A Curious Natural Bridge.

J. P. Cameron sends to the En-.
0nainer the notes Of trip to the
Big Trees in Calaveras county, in
which he describes a natural
bridge across Coyote Creek, a trib.
utary of the Stsnislaus river. He
says:
I must admit that I had not
heard of this place until 1 was In.
formed of it at Douglas Flat. It is
off the road some 500 yards, but it
will we'll pay any one to visit It,.
Here Nature has shown her art in
building bridge over bold
mountain streana. A limestone
spring bursts out of a cliff of lime.
stone rocks and forms stalac-
titles which have grown and
projected until they have spanned
the entire stream anu united with
the limestone rock on the opposite
side, which is about 200 feet wide.
Over this bridge half dozen team
might pass abreast if there was a
road leading to it. Under the
bridge nature has made her grand
display, for it rests on arches fes.
TONED with stalacties In various
forms. The stream winds through
these arches in u tortuous direction
for about 240 feet. The arches 10
places are from 8 to 40 feet above
the water and span the stream from
II to rs feet. It might be called q
cave, under which hundreds of peo-
pie might sit. There have been
several balls aud picnics under the
highest arches The entrance from
the lower side is covered over with
masses of ferns clingiUg to
the rocks. This bridge Is
owned ty an old '49 miner, whose
name Is A. L. Barnes, and who has
a cabin below the bridge, filled
with curiosities. He thinks there
is a fortune in the bed of the river,
If he could get it out, so he lives In
hopes, even should he die in des.
pair. He says he came here a
beardless boy, but is now growing
old and gray.

On the one hand, philology has
shown that myth is an attempt
10 explain some natural phenome-
NON by endowing with human feel
ipgs and capacities the senseless
factors In the phenome non, as
when the ancient HindoO explain
cd thunderstorm as the shifting
Of Vritra by the unerring shafts of
Indra. On the other hand, a brief
survey Of barbAric superstitions as
shown how uncultured man, by the
best use he could make of his rude
common eense, has Invariably
come to regard all objects as en-.
doWed with souls, and all nature

titles shaped after the general pat
tern OF humanity. Thus Is sugge est

We need not wonder that
the Greeks in prehistoric times
should have personified the wind

Weller, or an invincible hero. When
We know that eome people believe
pots and kettles to have souls that

difficulty In understanding how
ether people may have deified the
blue sky as the sire of gods and
men. We see, moreover, that these
personifying stories are not par.
ables or allegories, but sober expla-
nations Of natural phenomena.
Where We have recourse to come

ancient was content with telling a

plausible to regard the clouds rs
