Part of Alaska Are Accommodating. % . _ ] GEOGRAPHIC SOCIETY THERE ? m t, LjL , Members Who Went to Study Mount Katmal and It* "Valley of Ten Thousand 8mokee" Are Favored With Fine Performance. Juneau. Alaska. ? Volcanic. peaks I'1 the far southwestern corner of Alaska are In eruption this summer, evidently for the benefit of a party of scientists stmt by the National Geographic ao eiety to study Mount Katmai, the Kreatest of Alaska's smoking moun tains, and its "Valley of Ten Thou sand Smokes." Persons who have returned receutly from the volcanic country to the west ward said Shlshaldln peak, on Unlmak Island, In the Aleutian chain, was in eruption recently. They also reported It was believed Mount Ilavloff on the southwestern Alaskan mainland, also had spouted, as the snow about the summit was coal black. Laft "Blowoff" In 1912. When the party of scientists left Anchorage, Alaska, on their way to the Katmai country, they said 'they bfi-v . ueved there was little likelihood of an eruption this summer and declared they were certain there was absolutely no danger attached to the investiga tion. Katmai's last big "bjowoff" was in June, 1012. Tho party of twenty-six scientists is headed by Professor Robert A. Griggs of the University of Ohio, and some are from Carnegie institute. They ; Were planning to make observations j of the botanical,, biological and geo- j logical effects of the 1912 eruption. in 1913 Professor Griggs headed a party of scientists to Katmai and re turned with the announcement that the cratpr was the largest on the globe and that near Katmai lay a great valley whose floor was dotted with thousands of mouths vomiting gray vapory gas and smoke. This valley j Prof. Griggs named "The Valley of | Ten Thousand Smokes." Instead of ) 10,000, It Is said there are literally millions of smoking vents. Set Aside by Congress. , Cobgress recently set aside "The i Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" as national property, and It Is believed that some day it will he a 'second Yel lowstone geyser field. Steaming springs, it is said, will eventually take the place of the present smoking vents. Professor Griggs and his party ex pected to remain In the Kntmai dis trict until tfte middle of September. Until they return nothing probably ! will he heard from them, as there is no direct means of communication. Mrs. Griggs and her children accom panied the "professor to Kodlak, an island near Katmai, and will remain there during the summer wuitlng for him to return. Moving pictures of the smoking mountain and valley are to be brought back by the party. vEach Beauty in Harem Demanded a Gold Tooth. Trials of a tobthpullcr in a x+fflrem were described by Dr. A. S.

Fourteen years as the royal dentist for his majesty, the Shah of Persia, who hns a nifty harem In his palace, has con vinced the dentist that life with n surplus of beautiful spouses does not have all the traditional Joys. One of the doctor's first duties In tbe Shah's palace was to pull v' a tooth for a member of the harem.

CAROLINA SECOND IN TAX Only Nevada Shows a Greater Increase In Report by Roper. Washington, Sept. 1). ? Preliminary re port made today by Daniel C. Roper, collector of internal revenue, reveals a phenomenal showing by hi* o\^n State of South ' Carolina on comparative re cepits from income and profits taxation for the fiscal years 1019 and 1018. South Carolina's payments into the national treasury on this account were $17,200,000 for the year ending June 30. 1019, compared with $7,884,000 for the fiscal year ending June 30 1018. There was an increase of about 110 T>er cent in one year. It was by far t^he heaviest increase shown by any of the States but Nevada, which is hardly a State except politically and by way of divorce. With the exception of Nevada, which showed an increase of 1,000 p<*r cent, no other State showed anywhere near tlhe percentage gains of South Carolina. The country as a whole turned iv $243, 010.000 less than for the preceding fiscal year, two very large deferred pay ments being due in the fiscal year of 1020.
