1,120 MILES
IN 38 DAYS
VALDEZ. Jan. 3? A1 C. Bailey
mushed Into Valdez yesterday, .18
days out of Nome .having walked ev
ery foot of the way. This is probab
ly the record mush for that Journey.
The distance from Nome to Valdez
by the winter trail is about 1.120
miles, so that Mr. Bailey made just
a fraction less than 30 miles a day.
.Mr. Bailey is a marine engineer i
and has been running on small steam
ers around Nome for several years, j
On the way up the Yukon Mr. Bai
ley met several men just out of the
Iditarod and heard all the gossip on
the way that had been brought out
by anybody. He says the best opin
ion of the Idltarod seems to be that
it is a very promising caiup and that
most of the knocking is done .by
campflre prospectors of the class who
go into every new district expecting
to find the gold piled on top of the
ground.
Albert Reinert returned on the Cot
tage City from a trip to Seattle, where
he went on business and pleasure
combined. Mr. Reinert Is consider
ably improved in health by his sea
voyage and feels much better than
when he left.

How Fish Change Color.
Id n lecture at tlie Koyul Photo
graphic society's exhibition L)r. Fran
cis Ward said that the power of cer- |
! tain ilsh to change their color iu bar
moD.v with their environment resided
io their optic nerve. lie placed a pike 1
in such a position that its bead was in <
a dark chamber while the rest of its '
body lay iu bright sunshine. The pike :
remained black in color, but wbeu he
reversed its position nud caused its
bead to be in the sunlight its color -
changed to a very much lighter hue
within the space of a few minutes. '
The light acted upon the optic nerve. i
thus causing the pigment cells all over
the skin to contract or relax.? London

Military Tactics.
So far as history gives us any In- j
formation on the subject, the father of
"tactics," iu the military sense, was :
the great Theban General Epaminou- I
das, who at the famous battle of ;
Leucfra. B. C. 371. fought between the j
Thebans and Spartans, for the tlrst I
time Introduced the scientific mode or :
fighting. Prior to that time the uni
versal rule was for the opposing
armies to face each other and tight it
out by sheer brute force and bulldog ;
tenacity without auy particular re
gard for scientific principles.? New
York American.
Swallowed His Model.
"Object" drawing has brought a new ;
anxiety into the schools, lu certain j
districts youngsters may be seen inov- 1
ing schooiward with hatcbets. carvers,
hammers, chisels, etc.. as material for
their drawiug lessons. The other day, ;
just as oue of these lessons was about
to begin, a small boy was found stand
ing tearfully at the headmaster's desk.
"I've swallowed my object," he ex
plained, with nn alarming gulp.
"What was it?" asked the master
anxiously.
"A banana." replied the would be
artist, with a final gulp.? Loudon Fun.
