Do yo know that a white tailed
ptarmigan is worth one hundred dol
lars?
Do you know that a common
roustabout sea ;ull, If It happens to
havo some red feathers uuder its
wings, is worth fire hundred dot
Of course you don't, nor did we
unlil we read au account of the
Klleuschir.idt scientific expedition
which U uow touring Alaska. In or*
der to know these things and to
find tho market for scientific speci
mens, one should have a working
knowledge of botany, zoology, orni
thology and the various ologies
which mukn up a trained student of
natural history. The Seward Oatewry;
editor, wiio by the way was the only
editor In Alaska to witness tho
moon's (.vllpse at three o'clock in
the morning a few months ago, has
acquired a general fund of bug in
formation, and It Is from him that
we get the following facts.
Very f?"w people around these parts
r> a list that much of the Insect Ufe
that is wantonly troddeu under foot
is worth real money. Some of these
specimens ? wo dont pretend to
know which ones, or we'd be out
seeking them ? may be sold for as
lilfch as a dollar each. Others ad
valorem, bring from five cents up
to the dollar mark.
One of the bugologlsts who is :t
.Member of the ?xleinschmidt scien
tific expedition, gathered $35 worth
of bugs the day he landed from the
Abler. The succeeding day h>'
spent half of the time scouting a
bout and picked up $20 worth. But
this gentlemen knew what he want
mi, what It was when he found it
after he get It. There's the rub!
It might be Information to some
l-eople to know that a white tallod
ptarmigan Is worth a hundred dol
lars or more ? If you know wher<'
to sell It. Also, that an ordinary
looking sea-gull that happens to
have red feathers under its wings,1
will on rich you to the extent of five
hundred dollars ? If you know what
to do with the specimen after you
gel it. Very r&ro indeed is this pe
culiarly marked bird, but It exists
in nature and has been found in Al
aska. There may bo-some around
here for all we know, and sine? we
fouud out about their high value wo
ha\e* been keeping our weather eye
oj en for a sight of ono.
Another rare seagull, although
looking In nthor respects llko the
scavenger* which hang around tho
IfMiches is one possessing red feet
Museums will pay good money for
such a gull.
Alaska, from a scientific stand
point, Is utw and practically unex
Hotted. Specimens from It are
sought by museums throughout the
United States and in foreign lands.
But to ? "gage In the industry of
seeking rare species, you must be in
th? know, or your offort3 will provo
futile. j\ .'lttio knowledge Is worth
