Secret Of Death Gulch.

Death gulch, in the Yellowstone
park, is a narrow. rocky, steep-bot-
toned %ravine, with comparatively level
floors or shelves one above another.
1t was discovered in 1888, when the
bodies Of five bears, elk. many
small mammals and numerous insects
we're found lying on the bottom. Sub
seQuent visitors have also seen many
dead animals in the gulch, and one
counted no less than seven bears. The
place where these victims are found is
q level shelf about 20 feet long. Last
summer DR.. F. W. Traphagen visited
the spot, with apparatus designed to
analyze the air. He found outlets in
the rock at the sides, from which
poured air poisoned with more than
one per cent Of sulphuretted hydrogen
and more than 80 per cent Of carbon

Simple Instrument Affords a World

The season Of swarming life, vegetable
and animal, has come. and q great JOY
fills the heart Of every possessor Of a goot
microscope. Man would not be worth

Garrett p. Serviss. Ia Success, II he did
not strive to enlarge the powers Of his
eyes, his ears and Of all his organs OF
sense, in order to perceive and compre-
bend more fully the secrets and beauties
Of nature.
The two great allies Of the eye that

and the telescope.

They might easily become confused and
discouraged by the complications, and

Of manipulating q powerful microscope
with its delicate accessories.
A simple instrument is best. A very
high magnifying power isnot needed. A
single cheap lens steadily mounted will
do wonders, even when It magnifies but
q few diameters. I have often been as
tonished to find how few persons ever

how to use one IL 1t is handed to them.

Cruelty to Song Birds.

Probably not n man In a million
outside the initiated knows that many
of the birds which compete for singing
prizes are blind; that the men who own
them have passed a red-hot skewer
across their retina and destroyed their
sight forever. The reason for doing so
is that the birds, hearing the notes Of
others which they cannot see, imagine
themselves In the fields again, and ring

The look Of impotence vanished at
the sight Of the slender young figure

brimmed hat rested on a head
crowned by shining, reddish-brown
hair, and the eyes that harmonic
with such hair looked appealingly up
at him.
