Midsummer Days that Have no Night Hazy Mornings, with a Glorious Awak¬ ening at Noon—Glaciers that Shine Like Silver. In the Century there is an article on “The Alaska Trip,” by John Muir, the California writer and naturalist. Mr. Muir says: The climate of all that portion of the coast that is bathed by the Japan cur¬ rent, extending from the southern boundary of the territory northward and westward to the island of Atoo, a distance of nearly twenty-five hun¬ dred miles, is remarkably bland, and free from extremes of heat and cold throughout the year. It is rainy, however; but the rain is of good quali¬ ty, gentle in its fall, filling the foun¬ tains of the streams, and keeping the whole land fresh and fruitful, while anything more delightful than the shining weather after the rain—the great, round sun-days of June, July and August—can hardly be found elsewhere. An Alaska midsummer day is a day without night. In the extreme northern portion of the terri¬ tory the sun does not set for weeks, and even as far south as Sitka and Fort Wrangel it sinks only a few de¬ grees below the horizon, so that the rosy colors of the evening blend with those of the morning, leaving no gap of darkness between. Nevertheless, the full day opens slowly. At mid night, from the middle point between ! the gloaming and the dawn, a low arc of ^ is B ean stealing along the the horizon, with . gradual increase ol J ! hei accompanied 6 ht aml ®P an usually an .f intensity by red of clouds, tone, ! whioh of the make sun’s a strikiu g long advertisement before he ! progress appears above the mountain-tops. i I For several hours after sunrise everything in the landscape seems dull ! and uncommunicative, The ciouds i fade, the islands and the mountains, with ruffs of mist about them, cast ill defined shadows, and the whole finna meilt changes to pale pearl -gray with > just t a t..„ ti ace w of oi run-nip purple in in it it. nut Blit to- io i ward noon there is a glorious awaken j ^ The cool haziness of the air i j vanishes, pouring from and the high, richer make sunbeams, all the on I b *y« aild cka ™« 18 ? hine - j ! now play the round-topped islands, ripples and about the edges of the over many a plume-shaped streak lie tween them, where the water is stirred by some passing breeze. On the mountains or the mainland, and in the high-walled fields that fringe the coast, still finer is the work of the sunshine. The broad white bosoms of the glaciers glow like sil¬ ver, and their crystal fronts, and the multitude of icebergs that linger about them, drifting, swirling, turning their myriad angles to the sun, are kindled into a perfect blaze of irised light. The warm air throbs and wavers, and makes itself felt as a life-giving, ener¬ gizing ozone embracing all the earth. Filled with ozone, our pulses bound, and we are warmed and quickened in¬ to sympathy with everything, taken back into the heart of nature, whence we came. We feel the life and motion about us, and the universal beauty; the tides marching hack and fol't 11 with weariless industry, laving the beautiful shores and swaying the pur pie dulse of the broad meadows thexvild of the sea where the fishes are fed; streams in rows white with waterfalls, ever in bloom and ever in song, spreading their branches over a thous¬ and mountains; the vast forests feed¬ ing on the drenching sunbeams, every cell in a whirl of enjoyment; misty flocks of insects stirring all the air; the wild sheep and goats on the grassy ridges above the woods, hears in the berry-tangles, mink and beaver and otter far back on many a river and lake; Indians and adventurers pursu¬ ing their lonely ways, birds tending their young—everywhere, everywhere, beauty and life, and glad, rejoicing action. Through the afternoon all the way down to the west the air seemed to thicken and become soft, without los¬ ing its fineness. The breeze dies away, and everything settles into a deep, conscious repose. Then comes the sunset with its purple and gold— not a narrow arch of color, but often¬ times filling more than half the sky. The horizontal clouds that usually bar the horizon are fired on the edges, and the spaces of clear sky between them are filled in with greenish yellow and amber; while the flocks of thin, over ] a pping cloudlets are mostly touched with crimson, like the out leaning sprays of a maple-grove in the beginning of Indian summer; and a ]itt]e ]ater a Km ooth, mellow purple *! fl " sheR the ak y to tbe zenitb - ani1 fin the air, fairly steeping and trailfthgtir ing the islands and mountains, and : changing all the water to wine.

FOURTEEN ACRES OF SUNFL OWERS, A Pennsylvania Farmer Feeds tl e Seeds to His Cows. It is said that a fourteeH-a< re field of sunflowers was a novel si; jht last fall on the farm of Charles A. Council¬ man, near Glyndon, Penn. Mr. Councilman pays a great deal of attention to milk, as well as being an extensive farmer, and has satisfac¬ torily tested the milk-producing quali¬ ties of the seed of the sunflower, when fed in connection with other proven¬ der. He says that sunflower seed con¬ tains a large quantity of prttein, which is richer in that important tle.uent for milk production than cottonseed meal. He feeds to his cows what he calls “balanced rations.” A ration for each cow a day he says is composed as follows: Four pounds of ground sun flower seed, six pounds of barley, fif teen pounds of clover hay and thirty pounds of sweet ensilage. This approximates the German standard. Milk prodnced from cows' fed on sunflower seed, Mr. Councilman says, will bring two cents a git.Vpn more than the usual market price on ac¬ count 24 of its high percentage He does ojf iuot cream sell 22 to per cent. milk directly to the consume but fur nishes it through a dairy coi jany. His fourteen acres of sunflowers, he -Said, would produce about a thousand bushels of seed. When railed with barley, the cows like it. Thy seed is gathered in September, the heads cut from the stalks and the seeds threshed out and stored away like grain, and will not become mouldy placed if properly in the dried out before being bins. Mr. Councilman has been experi¬ menting for some time upou his farm with raising and feeding (Sunflower seed, and is much pleased with the success that has attended his efforts. The feeding of such food to cows is done in Europe, Mr. Councilman says, and reading reports of the success ob¬ tained there led him to try the experi¬ ment. In Itussxn, he says, millions of tons of sunflower seed are raised an¬ nually, and sent to Denmark, Belgium and elsewhere to be fed to cattle. Mr. Councilman, it is sauiT'was for¬ merly known as the champion potato grower in the county, hut of late years lias not been giving so much attention to raising them, though his annual crop is still large.

In Mount Vernon, on the Potomac, is preserved an important relic of the Bastile, nothing more nor less than tho J^ey of that old fortress of tyranny. One hundred and six yea«,. ago the old state prison of Paris) vas de¬ molished by an angry mob, cn the eve of the great French revolution. This date is often accepted as the breaking out of the revolution. When the mob broke into the stronghold of despotism, they cut off the heads of the officers and paraded the streets with them upou pikes, and also carrying aloft the the great key of the Bastile, says Philadelphia Record. The key was placed in the hands of the Marquis de Lafayette, Conunan der-in-Chief of the National Guard of France. In March of the next year Lafayette forwarded it to Thomas Paine in London, to be sent as a pres¬ ent to General Washington, together with the neat drawing representing the destruction of the Bastile. Lafayette’s letter to Washington concluded with the words, “Give me leave, my dear general, to present you it with a picture of the Bastile just as looked a few days after f ordered its demolition, with the main key of the fortress of despotism. It is a tribute which I owe as a son to my adopted father, as an aide-de-camp to my gen¬ eral, as a missionary of liberty to its patriarch.” the comment Not less felicitous was of Paine in forwarding the packet: “That the principles of doubted, America opened the Bastile is not to he and therefore the key comes to the right place.” Bastile is preserved The key of the in a glass case. It hangs in the main hall at Mount Vernon, in the same position where it was placed by Wash¬ ington. Opposite to it bung the spy¬ glass which Washington lised through¬ out the Bevolutiouary War. _ Strangest ....... Mountains m the World, .
