SETTLEMENT
Away off In the wilderneaa. ns a
matter of fart the place Is known
to all Alaskans as "St. John's in the
Wilderness." there is a woman who
Is devoting her life to the natives
of Alaska, and Is doing for them
that which she believes will be for
their best interests, no one after read
ing this story can deny that Deaoon
, ness Mills performed an act that en
titles her to much thanks from every
one in that part of Alaska.
Last summer, according to advices,
which have just been received here,
a native wandered into the mission
at ST. John's in the Wilderness, in
an awful condition. He was suffer
ing from smallpox. The frightful
toll of this dread disease is too well
known to need comment. An epi
demic of smallpox would have prac
ti<ally wiped out the Indian settle
ments along the Koyukuk river.
Deaconess Mills Isolated the pa
) tient. Then she sent to Fort Yukon,
(tie nearest mission hospital, for vac
! elno. Traveling up and down the
t river with a lot of bichloride and vac
t cine she made the natives wash all
r their clothos in boiling water in
r which had bee ndropped a bichloride
[ (ablet, and then she vaccinated every
[ Indian on the Koyukuk river,
f So excellent was the work of this
f lone woman that the one case that
[ wandered into the mission was the
J only case that was heard of. An epi
J demic was avoided. The patient got
’ well.
; Deaconess Mills did wonderful
■ workji Had she not acted as she did
■ it is probable that the disease would
have (-oread. An epidemic would |
have resulted, and many might have
perished.
It is acts of this kind that make)
those who question the sincerity of
those good women who are devotiogj
their lives to the education of the
Alaskan natives think, and it la actsj
of this kind that tiring to thp ml
sions in this northern country as
sistance from the great Outlsde.

PARIS, Dec. 8. — A method of
"aging” raw wines and spirits by
electricity has been perfected by
Professor Charles Henry of the Uni
versity of Paris (the Sorbonne), and
it is already being successfully used
in some of the Burgundy wine dis
tricts.
The process is said to impart to
liquors the same properties which
they acquire by being kept for a num
ber of years in cellars. The spirit
or wine is placed in a special recep
tacle, fitted with two tubes, called
"purgers,” and the eubes are charged
with high tension electricity, at from
60,000 to 120,000 volts. The result is
that all the bacteria, ferments and im
purities collect in the tubes and are
removed, and all further fermentation
is stopped. The process is very rapid,
and the cost is less than two cents
per hundred gallons. Similar experi
ments are now being made with beer
and essential oils.

I,
Every traveler on the upper Yukon
river has noted a conspicuous white
bed. four by six inches in thickness,
that occurs on the river hanks. This
is mnde up of volcanic ash derived
from a volcano located in the north
ern margin of the St. Ellas range
more than ino miles to the south.
Though geologically speaking the
material is of recent age, yet it was
probably erupted 1,400 years ago. <
There are. of course, no historical i
records of this eruption, but in the <
course of explorations in Alaska {
much has been learned about the dls- 1
tributlon and thickness of the ma- ^
terial ejected. It originally covered ] 4
an area of 140,000 square miles, and’
some of it was carried over 430 miles I
from the volcano. The deposit varies
in thickness from 400 feet near the
volcano to an inch or two at the mar
gin of the area covered by It. A rough , 4
estimate indicates that over 10 cubic
miles of material was ejected at the,
time of this eruption. During the
eruption of Kntmai volcano In South- 1
western Alaska in June, 1912, about *
five cubic miles of ash was ejected, 4
and about the same amount fell from j
the Krakatoa eruption of 1883. This 4
Yukon eruption is therefore compar- 4
able in intensity with some of the I 4
larger eruptions of historical time. ^
All the available information about }
this subject is summarized In a pa- ^
per entitled ‘‘An Ancient Volcanic _
Eruption in the Upper Yukon Basin,” .
by Stephen R. Tapps, issued by the 1 J
United States geological survey. | :•

BUDAPEST, Dec. 8. — The only :
British civilian interned in the whole ,
length and breadth of Hungary is a
negro by the name of Sam Thomson, I
who would have escaped this distinc- |j
tion if he had not run out of money •:
and the chance of a job.
Thomson was visited some days ago
by T. D. M. Cardozla, of the American •
embassy in Vienna, who thereupon •
sent the information on through dip- j
lomatlc channels to London that :
Thomson lives in a large, clean, well :
ventilated building, and seemed well i
satisfied with his lot in Vacz.
