HOW CANYONS WERE FORMED.
The Deep GuIIies are Due to the Ac-
tion of Rivers Through Count
less Ages.

The secret of the great denudation
and of this wonderful achievement of
the Colorado in carving out of rock
series of canyons about 500 miles
long, and, in one place at least, more
than a mile deep, with multitude of
tributary chasms and gorges, is very
simple, when you know it, says Har-
per's Magazine. The old lake bed
slowly rose. At first the Colorado river
and Its tributaries, or some nameless
monstrous ancestor of these, sweep
ing over the slowly rising surfaces,
planed them down in most relentless
fashion, and then began wearing out
broad shallow stream beds. But then
the country rose more rapidly and the
water had to cut deeper channels In
the rocks in order to get out and away
to sea. Owing in part to the wear
of the water itself, but more to the
ceaseless bombardment of the sus-
pended sand which it bore from the
up country, or picked up as ii went
along, and to the thump of pebbles
and powders which il swept on in
food time, the river kept cutting down
Gs the strata rose, until finally. when
what was left of our inland sea bottom
got thrust up so that, towering far
above Its erstwhile rocky shores, il
had TO be called plateau, the Colo
RADIO and it's auxiliaries found them
selves at the bottom of n series OF
colossal canyons and gorges, where
they are to-day.

FLAG OF THE CUBAN PEOPLE.
1t Was First Carried by Narciso Lo-
pez I'm 1S5O-51-VersiOns as
to Its Meaning.

The Cuban flag was first carried by
Narciso Lopez about 1s50-1s51, when
he invaded Cuba and lost his life.
There are quite a number of versions
as to the meaning of this flag; one is
that the red equilateral triangle
stands for equality; the white star
represents Cuba, which would gain her
independence through a sea of blood,
and the three blue stripes for the
three departments into which they in
tended to divide the island-eastern
Cuba, central Cuba and western Cuba!
There is another version, that once
about 1880 or 1881 a group of Cuban ex-
lies were talking of the new flag that
should be adopted, and trying to get
a suitable design, when one of them
went to the window of the room in
which they were holding their discus
sion and saw the evening star shining
brightly in the heavens, surrounded
by the glare of the setting sun, while
still higher the sky was blue, striped
with white clouds.
The revolutionary flag of Puerto
leo Is of the same proportions and de-
sign as the Cuban flag, only the colors
are changed Where the Cuban flag
Is red the Puerto Rican flag is blue, and
where the Cuban flag is blue the Puer-
! to Rican flag is red. It is singular to
! .soti~e-ti.sst rTTTosr cUuntry or
which liberty Is the watchword and
guiding idea the flag is composed of
| the three colors-red, white and blue.

MODERN FRENCH TRAGEDY.
How n Pair of Paris Lovers Atteni pit
ed TO End Their Unhappy
Existence.

French tragedy in these degenerate
days Is seldom without its flavor OF
burlesque or opera bouffe. Take the
recent case of the Partisan Romeo and
Juliet. Georges Vavian and Marie
Machine are about the age of the inn
mortal lovers of Verona, and 4 feud
divides their houses. They determined
to carry out the likeness TO the END.
The first time every requisite for the
tragic denoument was prepared.
Georges had provided pistols, and the
occasion was to be a walk in de-
serted garden at nightfall. When the
final crisis was at hand, however, the
pair found they had omitted to pro-
vide themselves with sufficient forti-
tude on this first occasion to carry out
their foolish project. Nothing 10th,
they determined upon making a sec
ond attempt.
This time a well-known recipe for in
stilling artificial bravery was put into
use. Hoping to compensate with
Dutch courage his natural lack of
valor, Vavian drank quantity of
brandy, and took up a pistol to shoot
his betrothed. Again his nerve failed
him. Still undeterred, Vayian imbibed
more brandy. Having at las. screwed
his courage up to the sticking place
by these artificial means, he leveled his
weapon at Marie Machine, this time
, with serious results. He fired and
wounded her in the forehead. Sud-
denly, aghast at what he had done,
he threw the pistol away instead Of
pointing it at himself, and shouted
Justify for help. Fortunately, the
boys hand appears to have shaken,
possibly under the influence of drink.
when he took aim at Marie Machine,
and the life of the latter was spared.

A PISCATORIAL CONUNDRUM.
How n Twelve-FOot Fish Was Cap
tured with n Crowbar Down
I'm Massachusetts.

Daniel A. Buckley, of Cambridge
had ON exciting experience at his sum-
mer home at Annisquam the other day,
which resulted in the capture OF 12-
foot fish, the name of which Is at pres
ent unknown, says the Boston Tran
script. The knowledge of specialists
is to be called in to determine to what
species the fish belongs. Mr.. Buckley
is engaged In building O cottage on the
beach at Annisquam. He was superin-
tending the work, when his attention
was drawn to something struggling IN
shallow water. Two of his men, armed
with crowbars, rushed into the water
and belabored the unknown thing with
might and main, the doughty Daniel
directing their efforts from the beach.
The fish was sldllfully guided into
still shallower water and IA shots from
O revolver were put into his body.
Finally line was attached to its tall
and after fight of two hours 1t was
hauled out. Mr.. Buckley describes 1t
as 10 feet long, with q sharp snout one
foot long. Back of the head the body
is barrel-shaped, and it tapers grace.
fully to the tail. which is powerful and
capable of executing great damage.
Although there were many men in the
crowd which gathered who had fol-
lowed the sea. hone could tell the
name of the fish.

THE FIRST PHOTOGRAPHS.
To America belongs the Honor
Prof. Diapers Sister Sat Thirty
Minutes for Her Portrait.

Elizabeth Flint Wade has an illus
trated paper on photography: Its
Marvels" in ST. Nicholas. The author
says:
The first accounts of this great dis
covery are very entertaining reading.
Prof. Morse, the inventor of the tele-
graph, was in Paris when the news
was published. and at once went to see
Daguerre's wonderful pictures. In
describing them afterward. he said
that moving objects made no impress
sion on the plate; for picture taken
of a crowded boulevard showed it as If
entirely deserted, with the exception
of a man having his shoes polished.
The mans feet, he said, were well de-
fined. because they were kept station
ary; but he was without head or body,
for these were In motion.
ITO America belongs the honor of
making the first Photographic por-
trait, the artist being Prof. John
Draper, professor, and afterward the
president, of the University of New
York. His victim was his sister, Miss
Catherine Draper He powdered her
-s~~~-AL-A--a-r-sss~o tye
quickly impressed on the sensitive
plate, and for 30 minutes Miss Draper
sat-or, at least, tried to sit-as Inn
movable as a statue.
"The first class in photography was
formed in Boston in the spring Of 1910
by Daguerre's agent, Gourad Of Paris.
Rev. Edward Everett Hale, then stu
dent in Harvard, became an enthusi-
astic member of the class. In his
diary, under date of April /, 1910, Is
this entry: On my way home I
stopped at the shop and got my
daguerreotype thermometer. There
seems to be a great demand; there
were three or four others there"

SHE ROUNDS UP HOBOES.
weaterr Woman Who Is an Experl
iu Per-undIn& Trnmps to Work
on a railroad.

Mrs. S. J. Atwood calls herself the
Hobo Hustler of the West" and there
is possibly no ether woman in the
world who holds a similar position,
says the Kansas City World.
Her business Is to gather up all the
idle laborers she can find md put them
TO work on the Union Pacific railroad
in Colorado, Wyoming and other west
ern sections. She has been employed
by the Union Pacific in this capacity for
the past IL years, and the company
finds her services indispensable.
Mrs. Atwood arrived in Kansas City
the other day. and the next day she
left with so meL for Wyoming Most
of the men were negroes. Several of
them had the appearance of typical
hoboes. Mrs. Atwood has been in the
business so long that she says she can
tell by looking ct man whether or
not he will make good hand. When
she sees one who suits her taste she apr
proaches him without hesitation and
asks him how he would like the posi-.
ton she has to fer. 1t only requires
the work of about a minute for the
terms to be arranged, and the man Is
escorted TO some corner where others
she has engaged have been congre-
gated.
Mrs. Atwood has no place she calls
her home, but she usually makes Dem
yer her headquarters. Most of her
time is spent between Denver and
Portland, Ore. She says she does not
exactly like the style of the men she
received in Kansas City, as they do not
look sufficiently hardy, but that labor
is very scarce in the far west just now
and she could do no better. --
THE hobo hustler" is little wom-
an about 3eyears of age. She has
short curly HAIR that is as black as
night She walks with an agile step
and always has a pleasing smile for
even the toughest hobo.

was quite comfortable inside. Mrs.
Powers was cheerful as you please.
She greeted us all kindly, and went
bustling around apoiogizing for the
scant luxury of her home. just as Mrs.
Lecks or Mrs. Aleshine would have

alone on a desert island. with only her
son and Swedish sailor for company,
than If she had been on a ranch five
miles from town. Yet she is, year in
and year out, almost entirely alone,
and for four years she has not seen
one of her own sex.
"The comfort of the lonely home and
the charm of do-nothing life almost
made me desire to stay on the island,
too. It is a lotus eaters life. There is
no worry about it, no straining of
nerves, no rivalry of pride or pocket
books. On the island Suffering Pete
is joint king of the realm. On the
mainland Suffering Pete is an out
cast sailor, to be cursed and cuffed
by some clustering mate. That is the
difference.

SINGING IN CAMP.

The army camp in Quietude
Meath Cuban skies was near 10 slumber.
For rank on rank within the wood
Had stacked the arms that heavy cum
ber;
II seemed the world was wooing sleep.
A sleep TO homesick hearts so willy.
When down the line some voice rang deep
A note Of love to Mamie Reilly"
A hush OF death. save for that voice!
But oh! how many thoughts were wing
ing
And then, as though 'twere each ones
choice.
A thousand others Joined the singing;
For each had sweethearts somewheres.
home,
And war had lost its dash and splendor;
The Cuban wood and twilight gloam
Had made each soldiers heart grow ten
der.
Then, farther down the line. there rang
The notes OF Sweet Marie" and solemn
As anthems ancient choirs sang
The chorus rolled adown the column:
For soldier hearts. in war so strong.
Hath ever peaceful memories clingtng,
And every voice that line along
To some afar Marie was singing.
luu, and then from out group
OF tents that in the woodland rested
A song broke forth that to the troop
A loyalty and love attested.
Along the Wabash" reached the ears
OF tired corps in rest reposing.
And then there rose burst Of cheers,
The Indiana camp disclosing.
Then sudden blew a bugier's note,
The call of "taps'-"lights out"-and
sleeping
The soldier breathed a prayer by rote:
That One might hold within His keeping
The destinies OF those a home.
To whom his sweetest thoughts were
winging.
And in the gathering even's gloom
A heart was softened by the singing.
