Bowlder, Colorado, at the Lindell last night.
nothing strikes the traveller of a scientific
turn of mind with more surprise than the
compass plant The leaves of this singu-
lar plant are magnetic and its petals point
constantly to the north. These wonderful
prairie guides have on numerous occasions
proved to be an inestimable benefit TO trav-
elers who had strayed away from their
camp and companions and found themselves
lost on the plains In 1850 while on my
way to the Hockey mountains by a wagon
train, q party of us, who had left camp
on hunt for antelope, lost our way owing
to a dark, stormy night overtaking u.s. We
knew that our train was camped about ten
miles to the northwest of where we were
thus overtaken. The night was as dark as
pitch and we were beginning to be alarmed
when one of our number happened to think
Of the compass plant and its singular peculi-
arity. We at once dismounted and grouped
about in the dark, till at last our hands
came in contact with the familiar leaves OF
the plant. 1t was but a short calculation
till we turned our horses heads in the right
direction toward the camp, which we had
the satisfaction Of reaching In about two
hours, but not until we had dismounted
several times to feel among the leaves OF
this friendly guide to make sure Of our
course"

The club has been steadily gaining ground
and proposes in the future to make itself a
formidable antagonist of the other two
clubs. The club has an agreement with the
Capital Bicycle Club whereby members of

This arrangement gives the Capital Bicycle
Club boat house in summer and the Ana

broke the Maryland twenty-four-hour
record, riding 240 miles in fifteen hours
actual riding time. During the first five
hours he rode in a drenching rain, and
stopped on account of the conditions being SC
unfavorable for record breaking. After a
delay of five hours he p!uckily went at It

credit at the end of twenty hours, in.

age speed of sixteen miles per hour while
