Grand Bridges in Utah

r Across q can on measuring 335 feet
Z inches from wall to&wall nature has
thrown a splerdid arch Of solid sand
stone, sixty feet thick in the central
part and forty feet wide, leaving I'M
derneath it clear opening 357 feet in
perpendicular height. The lateral walls
of the arch rise perpendicularly near
ly to the top of the bridge, when they
flare suddenly outward, giving the eff
feet Of an immense coping or cornice
overhanging the main structure fifteen
or twenty feet on each side, and ex-
tending with the greatest regularity
and symmetry the whole length Of the
bridge. A large rounded butte at the
edge of the canyon wall seems partly
to obstruct the approach to the bridge
atone end.
Here again the curving walls of the
canyon and the impossibility of bring
ing the whole of the great structure
INTO the narrow field of the camera,
except from distant points of view,
render the photographs unsatisfactory.
But the lightness and grace of the
arch is brought out by the partial view
which was obtained by climbing far
up. the canyon wall at some risk.

The majestic proportions of this
bridge, however, may be partly real
lied by a few comparisons. Thus, it's
height is more than twice and it's
span more than three times as great
as those of the famous natural bridge
of Virginia. It's buttresses are 118 feet
further apart than those-of the cele-
brated masonry arch in the District
OF Columbia, known as Cabin John
bridge, few miles from Washington
city, which has the greatest span of
any masonry bridge on this continent.
This bridge would overspan the CAPT.
tol at Washington and clear the top
of the dome fifty-one feet And if the
]oftiest tree in the Calaveras grove of
giant sequola in California stood in
the bottom of the canyon it's topmost
bough would lack thirty-two feet of
reaching the under side of the arch.
This bridge is of white or very light
sandstone, and, as in the case of the
Caroline, tilaments Of green and Or
ange-tinted lichens run here and there
over the mighty buttresses and along
the sheltered crevices under the lofty
cornice, giving warmth and color to
the wonderful picture.-Century Maya

Old Forts in Ireland

Off the coast Of Ireland, north, west
and south, lies island behind island.
Few know them and still fewer real
ize the wealth of antiquarian remains
which have lain hidden there for more
than a thousand years. First in in
terest, as in age, come the defensive
works Of uncertain date, beginning
in the fourth century, B. c., OF these
the promontory forts are the simplest
m construction, being defended, often
on three sides, by the high cliffs
toward the sea, necessitating only a
single line Of defense on the landward
side. They belong to an age of CYCLIC
pean masonry, when the stones were
piled together, one above the other,
mortarless, but with a power of re-
sistance which yields only to the hand
Of man. Some of the forts are con-
structed in the well-known "ring-wall''
type, to be found throughout the Brit
ish isles, central Europe and in Mas
hcnaland.
At Fahan, near Bentry, the fort was
obviously residential, instead of be-

what apparently was his first lesson
in astronomy, telling him how Jupiter
was 1900 times as large as the earth
and how Mars showed changes of sea-
sons-how it had bays and canals and
so forth, and was supposed to be in
habited.
1.-The next evening l returned to the
village where I had hired the hack
and l noticed that sundry persons
seemed to have a certain humorous in
terest in me. 1t was so evident that
was the object of some curiosity or
joke that made inquiries and finally
found a man who could tell me.

there must be an open sea, else she
would have been beached elsewhere,
and the other that the current must
practically be. continuous in given
direction, that is, from Siberia toward
Greenland.
There have been hundreds of thou
sands of dollars spent on these dashes
for the pole and a big sum is asked
for this unique scheme. Andree tried
to reach the pole in balloon and has
never been heard of. Nansen con-
structed an ice breaker and tried to
butt in. Peary lett his ship and with
sleds and dogs tried to reach the
coveted spot. All to no purpose, but
all acting as a spur for others to
make the attempt. No one has ever
thought of the idea, or, probably a
fairer way of putting it, has ever pub
licly presented the idea of conquering
ice by ice. It will be trip crowded
with perils, for it is the purpose to
force the ship into the ice with all the
attending dangers of having the YES
sci crushed and being left to freeze
to death. There. is one precautlOn
taken to guard against this mishap in
that two ships are to enter the pack
together, and, while at long dis
lance apart, to be held in communica-
ton one with the other by wireless
telegraphy. The explorers expect that
it will take from three to five years
to drift across the pole-years of ex-
IRENE hardship, with all the attendant
suffering that the most intense cold
can impose, such a cold that no one
except men who have made voyages
to the north can understand, being al
most beyond human endurance.
1t is of unusual interest at this time
also because Commander Peary, the
American, is about to undertake an.
other trip to the north. Will the

Immense cavities are found in the

many generations of bears have hiber-

is evident from the fact that the body
of the tree is slightly inclined from a

limbs by the claws of many bears as

In the Haunted House

The oriel panes between the oaks
Shine out with sandle-light,
And strains of ghostly music blend
With breezes of the night.
For then troop of shadowy danes
Before his portrait dim
Tread all the reels and minuets
They used to dance with him;
The broidered muslin of their gowns
Is sweet with faint perfume
Of rose-leaves gathered in the dew
In gardens full Of bloom.
He leaves-'tis thus the legend goes
The furnished frame once more
To softly sigh the broken vows
So lightly made of yore;
He bags a rose, and steals a kiss,
And breathes a promise low
AS when he loved and rode away
In summers long ago.
Leave undisturbed the empty house
To silence and to dreams,
Wrapped in the gloom of ancient bougha
Beneath the pale moonbeams.

But yelled in ivy, darkly green,

A haunted house, they say.

First reared it's stately walls,
And filled with guests and gaiety
Its wide and lofty halls.
Above the ballroom mantle still
His portrait hangs; but Time
Has blurred it with smoky hand
And hidden it with CRIME,
So nothing of his olden grace
Nor handsome face is there
But patches of his scarlet coat
And CLEANS of powdered hair.
Deep is the dust upon the floors,
The rust on lock and hinge;
Where shreds Of tattered curtains wave
The moths have made fringe;
The spiders year by year have toiled,
And every vacant space
Of ceiling, wall or window-ledge
Is draped with filmy lace.

goal first? Will both fail? Will they
ever come back?
Such questions may be fairly put
when an Arctic explorer starts on his
voyage to the regions of the midnight
sun.
The Bernard expedition will have a.
rival in the field in the shape of the
German south polar ship Gauss,
which has been refitted for a Canadian
expedition, and the Peary expedition.
Both these expeditions are more on
the lines of former parties and rely
on the superiority of their outfits and
good luck for their success.
Part of M. Benard's speech, trans
| lated is as follows:
| Inc only means of crossing the
great polar basin consists in making
| again the voyage of the Fran of Nan
sen, but a little more to the north
and to take, as Nansen said, a ticket
OF Ice in the big train of ice. In
| TACT, IL IS necessary to remember that
the hrst idea OF the crossing of the
J great arctic current originated in the
discovery OF driftwood and Siberian
mud on the eastern and southern
coasts of Greenland, and also in the
sighting at Cape Farewell of the
| wreck of the Jeanette, which was
| abandoned by her crew to the north
! of Bennett Island.
80 it is necessary in that case to
start from a Norwegian port, from
soc or Vardoe, to cross the southern
part OF the Barren Sea, to touch at
| karabova to take on board an equip
ment OF Eskimo dogs, and to steam
up between the concrete ice and the
land, up the Yalmal Peninsula, calling
at Fort Dickson to coal from a shin
! that should be specially chartered to
cruise at the end of the summer along
the coast of the Taimyr peninsula,
reaching in autumn the Island of New
Siberia, and rush for a point situated
on the l5Sth degree of longitude east,
regardless OF cost, and even at the
price OF wintering in one of the Lliak-
off Islands. When at that point the
F., ships OF an expedition have but to let
themselves drift with the concrete
ice, and if they follow route sensi-
bly, parallel to that of the Fran. they
will cross the Arctic maritime basin
on lines quite different from those of
that ship, and will incontestably cross
IN the very immediate neighborhood
of the North pole, following, in fact,
the route which the wreck of the
Jeanette has most probably taken.''

The very latest suggestion as a
means of reaching the North pole is
to use the very barrier that has hith-
erto blocked the way of ambitious nav
igators.
The suggestion is the Drainwork
of Frenchman, founded on the adj
vice of DR.. Nansen, the famous Nor.
wegian explorer. "Take ticket of ice
in the big train of ice" and drift. 1t
is not chance where luck may de-
eide, but is based on a knowledge of
Arctic Ocean currents that are known
to cross the pole from the coast Of
Siberia to finally wash the shores of
Greenland.
NJ. Charles Bernard, French naval
officer, has attracted the scientific ear
of the world by this suggestion and
the proofs he offers to sustain his the
cries. \Time and time again daring
men have attempted to force their
ships through the mountainous ice
packs that bar their progress further
north. Not so with Bernard. He would
use the ice. He feels certain that the
drifting will do the rest, for has not
Siberian mud been found on the coast
of Greenland, sustaining his claim
that glaciers from the Russian shore
have crossed the ''open polar sea-"
and been thrown by the oceans cur
rents on the shores of "the big CONT
nent of the north, but little known,
for vast portions. of Greenland are
still an unexplored region.
This is not the only proof of the
course of this Attic drift, for there is
the story of the Inflated Jeanette that
was abandoned by Explorer De Long
Of Bennett Islands, situated north of
the Siberian Northern Coast, and
which, after years in the ice, was
thrown upon the coast of Greenland.
1t is the Jeanette that has been ad-
vanced to prove two things-one, that

Counting in Spain is conducted on
curious principles. The Spanish girl
is almost always attended by young
man who is known as her novio, and
who sQuires her on her walks, al
though the courtship seldom ends in

accompanied by her mother or a maid,
as well as by the novio. So long as
this state of things continues the girl

When the originator of the genuine

gave his secret to his nephew and
heir. Since 1909 only ten persons

in a box trebly locked. The laboratory
in which the oils and essences are

alcohol. and in two weeks the mixture
is chemically complete.

Criticism Of the Tartar.

An opponent of Russia writes to a
foreign newspaper: There were at
least four great Tartar thrones, each
standing on the ruins of other civiliza-
tons. Those four were the thrones of
Moscow, Constantinople, Delhi and
Pekin. At Moscow the Tartar calls
himself Christian, at Constantinople
Mussulman and at Pekin Buddhist:
but his spirit is always the same, and
we know what it is. East and south
and west the Tartar roamed and the
only country that flung him back into
his native barbarism was Japan"
Then he goes on to argue that Rus
STA is itself a yellow peril.
