Pioneers In Alpine Climbing.

The professors of the Swiss univer-
stiles were the pioneers in Alpine
climbing. But it would be a mistake
to imagine that the pioneers were al
ways enticed into the solitudes by love
of nature, through sense of scenic
grandeur and beauty, as these have
been understood since RuSkin opened
the eyes of men. One of them spent
many Il season in searching for traces
of the dragon of fable. Another as Mr..
Gribble has pointed out in n weekly
contemporary, went aloft to test the
truth of the tradition that the top of
Pilatus held Pontius Pilates body.
Gesner's feeling for mountain scenery
must have been somewhat of the Rus
kinian order. But Gesner was an eX-
ceptiOnal person.
The Japanese have n ,,roverb relat-
ing to one of their most famous noun

the nineteenth century modern Euro

orally of that way of thinking. Ninety
years ago some of them painted the
risks of mountaineering in language
that in our day would be appropriate
to n north pole trip in Andree's bal
loon.-LondOn Daily News.

SIxInrL,s GInrInun Song.

Need | say word about the skylark
and its wholly joyous song? 1t in
spired one of Jeremy Taylor's most
beautiful and best known passages
the lark rising from his bed of grass
and soaring upward, singing as he
rises and hoping to get to heaven and
climb above the clouds; singing 'as il
it had learned music from an angel as
he passed sometimes through the air
about his ministering here below"
And it inspired, too, one of the finest
odes in the English language, Shelley's
finest work, his supreme ode" But,
as may be said of another ode, it Is
mot in tune with the birds song and
the feeling it does and ought to
awaken. The rapture with which the
strain springs up at first dies down
before the close into Shelley's ever
haunting melancholy.
Like Keats lode to the Nightingale" F"
it Is no key to the birds song. 1t does
not teach us anything of the thought
and feeling which inspired that CULVER
ing, ascending embodiment of joy, that
pilgrim of the sky, hiding itself In the
glorious light of the summer heavens.

GaIIantry of Ambrose BIerce.

No one made any remark upon the
temerity of the ladies who invited Am
broSe Bierce to deliver a lecture before
the members of their club. Undaunted
by his reputation they fearlessly beard
ed the lion in his den, committee eX-
tending the invitation verbally.
Bierce was so taken aback by the
uneXpectedness of the request that, to
his own surprise, he found himself
weakly accepting the bid and then
humbly consulting his callers concern
ing the topic upon which they might
desire him to speak.
The president, a dignified and very
conservative lady, in reply to n novel
suggestion of the lecturer elect, re-
marked somewhat loftily that they
were not a club of new women.
81 am convinced of that" answered
Mr.. Biercc in Il bland and deferential
tone, which almost but not quite con-
cealed his cynicism. ''Shall l say you
are n club of old women?'-San Fran
cisco News Letter.

mere damp hay is not only possible
and even easy, but that 1t is possible
to put in hay in such manner that.
under the right condition of the wealth
er, it will certainly heat to burning
simply by internal fermentation and
oxidation of its carbonaceOus matter.
| have seen hundreds of mOws and
stacks of hay in my life the center OF
which, when taken down for use, has
been of dark brown and in some in
stances black and actually charred by
the heat.
1t is a frequent occurrence that ships
are burned by spontaneous fires occur
ring in the coal bunkers. The fact is
that damp carbonaceous matters. as
we'll as oily stun OF the same kind, viii
oxidize so actively as to take fire.
Secondary fermentation will not pro-
duce sufficient heat to cause combus-
ton, SO that it is wise precaution to
have this first fermentation go on in
the hay in the field. with the hay in
cocks The form OF the cock is best
tall and slender. for in this form the

common hay cap, while low, broad

from a few hours rain.

cocks are necessarily out in the wealth
er, they will be safe against weeks OF
wet, if such misfortune should hap
pen to a farmer, for the cap on the top
will turn the water there, and the
sides, we'll raked down, will shed all
the drip. Hay put up in these cocks
will cure perfectly, with no risk OF
harm, and once this first fermentation
is over there will be no secondary one,
for dampness afterward will be due TO
water only and not to the sap OF the
grass which is sufficiently carbona-
ceous to start the requisite fermenta-
ton for the production of heat. \ sec
ondary wetting of the hay will cause
mold, but not any fermentation OF the
hay by which heat will be produced
am so sure Of the possibility OF
spontaneous combustion OF the hay
that l would be very careful to avoid
the risk OF it by the simple method OF
having this fermentation go on in the
field in n safely made cock I'm which
there is not more than 400 pounds OF
hay.
