Chocolate. Cocoa. Coca

Chocolate is made by grinding the
roasted kernels of the seeds of the
theobroma cocao, a tree indigenous to
Mexico, to which paste sugar and flaw
oring are often added. Cocoa, or more
correctly cacao, is made in similar
manner, but the cocoa butter is more
or less removed, which renders 1t more
digestible. Coca is the leaf of an An
dean shrub of the erythroxylon spe-
cies. There is not even a distant rela-
tionship between coca and cacao.
The word coca is derived from the
Quichua word ku-ku, meaning the
shrub or plant par excellence, from the
fact that coca was employed so inti-
mately by the Incas that they termed
it "divine plant" The word was cor
rupted by the Spanish invaders to coca.
The Andean Indians will not work
unless supplied with a daily ration of
coca. 1t is given them in place of other
food or drink to carry with them dur
ing their toll. Cocaine is derived from
coca.-N. Y. Times.

REDUCES TIME TO TWENTY
SEVEN HOURS
PLANS ARE NOW PERFECTED
Clark Road to Put on Limited With
Equipment Equal to Any in
the West-To Chicago
In Three Days
PLANS ARE NOW PERFECTED

BY arrangements now being COM
pleted the Salt Lake road will double
it's passenger service between Los An
geles and Salt Lake city on or about
November 1, when it will put on a
thorugh train with a schedule of
twenty-seven hours. 1t is expected
that this time will be shortened to
twenty-four hours before the winter
is over.
The present schedule between the
terminals is thirty-five hours, and the
contemplated Improvement places Los
Angeles in much closer connection with
Montana, Colorado and Utah points
than it has been heretofore.
1t is further planned by Salt Lake
officials that, with the INSTALLATION of
the new service, they will offer a
seventy hour schedule between Los
Angeles and Chicago, the routing from
Salt Lake to be, without doubt, over
the Union Pacific and Northwestern.
This will equal the fast time offered
by the Santa Fe. The new train will
be one of the most luxuriously ap-
pointed in the west.

TALES FOR NATURE STUDENTS
One Duck Was Wise and One Lion
Was Grateful

John Burroughs. the naturalist, was
laughing about the story, widely pub
lished not long since, of wild duck
that got a salt water mussel caught on
it's tongue, and had intelligence enough
to fly from the salt to fresh water,
where it dipped the mussel, sickening
it through osmosis, and thus causing
it to loosen it's firm grip.
"I believe that story of the duck that
understood the theory of osmosis," said
Mr.. Burroughs. 81 believe 1t as i'm
plicitly as 1 believe the story of the
crippled lion and the young lieutenant
perhaps you have heard this story?
No? Well, then:

badly crippled lion. The great brute
limped over the tawny sand on three
paws, holding its fourth paw in the air.

An Open Question

Ever since the time of the famous
travelled parson" stay-athome folks
have had their doubts at times about
the desirability of having globe trot-
ters for friends and relatives.
Old Miss Stanton, after sending her
nephew Edward through college, next
supplied him with funds for a years S
travel abroad. On his return the young
man was possessed by a praiseworthy
zeal to entertain his venerable and
generous aunt as well as to make plain
to her that he had profited by his adj
vantages. Especially had he, during
his visit of month at Miss Stanton s.,
expatiated on the magnificence of
Switzerland's scenery, until that lady
found herself actually cherishing a
grudge against the Alps.
There 1 stood, Aunt Elizabeth"
said the long -winded young man i'm
pressively, there I stood, and, beneath
me that stupendous abyss was yawn-
ing"
The long suffering old lady broke in
at this point.

prepared to say whether that abyss
was yawning before you got there, or
did it begin shortly afterwards Pm.

BY Associated Press.
CHARLESTON, S. c., Sept. 6.-The
British steamer Tropic, 2340 tons, Capt.
a voyage lasting nearly three months.
The second mate, purser and fifteen
seamen are missing. Sailing from Val
paraiso, Chile, June 21, the Tropic met
2S. while off Cape Putu and about fif-
teen miles from Constitution, the ship
went hard aground not over 300 yards
from the beach. High seas were run
ming. The second mate, purser and fif-
teen seamen put out in the first life
boat for Constitution for aid, but never
returned. All night the seas dashed
over the Tropic and twenty men on
board momentarily expected the end.
Morning brought hope in the sight of
men on shore, but there seemed no way
to get to the ship. The captain with
kite sent a cord to shore and next
line and then a hawser reached the
land. Over this the men went ashore.
When the storm abated somewhat the
vessel was found to be undamaged.
A naval court at Talcahuano exone-
rated the captain and crew. The
grounding is accredited to a deviation
of the ships compasses and the pre-
valence of a strong inset current off
Putu in latitude $500 south and longi-
tude 1920 west. The Tropic was twenty
days overdue and a cable from VAL
paraiso to the Maritime Register dated
wreck.

when the lion saw the young lieu
tenant, it came slowly toward him. He
stood his ground, rifle in hand. But
the beast meant no harm. 1t drew
close to him; it rubbed against him
with soft feline purrs; it extended its
hurt paw.
"The lieutenant examined the paw
and found large thorn in it. He ex-
tracted the thorn, the lion roaring with
pain, and he bound up the wound with
his handkerchief. Then, with every
manifestation of relief and gratitude,
the animal Withdrew.
But it remembered its benefactor.
1t was grateful And in practical way
1t rewarded the young man.

WYoMING's RAPID GROWTH
Each Inhabtant Loses Some Of His
Breathing Room

From Golfers weekly:
A traditional right has been invaded.
That square mile of fresh air, in which
every inhabitant of Wyoming has been
accustomed to breathe and find elbow
room, is squeezed and clipped about
the edges. The census of 1905 shows
that 101, ,S19 people must be crowded
into Wyomings 1880 square miles.
Wyoming is filled up.
To the effete and cabined citizen Of
the east a square mile of empty air
seems a dread immensity of space, an
abundance of superfluous breath. For
the free born denizen of the land Of
the Big Horn and the North Platte it is
no more than enough. In 1880 there
were nearly two miles of territory for
each inhabitant, and in 1890 one and
one-half miles. In 1900 each man could
still have more than one square mile
to himself. Ever the band grows
tighter. From the green reaches of
Lara mie county, from the Yellowstone
and Powder rivers we seem to hear the
distant rumble of rising discomfort. On
the lonely banks of the Sinking Water
the Hon. Buffalo B. Cody stirs himself
The only Powell, his trusty side part

There are two rays of hope. The

Of 15,7S5 since the federal census five
years ago. And there is always Ne
vada. There are over 10000 square
miles in Nevada and only about $4,000
people-almost three square miles for
every man.

FOR GRAND CANYON
LINE TO REACH THE FAMOUS
KAIBAB PLATEAU
Petitions From Utah and Arizona Will
Ask That Needed Improvements

Paradise for Hunters

To reach Americas most wonderful
tableland by a wire tram from the
depths of the Grand Canyon of the
Colorado is the latest scheme to attract
tourists.
On the north side of the great gorge,
its own cliff sides rising sheer above
the surrounding desert, the Kaibab
plateau lifts high toward Arizona s
cloudless sky. inaccessible, abounding
in game, the plateau remains a land of
mysteries in the midst of the baked
alkali plains.
The men who have lived in it's forests
were for the most part Mormon Dan
ties. who had fled to avoid persecu-
ton They belonged to that stern,
grizzly breed of fanatics who carry
their Bibles along with their rifles.
And these men have not desecrated the
place.
Years ago in company which in
cluded John w. Young. son of Brigham
Young, a promoter of the shipbuilding
trust, Col. William F. Cody visited
tne plateau ana lie saw lJS wonders.
His horse walked ankle deep in the.
flowers that cover it's grassy stretches.
The old scout stood on Point Sublime
and looked out over the canyon of the
Colorado. He spent two weeks on the
upland's floor. He was the first to ad-
vance the proposition of making ma.
tional park from Kaibab plateau.
Game Is Plentiful
The place is so situated that it would
be necessary to run a wire fence around
it for several miles, and game could
not leave nor could other animals come
into it. Buffalo BilP' and John w.
Young talked of this plan.
Now movement has been begun, and
a petition will come from Utah and
Arizona asking that this Improvement
be brought about. With the establish
ment of the aerial tramway and the
opening of this wonderland to men who
could never reach it people realize that

DENVER, Sept. 6.-The main event
of the Grand Army encampment, speak
ing from the viewpoint Of the rank and
file, was the grand parade which oc-
Cured today. To the veteran the privi-
lege of again treading in step with COM
rades of the bivouac of 81 is one for
which no hardship seems too great to
undergo, no ordeal too severe to under
take. Many who marched the two miles
today were exhausted when the end
was reached and many others, weak
ened by age, fell out of line long before
the journey was completed. Those tot
tering veterans, regretting their inabil-
ity to remain in the parade and giving
every evidence of their feelings, would
be cared for by persons nearest at hand,
led to a place where they could rest
and recover from their exhaustion. 1t
was a common sight to see a gray
haired old soldier sitting on the curb
ing, gazing wistfully at his more sturdy
comrades as they passed him by.
The ovation given the marchers was
unstinting. The streets were packed
with people and the windows and roofs
of the buildings along the line of march
swarmed with humanity. The cheering
was continuous and the grizz1ed old
warriors We're kept busy bowling ac-
acknowledgements and raising their hats
in courteous salute.
Three hours were consumed by the
procession in passing the grand stand.
General Harper Moorhead, chairman of
the parade committee, stated that 49,
900 members of the Grand Army par
ticipated in the parade. Kansas car
ried off the honors for the largest rep
1esentation, having nearly 2500 men in
line.
The most perfect arrangements pos
sible for communication and emergency
service were provided. Telephone sta
tons were placed along the route of
march and physicians were in attend
ance every block or so, A horseman
was unseated by his frightened mount
and in falling broke a finger. A sur
Geon stationed near by had seen the
accident and the man was astride his
animal and in line again before the
procession had progressed two blocks
from where the accident occurred.
General Donaldson of st. Louis was
stricken with heart failure and was
carried to a hospital in an ambulance.
His recovery is doubtful.
There were many interesting features
connected with the parade, but one Of
the most impressive was the appear
ance of an ex-confederate soldier in the
gray uniform of his fighting days. A
great cheer rent the air as he stood
alone in a carriage waving the stars
and stripes and bowling to the multi
tude.
Both the national encampment of the
q. A. r. and the annual meeting of the
Woman's Relief Corps will open to-
morrow morning.
