perilous Ascent Of the Natural
Bridge.

Mrs. j. N. McTeer who died at her
home in Wythevllle, Va, on Monday
last, was the relict of Col. Piper, who
gained national fame through his
perilous feet of climbing the natural
bridge, in Rockbriige, county, while
student at Washington College
(now Washington and Lee Universi-
ty). During the summer of 1918 he
ami three other students obtained
permission Of the President to spend
a day from the college, and they went
about twelve miles to the bridge. AS
soon as they arrived, in youthful glee
they commenced the ascent Of the pre-
cipitous sides Of the bridge, and Gu;
figures and names upon the stone.
Young Piper spied the name of
Wsshin ton standing above thou,
sands of others, aud started upward
to write his name above that OF the
first President. He made laborious
ascent and tinscribel his name fifty
feet above that OF Washington, and
continued upward, cutting his foot
holds with his knife until he sto1d
10 feet above his Mortified compan-
ions, whose entreaties for his return
had become more and.more difficult to
hear. From this point he turned for
the first time and looked downward.
to see that return was impossible,
since the knife that had carried him
SO lar was worn nearly to the handle,
Each moment was one OF intense sus'
pense to his companions. who from
below watched for and expected his
destruction at any time. Painfully
he worked few feet higher, until the
knife was useless, and he hung seem.
ingly on the face Of the precipice. lu
that position, between hope aud fear
he lived what seemed years, until res
cue came from above in the shape o
lasso and he was drawn up to thu
top Of the bridge. where he faintet
from exhaustion. ~

A Great Scientist Dead,

During The last twenty years the
name oil Charles Il. Darwin has be-
como very familiar to the reading
world as the propounder OF the devel-
oplnent theory Of life, but he has dis
inguishcd himself in other paths of |
science, and hisiieath, which occurred |
yesterday, will leave deeply regret

investigators Of the mystery OF AMI
mate and inanimate things.
Charles II. Darwin was son Of
the distinguished DR.. Erasmus Oar

Feb. 18th. 1909. He studied at Ell.

took his degree in 1881. lie sccom-
panied the British exploring expedi-
tion around the world as naturalist,
and was absent FIVE years { lS3l-36),
during which he visited South Amer.
ica. the Pacific islands, Australia,
New Zealand and others countries, and
secured a large am ,unt of valuable
scientific material, which he gave to
the world in three volumes in 1889.
He was elected fellow Of the Royal
Society in 1884, and before 1Si3
published his works on coral reefs,
geology Of volcanic islands and Of
South America and the zoology of the
expedition, and continued writing
scientific papers on various subjects.
In 1859 he published his celebrated
work on "Thc Origin Of Species by
t means Of Natual Selection" which
has beeu translated in all European
languages, aud has drawn forth .
