Lord Kelvin was once being shown
over some big electric works by the
foreman engineer, who was unaware
of the identity of his visitor. The en-
gineer was capable man, and en-
thusiastic about his work, and he
gave long lectures bout everything
to Lord Kelvin, who listened with
great interest. Once or twice the
senior partner, who was of the party,
tried to tell the foreman to whom he
was talking, but Lord Kelvin would
not have it. and remained an attentive
listener till the round of the works
was concluded. Then, when the engi-
neer had finished, he turned to him
quietly and said: And what is cleo

Hardships Apparently Do Not Daunt
Explorer Peary.

Explorer Pesry.
Commander Robert Il. Peary, the
Arctic explorer, related the following
at the reunion of the Washington
alumni of Bowdoin college:
ITO note briefly one of my Arctic
experiences: On the 9th of January,
1899, after a sledge journey in the
very midnight of the great Arctic
night journey over an unknown fro
zen road, of such roughness as you
can scarcely imagine; reduced to
diet Of raw dog, | stumbled into Fort
Conger, the abandoned headquarters
of the Lady Franklin Bay expedition,
with both feet seriously frozen. For
six weeks ! lay there on my back, a
helpless cripple, through the utter
darkness, living principally upon corn
meal and molasses; my companions
trying to inject little warmth into
the deadly cold by burning empty
boxes and barrels, until the faint rays
of returning daylight in the latter part
of February permitted an attempt to-
reach my ship, $50 miles to the south.
Lashed down to a sledge, my feet and
legs wrapped in a musk OK skin, that
journey of $50 miles was made ia
eleven marches of from twelve to
eighteen hours each. humping and
pounding over the broken ice Of the
arctic sea. The mean minimum daily
temperature during that march was
531s degrees below zero. The tenn
perature the day we reached the ship
was 60 degrees below zero. Wash

figure coming nearer and nearer on
the double tracks. Then we would
wave hands to him, shout goodnight
when he approached and passed, and
go home together-the old man and /

He's a good boy" the old man
would say simply.
My heart leaped to thank him, but
some thing held my tongue. Perhaps
it would only have made the old man
brood more deeply over the purpose l
was unconscious of.
One day as he limped over the half
frozen ground l remembered that he
said, 'Ah, my child, it is terrible

l am sure it was a sudden great
blow to my guardian when he heard
the track walker was discharged. He
came to tell us how it happened and
to say good-by. stopping first at the
grain cars on the Y, which he had
never done before. My sweetheart is
young and brave. SO he only laughed.
But l had no heart to go on with my

His foot tracks led off from the lone

tallest cattails was caught a strip of
cotton-such a strip as he used to tie

STRANGE FREAK OF NATURE.
"sheep- Eaters Monument" in Gold
Region Of Idaho.

One OF the most remarkable natural
curiosities on the earth is to be seen
in a rugged and almost inaccessible
part of the newly-opened. but already
famous Thunder Mountain cold region
in Idaho. This strange freak of ma
ture is called "Sheep-eater's moau.
ment." and is said to have derived its
name from a tribe Of Indians formerly
inhabiting the district
The mountain is seventy feet high
and consists of rough shaft. com
posed of boulders and gravel. tapering
slightly upward, and capped by a huge
irregular rock. whose weight is esti-
mated at not less than fifty tons. The
cap rests on slender projections from
the shaft that are gradually being
worn away by the elements, threaten
ing the eventual fall of the great
stone. The monument stands on the
slope of ridge which rises 1000 feet
and descends SOC feet from the site.
1t was undoubtedly formed by erosion.
The surface of the declivity has been
for centuries. and is yet, being washed
away by water. the result of melt
ing SHOWS and rainfalls.
Originally the capstone was sta
toned on the ground but gradually
the soil surrounding 1t was carried
away, narrow vertical section just
under IT being left intact owing prob
ably to some hard cementing sub
stance in the conglomerate and possi-
bly, also to the direction in which the
eroding torrents expended their force
How long time was required to form
the shaft may be only partly realized
when 1t is stated that there are trees
not far away taller than the monu.
ment AS the erosive process con-
tinues, the shaft is likely to increase
in length unless a soft spot should be
reached under the present surface, in
which case the curious formation
might topple over and break into
pieces.-Montreal Herald.

TWO Queer Names,

A correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-Journal gives an interesting
explanation of the origin of two queer
names of places. The mountains of
Kentucky afford many queer names of
streams, peaks, towns and villages,
but perhaps none are more remark
able than Kingdom Come and Why
Not. The first of these is the name OF
4 stream in Leslie county, is taken
from the Lords Prayer, and is the
scene of John Fox, Jrs, recent story,
Little Shepherd Of Kingdom Come :"
The second is the name of small
postoffice in the county, and originates
from the old song why Not To-
night?" 1t is said that an interesting
religious revival was once held in this
locality, at which this song was sung
great deal, and the people became
so carried away with the music that
the place was ever afterward called
Why Not.
