KNOWLEDGE IS MONEY.
Do you know that a while
tailed ptarmigan is worth one
hunred dollars
Do you know that a common
•roustabout sea gull, if il happens
to have some red feathers under
its wings, is worth five hundred
dollars?
Of course you don’t, nor did
we until we read an account of
the Kleinschmidt scientific ex
pedition, now touring Alaska. In
order to know these things and
find the market for scientific
specimens, one should have a
working knowledge of botany,
zoology, ornithology, and other
ologies which make up the train
ed student of natural history. The
Seward Gateway editor, who, by
the way, was the only editor in
Alaska |o witness the moon’s
eclipse at three o'clock in the
morning a few months ago, has
acquired a general fund of bug
information, and it is from him
that we get the following facts:
Very few people around here
realize.that the insect life that
is wantonly trodden under foot is
worth real money. Some of these
speciments—we don’t pretend to
know7 which ones, or w:e’d be. out
seeking them—may be sold for
as high as one dollar each. Oth
ers advalorem, bring from five
cents up to I he dollar mark.
One of the bugologists who is
a member of I he Kleinschmidt
scientific expedition, gathered *t>3A
worth of bugs the day he landed
from the Abler. The noxl day
he spent half the day scouting
about and picked up twenty dol
lars w'ortli. Hut this gentleman |
knew what he wanted, what it j
was when he found it alter he
gol it. There’s I lie rub.
It, might he informal urn to
some people to know that a while
tailed ptarmigan is worlh one
hundred dollars or more__il you
know where lo sell il. Also that
an ordinary looking sea gull Unit
happens to have red feathers un
der ils wings, will enrich you lo
the extent of live hundred dol
lars--^ you know wlial lo do with
the specimen after you gel it.
'Very rare indeed is this peculi
arly marked lord, hut it exists, in
nature and lias I.. found in
Alaska. Then* may lie some
around here for all we know, and
since we found out about their
high value we have been keeping
our weather eye open for a sight
of one.
Another rare sea gull, although
looking in other respects like the
scavengers which hang around
the beaches, is the one possess
ing red feet. Museums will pay
good money for such a gull.
Alaska from a scientific stand
point, is new and practically un
exploited. Specimens from it are
sought for by museums through
out the United States and foreign
countries. But to engage in the
industry of seeking rare speci
mens, you must be in the know
or your efforts will prove futile.
A little knowledge is worth money
sometimes._
According to an official, some
Chicago hospitals are fire traps.
This is one argument for good
health,
Congressmen are learning that
they represent not only their own
districts but the whole United
States. _
Ireland has gone dry, which
must be a great blow to the high
ball interests up there, with no
market for ice.
In any event, the city of the
future will he a more delightful
creation than the twentieth cen
tury monstrosity.
Notice.
It is possible to immune chil
dren against whooping cough by
vaccinating them with whooping
cough vaccine, a serum discover
ed only of late and found ef
fective for that purpose. I have
obtained a limited quantity
more on the way—and will vatic rX
nate any children wilhiq, the city
limits free of charge, if the par
ents apply at my office after 2
p. m. every day except Sundays.
This vaccine has no severe re
action, is free from any danger,
leaves no scar or produces any
.sore; i| is used as an injection
under the skin.
