LBERT K AULLI EnoOL .ELBERT H., Tor Pitcher's Castoria. DISCOVERIES IN ALASKA. Schwatka's Survey Uneart! Many New Facts Conieriking the Country. VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 11, IS91.-Lieu tenant Schwartka and Dr. Hayes, of the Geological Survey of Washington, D. C., give interesting details of their I Alaskan trip. Their expedition was full of narrow escapes and hardships, and twice both leaders were nearly drowned. A large numbgr of new mountains were discovered, several of which will rank among the highest in North America. Seven hundred and fifty miles of a totally new country were opened up. The passage of the range of St. Elias Mounrains took five da ys,and is thefirst record of white meu having accomplished the fer.t. One magnificent peak, nearly sixteen thousand feet high, was named Powell Peak after Major Powell, of the geolog ical survey. Dr. Hayes has brought magnificent specimens of a foscilliferous crystalline marble which resembles the famous Tennessee marble, only much hand somer. Whole ranges of this stone were discovered. Many copper crys talline rock specimens were also brough t down. The specimens of flora consist mostly of mosses, over a hundred va rieties of which were discovered. Vege tation was reported very scarce, the trees being stunted and the hills cov ered thickly with mosses. The largest timber met with was along the White River and was only fourteen inches thick. VOLCANIC DEPCSITS. The most remarkable feature of the; whole trip was the deposits of volcanie ashes met with, which spread all over the country two or three inches thick under one foot of earth. Near St. Elias it was one hundred feet thick and the travellers sank in at every step. It resembles fine powdery pumice stone, and proves that in prehistoric times fearful eruntions must have occurred in- the St. Eiias ranges. The discoveries dissolve the theory that a great ice belt extends from St. Elias to the Arctic circle. Schwatka has now definitely fixed its limit as forty miles above these ranges, the country beyond that being in several months of the year quite free from ice and snow. The warmest weather ex perienced du'ring the trip was 87 de grees, and no frost was encountered till Copper River was reached. At Fort Selkirk seven men, four from New York, and the rest from New Hampshire, were discovered on a small farm where all kinds of vegeta bles-were growing freely. The party met multitudes of caribon, moose and bear, as well' as numerous birds, but no new kinds. From Fort Selkirk Lieutenant Schwatka hired a band of: Indians to help them across the un known country to the foot of the St. lElias ranges. When the Indians got in sight of the mountains they warned the party that they would never return alive if they attempted to cross the ranges. When they took no heed of the warning the Indians left them, and* the journey was made by Schwatka,j Hayes and a wh a s ywr nearly bare of clothing and shoes. The most hazardous part of the trip was the passage through what will now be known as the greatest canyon in North America. For seven miles the party went in small canoes through the fearful torrent. Dr. Hayes was thrown out twice and only the narrow ness of the canyon saved his life. It took less than eighteen minutes to go six miles. HAD NEVER SEEN WHITE MEN. On emerging from the canyon into daylight they were surrounded by a large tribe of indians, who had never seen white men before. They found the Indians very timid and frightened. They were puny in stature, but had remarkably fine features and were in telligent looking. They were the only . tribe found in the unexplored country that had an unexplored habitation.1 Among one wild tribe Schwatka found a white man who had lived among them for twenty-six years. Hie had forgotten his native language and was completely savage, but kept the In dians from attackiag the exploring party. He could only say a few words, s from which Schwatka gathered that j he was a Spaniard and a bout fifty-fiveJ, years of age. It was the first time het had seen whites for twen ty-one years. Both Hayes and Schwatka describe the exploration as a complete success ( from every standpoint. The photo graphs alone will form a magnificent collection. Over seven hundred were taken. Well said.

[Cincinnati Comrnercial-Gaizette.] The Russians and the Chinese are behind the rest of the civilized worl d in many thingA, but bell-founding is not aniong the number, for the bells manufactured by both nations are not only the largest, but among the best of those made by any nation. It is said that before the great fire by which Napoleon was driven out of Moscow there were in the churches of that city 1,706 bells, each of which exceeded 15, (KK) pounds in weight. The capital of China, Pekin, L according to Father Le Cornpte, not far behind as in its tem pies where there are seven bells, each exceeding 120,0W0 p1ounds, and a great number of less size. The gialt bell of the world is in Moscow; it is poetically denominated the King of Bells, and is 19 feet and i inches high, and its cir cumnferer,e round the rim is 60 feet and ! inches. Its weight car., of course, only be estimated, but, by the least calculation, it is 443,732 pounds, and its value D 3 old metal exceeds $300,000. not considering the gold and silver, of which there is a considerable quantity, which enter into its composition. This bell, when rung required forty men to ring it, the clapper being swung by means of two long ropes, with twenty men at each. The great bell at St. Ivan's, in Moscow, is forty feet and nine inches in circumference, its thick ness just above the rim is sixteen inches and its weight is computed at 127,S30 pounds. The bells of Pekin have been mentioned, but next to them is the great bell of Vienna, which weighs 40,200 pouods. After these are many smaller, yet of considerable size. A bell of Olmutz, Bohemia, and a bell i Rouen, France, are about equal in size to the Vienna bell; the bell of St. Paul's London, weighs 38,470 pounds; the bell of West rnitiister930,350; that of St. Peter's, In Rome, 18,600. Several of these bells are sounded only on very important occasions. The St. Paul bell, the Vienna bell and the bell of St. Ivan's are tolled only at the death of royalty; the bell c. St. Peter's tolls at the death of a Pope. Al ways be Original. [N. Y. World.] There is no such original genius as a bandmaster as Patsy Gilmore. He eclipsed himself again during the fun eral procession of Gen. Sherman down Fifth avenue. As his band was about opposite the Worth monument, hav ing been playing the "Dead March in Saul," he gave one of his mystic signs,'and they began playing a beauti ful dirge, with "Marching Through Georgia" as its theme, especially com posed for the occasion. It was Gil more who swung his musicians off a regimental march into "The Wedding March," at this same point on Fifth avenue, when Mr. Cleveland, then a bachelor, was reviewing a parade as President, while his future wife was sitting in a window of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. The Pres ident's blushes showed that Gilmore had made a decided hit. It was Gil more, too, who marched through WVall street with his band, during one of the pan ics, on his way to a depot, play ng "Wait Till the Clouds Roll By ." It was an old trac no teeatr shore .f M unotheaer .1and that slaves should have half holiday on Saturday, and that only absolutely necessary work should be done in Christmas week. The custom spread to the whites, and it was not discontinued by the black's after they were freed. The consequence is that thousands are idle on Saturday afternoon, and the Christmas festivities last all through the week between Christmas and New Year's. There sometimes wants only a stroke of fortune to discover numberless Ia tent good or bad qualities, which would otherwise have been eternally concealed ; as words written with a certain liquor appear only when ap pear only when applied to the fire.

L. M. Robinson, Pharmacist, Sabina. 0., certifies: "Ayer's Sarsaparilla has always been a great seller. My customers think there is no blood-purifier equal to it." "For many years I was afflicted with scrofulous running sores, which, at last be came so tad the doctors advised amputating one of my legs to save my life. I began taking Ayer's Sarsaparilla and soon saw an improvement. After using about two dozen bottles the sores were healed. I continue to take a few bottles of this medicine each '*ar, for my blood, and am no longer trou bled with sores.

All applications for reductions of as s.sments must be filed before 24th of 3tober, 1891. By order J. S. FAIR, THREE--_1 REASON WHY. Has it ever occurred to you that, il selecting a company in which to asswe your life, there are three points whieb; if correctly ascertained, will determine beyond all question the best co for you to choose ? Here they are: FIRsT-SAFETY. SECOND-CONTRACT. THIRD-RESULTS. L SAFETY (or StrenMth) is all impor tant: for an insurance contract is either en tered into for a long period of years or for life In the case of an insurance company (as withan individual or withany otherbusines organization), strength is determined by tbhAb amount of assets oVER AND ABOVE ALL IA HILrIES; or, in other words, by the SUrplUs. As the surplus of the Equitable Life Assur ance Society of the United States on Dec. 31st, 1b9J, amounted to Twenty-three andfTjres Quarter Millions (a sum many millions in f excess of the surplus held by any other Hift company in the world), and as theZqmtMae't_ ratio of assets to liabilities is 125 per cent - I. e., $125 to meet each $100 of indebtednm (a percentage greatly in excess of that of any other leading company), the question of e greatest safety must be decided in favor of the Equitable. ASSETS-----..-.---------....I 19,243,744 t LIABILITIES (I per cent) 95,593,297 SURPLUS......- $23,740,447 2. CONTRACT (or Poley).-This deter mines:- -r rights and privileges. The Free Tontine policy and applicatiore4he.. . table is free from any and all restrictions after one year, is absolutely incontestable after two years, gives a choice of tix methods of settlement at theend of the stated period, and is payable immediately on receipt of proofs of death. Cnmpare this with the policy of any other company, and the verdict will necessarily be in faver of the Equitable. 3. RESULTS.-The setllemients that are being made on the twenty-year Tontine pol icies of the Equitable Society, maturing in IS91, show a cash return to the policy-holder himself, IN ADDITION to the protection far nished by the life assurance fer twenty years, of all the premiums paid, with interest at from 2% to 7 per cent. per annum besides : (according to the kind oi policy and. age of the assured). No other company can show such results, and hence it is that the Equitar.; ble's business has outstipp<d that of every other assurance.organizationi Further information will be promptly - furnished on application to JAS.
