In a recent article on the origin of
the Yosemite valley, Professor W. P.
Blake-a most adequate authority on
the subject-remarks that the gorge. so
grand and impressive, is. in fact. only
minor feature of the glacial workings
above it through hundreds of square
miles of the Sierra. Professor Blake
| thinks that the ice must have filed the
gorge, and much above it, to thick
ness of 5000 feet. and with pressure
upon the floor Of the valley of 10000
pounds to the square foot; the ire

through which it passed.
The character Of the Yosemite rock
being granite, close grained and verti

fracture. ii would appear that. as the
great mass of ice bore down upon this
vertical rock, it was broken and knock

at the places of easy cleavage. Thus,
according to Professor Blake. the prec~

-rHE Poem.

He lifted his head,
And the Vision that stood there smiled.
.tOh, Poet" she said,
ST have come at thy bidding; no child
OF thy fancy, dead,
But living and breathing as thoui
Take me now!''
His heart, how it burned!
But he thought, "'Tis dream. II move,
1t will vanish and yearned
With an infinite yearning and strove
With his doubts till she turned
She, the vision-and sorrowful went
Ere he knew her intent.
He leapt to his feet
And seized on her undulant veil,
With its odor as sweet
As the Maytime, and, 10, it did trail
In his hand, all completed
She had gone, and he cherished, forlorn,
The veil she had worn.
The veil he appraised.
He showed it to men, and they cried
AS they noted, amazed,
The diaphanous wonder, "What pride
OF invention!'' and praised.
But sweeter and sadder he grew
And replied, "If you knew?"

There Is One Thing That No Incu-

There Is One Thfng Th3t NO 1ncu-
bator Yet Devised Can Do.
Worcester (Mass.) Gazette.
The poultry show has come and gone.
With 1t have gone the ineubators, but
though they have gone they have left
behind In the minds of Worcester coun-
ty chicken-raisers and farmers little
germs of ideas, which may some day ma
terialize into what will be of decided adj
vantage to the chicken-growing world.
Not that the incubator is new in Wor-
cester, or anywhere else, for it is not. 1t
has been used for years by the men who
raise chickens for the market. 1t has
been proved great money-saver. A good
incubator can turn out from 200 to 250
chickens per day. There are no incuba-
tor unions; they work overtime, night and
day in fact, without extra pay; they are
patient, accomplishing slaves who I'M
ceasingly strive to improve on nature to
the end that their owners may grow rich
on their earnings.
But with all their advantages they have
their failings, like all things made Of
man. Man, in his conceit and ignorance,
has tried to make the incubator do what
the hen does, and do it better. To a de-
gree he has succeeded; in the main he
has failed. The incubator can hatch more
eggs than can a good-sized flock of hens,
but it cannot do the work as well.
The great number of deformed chickens
which are to be found in the poultry
farms today can be justly attributed to
the incubator. Why 1t should be the cause
of deforming chickens in the process of

New York Times.
One of the best known lawyers In town
suggests that 1t would be proper thing
for the leaders of fashion in the city to
institute the fashion of wearing the
crush opera hat on Sundays when going
to and from church services. 1.-THE tall
silk hat" says he, rs just as much of a
nuisance at the church as it is at the
opera or the theater, so that every rea-
son that applies for taking the crush hat
to place Of amusement applies to
wearing it at church. Then, should the
fashion be adopted, aside from the COM
fort for the wearer, 1t would be a sort
or badge that man was on his way to
church and was not out for a walk for
the purpose Of giving the girls treat
The crush hat is a sort Of badge of fash
ion, showing that the wearer is accus-
toned to the usages Of society, at least.
The scheme would have economic merit
as well, for a crush hat is a good rainy
day hat, which the silk one is not, and
should the idea be taken up it would be
good thing for the hatters, for every
well dressed man would have crush hat
that would be made in conformity with
the prevailing fashion just as he now
has silk hat for business wear Push

and when the leaders in fashion adopt
the thing there will be host of follow

PASSENGER TRAVEL
Upon the Railways Never Likely

Upon the Railways Never Likely to
BE Faster Than at Present.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.
The conversation of group Of railroad
officials in the st. Charles last evening
turned on the possibilities of increased
speed in the trains Of the next century.
II doubt exceedingly" said one of the
party, whether people will ever travel
at much above the maximum speed OF
the present day. In my opinion the eff
forts Of the future will be to reduce the
percentage of risk rather than increase
the average of speed. But one thing is
certain to take place. he continued, land
that is the construction of special lines
for carrying mail and some classes OF
goods. There is no reason why they
should not be rushed over the country at
enormously high speeds, possibly in pneu-
matte tubes, but more likely in open air
cars of some sort, propelled by electricity
and automatically controlled. That would
make it unnecessary to consider the safe
ty Of human beings as a factor in the
problem. A car would simply be started
at one point and stop of itself at another,
and business Of every kind would be tre-
mendously facilitated, It ought to be en-
tirely practicable to send mail and some
kinds of fast freight from New York to
Chicago in from six to eight hours, and
If that was done the people themselves
would be content to jog along at much
more moderate gait. One Of the great
demands of the time is for faster and
faster mail communication, and I believe
the day Is comparatively near at hand
when that service will Of necessity be
disassociated altogether from the trans
portation Of passengers. Human life is
too valuable to ever risk it at much over
eighty miles to the hour"

money, paid high for them. The books
had the price printed on the backs in
plain figures, '50c,' but the C. looked ex-
actly like a naught with a piece clipped
out, and such was the stupidity, or rather
the ignorance of the majority Of men in
that part of the country that they were
easily 'conned into paying a handsome
price for the books. i want a couple O.

his hands. Now, if you would like to
take a draw for the little box that's got

The man would always jump at it for the
reason that there was small pencil

put the tenner in. The wise guy would
always see 1t and think he had lead
pipe cinch on the graft. When he made
his draw he would be greatly surprised
not to find the long green inside; but,
you see, there were two boxes marked
exactly in the same way. and only one
was turned toward the customer. In
shutting the boxes the butcher would
turn the two around and the box the
man would draw, thinking it was the one
he had seen the bill placed in, would
contain nothing but figs.

Belle PLANE, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, The citizens Of the republics
on the African continent, the Transvaal
and Orange Free State, are at the pres
ent time engaged in heroic fight for
their lands, their liberties, their homes
and their tiresides against the rapaclous
and avaricious greed OF Great Britain;
and,
Whereas, The cause which Great Britain
alleges for this most unholy, unjust and
uncalled for war, civilization and l;ber-
ty for ALL in the mouth of Great Britain
is nothing but cant and intended to de-
lude and deceive; and,
Whereas, The actions of Great Britain
in its conduct of warfare Is diabollcal and
cruel in the extreme and In violation OF
every feeling for justice and humanity,
and richly deserves the condemnation of
all fair-minded liberty-ioving people;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we. the members of d.
vision No. /, A. o. H. of Scott county,
Mimi, do hereby extend to those valiant
defenders of their country and their
homes our heartfelt sympathy, and pray
efforts that another such asylum for the
down-trodden and oppressed and another
such home of liberty may be erected in
South Africa as perpetual monument TO
their achievements, NdlOI anu SuCSSSo,
as the fathers of this republic construct
ed here. in America against the same
tyranicaI people in their avaricious greed.
Resolved, further, That We desire to
emphatically brand with the contempt
and hatred It deserves the policy of Great
Britain by which she, with her paid press
and bowling jingoes, tries to deceive the
people Of the world with professions Of
good will, and declare the same like unto
wolf in sleeps clothing.
Resolved, further. That we deprecate,
and condemn in the most vehement terms,
the actions Of a few of our people Of the
hired Hessian'' kind who are assisting
England in her attempt to straddle the
yoke Of tyranny and oppression on g
liberty loving people that she has been
chasing with an iron rod during the past
century.
Resolved, further, That we commend
the action of Senator Mason, Congress
man Sulzer, Congressman Cowherd and
others in congress who are not afraid to
voice the sentiments of nine-tenths Of the
people of the United States.
Resolved, further That this division
contribute S25 to aid the Boer Red Cross
fund, and that we urge on all our men,
bers to use every lawful means at their
disposal as citizens Of this republic to
keep unpopular and make impossible the
present disgraceful designs of England
in South Africa. and save from the blight
