ALASKA PEAT IS
TO BE TESTED
| Studies of Alaska peat moss
j are planned by the bureau of
chemistry and soils of the
United States department of
agriculture, according to ad
vices received by Governor
George A. Parks, whohas been
asked to obtain samples of the
mosses through territorial and
federal agencies and private
individuals. The forest serv
ice, Alaska Agricultural Col
lege, Alaska railroad and other
agencies have been asked to
cooperate in assembling samp
les for complete studies.
Specifications have been sent
to the governor and anyone
desiring to submit moss for
tests can obtain the specificat
ion sheets from the governor’s
office, forest service, or the ag
ricultural college at Fairbanks.
The annual consumption of
peat moss in the United States
is approximately $8,000,000,
and about 50 per cent of it is
imported from Germany, Hol
land and other European !
countries.
Alaska Deer Abaittor
Planned for Pacific Coast
Arrangements have been
completed for the establish
ment at Moss Landing, Calif
ornia of an abattior, where
reindeer from Alaska will be
killed to supply the meat de
mands of the Pacific Coast,
accordingto news reports. The
plans were made public by R.
L. Glassley of the Montgomery
Ward Company. The pro
ject will be known as the Eski- j
mo Sisters Reindeer Company ,
and is said to have the backing
of Alex Gottlund and Alfred
Selden. Selden is a former;
Alaska business man and Gott-|
iund was formerly an officerj
in the imperial Russian army, j
The company plans to ship j
he live deer to Moss Landing.
A-here they will be held alive
lntil needed for the market. ,
rhe plans embrace the hand- ,
ing of 45,000 deer the first

CAUTION URGED IN
HOME DRY CLEANING
—
Referring to numerous eases
in which fires and explosions
have resulted from the use of
inilamable solvents for dry
cleaning purposes, the Rossi
Insurance Agency has advocat
ed a numbe rof precautions.
Most housewives are now fa
miliar with the serious haz
ards connected with gasoline
and have given up dry clean
ing entirely when it is necess
ary to ure any considerable
quantity of that liquid. Only
very small quantities, such as
might be used in removing
spots from clothing can be
stored in safety in the ordinary
home and an amount suffic
ient to dry clean an entire gar
ment is too large to be used
safety in the average house- j
hold without unusual precaut- j
ions, it is pointed out.
Recently a number of home j
day cleaning outfits using sol- j
vents which arc non-inflamable ;
have been placed on the mark-1
et and are both non-inflamable 1
and non-explosive. Their use
removes the fire and explosion
hazard entirely, although the
two solvents most frequently I
used introduce a health hazard ;
against w h i c h precautions ■
should be taken. The room in
which they are used should be
well ventilated to prevent
breathing large quantities of
the vapors. Carbon tetrachlor-1
ide gas particularly, is much
heavier than air and sinks to
the floor, so that children
should not be allowed to play
on the floor while dry cleaning
is being carried on. It is bet- j
ter to keep them out of the
room entirely. The company ■
points ont that whenever poss-!
ble dry cleaning should be
carried on out of door3, regard
less of the preparation used, j
ind it is highly desirable that
garments be hung out of doors
ifter being cleaned. If dry
•leaning must be done indoors 1
t should be in a well ventilat
ed room and before an open j
vindow, where a cross draft
nay be set up.

WHY—
’ White Lightning Is Greater
Menace Than Red
Heel lightning, though seldom report
ed by forest service lookouts ns the
cause of n forest fire, differs in no way
from white lightning, a very common
cause of (ires, says Dr. W. .7. Hum
phreys of tlie weather bureau. White
Hashes are a greater Are hazard than
red flashes merely because of the at
mospheric conditions responsible for
tlie difference in color.
In rainless air, Doctor Humphreys
points out, electric discharges owe
their light entirely to tlie two gases,
oxygen and nitrogen, and therefore are
white or bluish white. An electric dis
charge through heavy rain, however,
may dissociate some of the water va
por along its path and thus produce,
in addition to the light of oxygen and
nitrogen, that also of hydrogen, which
Is brilliantly red.
1 ted' lightning, coming through rain,
strikes only wet objects, which, of
course, greatly reduces Its fire hazard.
White lightning, on the other hand,
may strike dry fuel, which is easily
fired.
Why Certain Emotions
Are Cause of Blushing
Washing is tlie sudden reddening of
tlie face, neck and breast, as the re
sult of nervousness or excitement.
Certain vasomotor nerves lie parallel
with each artery and capillary, and
control the dilation and contraction of
these blood vesels and the amount of
blood which passes into them. Emo
tions such as shame, surprise, diffi
dence and consciousness of guilt excite
tlie nervous system in such a way that
the vasomotor nerves are temporarily
paralyzed, and during the suspension
of their action an extra quantity of
blood rushes into tlie blood vessels. It
is this increased flow of blood which j
causes the skin to redden and pro- ;
duces tlie blush. Why the effect is I
limited to the face, neck and breast is i
not thoroughly understood. Charles j
Darwin observed that savages who :
went almost naked blushed to tlie I
waist. Some people are able to pre- i
vent themselves from blushing by will
power.—Pathfinder Magazine.
“Why” of Several Things
Why do we have eyebrows? Na- i
j ture litled eyebrows to the human face
to keep man’s eyes clear whilst he was j
i working. The purpose of the eye
i brows is to catch the drops nnd to pre- j
J vent them from getting into your eyes. !
Why are there small hairs Inside the
nostrils? Their business is to remove
as much grime as possible from the
air we breathe. Why is there never
any hair on the palms of the hands
or the insides of the fingers? It Is
with the hairless surfaces that we
touch nnd grasp things. The presence '
of even the finest down would spoil the
delicate sense of touch that the fingers
! possess.
Why Known a« Hull House
I Hull house, famous social settle
ment, Is situated on South Halsted ;
street, Chicago, and takes its name
from its original building, erected in
1852 by Charles J. Hull. In 1889 Jane
Addams nnd Ellen Starr secured a
lease of a part of the building with
the object of founding a social settle
ment. The earliest activities of Hull
house were purely social. Headings
were given, a kindergarten was con
ducted and various festivities were ar
ranged for aged residents of the
neighborhood. Gradually the scope
widened and active discussion of eco
nomic questions was carried on.
Why “Meridian Stone”
The term meridian stone is usually 1
applied to the stones marking the ends ]
of a so-called meridian line, placed to
define the true north and soutli line.
Such stones are intended primarily to ;
enable a surveyor to test his compass
and determine the difference between
the direction indicated by the compass , 1
needle (magnetic north) and the true ]
north. It is important that a me- ! ]
ridian line be placed away from build- ! ,
ings, electric car lines and, in general,
anything which might deflect the ,
needle of the compass. ,
Why Dead Body Floats
If a body weighs more than Its
equal volume of water at any depth, it
will sink nnd continue to sink until
it reaches the bottom; If it weighs
less, it will float. A corpse tilled with
water is likely to be a little heavier
than sea water, so that the tendency
is to sink until decomposition sets in.
The temperature of a dead body will
gradually fall or rise to the tempera
ture of tlie air, water or other sur
rounding medium.
Why Flag Has Thirteen Stars
Although the federal government
considered the states of Kentucky and
Missouri as members of the Union,
these states actually had representa
tives in the Confederate congress and

Ray Deardof, packer for B.
D. Stewart, territorial mining
engineer, wa3 badly mangled
by a bear in the Taku valley
a few day3 ago and was
brought to Juneau in an air
plane. Deardorf was attacked
while unarmed and on his way
to bring in a portion of a moose
he had killed. The bear sud
denly charged him from cover,
knocking him down, after seiz
ing the man by the hip. Dear
dorf covered his face and lay
still while the bear took his
head in its mouth, the long
tusks raking over the skull and
partially scalping him. He
then bit Deardorf in the shoul
der and forearm, in addition to
raking his legs with his hind
claws. Pausing several times,
the bear returned to his victim,
biting and worrying him. He
finally left and Deardorf man
aged to get to his feet and
make his way to a boat on the
river, where he obtained help.
This was the second govern
ment official to be hurt by a
bear within a year, a forest
ranger having been killed by
one previously.

Why Strong March Winds
In March the difference in tempera
ture between the southern and north
ern sections of the United States is
greater than at any other time of the
year, lienee the difference in atmos
pheric pressure between these re
gions is then greatest and the result
ing winds strongest.
Why Few Antler* Are Found
Antlers lost by deer and elk are
rarely found in the woods because the
antlers are eaten by rodents.
