basins. They are probably fed by
springs in their beds and act as reser-
voirs, from which flow many of the
streams that drain the slopes. The

tude Of $3.50 feet, and was 1900 feet

Kolb late in 1895, discovered Lake

mile and a quarter wide, over whose

1t will be no light task to travel clear
around the mountain, as Mr. Mackin-
der proposes to do, for the tropical
jungle, the forest zone above it and the
1oftier region of ice and snow are not
easy to penetrate, and the main axis of
the mountain is thirty miles in length.
1t will not be surprising to hear that
the party reaches the summit. Very
likely Mr. Kolb would have done so in
1895 if his food supply had not given
out after he reached the summit pla-
teau, 900 feet above the sea. The
| ice-crowned pinnacle of Kenia rises
only a few hundred feet above this
plateau, and Kolb believed it might be
| climbed, though with some difficulty,
as it rises from narrow base and has
a steep slope. If all goes we'll with
Mackinder he will study the mountain
problems for a longer time and with
| better appliances than any of his pred-
ecessors, and the prospects are good
that he will bring back much interest

The cobbler, simple soul! was a good
deal taken aback at this convincing
TRADE. He attempted a defence, how
ever.
May, he's not miserable hear TO
him sing; would he sing like that if ne
weren't happy?"
"Yes," cried Evelyn, che sings be-
cause he longs to be free; that is Inc
song of despair, and not of joy
The old fellows face fell. Her elo-
quence half convinced him. Evelyn
felt rather heated, and wanted, she
didn't know why, to get out of the
shop.

coin. 1.-TWO and six, and far more

Keep your bird, then!" cried the
angry reformer; keep it, and let it die
in it's miserable prison. Some day you
will perhaps repent your wanton cruel
ty." With which grandiloquent threat
she departed, with rather more haste
than dignity.
That night, getting into bed, Evelyn
came to the conclusion that she had
made rather a poor show.
She had also a lurking idea that her
motive had not been quite so much the
cause of righteousness as the pleasure
of reporting progress to her new So
ciety. Her passionate words kept re-
curing to her mind as she lay sleep

was, she decided, overyoung to judge

and conscientious girl, she bravely re-

her pride to the dust, and own herself
in the wrong.
About o'clock the next morning
walking, with rather a red face, up the
narrow street, she perceived the old
fellow standing at his door with the
empty cage in his hand; he was gazing
toward the sky, and she saw tear
trickle down his wrinkled cheek. He
turned as she approached, and smiled
mournfully in answer to her inquiring
glance.

HATS OF OUR ANCESTORS.
Changes That Have Taken Place in
Manufacturing Headgear

Speaking of hat business said a
veteran of the business to the local
historian, most wonderful changes
have taken place since 1850. In olden
times soft felt and derby hats were 1ot
known, and it was as late as 1843 when
silk dress hats were first introduced IN
this country, this being a French in
vention, and all plush used for hats in
the world was, up to this time, made in
France. When Kossuth came to
America he introduced the soft felt
hats wearing one himself It did not
take American matters long to take Up
the idea, and in less than one year old
and young Americans covered their
heads with Kossuth hats. They were
in shape nearly the same as tourist
hats now, only being trimmed up with
a nice, long ostrich plume. Along
about 1858 an English tourist came
along with the derby hat, and in very
few years they became the general
headgear in the country, and up to the
present date the demand for soft hats
and derby hats is nearly evenly di-
vided.
''In those days all the best class Of
soft hats were imported from France,
and stiff derbies from England This,
however, has taken a material change,
as American hats are now sold in I'll
parts of the globe, and it is a known
fact that we produce the most tasty
and best hats made. Before the ar
rival of Kossuth and the English tour
list, however, the Americans did not go
bareheaded, but contented themselves
with mapped otter and mapped Beaver
hats, for the more expensive, and the
sO-called scratch-up or brush hats for
the cheaper. Brush or scratch-up de-
rive their name from the fact that nap
was raised on them by means of stiff
brush constructed of wha1ebones. The
first manufacturers who made Ameri-
can production in those goods popular
and world-renowned, and who forced
French and English hats out of this
market, were Rinaldo M. Waters, John
B. Stetson, J. D. Bird and B. J. Brown.
During the early periods of 1910 and
1850 dealer was halter in fact, else
there would have been no room for
him, as all made the hats they sold,
all handwork, no machines of any kind,
and one who knew how to make a
mapped otter or beaver hat was an art
list, earning $40 or $50 per week being
nothing unusual, many making from
SIS to $500. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

FRUITING OF OAKS.

1t is not generally known to the
average lover of trees, though botan-
lists are we'll acquainted with the
fact, that some oaks take over a yeal
to mature the acOrns. The little flower
in the axis of the leaves, when the
new growth is just starting, receives
the pollen from the long, twinelike
catkins that hang like tassels all over
the branches, and then go to rest fol-
the season. The next year when the
new flowers are going through the
same process, the little germs fer
tilted the season before take on re-
newed activity and by the fall of this
second season are mature acorns
Only the second classed as white oaks
go through the whole process from
fertilization to maturity the same
season. All the other species take
two seasons to perfect their acorns
In some seasons the male flowers
which are more susceptible to heat
than the females, come to a pollenifer-
Gus stage before the fruit bearing
flowers have advanced sufficiently to
profit by the pollen. And this is true
of all amentaceous plants. A crop of
nuts Of any kind is dependent on the
period of maturity of the catkins. In
the more northern regions, where
there are but few extra warm days in
the winter season, the nut crop is
more uniform in successive years.

A WISH.

Mine be a cot beside the hill,
A bee-hive's hum shall sooth my
ear,
A willowy brook that turns mill,
With many fall shall linger near.
The swallow, oft beneath my thatch,
Shall twitter from her clay-built
nest;
Oft shall the pilgrim lift the latch
And share my meal, a welcome
guest.
Around my ivied porch shall spring
Each fragrant flower that drinks the
dew;
And Lucy at her wheel shall sing
In russell gown and apron blue.
The village church, among the trees,
Where first our marriage VOWS were
given,
With merry peals shall swell the
breeze,
And point with taper spire to
heaven.

EXPLORING MOUNT KENIA.
Party Leaves to Make a Study of the
Great Snow Mountain.

Late last month H. J. Mackinder,
reader in geography at the University
of Oxford, left England with party
and a fine equipment, intending to
make as thorough a study as can be
made in a month of Mount Kenia, in
East Africa, the second largest Of At
rican SUBMITS and the only great
mountain in the continent lying direct
ly on the equator Six men make up
the party. The utility of having the
best of Alpine guides for mountain ex-
ploration was demonstrated long ago,
and the party's journey up the noun
tain will certainly be facilitated by the
two competent Swiss guides who are
with it. Mr.. Mackinder is also accom-
panied by two taxidermists and col
lectors and by Mr. Hausburg, who has
paid a considerable part of the expen-
ses, which are also shared by the Roy
al Geographical society.
The expedition is fully supplied with
instruments, cameras and other means
of carrying on scientific work. The
party proposes to camp at height Of
about 5000 feet and from this as
base they will endeavor to make good
map of the whole mountain, ascend to
it's summit, which has not yet been
reached, journey all around the noun
tain, investigate its glaciation and it's
geology and make ample collections of
animals and plants. Mr.. Mackinder
hopes to spend at least month on the
mountain, but expects to be back in
England about the beginning of Octo-
Der.
These plans illustrate the progress Of
events in Africa. Not long ago twelve
to eighteen months would have been
required to carry out this scheme of
exploration, but now the railroad that
is building from the Indian Ocean to
Victoria Nyanza will take the explor
ers almost to the base of the mountain.
Most of the time hitherto required to
get to and from Kenia is now saved,
and the party may, therefore, do
good deal of work at the mountain and
make the journey to and from it with
in the limits Of a summer vacation.
The work will be full Of interest and
opportunities. The most important in
vestigations yet made were those of DR..
j. w. Gregory who succeeded in reach
ing a height Of about 1000 feet. His
work proved that further observations
would certainly yield interesting scien-
tifc results. One remarkable fact he
discovered was that the moraines de-
scend 5000 feet below the present limit
of the glaciers, showing that, long ago,
it was a great deal colder at the equa-
tor than it is now, for the glaciers de-
scendeda mile below their present limit.
Both the present glaciers and the evil
dences of their former extent will be
among the studies of this summer.
Then the collection of high mountain
fora will have special interest, because
these plants are far less known than
those growing at lower levels, and
their marked aff1nities with European
and Mediterranean plants on one side
and with those of South Africa on the
other have not yet been fully worked
out Then the lakes and other topo-
graphic features of the slopes will be
studied. On the west slope Of the
mountain DR.. Gregory found quite

SOAP BUBBLES THAT LAST.

If one wishes to make soap bubbles
which will last several days prepare the
following mixture in a room where the
temperature is not lower than sixty
five degrees. Dissolve at a gentle heat
one part of CASTLE soap, previously
cut into thin shavings, in forty parts
of water distilled, if possible), and
when the solution is cold filter it.
Having done this carefully, mix in a
bottle by violent and persistent shak-
ing little at time two parts of { ~
cerine with three parts of the above
mentioned solution of soap and allow
it then to stand where it will not be in
the way of dust. The liquid, which is
at first clear, soon becomes turbid
After a few days a white precipitate
will have risen to the top of the liquid,
leaving the remainder clear. Draw off
the clear portion with a siphon Ga
bent tube), and keep it for use. To
use a siphon it is necessary first to fill
it and then to plunge the shorter arm
into the liquid to be drawn off. This
mixture is called glycerine liquid. The
film it forms is of such strength that
bubble four inches in diameter may
be kept in the open air of a room for
three hours, if supported by a ring of
iron or bone an inch and half in dia-
meter, or allowed to rest on some soft
wooden fabric. If placed under a glass
shade it may last as long as three days
If filled with tobacco smoke it looks
very much as if it were solid.-Denver

The Flagstaff Laundry.

The machinery for the Flagstaff Steam Laundry arrived Thursday. There is carload of it, and it will be placed in position next week.
 P. M. Gavin, the proprietor of the new enterprise has leased the Sykes building and will occupy both floors of that place. Everything about the laundry will be strictly first-class, the machinery being latest improved patterns, and the work will be in charge of experienced employees.
 Mir. Gavin is certainly entitled to every encouragement that our citi- zens can give him in this enterprise az Flagstaff has long needed just such an institution as he intends giving us. The exact date of the opening of the laundry cannot now be given, but due notice of the opening will be made.
