parts of ^he world the valley. of Ten
Thousand Smokes, In the Mount Kat*
uiat region of Alaska, about eighty
fDltM north of Kodiuk Island.
Enterprising motion picture produo
era, following scientific expeditions In
to the strange valley, have returned
here with Alms of the myriad "smokes"
and with reports of a shorter and eas
ier route Into the district.
Whwi the Katniul volcano erupted
In 1012 and covered thousands of
square tulles with ash and pumice,
killing all vegetation and game and
wiping out more than one .settlement,
it cwa# regarded1 Mi a great calamity.
But the eruption uncovered a strange
formation which Is declared to be oue
of the wonders of the world.
The "smokes," literally thousands of
them, are clouds or Jets of steam under
various pressures, emitted from hole*
and remarkably colored caverns In the
solidified volcanic clay. The entire val
ley, which is shaped somewhat like a,
clover leaf, seems to be gradually so
lidifying. The Indian who recently
guided a motion picture i>arty said
many square miles, covered- with seml
llquid hot mud a year ago, are now
crossed without dHflculty.
In one of the three arms of the val
ley Is a "live" glacier, at the foot of
which is a beautiful cobalt-blue lake
of hot water. In another arm Is the
Falling mountain, down whose face
roll continually huge boulders broken
off near the snow-capped peaks by va
riations of temperature.'
Besides (he scenic possibilities the
valley is said to possess vast deposits
of virtually pure sulphur, arsenic and
other chemicals. /Mack sand was found
in the many streams indicating possi
bilities of gold.

HAS 2 INDEPENDENCE DAYS
Republic of Ecuador Celebrated August
Tenth and October Ninth as
National Holidays. -
The Republic of Ecuador celebrates
two national Holidays, and both are
"Independence days," according to the
Pan-American Union.
The liberty-loving put riots had to
shoot two bolts at Spanish domination
before they succeeded In gaining per
manent independence. The first time
they had a quiet but determined revo
lution in Quito, the present capital of
the republic, the patriots assembling
at the house of Manuela Canlrares, a
brave and beautiful woman, on August
5. 1809,. when they prepared their
declaration of Independence and chose
the officials who were to compose the
provishuial government. That night
the conspirators gathered their forces
in different parts of the city and Cap
tain Salinas, who commanded the two
companies of regular troops that guard
ed the city, went to their barracks,
read to them the declaration and won
them over to the cause of the patriots.
They overpowered the bodyguard of
Ruiz de Castilla, the Spanish governor,
early on the morning of August 10 and
thus established the first republic
without shedding a drop of blood. It
lasted only about a year, when Castil
la succeeded in overthrowing the pa
triotic government and again brought
the country under Spanish dominion.
. The fires of liberty had been kin
dled, however, .and the Ecuadoreans
kept up their horolc struggle, notwith
standing many reverses, until in 1820
the people of Guayaquil, the leading
seaport of the country, succeeded in
rebelling on the ninth of October.
With the aid of Gen. Simon Iiolivar,
the great Venezuelan emancipator,
and of his compatriot, Gen. Antonio
Jose Sucre, the Ecuadoreans, after
many bloody battles, succeeded in com
pletely annihilating the Spanish forces
and established freedom In Ecuador
forever. Therefore it Is that the Ecua
doreans celebrate two "Independence
days," the tenth of August and the
ninth of October.
Housecleaning Hedgehog#.
It is said that when In cainp during
the winter the woodsmen of Maine en
tertain many strange guests ? blue
Jays, chickadees, wood mice and hedge
hogs among them. One woodsman on
leavlnp the camp on a Saturday aft
ernoon used to neglect purposely to
close the door of his shark In order
that the hedgehogs might enter and
clean his floor.
Inasmuch as the principal constitu
ents of the camp menu are pork and
beans, baron and other dishes rich In
fat. grease Is spilled upon the floor
In a week and a hedgehog will risk his
neck for r bit of fat.
Just ns soon, therefore, as this par
ticular camp was deserted by Its oc
cupants the spiny gluttons would has
ten in and begin to plane off the sur
face of the floor with their chlsellike
teeth, eating away all the wood that
held a trace of grease. On his return
to camp the owner could sweep up
and enjoy the comforts of a clean
houRe for another week. The only se
rious objection to this method of
housecleaning lay In the fact that it j
was necessary to lay a new camp floor i
frequently. i
Relndeder Meat.
The former United States commis
sioner at Saint Michael, Alaska, Wil- !
ilam B. Stephenson, writes in his new
hook about Alaska, "The Land of To
morrow," that "the reindeer reaches
of the far North are destined to solve
the meat question for the United
States."
"Reindeer breeding, is fast becom
ing an important facTfcr, and here
again one must* revert to the land.
Reindeer need space, for they are the
beef of Alaska and must have pas*
turage. This pasturage Is always to
he had. Reindeer steaks ara and have
been for a long time regularly Quoted
on the Seattle markets. That they
will one day figure conspicuously in
our meat supply cannot be questioned.
Already the big packing concerns have
sent their representatives to look over
the ground. There is one drawback
to this industry, however, which will
have to be adjusted and regulated be
fore It can become profitable. The
cost of shipping is now prohibitive.
Alaska now has 100,000 reindeer. With
in the next ten years she will have
8,000,000." |
The Lerot and the Snake.
t Every one has heard of the remark
able cembats of Hie Indian mongoose
with venomous snakes, In which little
rlkkltikki-tavvi comes off victor. The
fnct that the mongoos<? invariably sur
vives has led to the suggestion that
it is immurte to snake poison. Other
animals said to be immune are the pig
and the hedgehog. The experiment* of
a British nnturallst show that an anim
al of the dormouse family must ba
added to the list of the Immune. Thla
nnlinal is known as the Jerot and la
said to fight fiercely with vipers.
Large doses of viper's poison were In
jected into one lerot, from which in
jection no ill effects followed. On on#
occasion a lerot was badly bitten In
the eye by a viper and no signs of poi
soning followed.

Placing Hlmaelf.
Luther Burbank, like Thomai A.
Edison, has had his bruin incorporated
and capitalized. He has done many
wonderful things, one of the biggest
being the perfecting of the spineless
cactus, which is a great rattle food
staple. Also to bis credit are the
Shasta daisy," the stoneless prune and
the seedless grape. His patience is
wonderful and they say that at one
time he raised 50,000.000 lllliea to get
a single half-dozen that were perfect.
