Sunrise and sunset, as viewed from

on the summit for several years. LAS
the sun begius to climb above the misty
plains, streaks OF light shoot through the
air as though propelled by some mighty
power. The sunsets present panorama
which far surpasses the most vivid stretch
OF the Imagination. Clouds of variegated
forms reflect all the colors OF the spec
trum, the colors changing into new
glory as the king OF day slowly retires
behind the main range, 100 miles away.
In the early morning / have often seen
the shadow of the peak projected into the
ozark back ground OF the Sky with dis
tinctness that was almost startling. /
shall never forget a remarkable vision
which l was 50 fortunate as to observe
one day from the roof OF the station. For
three days we had been treated TO storm
OF unusual violence, when all at once the
clouds overhead rolled away, revealing
far above the deeD blue sky, which could
be seen through an opening whose sides
were of the most beautiful colorS. 1t was
d veritable glimpse Of paradise"

/ electric storms are described as the

metallic points ofinstruments are covered
with blush lights.
Cats taken to the summit invariably
have fits, and never live more than six

three miles, it is a common experience oi
1 the observer to catch sight OF an eagle
serenely floating two or three miles
above the station. The mournful cry OF
a panther or mountain lion is one Of the
sounds that greets the ear by night at the

cog road and the rush OF tourists, the rO-
nance has been taken from lie upon the
noted sentinel OF the Rockies, and it is
not probable that the experiences Of the
early observers viii ever again be dupli-

About 1, 200 are In use in this city and
the number would be greatly increased II
their merits were fully understood.
AS Cookers" they are unrivalled and
are far superior to coal or wood stoves in
cooking meats or vegetables.
As Water Heaters" and 'Ironers" they
are most useful, especially when the
weather is 300 warm TO use the ordinary
stove or range.
As a heating apparatus that can be moved
from room TO lom in few minutes by the
housekeeper they are most convenient.
As assistant heaters in rooms where
furnace or steam heat will not ascend on
the windwsrd side they have given great
satisfaction.
As permanent heaters in rooms that
cannot be reached by heating Aues they
have given n uoh comfort.
As Intermittent heaters, where heat is
wanted only an hour or two at time,
they are economical
For offices and stores, when the weather
! is rather warm for furnace fires, they may
prevent sickness.
For spring aud autumn use, when mild
days make furnace fires oppressive, trou-
blesOme and expensive, they are comfort
able and economical.
AS fres that can be started in a minute
and extineuisbed in less time, they are
most satisfactory.
/ AS heaters that avoid ASHES, COAL
GAS and DUST, they are valued by pru-
dent housekeepers.
Modern Gas Stoves are not only useful,
