A great cumulous thunderhead

the Himalayas.

These clouds contain strata OF tenn

alternating with large distances OF
rainy mist and frozen snow and ice

Hailstones, which are formed from
a snow particle that falls from the up
per strata and is frozen hard in the
freezing belt and coated with added
ice on the wet belt, are often found
with a series of layers in their forma'

through this succession Of cloud stra-

Tlnkerinq Steel is the Family TAFT.

Samuel Maxim, a brother of the
Maxim Of rapid-fring gun f9me, has
made a discovery in a process for
producing steel which has remarkable
qualities. Mr.. Maxim is a farmer who
lives In Maine. For some time he
has been experimenting with various
methods for making blades which will
vie with the Damascus blade of i'm
mortal fame.
After reading some old Hindo books
he constructed a forge on the In.
dian plan, and from this produced
an ingot. which he forged into a
rough drill. This drill bored an iron
file as easily as if it had been piece
of wood. Tried with scale of metals
gradually increasing in hardness, this
drill penetrated them all, not stop
ping at the best steel O5tainable. In
case this steel should prove to be
like that Of the apcients it will open
up a vast field OF possibilities

Grcenleaf Davis, the hermit OF
Mount Katahdin, tells of a bluejay's
nest that contained the shells of more
than ESQ eggs, which the Jays had
stolen from the nests OF song birds
and taken home fer their young to
feed on. Hidden in one side of the
nest was a gold watch which a hunter
from Worcester had lost the previous
autumn and had accused his guide of
stealing. The watch had been hung
on the limb of a leauto-camp at night,
and when the hunter awoke in the
morning the timeriPce was missing.

Die'man's Little Joke,

Frederick Dielman, president of the
National Academy of Design of New
York, has a reputation for his fine
sense of humor as we'll as for his
achievements in art. The other day
he leCtured before the students of the
city college, where he holds the chair
Of esthetics, and was trying to impress
upon them the prevalence of the curve
in animal form.
Nov, gentlemen" said President
Dielman, "can anybody mention even
one instance of the straight line in the
animal kingdom?" Perfect silence
reigned for a few moments. it was
evident that the students were in deep
cogitation, when at last one Of them
in the rear raised his hand.
"a dogs tail, sir" he said.
"Ah," replied president Dielman,
without hesitation: 81 see you are
reduced to an extremity."--Denver Re-

The wiptrg out of these groggeries
Is assured, and the method to be en-,
Moved to accomplish it has been tried
successfully in other localities, as will
be seen by the following report from
New York City;
Bishop Henry c. Potter, the cele-
brated EpiScopalian Divine, delivered
the principal address on August %, in
New York City, at the formal opening
Of 'oThe Subway Tavern" a model Sa-
Icon, which was established by a num-
her of leaders in The reform movement
in that city.
The purpose of the promoters Of the
enterprise is to serve pure liquors and
food at low prices under the best pos
sibIe moral conditions. In his address
Bishop Potter said the keynote Of true
reform had been struck by the estab-
lshment Of q social gathering place
OF q high moral standard, where men
and women could secure refreshment
amid surroundings Of the highest re-
spectability.
THE effort to bar the saloon" said
Bishop Potter, ''is one Of the most
comic and tragic failures Of history.
The Inauguration Of a resort like this
Is in many respects the greatest social
movement that New York has ever
known. The Republic is not to be
saved by theories, or by electing this
nan or that man, but by recognition
OF great ideals.

IN Great Britain Lord Grey's So

served, but also tea, coffee. milk ant

I'VE propose to enlist the sympathy
Of sane and practical men to remedy

prepared to endure the utmost Cyni

Bishop Potter concluded by wishing
every success to the movement, Thu

with the Weyerhaeuser Timber Co.
of Washington to promote the value
of the forests on the 100000 acres
of the timber land in the Puget
Sound country as the timber is cut
of-that is, to perpetuate the forests.
All that is necessary to do to per-
petuate the forests along the coast
side of the Cascades is to keep out the
fires. After the timber is cut off a
new growth Immediately springs
up and grows right along through
the year without letup for nights,
Sundays or legal holidays. Abund-
ance of moisture accelerates the
growth with no frost to retard.
