We Don'f Have 10 Go Abroad 10 Find
High CLIMBING

AAASn Ll4H-BAnE+
There are 10 mountains in Colorado
whose peaks are over 1900 feet a above
the .cean level. Forty of these are
higher than 1900 feet, and more than
half of that number are 50 remote
and rugged that 10 one has yet dared
to attempt 10 climb them. They are
as unique as those Of Switzerland. and
as fearful as the Alps in the warning
they offer TO the men or women who
are so hardy as TO defy them by start
ing upon their ascent. Some of them
are massed with snow, others have
glaciers over their approaches, and
others are merely masses of Jagged
rocks.
Not even Coloradoans have sought as
yet TO surmount them, and the profess
sion of guide" is still open to who
ever may care to enter il. Railroads
reach within close enough range to
provide hotel facilities, but otherwise
the mountain climbing of Colorado is
yet awaiting its pioneers. Did the
Coloradoans or the people of other
states fully realize the intoxicants as
well as the health-giving powers of
mountain climbing. Rocky mountain
climbing would be one of the most
popular recreations Of America
Only one Notwithstanding club is
known TO exist in Colorado. There is
room for dozen more. There should
be one in every city. BY the evidences
such clubs might offer of their thrill
ing experiences and of their unexam-
pied pastimes, the fame of the Rockies
as a place of pleasure and adventure
might be widely advertised, and Colo
RADIO thus be pushed forward to the
place it must eventually occupy as the
American substitute for Switzerland

smaIIest EIectricnI battery.

The smallest electrical battery ever
constructed was the work Of an cleo
trician III the employ Of the Boston
Telephone company It consisted Of
an ordinary glass head" through
which TWO wires, one Of copper and the
other Of iron, were looped ard twisted
50 as 10 prevent their coming in con
tact. The wires acted as tie cleo
troces, and all that was necessary to
cause current was to place a drop
Of acidu,uted water IN the head. Ger
tainly such a minute battery furnished
but an iufinitesimal current. but it
could be easily used in delicate tee
phone; In fact, 1t is said to have actual

OLD TIMES IN HAWAII.
Reverence for Royalty Was Once 9
Marked Characteristic.

Marked Characteristic.
One of the most marked characters
tics of the ancient Hawaiian religion
was the extreme reverence for royalty
indicated. says the Philadelphia Press.
Il was a crime punishable with death
TO pass through the kings shadow or
sit higher than his head. His person
was sacred and protected by strict sys-
tenn of taboo" In the royal palace

king announced his accommodations.

stone cap. II this stick was lowered on
the approach Of a courier he was com
PEELED to withdraw Immediately and
was considered in deep disgrace.
The kings viii was absolute; but the
majority of the Hawaiian monarchs
seem to have been of a kindly DISPOSE
ton and 10 have made no improper use
of their extreme power 1t was due to
ore of them that the taboo system was
abolished. This bore with grievous
weight upon the women. They were
forbidden the use of some of the most
common articles of diet, such as bananas
and certain kinds of fish, on pain of
death.

STUNNED LIKE LEPERS.
A Colony of Degenerate Human

Colony of Degenerate Human
Freaks Who Live Like Beasts.
A most revolving form of human de-
generacy is to be seen on Snake creek,
in the Indian nation, Indian territory.
says the Cincinnati Enquirer. A small
colony of human freaks, with dirty,
whitish hair, and white, CLASSY eyes,
exc out a miserable existence in the
midst of the most filthy surroundings.
being ostracized from the companion
ship of the other Creeks. These de-
generates are the result of frequent in
termarriage among a class of mongrel
whites, negroes and Indians. and the
degeneracy has kept dropping down
the scale of human intelligence until it
is said these people eat snakes, toads
and other reptiles. They use peculiar
iargon, many expressions resembling
the clucking of hens and the unpleasant
noises made by belligerent geese. Their
hair is somewhat kinky. but stands out
nearly straight, giving them a very
frightful appearance. They live out in
the open air, except in very unpleasant
weather, when they crawl into rude
caves or dugouts, reeking with filth and
vermin. Many of them are afflicted
with sores, and are deforned or cross
eyed. They are too lazy TO be mean,
but the very sight of them is sickening.
and they are Stunned like lepers. A
subagent has been asked for TO look
after their annuities and to secure for
them something like human comforts.
They have many children. and their off
spring are most pitiful looking objects.

Injured to Cold.

When asked if he was not afraid of q
temperature of ten degrees below zero
the late Tolman Wiley, of Boston, said:
where was born, sir, my father one
Sunday took me into a meeting house
which sat on four stone posts with no
other underpinning. | sat in the church
and listened TO a sermon on hell for 60
minutes, with the wind bowling under
meath the church and blowing 40 miles
a minute. with no fire in the stove and
the mercury 40 degrees below zero. Do
you think was born in a sugar box and
pursed on heliotropes?"

IMPROVEMENTS IN GLIDING.
Modern Methods Insure Better and
Less Dangerous Work.

Less Dangerous Work.
In nothing has the superiority of
modern over former methods been made
more manifest than in the various pro-
cesses employed for gliding, says the
St. Louis Democrat. Now the
greater portion of gilded articles are
gold-coyered by means of the electrical
bath Formerly gliding was done by
laborious and troublesome processes,
in certain stages very detrimental TO
the health of the workmen The old
time gliderused an amalgam of gold and
mercury, causing it to adhere to the
bronze article by means of nitrate of
mercury, the nitrous and mercurial
fumes being poisonous, always en-
dangering the health of the workman.
and sometimes inducing incurable dis
ease. Now the article to be gilded is
placed in an electric bath, the current
is turned on, and in a short time the
piece Is ready for the burnisher. Gid
ing by means of gold leaf and gold pow
der is still practiced, the work being
mostly done by hand, but its delicacy
is such as to require long practice and
great experience. An amateur glider
has no earthly chance of succeSs-his
work will always show the inexperience
of the workman.
