REPORT OIL 1X0 GOLD
DISCOVERIES IR ALASKA
Prospectors Investigate Seepage
, on Cape Simpson—Tell of
Vein at Gird wood.
A report of the discovery of a new
oil area in Alaska and of a new cold
strike near Gird wood, wltli quartz run-
nine £1.400 a ton on assay, Is eon-
tnlued In dispatches to Seattle l'nmi
the northern territory.
The gold strike has started a rash
to Uirdwood district, where six-year-
old Addle Reno discovered a vein of
free gold, according to a dispatch from
C. .1. Llneke. The vein Is on Pengruni
Creek, north of Glrdtvood. Andrew
Miles, a prospector, struck u good vein
between rhyolite slate, and the ledges
are described as large and continuous.
The report of (he oil urea near l’oin;
Barrow is bused on word from it. It.
Adtnns, head of nu oil prospecting
party, which returned to Nome from
Walnwriglit and Point Barrow.
“The oil seepages occur nu two or
three conspicuous bills of the barren
and mountainous Cape Sliupson," the
dispatch says. "The largest seepage
rises on a hill four mUes southwest of
tlie cape and more titan n mile inland.
"Another smaller seepage was found
on a hill -too yards from the shore, ap
proximately three miles northwest of
Cape Simpson. The How pf oil down
the hillside may lie seen from the
coast. The two main seepages are
similar, the source being well up the
hills. Botli flow several hundred yards
into lakes.”
A Standard Oil party of prospectors
which left Nome about the same time
its tlie Adams party is now investigat
ing iu the same section.

First Resting Place at St. Helena Un

Napoleon’s original tomb on St.
Helena has fallen into u sad state of
disrepair since the body wns removed
in state to the Invnlides In Paris eigh
ty one years ago, according to a let
ter received by Sir Lee Knowles, a
former British cabinet minister, from
it recent visitor to that remote island.

Just a slab covered with dirty white-

CAUSE OF QUEER PHENOMENA
Dust Falls on the Ocean, Yellow R S j ns
in the Yukon and Red Snows in
Greenland and Other Arctic and
Alpine Regions Among Freaks
Without Dust We Would Have No
Rain and Coloring of Our Sunsets
Would Be Almost Entirely Lest.
Washington, D. (\—"The failing of
n thick coating of dust upon a steam
er in llie Yellow sea and tlie attendant
darkening of the atmosphere so that
sailing was difficult, recently reported
in news dispatches, is not such an
uncommon occurrence In that part of
the world, or even in mid ocean,”
stays n bulletin of tlie National Geo
graphic society from Washington,D.C.
"Besides tlie dust fall on tlie ocean,
which on tlie face of it seems a joke,
there are sometimes yellow rains in
tlie Yukon and red snows In Green
land and other arctic und alpine re
gions,” die bulletin adds.
"Tlie yellow rains, so called because
tlie ground becomes covered with a pe
culiar tine yellow deposit, are usually
found to he caused by tlie pollen of
pine trees, growing miles and allies
away, which is caught up by tlie winds
and carried until their fury lias abated,
and then dropped. The ‘red snow’
seen in the arctic is made by a wind-
placed deposit of tlie motile algae.
Chiamydoinonas, in the nuclei of
which are red pigment spots, other
kinds of algae sometimes reproduce
in such numbers that they form tlie
greenish deposits seen in fresh water.
Beautiful Sunsets Due to Dust.
“Dust, however, that bane of tlie
housekeeper and tlie curse of tlie auto
mobile tourist, plays a vital part In
our lives. Though it sometimes scorns
to suffocate us, without It we could
have no rain, as tlie vapor would not
condense and without its power of
refraction our daylight would not be
so bright, and the coloring of our
sunsets would be almost entirely lost.
“The loess of northern China, a tine
yellow powder brought by the winds
from tlie desert regions beyond and
deposited In places several hundred
feet in thickness, lias been tilled for
thousands of years, without any arti
ficial fertilization and without signs
of exhaustion. Beds of volcanic dust
are to be found In Kansas and Ne
braska today, In some places ns much
us 30 feet in thickness, though there
were no volcanoes In the past and
none at present within hundreds of
miles of the deposits. The wind Is
the culprit or benefactor.
’’Steamers out In the middle of the
Atluntlc often have their sails red
dened with dust blown from the Sa
hara. and sometimes the rains of
southern Europe are colored by dust
from the same source. In 1901 four
days of March winds are believed to
have spread over central Europe
about 2,000,000 tons of Sahara dust,
most of It fulling south of the Alps,
hut some of It being carried us far as
the Baltic sen.
“Wind-blown dust also gives risp to
some interesting phenomena. When
dust fulls on glaciers or deposits of
snow near (lie mountuin tops, every
dust particle melts Its way through tlie
Ice, sometimes several inches In
j depth, and if there are a great nmn.v
I of these ‘dust wells’ tlie mountain
! climber must watch ids step, - .. Use
| wns made of this knowledge by en-
| glnoers in melting snows preliminary
to the building of the New Bergen
railway in southern Norway.
No Mountain Peak Above “Dust Zone.”
“It is probable that no mountain top
is high enough above tlie earth to lie
entirely free from some dust, espe
cially that thrown out during volcanic
eruptions. In n great explosion, such
as that of Krakatoa in 1SS5, dust is
shot into the upper atmosphere rather
than picked up by it. Imst particles
from Krakatoa traveled around tlie
world, some of it completing its first
trip in 15 days. Before this giant
shook the world with its mighty up
heaving we were Ignorant of the winds
that prevailed at over ton miles above
the enrth's surface. Tlie dust so
colored these upper reaches that
J canny scientists were aide to trace up
per wind movements, to record them
i upon their charts, nnd to tell us that
I mighty air streams are flowing 20
J miles nbove our heads.
I “Long before meteorologists realized
the part played by the dust in the up
per atmosphere following volcanic ex
plosions. they recorded as phenomenal
und inexplicable certain dense, dry
fogs tlint neither abundant rains nor
fierce winds drove away. Today we
can easily explain that because we
know that tlie ‘fog’ was really dust
In the atmosphere high above tlie
min and wind clouds. In some places
these ‘fogs' made the snn^lnvlslhle
until it had risen high above tlie hori
zon nnd colored und reflected the
light of the new moon until It ap
peared us bright as that of the full
moon at midnight.
“Beneath the earth's surface tlie
dust plays hs fantastic a part as it
does above its crust. In mines It
increases inflammability and assists
iu explosion of gases which would
otherwise lie incombustible, probably
acting In tlie same capacity as (lie
j catalytic agent In a chemical reaction."

Scientist Makes Prediction Af

WEHIKE3 REPEAT8N9 ITSELF
Analysis of Data Covering Century In-
dicatee We Are Now Experiencing
Series of Alternations of Severe and
Mild Winters—A Season Above or
Below Normal in Temperature Like-
ly to Be Followed by One to Three
Just Like it.
Washington.-—That next winter will
lie a cold one Is the Indication of
weather data complied by Ur. C. F.
Brooks, formerly meteorologist of tlie
weather bureau here, and now associ
ate professor of meteorology and cli
matology at Clark university.
An analysis of tlie weather record3
of over u century indicates that we
are now experiencing a series of al
ternations of severe nnd warm win
ters. Last fall, on the basis of his
Investigations, Doctor Brooks said that
last winter would lie warm. It was.
And now be says that it is not un
reasonable to expect that next winter
will tie a cold one, nnd that tlie win
ter of 1922-23 will lie a warm one.
The weather seems to be repeating
itself. Tlie present series of sharply
alternating winters begun in 1017-18
with tlie cold weather of that year.
Tlie winier of 45 years before, 1872-
73, inaugurated a series of winters
that were severe, warm, severe, warm,
etc., until 1882-83. And 113 years ago,
indications from Incompletely kept
records are that the winter of 1804-5
began a similar series of alternations.
Identical Preliminaries.
These two previous remarkable se
ries of alternating cold and warm win
ters nnd the present one had almost
Identical preliminaries, Doctor Brooks
lias found. All three series wore pre
ceded by u few moderately mild win
ters, an ordinary or moderately cold
winter, and then n severe winter,
which opened the swings up and down
in tlie winter temperature. The first
of the moderate winters of the pres
ent series was 1913-14.
If tlie present surging of hot nnd
cold winters Is following the same pat
tern of the alternations of tlie seven
ties, it Is expected that they will end
with a severe winter In 1927-28.
Doctor Brooks' findings are based on
weather records from New Bedford,
Mass., New York, N. Y., Washington,
D. C., Cincinnati, O., and Chlcugo, III.,
for tlie present series and the alterna
tions of 45 years ago. Tlie data of
the series at the beginning of tlie cen
tury were obtuined from records made
nt Cincinnati, O., and at New Haven,
Conn.
They seem to hold for the whole
world, however, as lie has noted that
when large changes between the char
acters of successive winters occur on
one side of the Atluntlc, large ones
are usually occurring on the other side
hs well. Places os far separated as
Paris und Washington show this con
nection.
Centers of Action.
‘‘Such sequences of alternating cold
er and warmer winters were evidently
tlie result of an oscillatory movement
of tlie North Atlantic and North
American ‘grand centers of uctlon of
the atmosphere,”’ Doctor Brooks says.
That tlie centers of action of tlie
atmosphere, or tlie points of high and
low pressure, should lie intensively
studied from winter to winter to ullow
successful forecasts of the characters
of winters, Is urged by Doctor Brooks.
In discussing the predictions of tlie
familiar non-sclentlfic weather proph
ets who periodically make long-range
forecasts of tlie weather of tlie fol
lowing winter, Doctor Brooks points
out that American and European in
vestigators seem to lmve established
the fact that in ordinary times a sea
son appreciably above or below nor
mal in temperature is likely to be fol
lowed by one to three or more seasons
buying temperature departures in the
same direction.
"Thus it may lie that ‘forecasters’
of nfild or cold winters who rely on
some biological signs in autumn may
justly claim more than chance success,
though for reasons different from
those commonly advanced,” he de
clares. "Five out of tin* seven winter
predictions which came to me last fall
from newspapers east of the Missis
sippi river •.ere to the effect tlint lust
winter would lie mild, according to
indications afforded by birds, worms,
squirrels, muskrats, frogs, etc."
NEED OF BUSINESS PRACTISE
Many Co-cperctive Acsocintions Have
Failed Because of Lack of Finan
cial System.
Lni-k of proper financial systerm
lias been tlie cause of failures in many
co-operative associations, say special
ists of tlie bureau of markets, United
States Department of Agriculture, who
feel that now is an opportune time for
emphasizing the need of good business
practice among farmers.
Tlie bureau of markets has much
information on systems of accounts
and business practice for co-operative
associations, und either di-eetly or
through extension workers it is pre
pared to give assistance in installing
good accounting systems for co-oper
ative grain companies, cotton ware
houses, country creameries, fruit
shipping associations, egg circles, co
operative cheese manufacturing and
marketing associations, and co-oper
ative grain elevators.
Short courses of study In market ac
counting have been prepared and are
uspiI in a number of colleges through
out the country, nnd are also given
nt field points where marketing as
sociations are numerous. Systems of
accounts are furnished upon request,
nnd advice nnd assistance relative to
their installation Is given through cor
respondence nnd by means of bulle
tins especially prepared for this pur
pose.
