On THE MOUNTAIN

4 storm nom the mountain u comma
With lightning and thunder and ratnl
The wind Is sweeping and humming
In the butternut trees on the plain.
The cloud Is ebon that follows,
The fore cloud il ivid and pale.
There's the flash and the tossing Of swallow
In the turn of the eddying gale.
And the rain is awake ON the mountain;
IT'S flashing the forest afar
With fall Of SCATTERING fountain
And the tramp and the tumult Of war:
With the drums Of the detoning thunder,
And the clang in the bugles Of vino.
With the gonfalons tortured asunder
BY the rush Of the host from behind.
The plains are leaping with shadows,
The highlands go out like blot.
And over the eddying meadows
The rain is hurtled like shot.
The darkness is glooming and Frightening,
There is alternate chaos and form,
With the parry and thrust of the lightning
In the turbulent heart of the storm.
=
Now the storm is over,
And the greener plain
Seems to glow and hover
Through the thinning rain.
Now the wind is gusty
In the maple tops,
Striking out the lusty
Storms Of clearing drops.
Now the goldfnch whistles
In his spattered vest
Balanced on the thistleA
Bolder than the best.
And the hermit thrushes,
On the sparkling hills.
Link the dripping bushes
With their silver thrills.

All Doubt Removed.

Any doubt that may have hitherto
existed as to the veracity of the Biblical
account of the passage Of the Jewssd dry
shod across the Red sea have been set at
rest by the report of Major General Tul-
loch, published in London, describing
an incident which took place during his
recent survey for the British government
of that part of Egypt through which the
route Of the exodus is said to have lain
It seems that Oh one occasion last spring
there sprung up storm of wind SO in
teEse in its violence as not only to stop
all survey work along the borders of
Lake MenZahleh, but to carry within
the space of a few hours the entire wa
tiers, the lake out of sight beyond the
horizon, leaving all the sailing vessels
resting on the sandy bed of the inland
sea. Inis is manifestly what occurred in
the days Ct Loses, and what has hither-
to been i'll the eyes of the skeptical open
to doubt as a miracle must henceforth
be accepted as definitely proved nat
ural fact. New York Tribune.

The Circular Saw.

A correspondent states that the circu-
lar saw was first invented in America
by combmaker named Hartshorn, who
used a common handsaw to saw out the
horn between the teeth, thus forming
one of those old fashioned horn combs
Finally, thinking it rather a slow
process, he took what used to be called
"Bungtown "copper"" filed it down
thinner, drilled hole through it's GEN.
ter, then squared the hole and cut the
teeth around its outer edge, placed it
upon a mandrel true and permanent,
then put it into his lathe, and with the
fat horn lying upon wooden rest he
sawed out his combs.
From the copper he shortly cut up
his backsaw and converted it into cir
cular saws. This man, Hartshorn, lived
and died in Mansfield, Conn. He also
invented the screw and lip auger, also
the bits, such as are used in the brace.
He was asked why he did not put in his
claim for compensation long afterward,
when we had patent Office.
His reply was that if he had done
anything that was a benefit to his fell
low men they were welcome to it

DEAR SIR: On leaving the ferry July 3, we
were approached by a member of the Imperial
Cycling Club and informed that we were mis-
appropriating colors belonging to thems viz
Royal purple sweater and royal purple racing
suit with gold triangle.
We beg to state that these have been our
colors for the past three years, before the I'm.
perial Cycling Club was thought of being
organized, and were worn by Charles f. Lem
mon and G. c. Gilbert, our crack class racing
men at that time. These are our representa-
tive eolors and are known up and down the
Pacific Coast as such, have been on a score OF
racetracks and will be, for years to come, the
insignia by which the racing of the Oakland
Young Mems Christian Association Cycling
Club will be known. These colors will be worn
by our ten racing men who will appear at the
Garden City Cyclers' meet at San Jose on Sep
tember 9.
Trusting that this will satisfy our Imperial
friends and others of the cycling world re-
main, sincerely yours,

The association will hold series OF three
five-mile road races on August 2, 16 and 80.
Also a half-mile handicap and quarter

charge of the latter function. The club
will hold run to Crystal Springs to
morrow, which is very pretty ride.
There was no intention on the part oi
the Elite Cyclers of San Jose to copy the
emblem of the Bay City Wheelmen, q

to the Epworth League, and as the maltese
cross is the insignia of the league, they
adopted 1t, putting the letters 'E. O." on
the cross. 1t is also of somewhat different
shape from the B. c. W. cross.

Captain George II. Strong OF the Reli-
ance Club Wheelmen and daughter have
returned from their wheeling trip through
Lake County. They started about the first
of July, which accounts for Captain
Strong's absence from the league meet at
San Jose on the Fourth. AS it was the
first one he had ever missed, much anxiety
was expressed at the time lest he be i'll,
particularly by the members of the Ladies'
Cycling Club, with whom Pop" Strong is
very popular.

George A. Nissen, whose picture is pre-
sented this week, is class B racer of con-
of the Acme Club Wheelmen Of Oakland.
He is team mate of W. A. Burke and

tested finishes at various times in the past
two years, and is ranked very high as a
rider both on the track and road.
The Reliance Club WheeImen will hold
q series of club races at the Oakland Trot-
ting Park track tomorrow morning at II

Next to the league meet on the Fourth,
the principal event in July will be the ten
mile handicap road race of the Acme Club
Wheelmen over the Fruitvale- -Haywards
course, Sunday, July %. It has been some
time now since road race was held over
this straightaway stretch. The riders de-
Carlos was q good five-mile ride. so they
took to that distance for road racing. But
the Acmes are believers in Iong-distance
races as the true test of mans ability as
road rider, and next Sundays race is but
one of many of these events which the
popular Oakland club holds from time to
time during the year.
In the coming race Burke, Nissen and
Castleman, the March team, all Acme
men, will start from scratch. This of it
self looks bad for the ten-mile record if
the roads are good. Then there will be
Kitchen, Van Court, Schleuter, Neece,
Mott, Hardie and score of other fast men
with small time limits, who will make the
pace hot for the scratch men. Altogether
it promises to be one of the most exciting

THE ANGLER.
Latest News From Lake and Stream.
The Black Bass Parasite.


Although tolerably good sport has been
enjoyed by anglers who have visited the
streams of the far-famed Sierras during
the month the cream of trout fishing in
the big mountain rivers has not yet been
skinned. 1T must be remembered that
the rivers which course through the deep
and picturesque canyons OF the snow
capped Sierras have been exceptionally
high this year, and as consequence the
best of trout fishing remains to be enjoyed
in the months of August and September,
when the streams will have assumed their
customary summer appearance.
Anglers who have gained knowledge
through experience are we'll aware of this
fact, and many vacations have been pro-
longed by men whose aim is to be IN the
right place at the right time.
Those of the fraternity of trout catchers
who prefer the slow and lazy method of
angling from boat should, by all means,
repair to the lakes as quickly as possible,
for Just as soon as the warm weather sets
in the finny inhabitants of the lakes drop
down to the cool depths, where they feed
upon SIN all fish and sunken Larvae. Dur
ing the months of September and October,
when change in the weather and atmos-
phers occurs, the trout again make their
appearance near the surface of the lakes
and then some first-class fly fishing can be
relied upon. Stream whipping is, how
ever, always best between the latter part
of July and the middle Of September.
The following decidedly interesting and
cleverly written article on angling litera-
ture by Charles +. Johnson appeared in
the American Field. 1t is well worth close
perusal:
The gentle craft is not unlike the Masonic, in
that each has its neophytes and grand masters.
He who fishes is but neophyte, whereas he
who angles to him alone do Iconcede the title
of grand master. Anglingi 'Tis simple word
of but seven letters, yet repletc with an old
fashioned sweetness of sound and refreshing
quaintness, ever suggestive OF delightful mem
ories and pleasant forthcomings.
Fishingi How harsh it mouths and mani
fold its meaning. The small boy, the poacher,
not angle.
Angling is the highest culture Of fishing.
The culture of an art is its literature. 10 the
literature of angling we are indebted for its
beauties. To the individual who occasionally
visits some small trout stream densely hedged
around with brush and foliage, teeming with
countless numbers Of small trout who yield
themselves easy captives to his primitive
tackle and unskillful method in its use, the
literature of angling is incomprehensibie. In
what light can the teachings OF Ronalds ap-
pear to those whose tackle consists of short
pole, piece of thick line, big, clumsy hook
and worm, who with these rough imple-
mems (hesven forbid they should be called
tackiel unceremoniously yank lusty trout

grace and concern than that (which his eatiug
calls forth?
