Where II Never Rains.
sau Francisco Bulletin.

In Peru, South America, rain is un-
known. The coast of Peru is within the
region OF perpetual southeast trade
winds, and, though the Peruvian shores
are on the verge of the great southeast
border. vet it never rains there. The
reason is plain. The southeast trade
winds in the Atlantic ocean first strike
the water on the coast of Africa
Travelling 10 the northwest, they blow
obliquely across the OCEAN until they
reach the coast OF Brazil. BY this time
they are laden with vapor, which they
continue to bear along across the conti-
nent, depositing it as they 60 and sup
plying with ii the sources or the Rio de
la Plata and the southern tributaries of
the Amazon. Finally they reach the
SNOW capped Andes; here is wrun0 from
them the last particle of moisture that Il
very low temperature can attract.
Reaching the summit OF that range,
they now tumble down as cool and dry
winds on the Pacific Slope beyond.
Meeting with no evsporating surface,
and no temperature colder than that to
which they were subjected on the n oln.
tain tops, they reach the ocesn. Thus
we see how the tops )f the Andes be-
come the reservoir from which are sup
piled the river o.. Chill and Peru.

Testing the Eyes Of all Railroad En-
plOyes.
Philadelphia Record.

Railroad accidents have been ascribeC
to many causes, but rarely, if ever, doe,
the reader of public prints learn of an
accident attributed to cclor blindness
And yet such a defect in the eve of :
locomotive engineer has caused disaste,
and death. Cases where one train fol.
lows up another and telescope the real
cars are far more numerous than col.
lisions, where two locomotives butt
against each other. In these DAYS OF
double tracks the latter are almost i'm.
possible.
The other could be prevented at times
ii the engineer was able to distinguish
the warning light ahead. Bat he can
not. He mistakes red for green and
green for red; he confuses blue and
green he confounds almost every thing
except white light. A colored fae that
should stop him he diseerns az one which
indicates a clear track. The defect is
therefore vital. Upon trainman's
ability to distinguish signal depends
the safety of the travelling public.
To insure this, and also to examine as
to the proportion of population afflicted
with color blindness, the eminent oeulist,
DIR ?. ID. Keyser, surgeon of Wills
Hospital, has undertaken the task of
testing the eyes OF all the employees of
the rsilroads that center IN this city. A
reporter was curious To learn lust what
proportion Of the trsinmen were thus
affected, so he called at the doctor's 5

seated large squad of men from the
Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore
Line. The railroaders said that this
examination OF their eyes had been going

ted to witness some OF the examinations
as well as to have his own eyes tested.
The important requisite for railroader
is to distinguish colors, because all signals
are made with colored lamps or flags
In the tests the doctor uses all shades of
wool and pieces OF glass before fame.
The sharpness Of vision 10 each case is
also tested.
All railroad employees in Europe have
undergone such examinations, with the
discovery that about two per cent. of
them were color-blind. II is natural

How Logs Are Got Out of the Noun
talns.
Truckec NEVADA Republican


A chute is laid from the rivers brink
up the steep mountain TO the railroad
and, while we are telling it, the monster
logs are rushing, Numbering, flying,
leaping down the decli sity. They come
with the speed of thunderbolt, and
somewhat OF its roar A track OF fire
and smoke follows them-fire struck by
their friction with the chute logs. They
descend the 100 feet OF the chute In
fourteen seco DIS. In doing so thoy drop
700 ieet perpendicularly. They strike
the deep water of the pond with re-
port that can be heard mile distant.
Logs fired from a cannon Gould scarcely
have greater velocity than they have at
the foot of the chute. Their average
velocity is over one hundred feet in a
second throughout the entire distance,
and at the instant they leap from the
mouth their speed must be fully two
hundred feet per second. A sugar pine
log some times weighs ten tons. What
missile? How the water is dashed into
the air Like grand plume of dia-
monds and rainbows, the featheIy stray
is hurled TO the height of hundred feet.
1t forms the grandest fountain ever be-
held. How the waters of the pond toam
and seethe and lash against the shorel
One log, having spent its force by its
mad plunge into the deep waters, has
floated so as to be at right angles with
the path of the descending monsters.
The mouth OF the chute is, perhaps, fit-
teen feet above the surface of water. a
huge log hurled from the chute cleaves
the air and alights on the floating log.
You know how bullet glsnces, but can
you imagine saw-log glancing2 The
end strikes with heavy shcck, but
glides quickly past for short distance,
then a crash like the reverberation OF
artillery, the falling log springs $50 feet
vertically into the air, and with curve
like a rocket, falls into the pond 10 yards
from the log it struck.

The total represents the amoun. OF
money the government has invested in
| the District of Columbia under the
| items named, none OF which, under the
statutes, il taxable. The government
owns all the streets, avenues, alleys,
parks and public grounds in Washington,
and is proprietor of about one-half the
acreage of the city. In lieu of taxes it
annually provides one half OF the money
required to support the District govern
ment.
The money expended for works of art
seems enormous, but 1925, 900 of it is in
vested in the Corcorsn art gallery in
peculiar way. When the war broke out
Corcoran sympathized with the South
and went to Europe. The art gallery
which bears his name had been erected,
but not occupied. The government seized
it and used it during the war. When
Corcoran came home in 1865, he brought
auit for rent, and $l25,000 was paid him,
with stipulation that it should be
part of the endowment of the gallery.
The other investments for art have been
very extravagant. There are many good
pieces and many poor ones in the pcs.
session of the government, but in almost
every case extravagant prices have been
paid, and the purchase made for other
reasons than the artistic excellence of
the article. For instance the hideous
nude statue of Washington, which stands
opposite the east front of the capitol,
cost s42, ,17074. The equestrian statue
of Scott, at the intersection of Rhode
Island and Massachusetts avenues, which
is perhaps the best piece of its kind in
the city, cost the enormous sum OF $77,-
600. The equestrian statue OF Washing
| ton, which stands at the intersection of
Pennsylvania avenue, X and Twenty.
second streets, cost $5S, ,270, and Clark
Mills statue of Jackson, which occupies
Lasyetie square, opposite the Execu-
tive Mansion, cost S2S 442. The marble
| figure of Lincoln, which stands on a
marble shaft in front of the City Hall,
cost Sl5, 900, anu the wretched statue of
Rswlins, which stands down on the river
bank, surrounded by negro cabins, cost
$4,000.
The ridiculous groups of Columbus
and the Frontiersman's family on the
east portion of the Capitol cost the
former $4,000 and the later 1920
The historical paintings by Jonathan
Trumbull in the Capitol rotunda cost
SS2, 900, and Healy's collection of Presi
dental portraits cost $500, which was
as good an investment az any made
| Another good investment was the $60,-
COO spent in frescoing the Capitol cor
ridors and committee rooms. Brady's
collection OF photographs of distinguished
men cost S25 ,000.
1t appears that Major liEnfant, the
Frenchman who planned the city of
Washington in 1892, received only 81 1874

tect who designed the Capitol building,

No woman likes to be ugly, and she
who is born beauty il fortunate indeed,
But let not the plain or even the ugly
girl despair of acquiring a sufficient
amount of beauty 10 render her attract>
i've. When woman loses a desire to
please she loses half her charms Meth
ing is more conducive to beauty than
cheerfulness and good humor, and no
sickly or unhappy woman can be good
humored and cheerful. Every woman
ought to understand that nothing short
of deformity can make woman utterly
unsttrsctive, provided she will study her
points; and points OF attrsctiyeness every
woman has. A thoroughly refined,
graceful manner can be acquired by sny
woman, and is a powerful charm. The
best grace is perfect naturalness. Still,
you must study yourself, and form your
manners by the rule of that art which is
but carrying out of the law OF nature,
But if it is your nature to be forever
assuming some unpicturesque, ungrace-
ful attitude, pray help nature with a
little art. II you are stout, avoid the
smallest chair in the room. IT you are
thin, do not carry yourself with your
chin protruding and your spinal column
curving like the bowl of spoon. Do
not wear flimsy materials made up with
out ruflls or puff or founce to fill up
the hard outlines of your bad figure, so
cruelty defined by the tightly pulled
back draperies. Study the art of dress.
We once knew a very plain woman who
dressed so tastefully that it was an abso-
lutte pleasure to look at her, If you
have been moping until you are sick
with the thought of your own hopeless
ugliness, be up and doing.
