Is France depopulating? From
1899 to 190: the increase of popula
tion in France was but 123,358, or
a trifle over 60,000 a year in a pop
ulation of 38,641,382. On the other
h md, France's great neighbor, Ger
many, had in 1899 a population of:
52,279 901, which in 1901 had in-:
creased to 56,343,014, a gain in two;
years of 4,063,113. No wonder that
the prime minister of France asks,
"How shall we combat the great
infantile mortality, which has been
increasing for the past 50 years is
gradually rendering France a dying
cnin.ry?”

The moon ha been the roman
cing ground for novelists for gener
ations, only of late has it divided
honors with Mars. Dags baric at
!
it, and feline concerts $ in its honor,
i
in places outside of Alaska where
Tommy is not a\:t to freeze his feet I
j
to the detriment ofhis vocal organs,
are of almost nightly occurence.
Students of the luminary in Alaska!
uote with surprise that the moon
acts different in these latitudes than
in the States, and can only attrib
i
ute it to being full.
The British government has giv
en authority to Tord Kitchener to
open negotiations wdth the Boers
for peace, if the Boers so desire.

Advices by last mail state that
a determined tight is bffing made
on the Goast to present the closing
ot the Alaska land offices. It th *
offices are retained a general recon
struction will be demanded. Alaska
refusing to be the dumping ground
for adolescent scions of political
g ralte1s.
(len. Botha writes to the Hague
that the Boers are in excellent light
ing shape and condition and outlines
his summers campaign. Kitchener
advises the Biitish government
that the Boer war is practically over.
These two statements hardly co-in
cide.

It would appear from late advices
from Nome and Dawson that no
great stock is taken in the alleged
strike in the Koyukuk, in either
place. The cheechako is again the
victim of the boomer in the States.
The American delegation to tiie

Hyde Park, London. The rent for
six weeks amounts to $20,000.
Capt. Young declares that the
