Explorers have depended two or three
methods Of estimating the height of mountains.
The favorite resource is the barometer, which
shows the pressure of the air. and whose read

this Instrument is not infallible. In the first

are constant fluctuations in pressure, owing 10

more, and he Immediately decided to set
the boy down for the balance of the season.
Trainer Mat Allen afterward told me that
neither he nor Mr.. Clark had the slightest
idea that Maher didn't try to get away
from the post. 1t was his treatment of the
horse that they had charged up against
him.
Danny Maher is such a mild-mannered
little fellow that one would scarcely sus-
pect him of having temper of his own;
but he has. or did have in his early youth.
although he has learned to govern it in the
last few years.
Losing my temper is the one thing that
mars my work" Maher once said to me.
Nobody need tell that, because / know
it we'll enough. But it's hard thing to
break ones self of such habit.

the handle 1 can see the hopes of victory
fading when animal gets skittish. Those
are the occasions when Danny Maher gets
bad tempered. Those are the occasions
when he gets red in the face and uses the
whip.
''But really. every one of those whip cuts

things over. I feel it when the horse goes
to the stall and have time to reflect"
For the benefit of those who aspire to be
Jockeys, I may add that Danny Maher
doesn't smoke. chew or drink. nor does he
indulge In profanity. 1t Is easy to under
stand why he is SO popular in England He
Is modest in demeanor intelligent and tact

Why We Shake Hands,

From Harper's Weekly.
The Prussian officer who held it his duty
to kill mere soldier who offered to shake
hands with him had. from the official Prus-
sian point of view, a complete case Hand
shaking implies a certain degree of equality
and it is not possible for a Prussian officer
to imagine any equal except another Prus-
sian officer. Clearly, any act suggesting
such a thing could not be expiated by any
punishment short of the immediate death
of the offender.
The custom of handshaking dates back
to prehistoric times, a relic of those savage
days when strangers could not meet with
out suspicion of murderous purpose. Then
all men went abroad with weapons and
shields, and when they met would stand
in pleasant converse, each with his shield
upon his left arm and with right hands
clasped, so that there would be no chance
for a sudden swing of the knife or bludeeon
The right hand was invariably used for the
weapon, with the result that We are right
handed race. The reason for this lay I'M
doubtedly in the fact that the left arm was
always employed in the important work of
shielding the heart. Among the common
people of the Aryan race the old pledge of
amity in yielding the right hand to be
grasped and held has since remained the
chief token of open friendship. In the Had
returning chiefs were greeted with ex-
tended hands, Even at that remote day
the early significance Of the handclasp had
been lost In the nobler meaning Of civilized
life But 1t remains salutation in which
q greater or less degree of equality is
claimed or conceded. 1t Is, therefore, pos
sible for a humble person to shake hands
with the President of the United States.
but not with an officer of the Prussian
army.

toes, feet and legs. This statement has
been brought back from the gold-seekers'
country by Henry J. Dieter, who was one
of the first to enter Alaska. The gold
seekers have paid a high price for the
metal they have secured, he says. They
have been so frozen and frostbitten that
their heads and trunks are about the only
portions of their bodies which have not
been injured.
This prospector is Of the opinion that
there is hardly one entirely able-bodied
man in the entire far northern country.
After hearing of his own experience one
does not wonder that the country Is filled
with cripples The disasters of the winter
of 1900 killed all his companions who were
located with him north of Teller City;
Many were lost in the billiards., some died
of hunger and many others succumbed to
the severity of the cold
During these days Dieter recorded the
temperature readings. The average is 40
degrees below zero. He devised a unique
method of determining the extreme tenn
perature Mercury froze at 30 below zero,
at 60 degrees below his can of kero-
sene would burst, at ~ degrees below his
bottle of pain killer, which every Alaskan
prospector cherishes, would go pop, and
when the whisky turned solid he knew
that the Temperature had reached the limit
of termination, that 1t was so degrees De-
low Zero
Dieter tells one pitiful story of the kill
ing of one of his companions and the In
turing of another The two set out on
a three-quarter mile journey across the
ice They had scarcely started when
blizzard swooped down on them. They
lost their way, being unable to see foot
ahead of themselves. For five weeks they
wandered about in the ice and snow. At
night they buried themselves In the snow
for protection They ate the roots and
buds of reindeer moss. At last they fell
faint from hunger and exposure. The older
of the two men died. The younger lost
his reason. The dead body and the crazy
man were found by a relief expedition, but
the survivor never has regained his senses.

Reasons for Additional Regulations.

For such reasons and others, it is de-
clared, the auto vehicles in and about their
use require additional regulations than
those now existing. The Commissioners
further explain to the court in their answer
that in their administrative capacity as
governmental agents they have lately, in
the exercise of lawful discretion vested
in them by act of Congress, Investigated
the use and abuse of automobiles in the
public highways and streets, and after
careful consideration and full hearing have
exercised the discretion solely in the public
interest by the PRONUNCIATION of the police
regulations mentioned.
The Commissioners point out in their
answer that the same regula tons in effect
and others of a more drastic character have
been used and promulgated and found by
experience to be necessary respecting auto
mobiles in other parts of the United States,
and they attach and make part of their
answer various regulations and laws re-
speeding the same which have been pro-
mulgated and passed in New York, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, Missouri and other
states.
