Tit-BiU, LITE AT DAWSON ClTY, till. leeiliiR Turn About tlio Milinpoln of Iho Kl.milikp. A journey of forty-five miles from Sixty-mile i'ost brought us to Uaws ui City, lh won 1 ;r 'ill city ol tlio now mining disiiict, populated almost inn ii i v tit. Although really nixty-livo ini es distant from tho Klondike, it is a typical mining camp, minm tho f; ins. Tho laws of the British govern ment are enforced nt Dn v.son, nnd luoso laws prohibit the uao of lire arms; consequently few men cany gun. In and ai'ound Iawson nt tho present time tlioro are about four llioiimiid mou and one hundrod and fifty wnmon. 1)iiwpou, of course, is very primi.ive nnd very dirty, although f.iim a reo-nt conversation v. Ph Mr. T,a luo T undorstand that every ctl'ort is I c-i n l made to clean it. Thoro are la; ye '. tocks of provisions in all tho situ chouses, nnd it looks ns though theie could bo no hunger in tho Klon dike. Thcie will 1 o liltlo or no low losanoss, i.n I then is a probability of very little fickne's. Tho Alaskan w inters are healthful. In Scpto nber can Im seen ipiniitities of black ducks wending their way southward, mi l even on thn directs of awon ynit can see tho spmrow and hoar its chirping. Here, ns everywhere in Ala din, nature has stored hcv trea sures in a safe of ice; in fact, ono w riter has called Alaska tho nation's icebox, but to mo it. roptesonts tho fuHiro paiadiso of poet a id painter, Niii'iro ha done much for l)awflon,hut tho energetic American basdone more. IIo has built wareh nisos in which he bits si m e. I acres of fuod, bui t pom forlable log-cabins, (iioctod a theatre, el.iblialied many saloons, billiard looiim and dance halls. The sums of money si.eiil in these billiard naloons and dance hails nre simply fabulous; fortunes change I hands every night nt tho different gamb ing devices. At linker in a single night .lOO.IIOH fre quently changed IiiiiuIn, it bcin.af noth i ig liuusiinl to Heo O J bet on a s inglo hand. Yet do not. infer from this that all tho minors aro gamblers. Manv of them never enter a saloon or ilunc'o hall. I have a little friend out there, nn old ::choolmate,w ho is teaching school, Sim hugely on.oyn her winters there. She is n' Circle City. She takes p. daily ride behind a splendid dog team, and, I tell you, it's (..rent fun. You t ide n while, and then you get out mid run; thou you get iu mi l ride again. No one ready knows what asleighrido is until ho rides behind a fine dog team. Tho inhabitants manage to got censi lernblo amuso.neiit. They linvo private dances, parties, and in tho summer time they oven have picnics. 'Iho Arctic winters aro most keenly lelt by those miners who nro ohligo.l nil through tho long, dark winter to live in tents and dugouts. Dawson City is rectangular in shape. It is laid out in town lots. Its streets are fiixty-six feet wide. It is situated on p. stretch of low ground on the northwest bank of the Yukon, just bo low the mouth of tho Klondike. Town lots in Dawson City aro sel.ing now at S."iM)il each. I'p to tho present time oo cents nt Dawson is tho smallest piece of money used; it is palled four bits. Both Protectant! an I Roman Catholics havo already established mission churches in Dawson. Those who visit Dawson noxt spriug will so a live metropolis. A llertl'ls Oililitir. Charles Konyon, who lives with his father on a farm near iiinghnmtou, N". , is ono of the strangest men in the world. Eveiy Bchool chi d is taught that tha hoart'is tho blood pump, situ p.ted on the left side of the breast, shaped like a pear and pointing down ward to the left. Charles Keuyou's ho.ut is inverted ; it is on the right side and points upward to the right. In fact, his whole circulatory system is l oversed. The arteries running Horn his heart me twisted and curled in bis bieast until they resemble a Chinese puzzle, and ono that oanuot be solvo-l by the physicians who have exnmiucd hliu. Notwithstanding this fact, he enjoys good hoitlth. Au old theory was that the heart was the seat oi rcasou and ruled the action cf man, and although this theory has been dis proved by science, in Mr. Keayou's caso it seoms to apply, liis every ac tion is governed by the heart. Ilis heart is wrong side up ami his actions nro correspondingly queer. What he docs is done exactly opposite from the ordinary way. When nt school his brst inclination was to write backward, beginning a, tiio bottom and riht side of tho slate. Of course, tho-o oddi ties havo been to a certain extent over come. Detroit Free Press. Tup Vitality of Seed. A very interesting meeting took place recently at the Chemical society, when Mr. Iloraco Brown delivered an address on the vitality of seeda that had been exposed to very low temper atures for a considerable time. The late Professor O. T. Romanes had al ready shown that seeds could be kept in au almost complete vacuum for a year or moro without tin lei going any deterioration iu their germinating; properties. A later worker also adopted the ingsnious device of seal ing up seeds in Oeissler tubes for a long period, when, on subsequently passing a spark, no glow due to in candescent carbonic acid gas or nitro Ken was obsorved, thus proving that the seeds do not exhale either of thso cases when kept. Mr. Brown in cou p motion with Professor Dowar, has maintained seeds at the temperature of liquid air (ISO cleg. C.) for a con iinnoc.s period if 110 hours. Onaub soqueutly carefully thawing tho see Is and testing thorn, they were found to he completely unaffected. They ger minated quit-; as freely as other test sec Is w hich ''ml n t been so treated, nnd, in fact, no difference iu their t6 h lor could be detected. LAKE SUPERIOR. fiitcriln!
