Clouds In The Grand Canon.

from Inc NONeIuOci NSh'uAS-
A good storm cloud full of lightning and
rain on its way to Its work on sunny desert
dav is glorious object. Across the canon,
opposite the hotel, is little tributary OF
the Colorado called Bright Angel creek
A fountain cloud still better deserves the
name ''Angel of the Desert Wells clad
in bright plumage, carrying cool shade and
living water to countless animals and plants
ready to perish, noble in form and gesture,
seeming able for anything, pouring lie
giving, wonder working floods from Its
alabaster fountains, as if some sky lake
had broken. To every gulch and gorge
on its favorite ground is given passionate
torrent, roaring, replying to the rejoicing
liehtning-stones, tons in weight, hurry
ing away as if frightened, showing some
thing of the way Grand Canon work Is done.
Most of the fertile summer clouds OF the
canon are of this sort, massive, swelling
cumuli, growing rapidly, displaying dellcl-
GUS tones of purple and grey in the hollows
of their sunbeaten bosses, showering favor
ed areas Of the heated landscape, and van
ishing in an hour or two. Some, busy
and thoughtful looking, glide with beautl-
full motion along the middle OF the canon
in focks, turning aside here and there,
lingering as if studying the needs OF par
ticular spots, exploring side canons, peerlng
into hollows like birds seeking nest places,
or lowering aloft on outspread wings.
They scan all the red wilderness, dispensing
their blessings Of cool shadows and rain
where the need is the greatest, refreshing
the rocks, their offspring, as we'll as the
vegetation, continuing their soul pture,
deepening gorges and sharpening peaks
Sometimes, blending all together, they
weave ceiling from rim to rim, perhaps
opening window here and there for sun
shine to stream through, suddenly light
ing some palace or temple and making 1t
fare in the rain as if on fire
Sometimes, as one sits gazing from
high, jutting promontory, the sky all clear,
not the slightest wisp or penciling,
a bright, band of cumuli will appear sud
denly, coming up the canon in single file,
as if tracing a well known trail passing in
review. each in turn darling its lances and
dropping its shower, making a row of little
vertical rivers in the air above the big
brown one. Others seem to grow from
mere points, and fly high above the canon,
yet following its course for long time,
noiseless, as if hunting, then suddenly dart
inc lightning at unseen marks, and hurry
ing on. Or they loiter here and there as
if idle, like laborers out of work, waiting
to be hired.

A New Freight Road

The Pennsylvania Railroad, in order to
relieve congestion on the main line between
Philadelphia and Pittsburg. will build low
grade freight line from the Susquehanna river
to the Delaware. The line will be 80 miles
in length and will cost about So, 1000, 900, will
include a new bridge across the Susquehanna
and will be completed within two years.
Marysville in Perry county, at the western
end of the new 81, 600, 900 stone bridge across
the Susquehanna, which the Pennsylvania
lately completed, is the point where the Penn,
sylvania and Northern Central roads meet
and here the Pennsylvania new freight line
will begin The Pennsylvania will use the
Northern Central tracks on the west side of
the Suquehanna from MarysvilIe to Mt Wolf
passing by Harrisburg on the Bridgeport side
of the river. At Mt. Wolf in York county,
the Pennsylvania will leave the Northern Cen
trail and begin to build its new double track
road. The Susquehanna river will be crossed
by a new steel bridge at Shock Mill, where
the Codorus creek empties. The bridge will
terminate on the Columbia branch ofthe Penn
sylvania about six miles above Columbia.
The line will then pass to Columbia and down
along the east side of the river on the bed of
the Columbia and Port Deposit road, proba-
bly, as far as Safe Barbor Lancaster county,
and then new double track line will be
built straight across Southern Lancaster
county and the centre of Chester county to
DOWningtown.

Letter. Carriers In Trouble.

The United States civil service commission,
Washington, d. c., has started an investi-
CATION into the relation of j. c. Keller, presi
dent Of the National Association Of Letter Car
riers, to the defeat for re election to congress
of Hon. Eugene f. Loud of California, chair
man of the House committee on post office
and post roads. The charge has been made
that Mr.. Loud was defeated through the efforts
of the letter carriers, assisted by the rural free
delivery service employees. and that the eff.
forts Of the carriers toward the defeat of Mr..
Loud we're made because the California rep
resenaiive opposed an increase in pay for the
letter carriers and the men engaged in the
rural free delivery service.
1t is understood that some of the officers of
the Letter Carriers Association, it is said, are
afraid Mr.. Keller will be discharged on &C
count the Loud case, and some of them have
approached the postoffice department to learn
whether, if Mr.. Keller were to be deposed as
president of the association, his successor in
Office would be permitted to make campaign
during the coming session of congress for an
increase in pay for the carriers.
These inqurers have been informed that
the letter carriers will not be permitted TO APP
proach congress with request for increased
pay except in ethe regular way-through the
postmaster general.

Mountains Of Salt.

Probably one of the greatest natural
curiosities in the world, whose existence is
but little known, is the great mountain of
salt located at Cardona, Spain, in the foot
hills Of the Pyrenees. This marvel stands
in dreary and inaccessible region, off the
highway of travel, and is only reached by
a drive of % miles in mule cart.
A recent party of scientists visited this
giant salt mountain and reported some in
teresting facts in regard to the same The
mountain is several thousand feet high and
is estimated to contain 500, 900, 600 tons
of rock salt This enormous quantity of
salt is made more apparent by the fact that
the bordering country of France consumes
700, 900 tons year, so that this mountain
alone could furnish France with enough
salt to last for 700 years.
The mountain is on private land, and
only worked to limited extent
