ALASKA WEATHER,
THE JAPAN CURRENT PROTECTS IT
FROM EXTREMES.
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 ! 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

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¬

NOTED KEY OWNED BY AMERICA.
. Lafayette . . Sent It to Washington ,,,. When .. the
Bastile Was Destroyed.
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
