ON OUTFITS MOUNTAIN.

visit to Blount Springs is not com plete unless one has lighted A torch crawied into one of the mountain caves tasted of the water from "Cold Spring, or climbed "Duffy's mountain" and seen the foot prints supposed to have been left by the Indians before the rocks had formed. In years gone by during the life or MT, Mathew Duffy that gentleman WAS aiways in his orchard and plucked from the trees nice, juicy fruit for each wis., itor, token of his cordial welcome. Long years ago MT. and Mrs. Duffy. old and feeble. were called hither and the noun tain was left the property of his son. Mr James Duffy and his daughter, Miss Mary Gordon Duffy.
 MT. Jim Duffy, as everybody knew him, was always a famaiar character at the postoffice and bade people vel come to Blount and extended a cordial invitation to visit the mountain. Now he Is no more. and of the Duffy family at Blunt only remains Miss Mary Gordon Duffy. She has her home on the old homestead on the mountain. Surrounded by faithful servants she lives almost alone with her books.
 She loves her friends. and you might say hates her enemies" but they are very few. When the Duny's moved to Blount from Tuscaloosa Miss Duffy was but a girl. She knows everybody in the county and almost in Alabama She has a remarkable memory. a keen sense of the ridiculous and at times a wonderful satire Among the people of Blount dur ing the war times" she was an "angel of mercy and rode through the country on horseback doing missions of kind ness, kinder heart never beat In a hu- man breast and she meets her friends with how do you do'' that makes you home sick for Blount and some of the days gone by.
 Miss Mary Garden Duffy wields a facile pen She is poetical and her verses have melody caught from nature Formerly she wrote much for the newspapers and among her articles contributed to the Birmingham Iron Age were sketches of old families of Jones' Valley, which were interesting and historical.

THIS MORNINGS GOSSIP

Special correspondence from Summer
 Piazzas.
 Summer in the North Carolina noun tains does not begin before the bloom ing of the rhododendron the latter part of June. Until the woodlands are gleam- ing with these wonderful purplish-pink blossoms one likes to sit about the big open fire places and the mountain air has coolness that amounts almost to chilliness.
 In May the spring days grow warmer when the wild azalias turn the forsets to sea of srimp pink and the ivey then comes on with It's white and pink beauty. The rhododendron a few weeks later means that summer has come July days with warm, luxurious, flower laden atmosphere, the sun warm in the heavens for your early morning walk, and lingering long before the red ball drops behind the mountains in a sea of splendor.
 The July nights are much like those of June, except there are no log fires and light wraps are necessary to be bodily comfortable. It is now perfect mountain weather, cool enough for those who en- joy bracing climate and who have not come too i'll to climb mountain peaks and explore the beauties far up the noun tain sides, just now a wilderness of flowers.
 July, delicious with mountain breezes is even more charming than August, the season when the fields in the far valleys are full of the sweetness of the new mown hay. In Auguts the weather is perfect, until all the delights of July are forgotten. The hill sides are in golden glory from the golden road and the little field daisies line the roadsides. Then these mountains in September are incom- parable No where are there such perfect days. May with her wild azalias' June

 These mountains have been truly called nature's kindergarten, and 1t IS inter- esting to know that the hundreds or cnli- dren who are passing the summer nere have been provided with an efficient Kin ldergarten by the enterprising management of the Toxaway hotels, who have made inc following announcement of interest to the many little city folk to whom a stay in these mountains will prove instructve:
 We have been particularly fortunate in securing the services of kindergarten from New York, whose experience there and in other places eminently fits and qualities her for a work in which she has already proven herself so proficient
 Children of the cities, who are deprived of the opportunity to gain information by association with the things of nature, will here be instructed, and will be brought into touchfulness and closeness of re- lationship, such as they may not otherwise acquire:

 Thus new feature enters into the life or the Toxaway country, and its benefits to children and parents are enhanced in marked degree. The class will be opened at the Toxaway Inn early In June.

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

From the American Inventor.
 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 human hands, though frequently on a colossal scale.
 Volcanic activities are mighty fac tors, and through them some wonder full phenomena are wrought. One of them may be seen along the coures of Fall river, in northern California. The stream Is of considerable size, and the work of natures gigantic forces may be seen between the upper and lower cascades of the river.
 It is what might properly be called a volcanic dike" This dike extends for some distance asong Fall river, near it's banks and nearly parallel to it's course. It bears close resemblance to roughly constructed wall. The tc9 of the dike Is very ragged and the he IL of varying attitudes. In some places it is twenty feet high and sev- eral feet in thickness, and again may be easily clam5ered over. The rock of which this wall of nature is com posed is of very porous nature, bear ing some reser blance to pumicestone, though much more solid and of greater specific gravity.
 That entire region is of volcanic origin and evidently was once the scene of great volcanic activity Scoria and lava abound, though the face of the country is now thickly clad with timber and brush. The dike begins and ends abrutly.
 The wall of the dike is evidently the ro It of volcanic forces, and has no doubt stood for many centuries. It stands clear from clinging rocks, has narrow foundation, with vertical walls, and $ very straight The mys- tery is what forces of nature could have piled up or left standing this rock formation so uniform. This dike has puzzled not few geologists who have visited and examined it.
