NOT OPPINIONS OF
RAINBOW CHASERS
Secretary Daniels of the naval
department stated at Portland,
j Oregon, that he believes that,
although the Pacific Northwest
j has made great growth in the
! last few years, yet this is a
’ mere bagatelle in comparison
with the growth that lies be
fore it after the opening of the '
Panama canal.
Secretary Lane of the depart
I ment of the interior had not
j Song before spoken of the im
l mense recources of Alaska,
where grass grows waist high
j in summer on 65.000.000
acres of tillable soil. He has
faith that, if congress will ap
propriate money to build an
Alaskan railway, the two fol
| lowing years will see an Alas
,kan immigration of permanent
settlers that “will pale into
i insignificance the rush to the
i government lands within the
! nation itself.
These two forcasters of the
future of the last West are
neither exploiters nor unin- \
formed rainbow chasers. They
are practical men of affairs,
well acquainted with coridi -
lions in the regions of which
they spe3k and with their re
sources and capacities for de
velopment. The speakers are
sincerely expressing the hon
»
est convictions of their sober
t judgement.
i __
What they state simply voices
the deliberate conclusions of
every man who has traveled
through the Pacific Northwest
and Alaska, studied their un
paralled wealth in forest, fish
ery. farm and mine and their i
unique strategis advantages in
relation to the commerce of
Australasia, China, the Easi
Indies and Japan, and finally
reflected on the previous pro
gress of development and the
march of empire in the United
States and Canada during 4 he
nineteenth century.
All momentum that has been j
gained by Americans during I
these hundred years of our con
quest of a continent now hear
on the onward advance of
these Pacific states. The pres
sure of population from th?
East, especially its congested
cities, and from Europe im
pels immigration into the vast
vacancies of the West. It can
not fail to flow more freely and
fully from European cities
through the canal than over
the transcontinental railways.

JAWS OF WILD ANIMALS.
Th*ir Fearful Power le What Makaa
the B'tee So Tarribls.
Apart from all concomitant dan
ger of blood poisoning, the severity
of the bites of tlesh eating animals
is out of all proportion to the weap
ons by which they are inflicted.
The teeth, even of the largest car- !
nivora, are merely the “spearheads,” j
hut the force which “works” these j
instruments is prodigious. It seems
ns if for the moment the animal
threw all its bodily energy into the
combination of muscular action
which we call a “bite.”
In most cases the mere shock of
impact as the animal hurls itself
on its enemy is entirely demoraliz
ing or inflicts physical injury.
A muzzled mastiff will hurl a man
to the ground in the effort to fasten
its teeth in his throat or shoulder, j
Then, the driving and crushing |
force of the jaw muscles is astonish
ing. The snapping power of an ali
gator's jaws is more or less intelli
gible. They are long and are fur
nished with a row of pointed teeth
from end to end.
But the jaws of a lion, leopard,
tiger, otter, ferret or baboon are
short, and the long and pointed
teeth are few. Yet each of their
species has a biting power which in
proportion to its size is almost in
credible.
Sir Samuel Baker, who had a long
and varied acquaintance with the
bites of the carnivora noticed that )
the tiger usually seized an Indian
native by the shoulder, and with one
jaw on one side and the other on
the other bit clean through che6t
and back.
“The fatal wound was the bite,
which, through back and chest, j
penetrated to the lungs.” Euro
peans are killed by the tiger’s bite
as well as lacerated by the claws. In
nearly all cases the bite penetrates J
to the lungs. This kind of wound
is characteristic of the attacks of
many of the felidae.
Scarcely any bird recovers from a
cat’s bite for the same reason. The i
canine teeth are almost instantly
driven through the lung, under the
wing. The cheetah, which has a very
small mouth, always bites through
the black buck’s throat. The leop
ard, when seizing smaller animals,
such as dogs, crushes the head.
When attacking men it aims at bit
ing through the lungs.—St. Louis
