BY JOE CHISHOLM.

For the quartette of Bisbee who shook hands with Teddy, ,rubbered into the Grand Canyon and bought bushels of cigars en route from the peanut butcher" the thousand-miles' round trip is an event never to be forgotten. We got our necks stiff looking at the three-story sky-scrapers. in Phoenix, pulled feathers from the tails of 300- pound ostriches, posed vaingloriously as the proud sponsor of the bear that Roosevelt was to receive-and, last, but not least, looked at the awful chasm that seems unearthly in its terrible, boding immensity.
 The trip went along according to program without a hitch from start to finish. Nobody. barring the dis gruntled newspaper men, have any complaint to make. The latter, how ever, are possessed of a large "rouch". The Review correspondent could get only half his story through to his paper, and others, no doubt, were equally unfortunate. One over worked telegraph operator could not be expected to handle the intermina- ble pages of manuscript submitted. at the Grand Canyon. If the man in question had not been a "cracker- jack" the more remote newspapers would probably have failed to re ceive even an outline of the days more important features.
 For all of Teddy's open, impulsiye nature and pleasant manners, he is a hard man to induce to talk. When Governor Brodie, George Wilcox and Tom Rynning introduced me to the ruler of earth's mightiest nation, thought it would prove a snap to get him to talk about statehood and other subjects interesting to Review readers Of course, it is not customary for a President to allow himself to be inter viewed-private secretaries are taken along for that purpose; but Roosevelt seemed so careless of conventionali- ties, that went after him with all the self-confdence of a lowly tumble-bug endeavoring to upset two-story barn

OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

At the first question Teddy baked, and, raising his hand in mock fright, backed away. I persisted in my foolish attempt to extract blood from a turnip. l continued to hold his hand, which l had grasped upon being in troduced. and as the Presidents other hand was filled with photographs of the Bisbee bear, l felt in no immedi- ate danger of being punched, anyway. Although he laughed pleasantly as he refused to be questioned, I saw he meant it. and proceeded to change my tactics.
 Assuming a doleful look and mourn ful whine l sang him a song of how bitterly disappointed were the folks of the border because of his inability to visit them and pleaded with him in ac cents of woe for at least brief mes sage to the folks down near Mexico Governor Brodie grinned at me mean ingly over Roosevelt's shoulder, Will COX gave me a secret nudge of encour agement and Captain Rynning came to my aid with few words about the , size and importance of Bisbee. The President seemed to hesitate, and said to myself, Here comes a SCOOP for the Review" But it did not ar rive. My dear sir" exclaimed Ted dy, If sent a special message through you the newspaper men would make my life burden from now OF until this trip is finished. Positively cannot do it However, shall send message in my speech" But he probably forgot it. for in the speech that followed he said no word that could be construed into message tc the people along the line.
 With exception of President Roose welt, the most notable person at the Grand Canyon was Charles F. Lummis the famous student and writer of the Southland's wonders. His unequalet knowledge of Arizona, New Mexico and Old Mexico's natural wonders, and prehistoric races, allied with the fine drawn nervous style of English he em ploys, have made him famous wherever the English language is spoken.

DILLAHA BUYS
 TWO CUB BEARS
WERE CAPTURED BY MEXICAN
 HUNTERS BELOW cANANEA.

New Owner Wl, Keep Them to Pre-
 sent to Next Democratic President
 Who Passes Through This Territory.
 Charles Dillaha yesterday purchased two cub bears about two months old for S25. They were exhibited on the streets, and attracted a great deal of attention during the afternoon.
 The cubs were brought to the city by Mexicans, who captured them in Mexico. DiIlaha has taken his charges to the Bisbee Mercantile com pany's store, where he is employ ed, and will have them on exhibition for several days.
 T am going to keep these bears un- til after the next presidential election" says Dillaha, "and present them to the democratic President when he makes his trip through Arizona"
 There is quite a story behind the capture of these two bears. They were caught below Cananea by two Mexican hunters after a hard fight, that resulted in the killing of their mother.
 The Mexicans first caught sight of the cubs in some underbrush, and were about to take charge of them when the mother made her appearance, and was right at their back before they no ticed her. Then fight took place.
 The Mexicans fired two rife shots into the bears body. but she continued to come for them. They were on the point of making run for the nearest tree, when the bear fell over, with a third shot in her heart.
 Fearing that other bears might have been attracted by the racket. the hunt CTS gathered the cubs in their arms and got out of the woods as fast as they could
 The next day they returned to where the mother had been killed. and found that the body had been almost entirely devoured by wolves. There were the tracks of several other bears, that must have come to the dead body shortly after the hunters got away.
 One of the Mexicans stated yester- day that the country below Cananea is filled with wild game of all kinds. Besides bear. there are deer, lions, wolves and other animals

came to Grand Canyon to see the Pres ident by request. and left for Los An geles on the presidential train. NJ. Lummis expressed his desire to see the great copper camp and sent a word of kindly greeting to the Review and its readers.
 The Cleveland Grays, an historic military organization, visiting the ''ti- tan of chasms" on their tour of the United States served to lend variety to the scene, presenting fine picture in their natty blue gray uniforms and ornamental medals. The original Cleveland Grays escorted General William Henry Harrison from Fort Meigs to Washington in 1s40. Of that original escort only one member remains, Lieutenant Tibbets. a hale and pleasant gentleman whose burden of years has not changed his soldiersy carriage He has been a member of the Grays for almost fifty years
 Wonders, artiici alor natural, are never equal to expectations; but the Grand Canyon as viewed from the head of Bright Angel Trail, is an ex- ception The canyon is not ap- preached by a mountain range. After travelling sixty-five miles across the flat country north from Williams yon walk from the train to the hotel. turn the corner of the house, and then start back affrighted. Beneath your feet yawns a chasm with no bottom. The opposite rim 13 miles away. Beneath your feet you see the vari-coiored peaks of crags higher than the Rock ies. Apparently half mile dista3t you see line like a pencil mark. pos sibly a shadow. Query of one who | knows elicits the information that il { is five miles away and that it is a chasm hundreds of feet across and deep in proportion. It all seems so unreal so utterly beyond human stand ards of measurement, that you trem- ble and become dizzy as you try impo- tently to grasp it's awful significance
 Lummis says he has seen hardened travellers cry as they looked into iis fearsome depths and believe him.

Clifford G. Childers of Colorado Springs, Colo, has sent to St. Louis an Ingenious machine which he calls a meat tenderer and seasoner.
 To make long story short, says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Mir. Childers has invented a machine to take the leather out of beefsteak. It is some what like sausage machine, but in- stead of chewing the meat into small bits it merely pierces it and picks it so full of small holes that with a few turns of the crank the toughest steak becomes tender.
 Sancho Panza desired to build mon ument to tue man who invented sleep. How much better is the benefaction of Mir Childers! To be sure, sleepless- ness now and then brings down some member of the human family, but think of the serried ranks of that vast host of brave men, women and children who have gone up against the tough beefsteak and fallen before its stout blows,
 A Ship That Skates.
 A Vienna dispatch to the London Ex- press says: An Austrian engineer of note, Herr Wetkovic, has invented a new type of ship which he claims will be capable of travelling at lightning speed. Herr Wetkovic declares that when perfected 1t will enable a jour ney around the world to be made in a week The ship does not displace wa ter, but glides over the surface like skate over ice. Ingenious contrivances are constructed to minimize friction and air pressure.
 NOnexpIosive CeIluloid.
 The latest invention-and it should gladden. the hearts of all sects, with the possible exception of fire worshipers- is the nonexplosive celluloid collar. This improvement of the wiltless, soap defying collar has been brought about by substituting hydrochlorate of tur- pentine for camphor.
 Boon to Librarians.
 A patent will it is expected, soon be issued to J. F. Langton. assistant li- brarian of the St. Louis Public library. for a very ingenious device for dusting the books of large libraries. The ma chine cleanses books by wholesale and is the result of years of thought and effort. shared by every custodian of large numbers of books in the country. Whole shelves of books are cleaned in q few minutes by MT. Langton's ma chine where formerly hours. days and weeks were consumed in doing tue same work.

PROPELLED BY HER PUMPS.
Boat Driven Through the Water by
Jets of Water.

A novelty in the construction Of ma
rine craft is shown in a recent patent
grant covering the design Of a boat
propelled and steered by Jets OF water.
Instead OF engines to drive screws and
propellers, pumps are employed, and
the boat driven by the action Of jets
of water taken in at the bow and
elected at the stern.
These pumps are suitably located
within the hold of the vessel, and each
is provided with an intake-tube, which
runs forwardly to point near the bow
of the vesscel, where there are suit
able openings through which the pipes
may receive water the said openings,
Of course, being arranged below the
water line. The inlet-ports at the ends
Of these pipes are controlled by valves
operated from some convenient point.
Extending from each of the pumps
is a tube which is curved so as to find
an opening at the side Of the vessel
near the forward part thereof, the out
let portion of the tube being directed
forwardly. as shown by an arrow. Thus
water which is forced through the tuDe
will be so directed as 10 propel the
boat rearwardly, as in backing. An.
other pipe also extends rearwardly
from each pump, and this pipe is pre-
ferably divided into two branches. One
branch extends outwardly through the
side of the vessel at point near the
bow, while the other extends rearward
ly in the vessel a considerable dis.
tance, finding an outlet near the stern
Of the boat, and jets issuing from
there will propel the boat forward.
Other openings at the side and stern
have the effect of changing the course
OF the craft. In experiments WITH a
boat of this character 1t was demon
strated that she could be turned in her
own length, which is an achievement
of some importance.

the trick referred to in the Scriptures
of changing a snake into rod is still
practiced by the snake charmers. They
touch the snake at a certain place in

condition by taking its tail between
