Alaska: the Great and Rich.
Alaska's extreme breadth from east
to west Is 2,200 miles in an air line.
According to Prof. Guyot, a recognized
authority on all geographic matters,
the Island of Attu, in Alaska, is as far
west of San Francisco as the coast of
Maine is east of that city; or, in other
words, San Francisco Is the great
middle city between the extreme east
and west of the United States, says
Jay Monroe Latimer in Metropolitan
Magazine, a fact which is very diffi
cult for the eastern minds to grasp.
The breadth of Alaska from north to
south is 1,400 miles. Now about the
coast line! According to the United
States coast survey the shore line of
Alaska, up and down the bays and
around the islands, measures 25,000
miles, or two and one-half times that
of the Atlantic and Pacific coast line
of the remaining portion of the United
States. The coast of Alaska, if ex
tended in a straight line, would belt
|the globe. Nearly 40 years ago, when
Secretary of State Seward proposed
that the United States should pur
chase this vast tract of land, the peo
,ple throughout the length and breadth
of the union shouted: “Folly! folly!
$7,200,000 for an iceberg!” Neverthe
less, Secretary Seward was wiser than
his day and generation. He intro
duced the bill before congress; and
there after stormy and lengthy de
bates he secured its passage, and the
United States received from Russia the
greatest of all her possessions.
Coal Industry in Montana.
The coal mining industry in Mon
tana has, according to the records,
just entered the second quarter cen
• tury of its history. So far as known,
the first coal produced in the state, or
the territory, as it was then, was
mined in 1880, in which year the pro
duction amounted to 224 tons. It was
not until 1889, however, that the in
dustry assumed any importance, the
production increasing nearly 800 per
cent., from 41,467 short tons in 188 to
563,301 short tons the following year.
During the next six years develop
ment advanced rapidly, until in 1895,
It exceeded 1,500,000 tons. Compara
tively little fluctuation was shown by
statistics of production from 1895 to
1906, but in 1906 considerable improve
ment was evident, the production hav
ing increased from 1,643,832 short
tons, valued at $2,823,350, in 1905, to
I, 829,921 short tons, valued at $3,240,
359, in 1906, a gain of 186,089 tons, or
II. 3 per cent in quantity, and $417,
007, or 14.8 per cent., in value. The
number of men employed in the coal
mines of Montana increased from
2,181, in 1905 to 2,394 in 1906, the av
erage number of working days being
the same (243) in both years. The
average production per man in 1906
was 764.4 short tons, against 753.7 in
1905, and the average daily production
per man was 3.15 tons in 1906, against
3.10 tons in 1905.
Problem of Air Navigation.
Apropos of the prevailing acute in
terest in aeronautics abroad, a foreign
critic intimates that the United States
is far behind other countries, and
speaks rather slurringly of our alleged
nonprogressiveness. But there is no
occasion for getting “hot under the
collar" because of the insinuation,
soothingly remarks the Troy (N. Y.)
Times. That other countries are
greatly in the lead of the United
States in this matter really remains to
be proved. And even if the allegation
be true, what assurance does it fur
nish that this country will long re
main in the rear of the procession?
Americans have a knack of “catching
on” which serves them excellently
when necessary. The old world had a
■big lead on automobiles, for instance.
But It has not taken long for the
United States to work its way to first
place in motor-car production. It
would not be at all surprising if, after
everybody else has done his best and
fallen short of turning out a sucess
ful flying machine, some American
should come along and perfect an air
ship which would surpass all others.
People who have been sneering at
skimmed milk will be humiliated to
learn that a German chemist has dis

celluloid and vulcanized rubber, but
which is not inflammable. Hereafter
skimmed milk will be used for mak
ing “galalith,” the new material, and
cream will be a mere by-product.

ONCE A BELLE;
MRS. MARIE A. RIEDESELLE
DWELLS ALL ALONE IN BIG
SANTA ANITA CANYON.
SUBSISTS ON FRUIT ALONE
Book* and Piano Are Her Only Com
panion!—Dresses in 8imple Osrb
and Declares Hers Ideal Ex- -
istence.
Lob Angeles, Cal.—Tucked away in
a sequestered nook of the Big Santa
Anita canyon, where she is living the
life of a hermit, is Mrs. Marie A. Ried
eselle, who at one time was cscisid
ered one of the most beautiful of New
York’s long line of handsome women.
The once famous beauty now sleeps
on a bed of pine needles, which she
religiously gathers fresh every7 day.
Her food is fruit and berries that she
gathers from trees and bushes around
her hermitage.
When seen by a reporter recently,
the hermit was at first reticent, but
finally was induced to talk about her
existence in her lonely canyon. She
would not relate the circumstances
which led to her going into seclusion
and firmly refused to talk about her
husband.
“I spent seven years in Alaska,”
she told the reporter, “and those sev
en years were the most miserable of
my life. I endured hardship after
hardship, and the only friends I could
claim for my own were the dogs.
When I left Alaska I could not bear
to leave them. I* could not ship them
out; of the country, so I had them
killed and skinned.”
She showed a number of Eskimo
dogskins, which carpeted the floor of
her cabin, as proof.
“But, then, you want to know how
I came to be an inhabitant of this
lonely canyon. Well, I just came here,
that was all. I live on fruits and ber
ries—nothing that is cooked—and
sometimes I go for days with nothing
more than an orange to sustain me.
“Then, too,” she explained, “I am a
great believer in fasting. I went 23
days in June without more than a
drink of water at a time, and last
winter I fasted for 20 days. Of
course I lost much flesh, but still I

kept on with the fast and now feel
like a new woman altogether,
“You must not expect to see much
of a home here in the canyon. Every
thing I have here is hand-made, ex
cept my piano, which I saved out of
all the things I had In the east.
“I suppose you wonder why I live ,
out here all alone. It does seem
strange, but, ah, this is the life to
live! It is the life of a free woman,
unchecked and free from the tram
mels of a sordid civilization which
binds its devotees to the petty conven
tionalities of life.
“My life is life. It is not a mere
existence. I have something to live
for—the birds and the trees, and the
sunlight. Some day I am coming out
of my shell and proclaim the real joy
of living to the world.
“Three years ago I was thought to
be dying. Now I am healthy and ro- ,
bust. I have studied to gain mental
control over my body and I have ac- ,
compllshed that aim right here.
“During my hermitage I have read !
all the authors,” she asserted, point
ing to a library in a corner of the '
room. “I love Plato and Shakespeare
and all the rest, but the author whose
works have been of the most use to
me is Socrates.”
That she walks about 15 miles a
day and lives entirely upon uncooked
foods is the reason Mrs. Reideselle
gives for her remarkable health. She
Bhows evidences of having been a
wonderfully beautiful woman in her
day and is still handsome in a lithe,
sinuous way.
She speaks with the clear enuncia
tion of a well-bred woman and her
conversation is rational and strikingly
to the point Her taste in clothing
runs to the simplest of garbs. A shirt- ,
waist and skirt are her usual costume.
The hermit is unique in her modes
of life and views on living, but even '
her practical explanation of why she
likes the out-of-doors existence leaves ,
one to believe that there is a deeper
and perhaps more romantic reason for .
her absolute seclusion. Her life is a
romance in itself.

WILD WOMAN IS SEEN
IN CANADIAN FOREST
LIVES IN HUT WITH A NUMBER
OF DOGS AS HER ONLY
COMPANIONS.
Ottawa, Ont.—A report of a woman
roaming wild in the forests about
Blue Sea lake, not far from this city,
has been brought here by Prof.
Macauley, of Harvard university, who
has been spending some time in that
section of Hie country.
He states that while hunting one
day in the woods near the Gatineau
river a scurrying in the underbrush
caused him to quickly turn his rifle
in the direction of the sound. To
his surprise the wild face of a hu
man being, tanned to a dark browl

by masses of dark, coarse hair, and
unmistakably the face of a woman.

peered at him from the shadows.
The hunter quietly approached her,
but before he could speak she turned
and fled.
Prof. Macauley savs she seemed
to be dressed in nothing more sub
stantial than leaves, entwined and
matted together so as to form a
covering for her body. He made in
quiries in the neighborhood and
found that other persons besides
himself had seen the woman. She
lives in solitude in a small, low hut,
in the interior of which no person of
medium size could stand upright. She
has no companion save a number of
dogs, which help her in procuring
food in the forest. A rifle is included
in the list of her possessions, but am
munition has been refused her.
It appears that owing to an injury
done the woman years ago she has
ever since shunned human society and
lived in the depths of the bush. How
she keeps alive during the severe win
ter is a mystery.
MONKEY JAILED FOR MISCHIEF.
Commitment on File Against Him in
New Jersey Prison.
New Brunswick, N. J.—A South
American monkey has been committed
to the Middlesex county jail here for
malicious mischief, and there is an au
thentic commitment on file against
him. •
“When I was in charge of sheriff's
deputies down at Sayreville several
months ago,” said Warden Charles
Rogers, “trying to keep strikers from
running away with the clay pits, I got
acquainted with this very same
monkey. He seemed to take to me
right at the start. One night I saw
him at a hotel, and some fellows were
feeding him on beer.
“Pat Farley, the constable, said
right out that he would arrest the
monkey if he broke the peace of that
community. And the other night the
monk slipped out of his chain and
went out for a stroll. Casper Shuler,
the justice of the peace, has—or had
—as fine a garden of flowers as you
want to see. The monk visited that
yard, and when he got through you
couldn't tell a callistephus chinesis
from a geranium.
“Yes. Shuler was mad. He was
wondering what to do with the
monkey, when along came Farley and
told him he ought to send it to jail.
He’s entered up 'as Petro Parbuza.
You can see for yourself. He’s an in
temperate cuss. He broke the medi
cine chest the other night. He must
have thought it a wine cellar. He
didn't know the difference until he
had drunk a bottle of iodine, and it
didn’t bother him a bit.”
Signs of the Same.
“Accidents are frequent on this part
of the road, are they not?” asked the
traveler.
“No, sir, they are not,” answered
the indignant conductor. “Why do
you think so?”
“Because,” replied the traveler, as
his eyes roamed on the succession
of laundry confidences which decked
the landscape, “I notice there are
wash-outs all along the line.”—Balti

TUBERCULOSIS A COMMON
DISEASE AMONG SWINU
Comparative Effects of Infected and Pasteurized Skim Milk
When Fed to Healthy Pigs.
Tuberculosis is of frequent occur
rence in hogs, and, apparently,- the
number of hogs so affected is on the
increase. So true is this in some sec
tions of the country that packers are
cautious about buying hogs from those
localities. The carcasses of tuber
culous animals are often so thoroughly
infected with the disease as to be un
fit for food, and consequently are a
source of loss to the packer. Where
animals are slaughtered without be
ing subjected to careful inspection the
diseased meat is very certain to be un
wittingly used for food. A knowledge
of the sources of infection is of pri
mary importance to those who must
undertake the responsibility of check
ing it.
It is known that the same bacillus,
which produces tuberculosis in cattle
also produces the disease in hogs. The
exact extent to which cattle are the
cause of its presence among hogs is,
however, not known. Naturally, milk
is commonly considered one of the
main carriers of the disease. Many in
stances can be cited of droves of hogs
fed at some time in their lives on
whole milk, skim milk or buttermilk i
that when slaughtered have shown a
large proportion infected with tuber
culosis.
At present there is a great deal of
interest taken in all that concerns
milk as a source of tuberculous in
fection. The importance of pasteur
izing milk to be used for pig feeding
is demanding considerable attention.
For the purpose of Investigating
some phases of this subject directly
associated with the use of milk, an ex
periment was undertaken by the Iowa
Agricultural college, under the direc
tion of W. J. Kennedy, E. T. Robbins
and F. W. of the college fac
ulty.
In this investigation the following
obiects were sought:
1. To test the effect of feeding to
animals arc kept. The pigs of lot one
were separates by a lane a rod wide
from the pigs of lot two, so it does
not seem probable that they received
their infection from lot two. It is
possible that the pastures on which
the pigs of lots one and two were kept
had been previously Infected with the
tubercle bacillus from pasturing other
stock so affected, and that the two in
fected pigs of lot one contracted the
disease in that way. Or, it is possible
that they may have obtained it
through the pasteurized milk, al
though if they did it is strange the in
fection was not more general, as every
lot of milk was equally divided among
the four lots of pigs. Frequent tests
of the milk showed that the pasteuri
zation had been thoroughly done, so
that this source of infection is not at
all probable. Of course, it should be
borne in mind that although the pigs
were probably free from tuberculosis
at the beginning of the experiment, it
is not absolutely certain that none
were affected. So, while the exact
source of infection of the two pigs ot
lot one cannot be determined, it seems
most probable that, since none of the
pigs similarly fed in dry lot w.ere in
fected, the blame should be attached
to other stock that may previously
have frequented the pasture of lot one.
The results indicate, however, very
clearly that pigs in a dry lot are no
more likely to contract bovine tubercu
losis than are pigs in pasture, either
from yards in which cattle have pre
viously been kept or from infected
pigs occupying adjoining quarters.
There was, in a general way, about
the same degree of infection among
the pigs of lot two on pasture and lot
four on dry lot, so that the more fa
vorable conditions for general thrift
and growth of the pigs on pasture ap
parently had no influence with the dis
ease. Noting the infection of the in
dividual pigs, it is seen that every pig

pigs skim milk known to contain viru
lent bacilli of bovine tuberculosis.
2. To test the effect of feeding pas
teurized skim milk to pigs.
3. To determine whether there is
any difference in the susceptibility of
pigs fed tuberculous milk on pasture
and in small dry yards.
Forty pigs were divided into four
lots of ten each and fed from July 24,
1906, to February 5, 1907, each lot
being fed a ration of corn meal and
shorts equal parts by weight with the
following differences in the treatment
of the lots:
Lot 1 was kept on timothy pasture
and fed pasteurized skim milk.
Lot 2 was kept on timothy and fed
skim milk containing bacilli of bovine
tuberculosis.
Lot 3 was kept in a small dry yard
and fed pasteurized skim milk.
Lot 4 was kept in a small dry yard
and fed skim milk containing bacilli
of bovine tuberculosis.
The skim milk fed to each lot of
pigs was pasteurized at the Randall
creamery. The heating was done by
steam, the temperature only and not
the time being controlled. The tem
perature is usually 200° F. All the
lots were fed equal quantities of every
lot of milk used. All the infected ma
terial, therefore, fed in the milk of lots
two and four was purposely intro
duced for this experiment. It was the
original plan to use only pure cultures
of the bacilli of bovine tuberculosis for
infecting the milk, but as these could
not be obtained in sufficient quantity
and of undoubted virulence, fresh,
tubercular bovine animal tissue was
also used. In this way there could be
no doubt that the pigs of lots two and
four actually ingested virulent tuber
cle bacilli. The milk fed these two
lots was not all- infected, but only at
intervals of a few days or weeks. Each
time the infectious material was thor
oughly mixed with the milk in the
trough just before the pigs were
turned to it so none of the utensils ex
cept the troughs of the infected lots
were contaminated. Altogether, in
fected milk was fed to lots two and
four seven times—on the following
dates: September 25, September 27,
October 18, November 1, November 12,
November 14 and November 19.
One feed of milk was infected with
one liter of glycerin broth culture of
bovine tubercle bacilli 500 c. c. being
used for each lot of hogs. The other
feeds of milk were infected with bo
vine tubercular tissue, mostly lungs
and livers. Microscopic examinations
of the tubercles were made to verify
the disease. This material was hashed
in a meat chopper and mixed with the
milk at the rate of three to five pounds
to a feed.
The results of the inspection, after
slaughter, show that the pigs fed in
fected milk were all affected with
tuberculosis; also that lot one, fed
pasteurized milk on timothy pasture
had two infected pigs, one case being
so severe that the carcass was con
demned.
Although the pigs of lots three and
four were always in adjoining pens,
with only an open fence to separate
them, none of the pigs of lot three
had tuberculosis, while all of lot four
had it, so It seems that the disease
is not likely to qpread beyond tbs
limits of the pen In which the infected
infected at ail at time of slaughter
was affected in the glands of the cervi
cal region; all but one were affected
in the bronchial region; about 80 per
cent, were affected in the portal and
mesenteric glands; one-half had af
fected livers, while only 20 to 30 per
cent, had affected spleens; 20 per cent
had tuberculous areas on the insides
of the ribs and other parts of the
body, and only 20 per cent, had af
fected lungs. It is, indeed, character
istic of the disease in hogs that it is
present in the cervical glands if it is
present at all, and it is not at all cer
tain to be found in the lungs.
As has previously been noted, the
records of the weights, feeds and gains
of the pigs in the several lots indicate
that, while pigs affected with bovine
tuberculosis may show by their out
ward appearance no perceptible dif
ferencd from healthy pigs, their feed
ing qualities are nevertheless to some
extent injured, so that they make
smaller gains and are likely to require
more feed for 100 pounds gain than
healthy pigs. The gains made by the
infected pigs enforce the same thought.
The results of this experiment in
dicate:
1. That pigs fed milk containing vir
ulent bacilli of bovine tuberculosis are
very likely to become quickly and se
riously infected with the disease.
2. That properly pasteurized cream
ery skim milk is a safe feed for pigs.
3. That pigs confined in small dry
yards are no more susceptible to tuber
cle bacilli taken in the food than are
pigs on pasture, while at the same
time they are fully as resistant as are
pasture-fed pigs to tubercle bacilli
from other sources.

MAKES A SPLENDID SHOWING.
Missouri Pacific’s Gross Earnings In
crease, and Expenses Decrease.
The Missouri Pacific system (includ
ing the SL Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern and the Central Branch)
operated last year for 66.8 per cent.,
as against a ratio of 67.9 per cent,
in the preceding year, which, on its
face, is a very creditable showing,
and which improves upon examina
tion. Gross earnings were $48,703,342,
the largest in the history of the com
pany; net earnings were $16,188,272.
To net earnings add $3,283,282 other
income, and the total available Income
is $19,471,555, of which taxes, inter
est on funded debt and equipment
trust obligations, and sundry othei
charges consumed 60.5 per cent., or
$11,773,452. The $7,698,103 remainder
equaled 9.9 per cent, on the outstand
ing $77,817,875 capital stock.
That this result was not obtained at
the expense of the property is shown
by the following percentages: Gross
earnings increased 9.3 per cent; ex
penditures for maintenance of equip
ment increased 21 per cent; expendi
tures for maintenance of way and
structures increased 9.8 per cent; the
cost of conducting transportation in
creased 2.6 per cent.; general ex
penses increased 1.7 per cent. The
secret of the company's showing is in
the small increase in the cost of con
■ ducting transportation. Expenditures
for maintenance increased in greater
ratio than gross earnings, but as
against an increase of 9.3 per cent, in
gross earnings is an increase of but
2.6 per cent, in the cost of conduct
ing transportation.
There is obviously nothing in the
showing made by the company for the
last fiscal year to account for the fact
that the stock is selling at the lowest
price since 1900, when it was a non
dividend bearing security. It has
earned and paid its 5 per cent, a year
since then. The price of the stock
must be supposed to be due. partly, to j
financial conditions affecting all se- |
curities. and partly to the fact that |
in the last two or three years there ;
has been no organized effort to sup
port Gould securities. They have been
left to find their level with investors.

report the transfer office of the com- {
pany has been fairly overwhelmed j
