YUKON TivSR LITTLE X^O.VK Average American Unfamiliar With .the Characteristics of the Great Alaskan Waterway. V The Yukon means so much as a waterway to Alaska that a report by the United States geological survey on its discharge at Eagle and on some of the great river's characteristics have especial interest. The Yukon is the fifth river in size in North America K drains an area of 330,000 square miles ; and its length, including the Lewe:and Teslin rivers, is 2,700 miles. The Mississippi-Missouri rivers are 6,000 miles long; the Mackenzie, 2,868: Coiorado-Green, 2,000, and Ohio-Allegheny, 1,300. The discharge of the Yukon varier. from a maximum of 254,000 cubic fee : a second to 10,100 cubic feet, average j of 73,200. This discharge is relatively small compared with the average flow of the Mississippi, 695,000: Ohio. 300,000, and Colorado, 23.300. The Nile. -J-"'-' with a drainage area of 1,262,000 1" square miles has an average flow ui 116,000 cubic feet a second. The comparatively small flow in relation to its drainage area is attributed to the fact that the interior o: Alaska has the small rainfall characteristic of that portion of the United States that lies between the Rocky mountains and the Sierra Nevada north of the latitude of Salt l^ikt City. v The Yukon means so much to j Alaska and the territory means s-j much to the United States in gold nrorhiotion and in other latent minera. r r-" ? ? and ot^dr development that the lack of general knowledge regarding its characteristic must be sitrprisiug to the sojourner in this country who comes from its banks.?New York Commercial. IS WORLD'S RAREST PLANT, This Is the Silversword, Which Grows In Profusion on Hawaiian Volcano Slopes. The rarest plant in the world grows in Hawaii, a fact which is unknown to ! all but very few of the thousands of j tourists annually visiting the paradise | S of the Pacific. It is the silversword. Its very name is odd and unusual, at ? once arousing the curiosity and the interest of the stranger who chances to hear it. It is a cactuslike growth, the long, silky, gray leaves of which give it its peculiar name. The reason for its ' rarity is that it is found only on the ' most inaccessible slopes of the volcanoes of this group of islands. iTrnm tbp ?>?rliest times it has been appreciated and greatly admired by the native Hawaiians, who called it > "ahinnhina" (gray-hcadc*!), because they had never, before* the coming of 'the white man. seen silver, and ther?- \ A fore could not apply to the plant the cognomen which well describes it. . All who have fourc1. it prize it more I jealously titan do Alpine climbers j treasure the edelweiss; it is far more j V - beautiful a thing and more difficult to ; obtain than the famous flower of Swit- i aerlaud. r-#* v , ?????? Catamount Robs Farmer. Adam Sterner, an Augustaville, Northumberland county (Pa.) farmer, bad an experience with a huge cata- I mount that almost turned his hair 1 gray. He was driving to the Suitfjury markets with a lead of produce, apd wis passing through dens6' wood6 when he felt a heavy body land on his 1 wagon,; iouuweu oy spuuug aim "meowing" that were hideous. Looking baci, he saw two big balls of fire, th^ eyes of the largest catamount l?ad ever seen. It was pawing at the canvas cover he had over life load. With a revolver, the frightened farmer fired twice. At the discharge of the weapon the cat jumped and escaped in the darkness. When 1)6 arrived at the market two fat ^ dressed chickens were missing. War Boomf Home Brewing. * The new beer tax in England has liad the effect of reviving the obsolete ' * art of home brewing in the country i districts. If home brewing becomes ] .widespread, one of the main sources to which Lloyd George has been look- i fag to raise funds for the war will j be cut off. The brewing industry will suffer. Ale can be brewed at borne at 1% cents a pint, or cents Cheaper than it can be bought at a public bar. Small householders paying less than ISO a year in taxes are j allowed to brew for home use free \ from any excise tax. Empty casks i are bought up to store the home t brews, and brewing coppers are lent s among neighbors. !? French Physician in Demand. J Doctor Doyen, the French surgeon, j is generally considered to be the j wealthiest medical man in the world 1 He is also one of the busiest, and it 1 Is proverbial in Paris that no healthy ( man can ^ver get a talk with him. Pa- ( .ttents come from every part of the ] world to his private hospital in the \ Rue Durel, and in recent years he has ( had all his more important surgical op- 1 eratioBs cinematographed. with the object of leaving exact records of his 1 y work for the aid of other surgeons.

ALW AYS Tin: YATCi How Battleships fit Sea Kseo Informed of the Whereabouts of an Enemy's Fleet. Every battleship at sea has its wirpV'ss installation adjusted so that ran send and receive signals and messages to other squadrons at sea or in harbor and io stations ashor One ship is always in direct touch with the admiralty, whence the latest information received at headquarters from all parts of the world is immedi ately transmitted >o the fleet, while eui h of the other ships composing the fleet is similarly responsible for some particular station ashore or for a cruiser squadron or flotilla of torpedo boat destroyers. For the purpose ot obtaining information as to the whereabouts of the enemy and guarding against surprises wireless telegraphy is, of course, Invaluable, says the Wireless World (London). A great number of cruisers are sent out ahead and spread a number of miles across The duty' of -these shirs is to keep a thorough looPfout and renrrt to the shin in ?he battle feet locking out on their particular wavelength. This skip in turn, reports by semaphore or Morse-lamp to the admiral of the battle fleet The cruisers are. sometimes assisted by inrredo boat desiroybrs. Now, if 30 of these ships are used it will be readily seen that the area of their vision is enormous, and it. would be almost impossible for a heet to pass unobserved. immediately any of the ships siglft the enemy's squadron thev would report at once by wireless, stating the number of ships sighted, with their speed, latitude and longitude, etc. The admiral would then give his orders, also by wireless. BOOKS HE WOULD SELECT < Author Gives His List of Reading Matter for Dweller Encamped on Desert Island, t What ten books would you select for a course of reading if you were placed on a desert island? No time should be lost in compiling the list, because there are only a few desert islands left. Here, for example, not of islands, Dut of books, is the list selected by William Calne, the novelist, author of "Rut She Meant WelL" "1.

The prevalent impression in the west that the operations in Poland :iave been conducted in wild and desolate country is curiously wide of the truth Poland is now more denselv populated than any other part of Russia, and the towns which have figured in the recent dispatches are centers of thriving industry. Radom,. now out of sound of the guns, has large tanneries and distilleries. Kalisz, through which a big German bolumn passed to relieve the pressure in the center, is famous for lace and embro?deries. Every little town around which the fighting has raged has its own mills, chiefly textile. Poland is rich in minerals, and its coal field is of considerable extent. It is not necessary to cross into Silesia to find either factories or Germans engaged in running them If Russia could have saved Poland from invasion we may be sure she would have done so.?
