The natural co%ntiguration of mahy
mountains suggests the human face,
and such physiognomies cut ont of the
rocks on a gigantic scale are commonly
regarded 10y savages as objects of wor-
ship. Ellen Russell Emerson says that
the Thunder Bird of the Thlinkits is de-
scribed by them as a giant man dwell
ing in the sacred hills. When in want
of food he provides himself with IA pair
of wings and II mask in the shape Of a
birds head, the latter having a beak as
sharp as "A knife and "a tongue that
makes fire"
Thus arrayrd the god spreads his
wings and sails over the ocean in search
of n whale. By his side and attached to
his waist is the lightning demon, which
darts upon the prey and fetches it to the
hungry god Washington Star.

A CANAL OF LARGE COST AND
INTERNATIONAL IMPORTANCE.

IL Is of Eauai Value with the Weiiund
Canal as "a Waterway. and Is the Sub

states nnd Canada.
The discussion with Canada about
waterways and particularly about the
SAINT Sainte Marie canal is of timely
interest. Indeed one of the first thoughts
suggested to the French explorers who
first saw the Sault was that it would
some day be of vast commercial impor-
lance. The statement has since been
repeated by every writer on the locality,
M the only wonder is that develop
ment was 80 long delayed.
There IS Il confusion in the public
mind as to names in that vicinity. From
Lake Michigan to Lake Huron there is
an easy passage through the Straits of

but from Lake Superior to Lake Huron

from the head of Tequainenon bay, on
Lake Superior, to the head of Drum

Now. as Lake Superior is C3O foe,

the result is obvious-rapids in the con,

Hall came out boldly last night for
Cleveland and Stevenson. A meet.
ing of the general committee had
been called to issue call for the
primaries of the districts. Ex-Judge
Nelson Smith presided and well
known local politicians filled the
boxes, and the hall was crowded.
The chairman made briet address
eulogistic OF the Democratic presi-
Dental and vice-presidential candi-
dates, and q. each mention Of Cleve-
lands name the hall shook with the
cheers.
Senator Bourke Cochran, in one OF
his characteristic speeches, presented
resolutions indorsing the declarations
of principles adopted by the Demo.
cratic National Convention at Chica-
go: "Condemning, as tending to SUBJ
vert cur constitutional system, the
Republican policy of establishing a
national control of elections through
out the country, whether that con-
troll be exercised by partisan boards,
such as the Republicans contemplate
ed when in power, or by non-partisan
boards, such as the President, under
stress of political conditions, de-
clares that he is ready to accept"
The resolutions invite comparison
between the records of the Republi-
can administration and the record of
the Democratic which displaced it.
"By the results of that comparison
we are willing that the merits OF the
two parties should be decided, be-
lieving as we do that the security of
the Government, the prosperity of
commerce and the happiness of the
people can best be maintained by the
success of the Democratic party. We
do cordially pledge our united efforts

to the presidency and OF Adlai e.
