canyono. .ne aann.son.

Beyond Gunnison City the railway
runs through the valley OF the same
name, closely following the river. Soon
the well worn channel grows narrower,
the cliffs mount higher; vegetation is
less abundant, and suddenly the sun
light is entirely shut out by broken sum-
mits. and the black canyon Of the Gun
nison holds us Fast in its embrace. This
gorge is grander, deeper, darker and
beautiful than the Royal which we
passed through earlier in the day. IT is
thrice as long and much more verdant.
and although its walls are of red sand
stone they are sufficiently dark hued to
give the place its name. AT times the
canyon narrows and is full of sharn
curves, but again it has long, wide
stretches, which enable one to study the
steep crags that tower heavenward two
or three thousand feetabove us. An open
observation car is attached to the train,
and the lovers of nature feast upon the
charms of this wonderful locality.
Currecanti Needle, the most abrupt OF
the towering pinnacles, stands like q
grim sentinel, watching the CANYONS
soiitudes. 1t is red imed from point tc
base, and has allthe grace and symmetry
of Cleopatran obeiisk. The sunlight
which bathes the pine tops in golden hale
never reaches down the dark red walls
Huge powders lie scattered about and
project out many feet above the travel
ers' heads, as though about to fall
SoTnber shades prevail; fitful winds sweeI
down h deep ciefts; the rushing greer
hued river fills the space with sullen roar.
Everything is on asccdle of grand proper
tons; detail is supplanted by magnifi
cence, n ones feelings are stirred t.
their very depths. = Cor. New York

A Dog That ".Blinkcd."

1t is a queer psychological fact that
highly bred settlers and pointers, with
their instincts well developed, often be-
come frightened at the first real opera
ton of the pointing instinct and never
recover from it, A local sportsman had
a well bred, fancy pedigreed setter which
he raised with due regard for his future
usefulness in the field, and at maturity
started out to give him a trial on game.
True to his nature the dog galloped over
the fields in the merry style of his trained
ancestors, and coming suddenly upon a
large covey of birds he stopped at the
scent of the birds in obedience to his
pointing instinct.
The dog had never seer a game bird,
and the odor of the cover rose SO thickly
about him that he was fairly intoxicated
with the delightful sensation of the
''point." He shivered in his excitement,
and SO pronounced was the effect upon
him that his hair rose with his sensa-
tions. Presently the birds began to rise
with a noisy whir, and the unexpected
sight of quails and the noise they made
getting away SO alarmed the dog that he
turned tail and ran off to hide in the
bushes. Since that time the dogs fear
of birds has been SO great that he always
runs away from them. He will hunt
diligently to find birds, and he will make
his point after they are found, but the
moment he stops to point he recolIects
his first birds, and with the most abject
expression he steals away from the
object he has worked SO hard to find.
This popularity is by no means uncom.
mon, and sportsmen have named the act
blinking. Chicago Tribune.

Effects OF Using the Telephone.

At the meeting of the American Oto-
logical society in Washington, DR.. Clar.
erlce j. Blake, of Boston, read q paper
on the influence Of the use of the tele-
phone or hearing power. He thinks
that this influence must be injurious, be-
s dause the. extremely en- sra low intensity as ta as
sounds to be caught from the telephone,
compelled q strain of the ear which soon
fatigued it, and made it especially liable
to injury by the aceidenn1S sounds of
comparatively high internally, which
were constantly liable to be heard. DIR.
@. II. Burnett said he had seer several
patients who believed that the continued
use of the telephone had impaired their
hearing. DR.. O. d. Pomeroy gave the
case OF a patient who said the use Of the
telephone fatigued her very much, and,
she thought, had made her decidedly,
worse.-Science.

JAPANESE ARTISANS.

Carpenters Who Work In Crude Ways. but
Achieve Superior Results.
The Japanese artisan has four hands
and twelve fingers. He uses his feet as
an extra pair OF hands, and his two great
toes can wrap themselves around the
articles with which he works like an
Americans thumb. / saw q cooper at
work mending a bucket. He held the
bucket between his feet while he sat
down to his work and put on the hoops
with a hammer and wedge. his legs
were bare and his cue was tied in the
old japanese fashion, while his almond
eyes closely watched the work he had
before him. After ten minutes Of pound
ing he laid down his tools and took q
smoke, and during the hour that l sat
near him he smoked four times. The
Japanese pipe only holds a pinch of
tobacco, and he could do this cheaply,
but the time consumed was at least
twenty minutes. This perpetual siesta
is one OF the features of Japanese labor.
| am told by old American residents that
o Japanese workman will not do one
third as much a day as an American
workman, and in every case they seem
to do their work in the hardest Of ways.
The methods of labor in Japan are the
direct opposite of those in America. The
carpenters, for instance, pull their planes
the other way, and when they use the
drawing knife they push it from them
instead of pulling it towards them. They
do most of their work sitting and they
do all the work on the pull stroke in
stead Of the push stroke, and they stand
the board as q rule at an agile of As dogs.
against something rather than lay II On
q bench or sawhorse as we do. They do
their marking, not with chalk, but with
q reel and an linked string when they
wish to saw In a straight line, and the
whole Of the work of turning the rough
logs into the finest of cabinet work is
done by hand.
There are no planning mills in Japan,
and the sawmills can be counted on the
fingers Of one hand. The usual method
OF saving logs into boards is to stand the
log at an angle against the support and
saw it by hand. The saw used is not the
powerful cross cut saw of America, but
a wide short Japanese instrument, which
has a handle about two feet long, and
which looks like a butchers ~cleayer filed
into a saw.
