How Canyons Were Formed.

The secret of the great denudat1on
and of this wonderful achievement Of
the Colorado in carving out Of rock a
series Of canyons about 800 miles long
and, In one place at least, more than a
mile deep, with a multitude of tribu-
tary chasms and gorges, is very simple
when you know 1t. The old lake bed
slowly rose At first the Colorado Riv-
er and its tributaries, or some name
less monstrous ancestors Of these,
sweeping over the slowly rising sur
faces, planed them down In most re-
lentless fashion, and then began wear
ing out broad shallow stream beds.
But then the country rose more rapid
ly, 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 suspended sand which it bore from
the up country, or picked up as 1t went
along, and to the thump of pebbles
and powders which. it swept on In
flood time, the river kept cutting down
as the strata rose, until finally, when
what was left Of our inland sea bottom
got thrust up so that, towering far
above It's erstwhile rocky shores, it
had to be called plateau, the Colora-
do and It's auxiliaries found themselves
at the bottom of series of colossal
canyons and gorges, where they are
to-day.-Harper's Magazine.

An Artificial Man

A doctor has CALCULATED how much it
would cost to make an artificial man.
He estimates that pair of arms cost
500, or, with the hands articulated,
cost about $175; pair of legs, also
articulated, cost about $40; q ealSe
nose in metal from $50 to 500. For
$130 he believes that he could get a
pair of ears just like natures handl-
work, fitted with artificial ear drums
and resonatOrs. A complete set Of
teeth, with palate in platinum, costs
from $40 to 500, and for good pair
OF artificial eyes about $50 would hay"
to be paid. Thus the actual cost of
restoring a battered veteran who has
lost most Of his scparabla parts would
be about 5000.

Spends His life I'm Prison.

Count Rocco Dianoyitch has made the
getting into prison the chief business
Of his life for thirty-four of the forty
seven years he has lived, for book he
is anxious to write on the subject. At
IS he left his home and went into Prus-
sia, where he was arrested for tres
passing and sent to prison for three
months, working at chair-making.
From that time to this he has never
been free from the desire to continue
his prison explorations.
From 10 till he was 20 he was in and
out Of more than twenty prisons In
Belgium, Prussia, Poland and Russia.
His first experience of Jail life in Eng
land was in Liverpool which was ono
Of the worst he was ever in, filled with
world. He stayed there six days, when
he paid his fine and got out, the first
time he failed to serve his sentence.
Then he went to Ireland, France, Spain,
Italy, Greece and Turkey, then to
Egypt, where the jails are the worst
In the world except Australia; next to
India and Japan, and then to America,
where he remained for more than a
year, spending most of his time In Iails
and penitentiaries. 49, PittSburg Dis

why Pounds Are sterling

Business men are ALWAYS talking
about so many pounds sterling; yet
probably not l per cent Of them are
aware of the origin of the term 1t
dates back to the time of Richard
Occur de Lion, when money coined in
the east part of Germany came into
special request in this country on ac-
count of its purity, and was called
fostering money, because in those DAYS
all the inhabitants of those parts were
called Easterlings In the course of time
some of these Germans were brought
to London, and the pieces they mint
ed soon became known as sterling, from
the word Easterling. London Ex-

Faithful Shephert1 Dogs.

A cold spell In Montana killed a
sheep herder in the Great Falls Dis
trict. Two feet OF snow covered the
range in places, and the thermometer
indicated forty degrees below zero.
The herder was frozen to death on
the prairies while caring for the sheep,
and 1t was three days before his fate
was known TO his employers. Two
shepherd dogs were with him when he
died, and one Of these staid with his
body while the other attended to the
sheep, just as though the herder had
been with him. The dog drove them
out on the range in the morning and
back again Mt night, guarding them
from wolves and preventing them from
straying off. Neither dog had anything
to eat during the three days vigil, SO
far as could be ascertained, but the
$500 sheep thrived as well apparently
as though directed by human agency.
The singular fact about the matter is
that these faithful creatures would
have starved to death rather than harm
one of the sheep left in their charge.
