ACTION OF THE RAIN.
The Wonderful Factor 1t Is In the DISH
tegration of Rocks.

The Wonderful Factor 1t Is In the Disin
tegration of Rocks.
The rain falling Oh the rocks sinks in
to every crack and crevice, carrying
with it into these assures surface mate
rial which has been degraded by the
weather, and thus affording matrix
sufficient to start the growth of vegeta-
ton and afterward to maintain the
plants. The fbers and roots Of these
plants, bushes and trees thus brought
into life,-growing and expanding, act
as wedges to split up the surface of the
rock and to commence the process of
wearing away: From this quality Of de-
struction large class OF plants derive
the name OF saxifrages, OF rock break
ers, from their roots penetrating into the
minute assures in search Of water, and
SO assisting in the process Of disintegra-
ton. III winter the water collected in
the hollows and crevices becomes froz-
en-, and expanding as it changes into
ice acts like charge CT blasting mate
rial in breaking up the rock. The pieces
thus detached become further disinte-
grated by frost and weather, and, being
rolled over and over and rubbed against
each other as they are carried away
down the mountain torrents, are ground
gradually smaller and smaller, till from
fragments of rock they become bowlers,
then pebbles and finally sand. As the
mountain stream merges into the river
the pebbles and coarse sand continue to
be rolled along the bottom of the chan
mel, while the ragillaceous particles and
salts become mingled with the water
and flow Oh with it either in suspension
Or solution.
While this disintegrating process is
going on inland the rocks and cliffs on
the coast exposed to the sea are suffer-
ing degradation by similar process and
are also being worn away by tho inces-
SAINT action Of the waves OF tho ocean
be;:tlng on them and attacking them,
not only with the impact of the water,
but also with the fragments broken Off,
which, dashed against the face from
which they have been eroded, arc thus
used as implements of destruction. 49,

INDIANS ARE GAME BETTORS.
VIII Venture Their ALI on Horse Race
Their Chief Diversion

XhelT C!lief Diversion.
can Indian horse race is the greatest
ard most important event of the year tc
tho tribes who participate in it, said
Ramon Thornton Of Cheyenne to a re-
porter. lit is totally unlike our equine
contests, for, to begin with, there is
only ono race, for which it takes months
and weeks to arrange the details, and /
must tell you that the average Indian is
D remarkably coed matchmaker. I do
cot think | ever saw @ race that was not
producti We u q close, exciting finish.
y as soon as The day is set for the
great contest every man, woman and
papoose CT both tribes assemble at the
appointed place, bringing all their
worldly wealth to support their cham
p:on. When the day of the race arrives,
several large pa1ticolored blankets are
spread upon the ground, at either side
OF which the warriors and chiefs Of the
opposing tribes range themselves, while
behind are the chattering squaws, each
bearing tie treasures Of her liege lord.
Tho head chief of one side generally
makes the first bet. Silently and with
stoiid countenance he steps forward and
deposits his furs and other valuables on
the blanket, often even going so far as
TO add his much priced rifle to the
whole. The leader Of the other side Their
places articles of q similar value beside
the first heap. A grunt or nod. and it
is bet. So it goes down the line, Wa
gering being conducted with a gravity
chat BELTS the occasion, for each tribe
knows that its opponents will bes all
they have got Even little groups of
ponies are led eff to one side and bunch
ed together, and that means that the
Loser will walk many a weary mile
through binding alkali dust before he
sees the tepees of his people. But there
is no haggling, 10 disputes, no excla
nations Of surprise or chagrin at the re-
suit. 1t is impossible, as far as any out
ward demonstration is concerned, tc
distinguish the victor from the van
quished, and in that respect think the
American Indian stands alone among
the nations of the world. "-Atlanta

Color and Emotion.

twas not by accident that violet was
chosen by many nations as the exclusive
color for mourning, and by us also for
half mourning. Painters suffering from
hysteria and neurasthenia will be in.
clined to cover their pictures uniformly
with the color most in accordance with
their condition of lassitude and exhaus-
ton. Thus originate the violet pictures
of ,Manet and his school, which spring
from no actually observable aspect of
nature, but from subjective view due
to conditions of the nerves. When the
entire surface of walls in salons and art
exhibitions of the day appears yelled in
uniform half mourning, this prediction
for violet is simply an expression of the
nervous debility of the painter. Con
densed From Nordau s Degeneration. {"

a sGrtnpance In Manistique.

making a complaint. They waited long
ere they did SO, suffering N: silence.
Manistique is very independent town
The spirit Of liberty that: perched upon
the sails Of the Mayfower still scars
and spreads itself, especially over Man
istique All men are free there, and wo-
men are as nearly free as the law will
let them be- The dogs, cats and pigs are
free. Even the COWS roam at their own
sweet will and pasture upon the streets
of Manistique. It is a goodly sight, the
streets of Manistique, when the June
grass is at it's best, with shining, large
eyed Holsteins and Jerseys switching
their tails and chewing their cuds in in
finite comfort under the shadow of the
very church belfries. But as the summer
begins to wane and pasturage gets short
the pretty beasties are less content
They leave the street and begin to pas
ture on the grocers' lay outs. Cabbages.
apples, potatoes, and even peach butter,
are all one to them. They make regu-
lar Thanksgiving dinner of the whole
kit.
The gentle grocers could neither kick
the COWS nor kick against them. Any
indignity to Mrs. Jenkins COW, and
Jenkins would come no more for her
weekly pound Of sugar and bar Of SOAP
But the thing grew serious, Even with
pieoing out by the little economies of
weight and measure, the infnitesimal
mixing Of skimmilk with cream and the
infinitesi1nal substitution Of this for
that which are the secrets of the grocer
trade, the COWS still ate up all the
profits. Now the grocers beg the city
council to afford them relief.
/We\ hereby extend to the grocers of
Manistique our heartfelt sympathy.

In her article on "The Myth of the
400,' in Cosmopolitan, Mrs Ba1ton
Harrison tells Of all American calling
upon lady in London and finding her
seated in a big chair by. the window ell
gagged in some sort of needlework. A
young man came in and paid his re-
spects, as it was her day at home, and
thon bowed himself out. Three years
! later the American was again in Lon
Con, and again he called upon the lady.
It was her day at home, and there she
sat in tho same chair by the same Win
dow with the same needlework, or some
very like it, in her hand, and, moro re-
markable still, the same young man
called and made the same remarks he
had made three years before. Mrs. Ear-
rison tells this .anecdote to show how
unchanged things are in England and
how you are pretty sure to find people
just about as you left them. The illus
tration is o good one, but I car. match
it with a better one over here
I have the pleasure of knowing a

Five years ago WAS in Philadelphia

The New Crusade.

| :,
The war which the Crusaders began
against the Turks in 1895 seems to have
eeached the beginning Of it's end in 1895,
exactly 800 years later. In the spring of
:t09G it is said that not loss than 5000,
900 Crusaders were on their way to re-.
deem Jerusalem and Palestine from the
';Saraeen. Then the armies Of Europe set
forth to attack the Turk for his oppres-
sion and cruelty toward his Christian
subjects, exactly as they seem about to
do today:
I But in the crusade which began in
1905 there We're less political ambition
and rivalry and more religion and phi
lanthropy back of the great uprising
Today the powers of Europe are so blind
ed. by jealousy that they are confused
and do not know how to take the initial
movement. Then every leader who could
raise following marched to the east OH
his own. private hook to whip the bar
>barian. Today one great power cannot
move without the others agreeing.
The end, however, is certain to be the
partition Of Turkey. Turkey in Asia
will be the first to be taken, because il
is in 'Asiatic Turkey that the most hor-
rible outrages and butcheries have &C.
Cured and are occurring still. The Turk
being despoiled of that, it will not be
possible for him to maintain himself il
Europe. For a hundred years the Turk
ish empire has been lettering. Only the
jealousy CT one another on the part OF
the great powers has held it together
thus long: 1t looks now as if the proph-
ecies of cranks and statesmen for cen.
tury were about to be fulfilled and Tur-
key were about to fall. Who will get
this or that part Of the empire is matter
of more conjecture. ALI that is positive.
~ certain is that whoever does or DOES
not have slice, Russia will not get
left.

A Famous Dog,

Railway Bob is the name of a IA
nous dog III Australia He passes lis
whole existence on the train, his favor
tie seat, being On top Of the coalbox. In
this way he has travelled many thou
sands of miles, going over all the lines
in South Australia. He is we'll known
in Victoria, frequently seen in Sydney,
and has been up as far as Brisbane. The
most curious part of his conduct is that
he has no master, but every engine
driver is his friend. At night he fol-
lows home the engine driver of the day,
never leaving him or letting him out Of
his sight until they are back in the rail
way station in the morning, when he
starts of on another Of his ceaseless
journeyings.-New York Tribune.

Remarkable is that statement made
by a medical man who has attended the
leading prizefghters of the time that
Corbett, the champion, is a coward in
the grain Of him, and that he is scared
into a blue funk every time there is any
prospect Of his meeting man Of his
size. The doctor believes Fitzsimmons
will whip Corbett because Fitz has con-
fidence In himself. Corbett ought to be
whipped. Then somebody stronger than
Fitzsimmons ought to arise and whip
him, and the process should continue
till the whole brutal, gambling, de-
bauohing business of prizefghting is
abolished, likewise White Capism an6
the aristocracy of money. They all alike
are relics of barbarism.
