loop
section; down the Alaska Peninsula
tin the Unalga, visiting old trading j
boats, Indian villages, seal harems in
the Prfbllof Island rockeries, in the
’ield where the seal are killed; north
,o Nome to a Fourih of July cele
bration; across the straits to Si
beria, visiting Anadyr and vicinity;
back by the littile and big Diomedes, I
ip the northwestern coast of Alaska '
by Teller, Wainwright, to Point Bar
■>w; returning south and up the
fakon River by St. Michael, Holy
Iross, Tanana, Eagle, Dawson andj
Whitehorse; a glimpse of Whitehorse I
Haipids and Miles Canyon concluding!
the voyage.
As the scenes were thrown on the!
screen, Mr. Summers gave a running j
larrative description of each. The|
’.ollection is well arranged and con-j
tains many fine photographs.
After the entertainment was con
cluded, delicious punch and cake
were served ito the guests.
SOMETHING NEW IN FURS
A cross between a cat and a pine
uarten ts ibe latest fur freak to
nake its appearance in Alaska In
cidentally it has opened a new field
’or propagators of fur. "Shorty"
Hunter, who has a ranch 12 miles
from here, is the possessor of the
tnartenHOU. Last year Hunter cap
tured two baby martens and domesti
cated them. He allowed the female
to run at large in the cabin where
tie also had as a pet a large tomcat.
The result was a peculiar triangle
scandal wherein "Shorty” became
the possessor of a marten that
promises to grow to the dimensions,
if a cat. and which would give a!
aelt in excess of -the standard 24-Inch j
skin.—(Anchorage Times.)
