Two Bits
SUPPOSE!
Dr. Hornaday suggests, if the peo- j
pie of Alaska want to exterminate,;
the brown bears, that each person;
go out and kill three brown bears, j
and no more, each year until there,
are no more in the Territory. That
may sound reasonable to those of
the East from whom Alaska is far
off. But, argues the Alaska (Ju
neau) Daily Empire, suppose the
sanctimonious beneficiary of Mrs.
Russell Sage's endowment would
suggest to the East that, instead of
asking Congress and state legis
latures for aid in fighting the Can
ada thistle, each fanner and farm
erette go out into the highways and
byways and fence corners and wood
pastures and each destroy three
thistles, and no more, each year
until there were no more Canada
thistles in existence?

*? By Hattie M. D'Orsay. *j
How numerous art thy yearly fes-j
tivals,
O Midnight Sun!
Since Great Jehovah flung thee into j
Space
And Time begun!
Where now thy worshipers of old, !
Isis, Osiris and the hosts?
Builders of ancient Egypt’s Pyra
mids,
Proud Caesar’s boast.
Wast there, heard thou these words::
“Let there be Light!”
(Thy splendors blind, the while I
gaze,
O Sun of Night!)
Vast conflagration of the sky!
O fiery orb!
Swimming in thine own lake of fire,'
My heart absorb!
l ny iigni were iatai in material
sense,
On planet dark; ,
One ray alone I crave, from festal
robe,
0 guiding spark!
Thus shall The Northland light
My darkened way,
Alaska’s Midnight Sun
Turn night to day! \
From thee, 0 Sun of Midnight!
Yea, from one rare flower—
The midnight blooming Cereus—
1 know God’s power!
From out the glory of thy years, O
Sun!
This boon I crave—
One ray that leads to thy Creator’s
face
Beyond the grave.
PREPARE TO BUILD
GIANT PROJECTILES
LONDON.—Remembering the les
sons of the past, said Sir Robert
Hadfield at Sheffield recently, his
firm (Hadfields, Ltd.) is prepared
to undertake, should the gun ever
be built to fire them, the production
of armor-piercing projectiles weigh
ing nearly 2t£ tons each and 21
inches in diameter.
This is probably 50 percent heavi
er than the biggest projectile yet
fired. It would penetrate 30 inches '
of hard-faced armor at a range of t
ten miles, or 60 inches of such ar- j
mor at short proving ground range. :
ind would require 1.200 pounds of
propellant.
The "Woolwich Infant,” complet
ed last year, is the largest gun ever |
instructed, weighing 150 tons, and j
iring an 18-inch shell, weighing;
ibout 1V* tons, piercing 22 inches!
>f armor at ten miles.
Captain Delamare-Maze, a French- J
nan, has invented a new type of
;un capable of tiring shells 150
niles.
