waterfall coming from the snow
capped peaks above the clouds over
a bluff, falling a perpendicular dis
lance of over 1 900 feet and disappear
ing in the bosom of a beautiful plain,
has Just been discovered near Lake
Sutherland, a few miles from Lake
Crescent, by two ranchmen. Their
description of the scene would exceed
anything of similar character in the
Yellowstone park.
From the snow on the crest of the
Olympics, where white men have
never visited, comes a little stream,
which rapidly grows in volume until
it reaches the edge Of perpendicular
cliff overlooking beautiful plateau
of 800 acres a thousand feet below
For centuries the water has poured
over the precipice until it has cut
smooth passage, something like a
large pipe split in half, in the side of
the mountain. Here and there it
strikes an obstruction and out of the
mountains side squirt other falls.
Standing alongside of the cliff a short
distance away the scene is beautiful
and looks as though there were half
dozen rivers bursting out of the
mountain.
The huge volume of water disap-
pears in a wild-looking cavern, and
becomes an underground river. 1t
flows beneath the plateau for dis
lance of two miles and then again
bursts out of its Imprisonment in the
shape ofan oval bridal veil, and dashes
over the rocks and cataracts down to
Lake Sutherland and out to sea.
The country isvery rough, wild and
hard to penetrate. There is an album
dance of wild game isolated around
the falls. The discoveries of the falls
killed nine elk in an hour and said
there were 100 more in sight.-Seattle

A radical departure from common
methods Of railway car construction
has been made in a passenger coach
which has gone into service on the
Consolidated road, on an express from
New Haven to New York It consists
of the substitution Of a sheathing of
coppersfor the paint and varnish ordi-
narily used in finishing the exterior
of the cars. Passenger coach 1865"
of the Consolidated road is the first
railway car in which it has been at
tempted
The work has been done in the car
shops Of the CONSOLIDATED road in New
Haven, and under the supervision of
the head official of the car depart
ment, with whom the idea originated.
Eventually the car will be put into
regular service on the Shore Line di-
vision. With the exception Of the
hoods over the ends of the car, which
are of iron, there is no paint or varnish
on the exterior. The numbers and
letters are of metal. The surface is
as smooth as though vanished. Each
separate piece of panelling compris-
ing the surface of the car has been
plated with a thin sheet Of copper.
The plating was done by machinery
on the separate pieces of panelling or
sheathing, after which the metal
plated sheathing was glued to the
body of the car. Whenit was finished
the whole surface was oxidized, form
ing a glossy surface of very nearly the
standard color Of the Pullman coach.
The surface is watertight. There are
no open joints. The whole sheath
ing-metal and woods seven-six-
teenths Of an inch in thickness.
1t requires a month to give a car a
new coat Of paint and forit to become
dry enough to be put into service.
The work of recoating a car with cop
per can be done in about ten days.
The cost is about the same as the cost
Of painting and vanishing. The in
vention is the idea of William 2. APP
pleyard, master car builder of the Con-
solidated road.-Springfeld Repub-
lican.

There arc few men whose acquaint-

Of Europe's most powerful monarchs
to the very poorest subject in the
realm; but such an experience is en-
joyed by Berlin's great and interest
ing preacher, Frommel--a man Of
splendid physique, noble carriage,
venerable appearance, and spiritual
influence. Equally at home is he in
the palace Of the kaiser and in the
howell of the humblest peasant, his
graceful tact teaching him to do the
right thing in the right place, and
his wonderful adaptability enabling
him to appear at ease in every posi-
ton to which duty calls him. HUI

whatever page opens to his gaze he
is interested in the study. He re-
spends to the call from the hum
blest with no less gentleness andalert-
ness than he does to royalty's invita-
ton, and many are the stories of his
goodness which his friends love to
tell about him.
A poor old woman lay dying, and
Frommel, being in that neighbor-
hood and knowing of her case, went
to see her. Seeing that she was very
i'll, he gave her what she so much de-
sired. his last blessing. after which he |
asked her if there were not some wish
unqualified which he could make q
reality for her. She acknowledged
that there was. but at the same time
refused to tell it for fear he would I
think her very worldly and weak.
finally, however, she yielded to his
kind persuasion and confessed that
she had very great desire to taste
cherries once more" before she died.

her case was hopeless, and that death
was distant only few hours, From
mel determined to crafty her long

found one near at hand with large
basket of the luscious fruit. To the

bought her entire stock, and it was
soon deposited at the bedside of the
dying woman, whom he gently called

time to eat as many cherries as she
wished, and to the surprise of her
self and Frommel she finally recov-

Science and Telepathy.

The latest discovery, or rather
latest theory, in science-that of brain

Prof. William Crookes. He entered,
before launching his theory, upon an
elaborate calculation as to the yibra-
tons which produce sound and light.
Then he applied a similar law to the
subject of thought transference, and
suggested that it was quite conceiva-

trated by one person upon another
with whom he is in close sympathy,
should induce a telepathic chain along
which brain waves should 90 straight

VETERAN ENGINEER
Drove Horses on the Railroad Before
He Drove Locomotives.

Christian Smith, Keep Tryst Post
Office, Washington, Md, is said to be
the Oldest railroad employee in the
United States, both in point of serv-
ice and age. He is also said to be the
oldest locomotive engineer now liv-
ing in this country. He is IS years
old and in excellent health. He has
lived retired since 1878.
Heran the first engine over the Bal
timore & Ohio railroad into Harper's
Ferry upon the completion Of the road
to that point in May, 1912. He was
40 years on the rail, commencing
work on the Baltimore & Ohio rail
road in December, 1882, as teamster
west of PARIS bridge, hauling freight
with three horses, driving them tan
dem.
A year later the team was increased
to four horses, which he drove two
abreast. A few months later, with in
creasing traffic, his team was in
creased to six horses. There was no
locomotives on the road at that time
and the cars were drawn by these
horses. In 1888 he became brake
man and engineer of a locomotive. In
1887 he invented the sand box for the
engine and introduced the use of sand
to prevent the wheels slipping on the
rails. In 1849 he went to Ohio and
ran an engine on the Little Miami
railroad, but soon returned to the
service of the B. & 0. at Mount Clare
as an engineer. He engaged in 1857
with Smith Il Perkins, locomotive
builders, at Alexandria, to take their
engines as they were built to the pur-
chasers. He was for a number Of
years the regular supervisor Of en-
gines on the second division Of the B.
& O. He went on the retired list Of
the company in 1S73.-Baltimore

BLOOD THIRsl.


. = fTaatiNN OF wanna winch ROiNNNflt
SEXES Human goings.
The passion Of which tie wor,
"blood-thirst" is truly descriptive
seems to be a kind Of temporary mani'
excited in human beings by killing
human beings, and in them only b)
| that act. Animals are free Of it, Ever
The great felidae, with their ferocity
developed by generations Of hunger
never display it--never, for example
attack whole herds for the pleas
ure of killing beasts which they
cannot eat. There is faint approach
to it in the dog who worries" a flock
of sheep, but he does not kill on the
spot, and seems at all events to be
actuated not by lust of blood or even
by the spirit of tyranny, but by an IN
sane desire for special dainty-the
fat Of the sleeps liver.
The human being with the blood
thirst on him wants most to kill after
he has been killing. Soldiers, other
wise most respectable, have ackuowl-
edged the feeling as rising in them
after a hard-fought day when many
friends have fallen round them, and
there are moments in battle when, as
the soldiers say, they "see red" and
in many armies, perhaps in all, it is
difficult for their officers to induce
them to give quarter Killing re-
heves their burning thirst for VEN
gence. There are moments in almost
every campaign, as al military his
torians know, when even highly dis
ciplined soldiers seem to lose their
reason, when their officers are power
less, and perfectly useless carnage can
not be stopped. The existence Of this
passion, which no experienced soldier
doubts, is the true explanation of the
awful slaughter which occurred in
some ancient and some Asiatic bat
ties, and of that CHASTITY incident Of
warfare among savages, their almost
constant habit Of killing the wounded.
1t explains also the devilish excite
ment and thirst for more slaughter
which, as the record Of scenes like the
st. Bartholomew murders or the muir
ders recently committed in CONSTANT
nople proves, falls upon crowd which
has shed much blood. Many, perhaps
a majority, do not feel it, but the
ferocicus remainders seem to go literal
ly and methodically mad, with an i'm
pulse which has in it that of the muir
derer and of the hunter combined,
and unless controlled by some form of
terror they viii go on killing while
victims remain to be discovered. A
separate passion of blood-shedding
arises in them, and tigers would be
less cruel, the cruelty-it is one
of the strangest of the arcana
of human nature-increasing with
the absence of resistance. 1t
might, indeed, be possible to hold
them partly irresponsible, but for the
fact that they can instantly be reduced
to order and sanity by appealing to
their fears. A few soldiers, a volley,
and the widest mob, mad, literally
mad to all appearances with the blood
thirst, will become on the instant rea-
sonable, will take orders, will aban-
don, and in some instances even re-
gret, its frightful excuses. A Whit
of grape shot would have Gained the
French terrorists at any moment, and
thousand of the Irish constabulary
with rifles would restore the worst
of Constantinople to comparative
sanity in ten minutes.-London Spec
