MOUNTAIN CLIMBING.
The Safety Of tho Many Bought by the
Death of the Few.

Death OF the Few.
All crafts depend upon knowledge and
acquired skill--knowledge of the ma
terial to he handled, acqujred skill in the
handling Of the material. Pioneers Of
mountaineering had first to learn what
mountains actually are like, the details
of their structure, and the forces In ac-
tion upon them. Rock structure, which
has one meaning for geologist, has
others for mountaineer. One kind of
mountain masonry forms ridges and
gullies, another forms lodges and preci-
pices. One texture and dip makes stair
cases that can be rushed, another makes
slabs that can scarcely be adhered to.
One kind of substanae is firm and trust
worthy, another is friable and treacher-
GUS to hand and foot. If there was so
much to be learned about rocks, snow
and ice were at first far more unknown.
The anatomy Of glaciers had to be dis
covered, the secrets Of crevasse forma-
tion to be learned There were the
varied phenomena implied in the phrase,
''state Of the snow," to be understood.
Both foot and eye had to be trained to
recognize by feel and glance what the
''state Of the snow" at any time might
be. Avalanches had to be investigated
avalanches of snow, ice and rock-when
they might be expected to fall, where
they were to be looked for, how far they
would go. Climbers had to learn TO
distinguish afar off between snow and
Ice slopes. Moreover, the tools of noun
taineering had to be invented. Many
were tried and discarded; few were re-
tained and improved. The form of the
Ak was slowly evolved and its uses
learned. The way to employ the rope
was a yet more difficult discovery. Even
now the proper form for climbing irons
Is only being arrived at.
Accidents, usually fatal, were the
lessons wherefrom these facts were de-
rived. The great Matterhorn accident
finally demonstrated how the rope
should be used and proved that large
parties were source of danger. The
Lyskamm accident showed the peril Of
cornices. Unroped climbers met their
death on many mountains. From al
most every accident something was
learned. The safety of the many has
been bought by the death of the few.
We can now plunge into the world of
snow without undue peril. We know
its dangers and can guard against them;
we know also when we are safe and
where we can freely go. Our forerun-
ners went aloft as neolithic navigators
put to sea-badly equipped and into
misunderstood region. We are now ON
the footing of the modern sailor. Snow,
as such, has no more terrors for us than
sea for them. Ill luck may overtake
us, and we may fall, as they may be
drowned, but with good equipment and
experience the climber and seafarer are
about as safe as the townsman at home.

Human limitations Of Vegetables.

entists have recently discovered re-
markable resemblance between the shell
of the fruit and the shell of the human

tific periodical to prove that there is q
wonderful likeness between other hu-
man organs and vegetable products.
For example, the meat of the English
walnut is close copy of the form and
convolutions Of the brain; plums and
cherries are like the eye; almonds are
shaped like the nose; the ear is brought

in growing scrub willow and celery, and
the heart is seen in the German turnip

These Eastern roads are taken from
among those which are well known for
nigh speed, not even leaving out the New
ork Central, with its four-track road,
the advantages enjoyed by which for ex-
pedluous passenger service are extremely
favorable among the railways of the
I nlted States. In considering the table
presented, we submit the following sug-
gestions, which every fair-minded man
Will concede enter largely into the deter
mlnatlon of the comparative merits of
railway passenger service in the East
generally and the service furnished by
our California roads.
First, that the population of the towns
and cities along the various routes, which
Is the key to the whole question, is from
2oO TO 800 per cent. greater along the East
ern lines compared than along the route
of the California line.
Second, tina. the difference between the
rate OF speed on the California line and
these Eastern lines is not, in fact, so great
as 1t may appear to be, owing to the
greater number of stops which the former
IS required to make; that each of these
lines which make better time than the
California road makes also fewer stops;
and that, i'll every case in which as many
or more stops are made by tho Eastern
roads, the time of the California road is
as good, or better. than theirs.
InlIu, LidI Lile Necessities OF the peO-
pie, and the facilities they require for
their accommodation along the line of
our California road, are such that greater
number of stops is made at intermediate
stations than is customary on Eastern
lines.
Fourth, that the showing made is not
only negatively, but positively creditable
to the California line, and that this is con-
spicuously true for the very reason which
Mr.. Van Oss and the Bulletin offer in Oh
der to give sensational effect to their false
hood, to wit, that the excellent service
furnished by the California line is not
compelled by competition, as is univer-
sally true as regards the Eastern lines
mentioned.
Fifth, that even if development in Cali
fornla had reached that high stage which
prevails III the older communities of the
East, in population and resulting passen-
ger traffic. and the most active COMPETE
ton existed. 1T would still be impracticable
owing to natural causes which influence
the rate of passenger time between San
francisco and Los Angeles, for our Cali
icrnia road TO come squarely up to the
schedule time of limited passenger trains
on such roads as the New York Central,
which is operated under conditions, as
we have animated, almost ideal.
