a good deal of bashful hesitation, he
leaned forward. touched the woman in

tone:
"Madam, viii You kindly take off

NATURAL DIXIE IN CALIFORNIA.
Strange Volcanic Formation Along Bank
of Fall River

Nature is full of strange freaks. and
her agentS-rains, storms, winds and
even dust-prOduce results that might
often be mistaken for the works Of hu-
man hands, though frequently on CO.
lOssal scale.
Volcanic activities are mighty factors,
and through them some wonderful phe-
nomena are wrought. One of these may
be seen along the course of Fab river.
in northern California. This stream Is
of considerable size, and the work of ma
lures gigantic forces may be seen be-
tween the upper and lower cascades of
the river.
1t is what might properly be called a
volcanic dixie" This dixie extends for
some distance along Fall river, near its
banks and nearly parallel TO the course.
1t bears close resemblance to a roughly
constructed wall. The top of this dixie
is very ragged and the height of varying
attitudes. In some places it is 20 feet
high and several feet in thickness. and
again may be easily clambered over
The rock of which this wall of nature is
composed is of very porous character
bearing some resemblance TO pumice-
stone, though more solid and of greater
specific gravity.
That entire region is of volcanic origin
and evidently was. once the scene of
great erputive activity Scoria and lava
abound, though the face of the country
is now thickly clad with timber and
brush. The dixie begins and ends alb
ruptly.
The wall of the dixie is evidently the
result of volcanic forces. and has no
doubt stood for many centuries. 1t
stands clear from clinging rocks. has a
narrow foundation, with vertical walls
and is very straight. The mystery is
what forces of nature could have piled
up or left standing this rock formation
so uniform. This dixie has puzzled not
few biologists who have visited and ex
amined it.-American Inventor.

STOLEN BY SCOTCH RAIDERS.


Dead of 900 Years Ago Recalled by Dedi-
cation in Old Church.
New church bells have been dedicated
at Bowness. SSolway, replacing pair TO
which historic interest is attached. Three
hundred years ago Scotch raiders stole
the bells from the church turret An at
tempt was made by the English to bring
them back across the Solway, but on be-
ing pursued they dropped the bells into
the now famous Bell pool. from which
they were subsequently recovered. In
defeating the new bells recently the
bishop Of Carlisle observed that the bells
in country places invariably sounded
sweetly. but he had lived in some towns
where the sound was such that he would
have been thankful if nine-tenthS of the
bells had been buried in the Solway and
never found again. Their dangerous
noise was a perfect nuisance. and they
served no purpose. 4 cracked bell was
no testimonial to a church or chapel. be-
cause people were apt to say that if
there was nothing better inside than tile
noise which came from without they
would not enter the building. Many bells
ia towns were inharmoni0us and unme-
lodious. The whole question Of church
bells needed reconsidera ton
