2 DESERTS OF AMERICA

The desert still maintains its fast
nesses in the West. There are some
spots better entitled to the name than
others, but each year these Businesses
are shrinking before the advance OF
human enterprise, as the water might
rise over the land, leaving the high
and difficult places to the last. So
these islands are scattered through
several states and territories, mostly
in Arizona, New Mexico, California,
Nevada, Utah and Oregon, in the
great valley lying between the main
ridge of the Rocky mountains. on the
east and the Cascades, Sierra Nevada
and the coast range on the west. Chief
among them are the Mohave desert
in southeastern California, territory
as large as Switzerland; the Colorado
and Gila deserts of southwestern Ari-
iona and Southern California;; the
marvellous Painted desert of north
eastern Arizona, and the Great Salt
Lake desert of Utah. Opening north
ward from the Mohave desert lies
Death Valley. perhaps the most desc
late and forbidding spot in America,
though comparatively small in extent.

Recent disturbances by volcanic
eruption in the island of Martinique
and Guatemala bring out in full meas
ure the sympathy of the residents OF
the cyclone district of t.e Southwest.
The cyclone is by far the worst form
of disaster that visits this country,
coming at unexpected times and deal
ing death and destruction in wide
spread manner.
When the summer days bring waves
of heat across the stretches Of hot
sod. then the residents of the prairie
West begin to cast their eyes to the
windward. They are watching the
formation of the clouds, and he who
could not distinguish a cyclone bank
from any other is indeed tenderfoot.
Then the cry of warning is carried
across the plains, and the members
of every family makes for their cy-
clone cellars. These cellars differ in
various communities. The popular
cyclone cellar on the plains of West
ern Kansas. where cyclones few
years ago were almost daily occur
renee, are ordinarily sod houses, built
low and strong.
In the Russian communities of Kan
sas these cyclone houses serve as the
family residence the year around.

low who owned an auto; and the jay
birds chartered and rustic cows bawled
hoarse hooraws to their fresh-sealed
vows.
And on they sped of their sense bereft,
So tightly did Cupid bind EN-,
That ere they knew it the town was left
Some seventeen miles behind EN-.
Then the clouds came up and the
rain came down and sprinkled its
tears on her new spring gown. then
changed from driZzle to falling flood.
and the road was a channel of slush
and mud, and the auto stopped in re-
bellious mood-like a balky mule in
the roadway stood. And there they
sat in that worst of storms with no
umbrella to shield their forms. and
they got as soaked on their auto perch
as a new convert in the Baptist
church, and their love was chilled by
the rainy slush till it grew impassive
as cold fried mush Twas full two
miles to a railway town. and with
scowling features he helped her down
and off they trudged through the
muddy lane in the pitiless pour of the
blawsted rain, her eyes all chafed with
the tears she shed. his lips calcined
with the things he said, and they
learned at the station with souls
aghast that the last dummed train for
the day had passed.
And his rivals chartered with merry lip,
And approached her with new en-
deavor,

it. Before Oklahoma was thoroughly

THE GREAT SEAL.

OF vulgarity astonishing enough in the
representative Of the most ancient
royal house in Europe. His widely
opened eyes were almost fierce in
their expression and his manners were
brusque almost to rudeness. He cared
nothing for letters. nothing for art;
music bored him: and he used to say
with laugh that he had rather any
day look at sewing machine than at
the finest work of Renvenuto Cellini.
His son has the clear-cut features of
his aristocratic house, with soft, al
most dreamy look in the beautiful
eyes beled by the strong lines of lips
and chin. He is short of stature and
slender of build. but there is no hint
Of weakness either of body or mind
about him.

the panic that ensued there is an in
cident that stands out in my memory,
illustrating the slender thread be

We had q fellow on board who had
managed to keep pretty well loaded
all the way across and when we struck
the rocks he was in his usual condi
tion. When everybody thought foI
sure we were going to the bottom, he
sat down at the piano in the saloon
and what do you suppose he began
playing? Home, Sweet Home Some
body went to him and begged him tc
stop. Immediately he switched of

song to the rollicking melody of Down

once, and general laugh followed
The tension was relieved, and there
was good order after that. ."-Phila

The seal or coat of arms of the
United States was adopted by the
continental congress June 20, 1882.
There was long discussion over the
design. and many Of the eminent
statesmen of the day presented their
ideas of what should figure upon the
seal Finally CDR. Franklin, Mr.. John
Adams and Mr.. Thomas Jefferson"
were appointed committee to pre-
pare a device for a great seal for the
United States of America"
So many designs of merit were sub
mitted that the committee authorized
Jefferson to combine the various ideas
IN one design. which he tried to do,
and on August 10. 1776, presented this
compact seal to the congress.
Congress laid it on the table, and it
is there yet. May II, l777. the COM
mittee reported another design, which
looked like a cracked Chinese plate
on one side and the body of the scrub
brush on the other. This is also on

years ago. For three years longer

States to get along without seal.
