The mystery which for nearly fifty
years had hung over the Bauderet home
stead was cleared up when the house was
torn down. The laborers came in course
of their work to low, narrow hidden
room, damp and repulsive, in the middle
of which lay skeleton clothed in rotten
garments. This was the body of Charles
Marot Bauderet, whose sudden disap-
pearance about the time of the marriage
of Isobel Des Champs to Augustin Verot
had given rise to so many wild stories.
In fact, so absolute had been the mystery
that not the faintest clue to the missing
man had ever been found until this reve-
lation by the workmen divulged every.
thing.
Immediately after the discovery of
Bauderet's skeleton inquiry was begun
as to the whereabouts of Verot, who was
traced and found an old man, widowed
and childless and friendless, on the island
of Corsica. He told his story as l have
told it to you, and, as if the relief from
the long strain of his hideous secret had
relaxed his whole being, he fell at once
into state of collapse, from which
nothing could rally him. He died in his
74th year, muttering with almost his last
breath:
'Isobel, Isobel, it was all for you! l
gave him the grave he meant to give me.
1t was close and silent tomb, but at
last-at last-it-has-given- CIV
en- up-its secret"

The leading pork packers Of
Chicago scout the idea that Russia will
be able to keep the American hog from
foreign markets. The propose1 plant
to e erected near Moscow at q cost Of
$50, 900, they say, would be utterly i'm
capable of competing with Chicago
packers. that sum not being sufficient
to furnish facilities for economic work.
They also claim that there are not
enough hogs raised in all Russia to
keep one Chicago house running one
month.
A cablegram was received ~ Charles
A. Pillsbury, of Minneapolis, from the
American consul at Odessa, Russia,
It says the wheat crop is 25 per cent
short and the rye crop 60 per cent short
This means a deficiency Of SO, OOO, 600
bushels of wheat and 3eO, 1000, 600 BUSH
els Of rye. If the figures are even APP
proxlmately correct, Russia must be a
large importer of bread-stuff during
next season, instead of being, as in av-
erage years, an exporter nearly equal
to the United States.

the railroad track in no danger He
thinks the stream from Colorado Is q

which will be rendered valuable by
the availability of water for irrigation.

the case in the Colorado delta at the
present time, but it is not yet known
whether the branch is small or great,
1t is, however, likely to be trivial ana
to involve but a slight inundatlon OF
the interior basin.
In the southwest portion OF the uni

Great Basin, where the rainfall is SO

sink into sands. This region OF the
country embraces part OF Southern
California, the greater part OF Nevada.
much of Utah and the western hall OF
Arizona. In it are other districts,
like the one at the head OF the quiz
Of California, that sink below the
level of the sea. The most notable
one is Death valley. This region is be-
set by long north-and-south ranges OF
mountains, usually not very high. In
late geolistic times it has been the scene
of great volcanic activity, the noun
tainS being in large part or volcanic
origin. Between the mountains there
are deep basins. The Great Salt lake
lies in one. Pyramid lake is another'
but there are many more. The basins
themselves are being slowly filled as
the rain, falling on the low noun
tains, carries the product OF dislnte-
grafton down into the valleys. THESE
depressed valleys that have no outlet,
but which gather the wash from the
mountains, are locally known as playas,
and except when they are filled with
salt lakes they are fearful deserts, much
like the one described at the head OF
the gulf of California. All OF these
playas are valuelesS; none OF them can
be redeemed even by irrigation. For
even IL there was water they are so
saline that crops cannot grow thereon.
In the region described as being with
out rivers that run to the sea, the little
irrigable land is chiefly found at the foot
of mountains or in elevated valleys
among mountains. Hence it is that set
Element of the region must always be
exceedingly sparse.
Gold, silver and other minerals are
found in the mountains, and thus min
ing industries are established, but there
is scarcely agricultural land enough to
supply with the necessary food the peo-
ple engaged in mining. Where the water
can be put upon the land by carrying
out the few streams or by sinking wells
agriculture is highly productive. IL
is semi-tropical region and all
such a region can be there raised sue
cessfully. Oranges, lemons and all Cit
rio fruits grow there with luxuriance.
No more bountiful vineyards can be
found in the world. In some parts OF
the country cotton and sugar cane. are
raised successfully. and now the date
palm of Egypt is cultivated, and it APP
pears to be far more productive than
even In the valleys of the Nile. Such

Cannlbalism in the Congo.

LONDON, July 24.-Advices just re-
ceived from Stanley Falls, in the Congo
Free State, tell of cannibalism among
natives and of an armed expedition
against them. Natives along the Lo-
mani river, who had blocked the stream
with hundreds of armed canoes, killed
and ate fifty natives friendly to Europe
ans. An expedition composed OF ten
Europeans and so Arabs soon after left
Stanley Falls to punish the cannibals,
and after days battle succeeded In
routing them and occupying their viii
lagos. Hundreds of the rebelious ma
tives were killed and wounded. The
same advices also state that the Baku-
mas around Stanley Falls are returning
to cannibalism, and that several of them
have been court-martialed and executed.

ed only a small portion OF the water
flowed south into the gulf OF California;
q large portion OF it evapOrated, and
this caused the waters TO be brakish,
and to deposit a part of the materials
held in solution as an incruStation over
the rocks all about the margin OF the
lake. The outline Of the lake Is very
plain and can be- easily traced. While
we know but one occasion when this
basin was thus filed TO the level
OF the gulf, we know that it has many
times been partly filled. The break
of the Colorado into this upper
basin is very rarely great enough 10

ally it sends out but small stream, so
that only a small portion of the river Is
carried To the north. Then the desert
sands are slowly saturated and q
shallow inundatiOn of the lower grounds
is produced, which later in the season Is
all dried up. This may be the case at
the present time. We have not Sufh-
cient information about the new chan

which will be carried into the basin.
The origin Of the delta dam, by when
the little salt sea was cut of from the
gulf is Of much interest. The Colorado
river drains 4 region OF about TWO nun
dred and fifty thousand square miles,
much of the region is desert Inc
country thus drained lies at great altl-
tude above the sea, rising from TOUR
thousand feet up to SUBMITS OF the
mountains which stand on its ridge,
some of which are fourteen thousand
feet high. This is the great canyon
land where the streams run in deep
gorgeS hundreds and thousands OF feet
below the general level of the country.
The few rains that come here wash the
rocky lands clean Of soil and sand ana
thus the river is charged with red muc
which itpours into the gulf Of California.
This gulf was originally known as YER
million sea, so named because its waters
are discOlored by the floods of the Colo
RADIO. The delta dam which was
built across the gulf is very broad. In
some places It's surface is covered Oy

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Water has

Of the last years greenery. But this

Is marrow. A hundred miles back OF

what is known as the Colorado desert.
The Gulf Of California is narrow body
OF water about six hundred miles in
length lying parallel with the Pacific
coast, from which IL is separated by the
narrow but mountainous peninsula OF
California. This gulf, not long, long
ago, as biologists speak, but many CEN
turtles ago as historians speak, extended
about two hundred miles farther 20 the
northwest, still parallel to the coast.
But the gulf itself has been shortened
20 it's present limitations in compare
lively modern times. The Colorado
river heads in Fremont peak, far to the
north, and is one of the great streams
OF the continent. 1t drains a vast dis
trict of country, much OF which is COM
paratively arid, aud from this dry re-
gion it gathers an enormous body Of
sand. The mouth of the Colorado is
now at the head OF the present gulf Of
California, but when the gulf extended
farther nOrthward this mouth was nearly
two hundred miles below it's head. The
river charged with sand poured an i'm
mense load into the gulf Of California
and built a delta out from its mouth,
which, extending from year to year and
century to century, finally constructed

stated. A long time, centuries OF CEN
turtles, has passed while this vast pro-
cess OF degradation has been going on.
But during this long geologic period
2 rock a mile in thickness and two hun
dred and fifty thousand square miles in
extent has been beaten into sands by
the storms OF the region and the Colo
RADIO River has borne them to the sea.
The little delta dam at the mouth
OF the Colorado retains but a very
small part Of the material which
that river has transported. But it
began the work before there was
a Gulf of California and before the
Deninsula of California was upheaved
so as to form a gulf distinct from the
Pacific ocean. This little delta, thirty
or forty miles wide, and extending
across the old gulf, is but late. crea-
tion OF the indefatigable river, which
has been engaged in a like labor a
length Of time which cannot be meas
ured in years.
Since this great depression in the
heart OF the Colorado desert was first
discovered, the scheme has been many
times proposed to I'LL it with fresh wa
ter from the river, on the theory that
such body would ameliorate the desert
climate.
The futility Of such an attempt can
be made very plain. Humidity Of the
atmosphere and copiouS supplies of rain
do not depend chiefly upon proximity TO
bodies of water. There are islands Of
the sea which stand far away out in a
wilderness OF water, that are practically
made deserts by aridity.
The deltas of great rivers are every
where interesting subjects Of study.
The water that is caught in a great
drainage basin like that Of the Colorado
or of the Mississippi is mighty torrent
where it is omptied into the sea. The
sediment which such a river carries is
here deposited and by thus throwing it
down the river chOkeS its own channel.
Then there is always great difference
in the low water volume and the flood
water volume, and when extraordinary
floods come every such river is apt to
find q new outlet. In passing over a
delta, a river builds up the ground over
which 1t 1ows, so that the immediate
hanks OF the stream are higher
than the country further back.
Then when a great flood comes this bar
rier is burst and q new channel is form
ed. Sometimes q new channel is tenn

THE COOK had NERVE
With the Aid of This and Two Revolvers
BE Soon Became a Chef.
San Francisco Call.


San Francisco Call.
Not so very long ago large band OF
cattle were resting up few miles from
Vinita, in the Indian Territory, before
| being driven across the line to Kansas.
The boys belonging to the outfit were a
particularly hard lot, and in six weeks
| no less than five cooks had left the
camp In disgust, as no matter what they
did or how well the food was prepared,
the men were sure to growl. The head
boss was in a quandary when the fifth
man left, as he knew he would have a
hard job to find another.
To his surprise, however, soon after
sunrise next morning a short, sinewy
son Of Erin walked into camp, and,
after lighting his pipe, sat down on a
dilapidated gripSack and inquired il a
cook was wanted. 1t did not take the
boss long to make bargain with the
man, who said his name was Mcmillan.
He was soon installed in his position,
slowed his grip away, and after wash
in the creek began the operation of get
ting dinner. The boys sized up the
arrival as the beans were dished out,
DuJ Salu nOUnlnS.
Next morning, however, the fun be-
gan. One man asked Mac where he
learned to fry pork, another remarked
that he forgot to put the coffee in the
pot. But he was deaf to all until Joe
Taylor, the biggest man in the camp,
said he would be hanged if he could eat
such biscuit as those, and if there was
no Improvement in the grub at noon the
cook would hear something drop.
At the first mention of the biscuit the
pipe fell from Macs mouth, and he stood
listening until Taylor had finished
Then, walking quietly over to the
wagon, he fshed out pair OF Colts re-
vovers, and marching up to the GROWER
shouted: You amt got no appetite,
but you sit down and eat them biscuit,
or I'll plug you before you can wink!"
There was wicked look in Macs eyes
as he spoke, and Taylor saw the cook
meant business. He had pistol in his
belt, but he also knew that before he
could draw it he would be dead man.
Eat them biScuitsr' came the order
again, while the rest of the crowd sat
around with grin, taking in the fun.
There was no help for it, so Taylor
sat down, and before Mac let him go he
had eaten every biscuit in the pan, and
was stuffed so full he could hardly
breathe.
81 thought you would soon find your
Appetite" said Mac. Then turning to
the rest Of the boys he asked: "How's
the coffee?" Every one replied that
it was fine, and all agreed that the pork
was cooked to turn. Mac stayed with
the outfit several months, and when he
left the boys swore he was the best cook
west of the Mississippi river.
