IN UNKNOWN ALASKA
EXPIORA.TIOXS BETWEEN ARCTIC
CIRCLE AND POLAR SEA.

The most difficult and hazardous "work
of exploration ever undertaken by the
Geological Survey In Alaska was carried
out last season. It vms a reconnolssance
Burvey through the middle o Northern
Alaska from the region of the upper Koyu
kuk River on the Arctic Circle to the Arc
tic coast at the mouth of the Colville
River. The starting point in the center of
Northern Alaska, says the New York Sun,
is very remote, the country between
the Arctic Circle and the northern coast
was almost wholly unknown and owing
to the extreme shortness of the season
and the uncertainty of transportation It
was problematical whether the undertak
ing could be carried out In one 'summer.
Plans for studying this unexplored part
of the territory had been considered as
early as 1897, but on account of the reasons
above indicated they were not carried out
until last Summer, when, the conditions
were more favorable, owing to the discov
ery of gold along the upper Koyokuk In
1S98 and 18S9, which have led to the loca
tion of a couple of trading posts near the
Arctic Circle. It was possible, therefore,
to forward supplies to one of these sta
tions in advance of sending the explorers
to the starting point of their journey.
The work was placed In charge of "Vr. J.
Peters and G. P. Phillips, topographers,
and F. C Schrader, geologist. Mr. Schro
der has written an account of this Jour
ney for the Bulletin of the American Geo
graphical Society, from which the follow
ing facts are taken:
The outfit, including canoes and supplies
lor the season's work, was shipped from
San Francisco In 1900 and stored at Berg
man, the mining trading post at the Arctic
Circle on the Upper Koyokuk, until the
surveying party called for them last sea
eon. It was necessary for the surveyors to
reach the field of work before the break-up
of winter on account of the shortness of
the season and the desire to reach Point
Barrow by September 1, in order to catch
a steamer homeward bound. The party,
therefore, set out from Skagway In Feb
ruary of last year, crossed the coast range
by the "White Pass Railroad and then
traveled down the Yukon and across coun
try to Bergman on the Koyukuk. This
Journey was made by dog-sled, 1200 miles,
Bergman being reached on April 10.
Winter travel In Alaska has been con
siderably Improved since the time when
the development of the Klondike gold
mines made winter communication with
the coast important. Travelers do not
ride on the sled, which is used only for
carrying supplies and luggag; they follow
behind afoot, urging the dogs forward
or run ahead on snowshoes to break a trail,
if none exists, or it has been drifted over.
The dogs are hitched tandem from five to
Jiine in a team. They have only one meal
a day, consisting of meal or flour cooked
with meat, fish or grease. Gold prospect
ors throughout Alaska say that they
themselves can go farther and accomplish
more hard work on rice and bacon than
on any other ration.
About 25 miles a day is a good average
day's drive. The mail carriers on the
lower Yukon have made, however, as high
is 60 miles, which is the record, in tho
Yukon country. Two classes of dogs are
used, tho natives consisting of Slwash
and Malemut animals and the imported
dogs of various breeds, mostly from the
United -States. The imported dog excels
in intelligence and Is desirable for a
leader; but the native dog is best for all
around service and for. long, hard trips,
as he repulrep less food and care, and
aavlng a dense pelt, much like that of a
wolf. Is much less affected by hardship
and exposure.
Sled travel in the upper Yukon country
has been rendered less arduous in the
past few years by the so-called road
houfes, each consisting usually of a log
cabin and a dog kennel. Tho roadhouses
are situated a fair day's drive apart. Tho
accommoaauons are very ruae ana uic
price of meals is 51 50, but the weary
traveler has the shelter and rest he needs
and does not have to haul so large an
amount of supplies as would otherwise be
necessary. After tho party parsed Daw
son and reached Fort Yukon, however,
there were no roadhousss across country
to the Koyukuk. Along this last stage
of the route travelers, unless provided
"with tent and stove, dig a bole through
three or four feet of snow to the ground
for a fireplace In which to cook. In sleep
ing on the snow and ice spruce boughs
form a desirable mattress, where they can
be found.
Arriving at Bergman, the party had to
wait for tho disappearance of the snow
and ice, which In the Spring covers tho
country with slush to a depth of several
feet, rendering travol Impossible. This
period of thaw lasted until June 6.
At the end of tho thaw the party pro
ceeded by river steamboat from Bergman
up the Koyukuk to Beetles, the second
supply post, near the sixty-seventh paral
lel, and on June 13 the work of explora
tion was fairly begun. The John River, a
large tributary of the Koyukuk, flowing
very swiftly from the mountains of tho
north, was ascended with much difficulty
in Peterborough canoes to Its head
waters. The current was so rapid that It
was very ulfficult to make head against it.
At tho headwaters a five-mile portage
through the mountains, 2500 feet above sea
level, brought the party to tho upper
waters of the Anaktuvuk, the large east
fork of tho Colville River, which flows
north to the Arctic Coast, These rivers
were descended by a canot and tho coast
was reached on August 15. The general
direction of. the journey from Koyukuk
to the arctic ocean was along the 151st
meridian.
The party mapped a considerable por
tion of the Colvlllo delta, and then con
tinued their survey work 100 miles north
westward by canoe along the coast to
Smith Bay. Here, owing to the lateness
of the season, the survey was dropped
and the party embarked with Esquimaux
in native walrus skin boats, reaching
Point Barrow on September 3, where they
found that the last whaler had departed
and that the ocean was expected to freeze
up within a week. Procuring supplies
and a whaleboat, they proceeded rapidly
eouthwestward along the coast, and were
bo fortunate as to meet the steamer Arctic
near Capo Hope, which carried them to
Nome, where they embarked on a steamer
for Seattle.
Their discoveries In the wide stretch of
unknown country between the Koyukuk
and the Arctic Ocean were interesting.
The Koyukuk Is one of the largest tribu
taries of the Yukon, which it enters on
the north about 450 miles above Its mouth.
It is navigable by steamboat to Bergman,
450 miles above its mouth, and at high
water to Bettles, SO miles farther, making
nearly 1000 miles of navigation above the
mouth of the Yukon.
In the neighborhood of the 68th parallel
the explorers crossed a rugged range of
mountains, which was found to have
a width of about 60 miles and an ele
vation of 6000 feet. This range Is sup
posed to be tho northwestward continua
tion of the Rocky Mountains, which here
trend nearly east and west across Alaska,
forming a great water parting between
the Yukou on tho south and rivers flowing
to the Arctic Ocean on the north. It was
not expected to find these mountains ex
Bridge. tending In such enormous proportions so
far to the west: there now seems to be
little doubt that they extend through to
the west coast In the neighborhood of
cape Llsburne. though decreasing In ele
vation and width to the west. In the re
gion of the 152d meridian the north edge
of the mountains lies about 150 miles
from tho coast. East of this the range
curves strongly to the north northeast,
'o that in the reslon of the 117th meridian
the mountains He quite near to the coast.
On the south tho rise to the mountains
Is rapid and through foothills. On the
north the mountains break off .abruptly,
and a gently rolling plateau country, slop
ing very gradually toward the sea, begins.
It extends north a distance of 100 miles,
where the costal plain is entered, a nearly
flat, tundra country, continuing 75 miles
to the arctic coast.
A moderate growth of spruce and Cot
tonwood, was found along: the John River
clear Into tho mountains to near the .mid
dle of the range. Here the timber line is
about 1000 feet above sea level. Above
this point to the coast the only specimen
of timber Is the willow, much stunted in
growth, rarely large enough to supply a
tent pole. Near the coast the willow
disappears or becomes a mere shrub, less
than knee high, or Is limited to the trail
ing variety, with only the points of the
leaves appearing above tho moss of the
tundra. Drift timber washes ashore at
various points along the coast and Is
used by the natives for fuel. The coast
appears to be totally bare of timber from
the north of the Colville down to beyond
Cape Llsburne.
Trout were found In some of the tribu
taries of the John River and also in the
Anaktuvuk and some of Its tributaries of
the Colville system. A kind of white fish,
caught by net, appears to be the principal
fish resource of the natives along the
coast Mountain sheep and caribou were
found among the mountains along the
upper John River; they form an Important
food resource of the natives. Caribou are
sometimes hunted as far north as the
coast; a few bear are found in the moun
tains, and polar bear are often killed by
the natives along the chores of the ocean.
The ptarmigan Is the most conspicuous
bird refund at all seasons of tho year, but
during the latter part of the Summer
ducks In very large quantities are killed
by the coast natives.
THE HAT AND THE HAIR
Hotv tbe Headpiece Interferes With
the Growth of Hair.
Medical Talk.
The writer of this equlb has much hair
on his head. As a young man It was black
as a crow's wing, curly, the envy of rivals
and the despair of Imitators; as a middle
aged man. iron-gray, thick, luxuriant, with
no disposition to grow less. How does It
happen that this one individual is singled
out from all the rest to be the possessor
of so much hair? Has It been the use of
hair tonics? Is it the result of frequent
shampoos by the barber? Has he been
spending money for some favorite hair
restorer? Nothing of the sort. None of
these things have happened. It has been
brought about neither "by wise manage
ment nor heredity. This is the way It
happened: Tho head upon which this lux
uriant hair grows Is of long diameter from
before backward, but of short diameter
from side to side; that Is to say, a long,
thin head, with rather hollow templea
This makes It Impossible for him to buy
a hat that fits tightly to his head. H1e
head being so long, he is obliged to buy a
7, which is always too wide for his thin
head. He has probably never worn a hat
In his life that flt tightly over the tem
ples. Well, what has all this to do with lux
uriant hair? It has much to do with it.
The temporal arteries that Hupply the scalp
with blood run up tho side of the temples.
The average person wears a hat that fits
-tightly over the temples. This constriction
of the arteries and veins that supply the
circulation of the blood, and the pressure
of the hat upon these blood vessels, cut
off in part the circulation of the blood to
the scalp.. This makes the hair unhealthy
and Inclined to drop out. Baldheadedness
comes on prematurely. But in case of the
long-headed person we are describing no
hat could be found that would flt tightly
across tho temples.
It is no wisdom of his that preserved
his hair, but merely the accidental shape
of his head. He has always been obliged
to wear a hat that touched the forehead
and back of the head, but did not touch
tho sides of his head. This left tho circu
lation of the blood free to the scalp.
Hence the bristling, rugged, healthy mop
of hair on his head. Each hair stays in
Its place with the tenacity of a pine stump.
A pound weight would not be sufficient to
pull out a single hair.
Now, if there is any lesson to be learned
from all this, It is simply to avoid wearing
anything on the head that presses the tem
ples. This Is probably tho reason that
women have a better growth of hair. It
is rare indeed to see a baldheaded woman.
It is very .common to see a baldheaded
man. Women's hats are worn as or
naments rather than for protection.
They rarely touch the head at all. Men
wear hats tightly clasped about the head,
Interfering with the circulation of the
scalp. This is why they are bald. They
ought to be bald. If they don't know any
better. Doubtless they will continue to
be bald, In spite of this article or anything
else that can be written. Round-headed
men are bound to become baldheaded, sim
ply because their hats hug tightly to their
heads.
TiErer-Hnntins' Girl.
Madras Mail.
Your readers will again be very glad to
hear that the young Hindu girl shikari
bagged a leopard. After I reported In my
last letter how this lady had accomplished
a elmilar feat a report reached her father,
the Rajah of Jatpole, that a tiger had
made Its appearance in the neighborhood
and killed a cow. Hearing this, the Rajah
ordered a shikari party. His daughter, the
young lady in question, happened to be
there at the time, and requested that she
might be allowed to accompany the party.
Thereupon tho Rajah explained to her all
the dangers of the tiger-shooting, and said
that It Is not co easy to kill a tiger as to
kill a leopard. But she could not be moved.
She said -that so long as she was by the
side of her father she would face any
danger. The father gavo In. All started
and reachedHhe place, when, lo! the tiger
came with its leaps and bounds, and the
Rajah aimed at its neck. This shot pro
duced such an uproar In the beast that I
(who was one of tho party) began to trem
ble; but the child stood steadfast. Not
only this, but the young lady was so cour
ageous and resolute in her purposo that
she immediately aimed a shot at Its plank
bone, just above the armpit. When the
beast fell roaring on the ground, licking
the wound, tho father, thinking the tiger
might n6t have been killed at the shot
received from his daughter, discharged the
second barrel and killed it on the spot,
B
Tho Gulf Stream Myth.
Scribner'sl
In the light of science today the Gulf
Stream av a determining factor in climate-forming
loses all of its old-time
glamour. Moreover, what is true of its
relative insignificance In this respect is
also true, a fortiori, of the Kuro Slwo,
or Japan Current. This current, a very
much feebler stream than the Gulf
Stream, owing to the enormous sizo of the
mld-Paclfic basin and the unfavorable
configuration of the Asian continent, has
few of the dramatic characteristic of the
Gulf Stream, and yet the Mauryari myth
has endowed It also with the vir
tues supposedly belonging to Its Atlantic
congener, and It Is but recently that the
Chamber of Commerce of San Francisco
was passing resolutions about It, since
they bellied that, If its shlftings could
be studied, California weather might bo
foreseen long in advance. In this they
were confusing effect with cause, and

were on the wrong track. Had they
passed resolutions about the shifting of
the great Pacific anti-cyclone they would
have hit the nail on tho head, since it Is
the variation In Its pressures and in its
position that makes for climatic and
weather changes on the Pacific Coast, and
also causes any shifting In the drift of
ocean currents. And the same Is true of
the Atlantic basin the gulf stream shift
ing with the winds and tho general bar
ometric stresses; which shifting, far from
being the cause of any weather vagary.
Is an indication of the secondary relation
of the ocean current to the primary
cause of weather changes, tho shifting of
the aerial currents; in tine, the anti-cyclone
Itoelf. Wo who live In the Atlantic
seaboard states of the United States no
tice tho effect of the shifting of the
anti-cyclone lees than Europe, perhaps,
since for the most part weather In the
East is not brewed in the ocean, because
the aerial drift moves from west to east,
and carries the oceanic Influences east
ward, or away from our shores. But oc
casionally Atlantic anti-cyclone obtrudes
on our Southern coasts with very re
markable results; at times apparently re
versing the seasons by setting up a south
to north (southeast to northeast, south
west to northeast) circulation that Is the
primary cause of the spells of balcyonlc
weather that have been variously chris
tened "Indian Summer."
