Mountain Making.
From Scienc,


Lord Avebury read a paper at the meet
ing of the Geological Society. London, on
the formation of the mountains. Accord
ing to the report in the London Times
he said that experiments had been made
long ago by Sir j. Hail. and afterward by
Daubree Ruskin, Cadell and others, by
arranging layers of cloth, clay, cement
etc, and studying the folds and fractures
which resulted when they We're compressed.
In all these experiments. however. the pres
sure was in one direction only, whereas it
was obvious that If mountains were due
al any rate in part to the contraction of
the earth. in nature the contraction and
consequent pressure took place from all
sides.
Lord Avebury said that he, therefore,
provided himself with a square case com
pressble on all four sides at once. In
sand cloth, etc. and compressed them,
thus throwing them into folds. He then
took in each experiment four casts in
plaster of paris beginning from the top.
and these casts We're exhibited to the So
ciety They presented an inte' .sting an
alogy of the actual mountain district.
though of course, they did not show the
results of subsequent denudation due to
rain and rivers. 1t had long been observed
that mountainous districts showed two sets
of lines at right angles to one another.
ANY one who would glance at Il map of
Scotland would see this clearly. One set
was represented by the Great Glen. with
the lochs and valleys parallel to it. such as
many others: the second series at right
angles to 1t by Loeb Shin, Loeb Moree. the
Sound of Null, etc. This characteristic
OF mountain regions has long been known,
whether the folds were simultaneous or
successive. Lord Avebury's casts showed
this feature very clearly. and 1t was evil
dent that the cross foldings took place
simultaneously

NURTURED BY SHE WOLF.
Mountain Baby Fit Successor to Romu-
lus and Remus.

Red Ledge Letter to the st. Paul Pioneer-Press.
From Ewing. thirty miles from here.
comes a story so strange and startling
that it has attracted much attention. and
that steps have been taken to either prove
or disprove it, for if 1t is true new fact
in natural history has been established and
the much -maligned wolf will take a higher
place in the estimation of the human race.
Several weeks ago. according to reports
that have reached here. an infant daugh-
ter Of William Dunphy, a prospector, who
lived in the hills overlooking Ewing with
his wife. was carried off one afternoon by
a wild animal.
Search was made for the little one. but
no trace of 1t could be found. and the bab
was finally given up for dead Ever since
then the father has spent his time In the
hills seeking the bears and the wolves,
which are numerous I'm the mountains. and
slaughtering them wherever found, while
the mother has sat and wept and pined
away over the fate Of her child.
While Dunphy was hunting in the noun
tains yesterday he came on a wolf den,
which showed signs of being occupied He
waited for a long time. and then, as no
wolf came forth he decided to enter the
den and see for himself what was in it.
AS ne entered the place he heard the cry
almost turned his hair white. Lying on q
bed OF grass at the end of the den was a
big mother wolf. with several pups playing
beside her. while close to her side was his
lost baby, trying to get a dinner from the
mother wolf. which seemed to enjoy the
tugginR.
The wolf simply growled. but made no
attempt to escape or to make an attack
when the man approached. She was at
tached to the child. apparently, and had
been nursing 1t. At least that Is the sup
position. as the little one was we'll nourish-
ed and was without a scratch.
Two men who have come from Ewing to-
day have told the same story. Both men
hitherto had excellent regulations.

CRAZE FOR COTTON.
May Displace Sugar as King in Porto
Rico in a Few Years.
al Corresponiencc Of The Eyening Star.

Special correspondence OF The Evening Star.
SAN JUAN p. R. July 2. rane
The cotton craze is fairly on in Porto
Rico and not only restoration of cotton
growing to its former Importance may be
expected. but cotton may displace sugar
king within a few years. Everyone is
talking cotton and the gospel of planting
1t is being preached to all who hold or who
are likely to obtain patch of ground little
or big. The boom has been given a fur
ther impetus within a few days by the ar
rival of five cotton gins from New York
for local corporation. The gins were
brought by the president Of the company.
who has been in the United States during
the last few months making all the trans
actions for carrying out the enterprise. and
also securing a market for the cotton
grown here. He says:
From all the reports that I have from
the cotton growers in the island there is 4
bright future for the cotton industry in
Porto Rico Thus far there are about II oG1
acres of cotton planted being distributed
through the Arecibo Humacao Aguadilla
and Bayamon districts. The first crop VIII
be ready in about two months. when II Will
all be shipped to this city for cleaning and
States.
The work of constructing the plant to
contain the gtnneries will begin at once 1t
will occupy an area of about two acres
and it's estimated cost will be about Sn,oO.
1t will be situated in the Marina in San
Juan.
THE demand for cotton is unprecedented
and the prices paid are very high, making
a lucrative enterprise for all planters.
F. M. Pennock of the Insular Normal
School gardens who has been making
many experiments and who expects his
next crop to exceed leo pounds to the
acre of seed and fiber says:
''Of the ultimate success of this crop in
Porto Rico L have no doubt. but We can
only by repeated experiments master the
details of when to plant, etc. We may be
sure however, that success will come from
a careful study of the methods employed
where this crop Is now profitably grown
and by adapting these to the different eli
matte conditions of Porto Rico. Cultural
details must be mastered to keep up the
quality of the fiber and reduce the cost of
production. believe cotton is destined to
play an important part In the exports OF
this island within a few years.
Cotton formerly ranked seventh in the
list of products of the island. the highest
expectation being 10000 bales in 1897. 1t
then declined, then rose to 1900 bales in
1865 because of the civil war in the United
States and then again fell to practically
nothing.

Bravery.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat
bravery is difficult to analyZe,' said a
speculative gentleman yesterday. Il know
of some men who are brave under certain
circumstances and cowardly under others.
To me- the bravest man is he who is nat
urally timorous and who overcomes his
nerves by the force of his will. There are
in history numerous instances of great war
riors who have had to dominate natural
tfmfdity in the face of danger. Lookout for
the man who has will enough to do this.
He will become more daring and energetic
than men who are naturally gifted with
calm nerves and a seeming insensibllity to
the sensation Of fear. Peter the Great and
Frederick the Great turned tail and ran
when they first went upon the field of bat
tie but they returned to the charge and
eventually became absolutely callous to the
thought of danger. Ordinarily the idea of
the turbulent Peter is that he was a man
who never felt fear. In fact, even today,
there is a controversy among his biograph-
ers as to his courage. There is no doubt,
however, that when the soldiers of his sis
ter Sophia marched upon his camp he lost
control of himself absolutely. fled in his
nightclothes to place of safety, was in
such condition that he was unable to
give any commands to his officers and
eventually sought refuge in a convent. Yet
this was the man who afterward astonished
all Europe by his military intrepidity and
by acts of personal courage. One biog-
rapher analyses Peters character in this
fashion: Peter had passed through a terri
BILE experience in his boyhood. and was, in
addition. constitutionally timid. Accord
ing to the biographer, he showed this by
his lack of calmness and by the unneces-
sary acts Of violence of which he was
guilty at times A constitutionally brave
man is calm, being rather inclined to gen.
tleness until the occasion calls for vio-
lence But as Peter developed his indom-
liable will gained control over all: the weak
impulses of his nature and he was then
able to face any danger without fiinching."

WIG FOR THE BATHING GIRL.
Enables Her to Go Under the Surf ant
Keep Her Hair Dry.

from tHe tnlIauelpnla fTess.
The summer girl is battling with an i'm
portant query: Shall she wear wig for
surf bathing The creature who INDUCES
only in sand baths will not succumb to the
charms Of the ringlet wig. If she pulls a
soft tuft OF hair from under the cap on her
forehead and another on the nape of her
neck she easily remains a French doll all
morning. to the great delight of the cream
tlanneled silk -shirted chappies.
But the genuine summer girl has a strong
love for the old ocean, and will not sacri-
fee the exhilaration of glorious salty
plunge for vanitys sake. The wearing of
a wig, however, kills two birds with one
stone. When an acknowledged beauty
emerges from her salty bath with dripping
tresses she is usually transformed into
most commonplace-lo looking creature. bear
ing but slight resemblance to herself on
promenade Her hair clings tightly to her
head, and 1T requires two hours of diligent
work before her appearance is up to the
standard.
Besides the loss of good looks salt water
plays havoc with the scalp, causing the
hair to fall out and become quite coarse
The brilliant luster of mlady's locks soon
disappears. and a clouded, rather faded
look takes its place. After sea bath the
tresses and the scalp should be thoroughly
rinSed with clear water. removing any
salty substance and drying them care
fully, moisture is most harmful These
facts must be accepted seriously, as every
woman who INDUCES in surf bathing has
experienced the same trouble When we
drift back to town in the autumn there is
the same old story of scalp treatment for
Scant and Sickly locks. Previously the
nearest approach a summer girl could get
to showing the hair about her face was the
fringe she vanly sewed on the edge of her
bathing cap. Women who have naturally
straight hair resort to this same trick on
ocean voyages. when fog and dampness are
the usual beauty foes
When putting on a cap wig the hair
is drawn tightly from the temples and off
the nape of the neck into fiat knot on the
top of the head The skull cap of oiled silk
fits snugly to the scalp and neatly lines the
wig so that ones locks are amply pro
tected from the ravages of a briny bath.
This little accessory, which so admirably
serves it's purpose is sold in all colors to
match the bathers own hair. They are
of brown and auburn. in varying tones,
from the paleSt to the deepest shade. Black
wigs of course are included, but are not
attractive as those of brown with golden
glints. Wigs assume all sizes and shapes.
They are Cleverly Weaved, and some of the
more coquettiSh have ringlets on the edge.
lust as damp weather affects naturally
curly hair Some are short, curling tightly
around the head, others float away from
the temples and come to, or "A short dis
tance below the shoulders. The hair is
warranted to withstand the stress of water
and weather perfectly. Women who have
ONLY Waded for fear of getting their top
knots wet may now venture beyond the life
line returning with heads of hair shining
bravely The little wig is the secret.

Queen Helena a Cook.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago NeWs.
Queen Helena of Italy is royal lady who
has very practical knowledge of cooking
At her fathers curiously homely and un-
pretentious court Queen Helena learned
many useful things. and among them the
art of cooking. The Prince of Montenegro
insisted that all his children should learn
a trade-a rule which. by the way, obtains
in the German imperial family-and the
future Queen of Italy became not merely a
good plain cook. but also skilled in the
preparation of the curious sweetmeats and
patisserie of which orientals are so fond.
The late King Humbert insisted on tasting
his daughter-in-laws cookery, and SO
pleased was he with the dainty fare she set
before him that he conferred on her, with
mock ceremony. the title of Lady High
Cook to the King of Italy"
