SOURCES OF THE BIG MUDDY.
Headwaters of the Giant Missouri
River Explored by Scientists.

Headwaters of the Giant Missouri
River Explored by Scientists.
The detailed explorations of j. v.
Brewer, James Blair, William M. Cur
yer and Henry Hackettduring the years
1895 and 1896 give to the world all the
geographical details connected with
the headwaters of what is seemingly
"the longest continuous unbroken cur
rent of running water in the world
namely, the Missouri river. This giant
stream, which from it's ultimate source
TO it's mouth Through the Mississippi
in the Gulf of Mexico, is now carefully
computed to have length of 4,221 miles,
rises in q caldera assumed to be OF
volcanic origin, near the crest of the
Rocky mountains at the upper (eastern)
portion of Culver's canyon, in the state
of Montana. Thence it flows westward
ly and northwardly through glaciated
valleys, and under the successive names
of Red Rock river, Beaver Head river
and the jefferson fork passcc the mouth
of the Madison and Gallatin to become
the main stream, which unites with the
Mississippi few miles above st. Louis.
The ultimate source of the stream is
located in latitude A degrees 35 min
utes north and longitude Ill degrees 3S
minutes west, and at an elevation OF
5000 feet above the sea. The noun
tain peaks of the greatest elevation that
dominate the region of the source are:
Brown peak, 1900 feet; Crater peak,
II, 500 feet, and Blair mountain, 10000
feet. The explorations, which were
largely undertaken for the purpose OF
marking the Montana-Idaho state lines,
were accomplished under great difficult
ties and hardships, and, as stated by
Mr.. Bower, were conducted principally
on snow-capped peaks where several
hundred snowslides had occurred re-

of the past year snow from 20 to 80 feet

the stuffed birds are marked "aves."
This means that they belong to the
"class" called ayes, the second among
the "vertebrates," or animals which
lave q skeleton.
The first class has two subdivisions
the flying birds and the running birds.
Then these Subdivisions" are still
further divided into "accipiters" (or
the vulture order), 'passeres" Tor
perchers), "scansores" Tor climbers),
"gallinacae" Tor game birds), ''gralla-
torres" Tor waders) in the first
subdivision. In the second in
the ,"brevipennate," or such birds
as the ostrich, cassowary, etc.
For the present we will confine
ourselves to the flying brds-and To
that family" Tor part) commonly
the song birds-they are SO beautiful,
and fill all the air with such delightful
music. Beside this they are always
friendly to those people who love them
and who don't try to injure them.
There are many things about the song
birds which call for our admiration
and love. Their beautiful forms seem
to be the perfection of grace; their pref
ty ways are innocence itself; the coll
ors which give beauty to their feathers
can never be equaled by any painter,
be he ever so skillful.
Then did you ever notice how tender
and loving they are toward their little
ones? How hard the father works to
supply the birdlings with food? How
bravely they fight to protect the nest
lings from the snakes, who would rob
the little mother Of her children? Then
watch the parent bird as it tries to
teach the little ones to fly, for the first
time. And their nests! Did you ever
think of the skill which they show in
building their little homes? One Of
these days we may write letter on
birds nests, and try to describe some OF
the different kinds. There arc almost as
many varieties of nests as there are styles
of houses where youlive There are nests
made of sticks, Of leaves, of hair, Of
clay, of sand and many other sorts.
There are builders among the birds
Just as skillful as the men who built the
"sky scraper" buildings at Chicago.
But there are SO many nice things to
write about birds that we are tempted
to write too much, for you might get
tired and forget all about it. Now
couldn't you get up little society or
club for protection to the birds? You
might call it the BIRD Lovers" per-
haps. Then all the members must
promise to do all they can 20 prevent
others from killing the birds, or from
robbing the nests. Not only this, but
they must ask all their lady friends to
stop wearing the bodies or the wings Of
birds on their bonnets. II they don't
stop this cruel practice it will not be
lnng before the birds will all be killed,
and boys and girls who are born few
years from now will never see bird on
the wing, or enjoy the sweet music
which comes from the tree top.

Got Ahead,

A sea captain and lawyer lived next
door to each other. One very windy
night the lawyer was reading book
in his study when terrific crash up
stairs startled him. Upon investigation
he found that chimney had hucled it
self through his roof, doing consider
able damage. He discovered it was
the sea captains chimney. fastening
down to his library, he pulled out his
law books and hunted UP similar cases,
devising and scheming how he could
secure satisfaction from the detestable
captain, While thus engaged, a note ar
rived from his enemy that read as fol.
lows: "Sir: IF you don't return those
bricks at once, / will put the matter IN

scottish CHIEFS IgnobIe Fate.

A descendant of Rob Roy, the famous
Highland outlaw, recently died in a
Scottish poorhouse. He was chieftain
of one of the principal branches of the
Clan Gregor, and there is considerable
indignation that such a historic per-
sonage should have been allowed to
spend his l.st days in the garb of q
pauper instead of that of killed Gael.
The pauper was the last descendant Of
Gregor Ghlun Dhu (Brack Knee), the
nephew of Rob Roy, who received a
commission from Prince Charles as
colonel in the Scottish army at the time
Of the Highland rebellion.

santa Ee-Lamy Train Seryice.

The heavy rain of yesterday and last
night was quite general over central New
Mexico. A large amount of water fell
and streams and arroyas were full of wa
ter this morning. On account of high
water the train service on the main line
of the Santa Fe was badly democrat.
ICED, the south bound train being COM
PEELED to remain near Bernalillo all night,
while the east bound train did not reach
Lamy until $3.50 this morning. Passen-
gers for Santa Fe had a hard time of it.
Those who came from the east arrived at
Lamy on time, 10:40 p. M, might
have been brought on to Santa Fe at
once, but the branch train was held for
the train from the south, and did not
reach this city until s o'clock this morn
ing. Santa Fe should have better service
from the road, which bears the same
name, and the question of train service
ought to be brought to the notice of the
road officials speedily by the citizens and
the board of trade of this city.
