Hnmboldt Cannot Carry
Pnrser's Mail
The purser o' the Humboldt has baen
compelled to cease carrying jletter mail
from Alaskan points to Seattle, Com
plaint ?u mads by the postmaster at
Wrangell, it is understood, whoje salary
is regulated by the stamp* cancelled,
and the mail authorities have notified
the Humbold: Steamship Corapiov to
cease the practice of accommodating
the people of AU?ka.
Capt. Baughmsn. of the Humboldt,
>ay< tsis company ha^ done all within
its power to secure a mail contract ?
not, particularly for the money there is
in it. but as a matter of convenience to
the patrons of the sh;p in the North.
He says, however, that the company
could not consistently take a contract
for a iess amount than is paid the other
companies ? the Alaaka Steamshipl
Campany, for instance for the same
service. The company was offered a
sum much leis than the ptr trip
paid the Alaska Steamship Company to
carry the mail, but it was refused.
The refusal was accompanied, however,
by an offer to carry the mail for noth- !
ing. This off^r the government has
refused.
It haa been suggested that the Cham
bers of Commerce and other organiza
tions throughout Alaska take up the
matter at once and enr)eavo<* to secure
some errangement by which the Hum
boldt could carry mail both to and from
Alaska.
Last winter T.M. D.iulton. the Windy
.Arm mioing man and Seattle business
man. said the Seattle Chamber of Com
merce and >eattle Commercial Club,
would act with Alaskans in any effort
to improve the mail service, and he
suggested that an effort shout.) be made
to get a mail contract for the Humboldt.

No bird. so far us known records
show, has ever alighted on a kite or
at'ackcd one. While a scientist was
flying n train of live kites some years
ago a large silver tpped eagle came
suddenly out of the liigh^ air and
swooped rental ami round the first kite,
looking against the sunset -l;y like a
huge silver ball. As the train of kites
?was pulled in the eagle followed, visit
ing one kite and then another, seem
ing uncertain just what to do. In a
few minutes, when he seemed to have
tleehled that they were not good to
eat ami he knew nothing about them,
anyway, be indignantly flew off and
was lost to x v.. While the scientist's
I kites were high in the air one March
docks of geese Hying hi i ae wedge tlew
over. They Invariably stopped, broke
up. hovered above the queer object
and at las: si .wlv reformed and flew
away. While the larger birds all come
from height* the kite, the small
birds of the air will alight on the
String holding the kite and sway to

According to a foreign correspondent
of the geological survey at Washing
ton, among the most interesting fea
tures f the small island of Billlton,
between Sumatra aiul Borneo, an Is
land long famous for its rich tin mines,
controlled by the Dutch government,
are the "glass halls of Billlton." found
among the tin ore deposits. These nat
ural glass balis are round, with grooved
surfaces. Similar phenomena are oc
casionally found in Borneo and Java
as* well as In Australia. The corre
spondent ouo cil thinks they cannot be
artificial, and there are no volcanoes
near enough t?> si: pon :be theory that
they are volcanic bombs. Besides. It
Is claimed, the gla- sv rocks produced
by the nearest volcanoes are <inite dif
ferent in their nature from the mate
rial or the balls. It is suspected that
the mysterious objects were ejected
ages ago from the volcanoes of the
moon and afterward fell upon the
earth.
"Caracul"? Iti Etj molotfr.
I have often l>een asked for the ety
mology of "caraeul." which Is a term
naw largely used by furriers to denote
a variety of the fur called astrakhan.
The new English dictionary does not
contain caracul, but It has caracal,
which Is liable to be confused with It.
though really quite a different word.
The caracal Is an animal, but caracul,
like tiie nearly synonymous term, as
trakhan. Is the name of a place? Kara
Kul? I. e., the Black lake, near Bok
hara. which has long been celebrated
for Its output of furs. The earliest
reference 1 can find to It in English Is

The evening was spent in visiting and
in hearing of Mrs. Feero's trip to the

So many people have requested the

which every one is inri'ed. There will
