A NATURAL DIXIE.
TZae Volcanic Formation Along tho

TZle Volcanic Formation Along tho
Course OF Fall River.
Nature is full Of strange freaks. and
her ugents--rains, storms, winds and
even .dust--produce results that might
human hands. though frequently on q
colossal scale.
Volcanic activities are mighty fac
tors, and Il rough them some wonder
full phenomena are wrought. One Of
these may be seen along the course OF
Fall river, in northern California. This
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 1e called
"volcanic dixie" This dixie extends
for some distance nlong 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 twenty feet high and
several feet In thickness, and again
may be easily clambered over. The rock
Of which this wall of nature Is CON-
posed is Of a very porous character,
bearing some resemblance to pumice
stone, though much more solid and OF
greater specific gravity.
That entire region is of volcanic orr
gin and evidently was once the scene
Of great eruptivc activity. Scorla and
lava abound, though the face Of the
country is now thickly clad with timber
and brush. The dixie begins and ends
abruptly.
The wall Of the dixie is evidently the
result Of volcanic forces, and has no
doubt stood for many centuries. It
stands clear from clinging rocks, has
narrow foundation, with vertical
walls. and is very straight. The mys-
terry is what forces Of nature could
have piled up CT left standing this
rock formation so uniform. This dixie
has puzzled not a few geologigts who
have visited and examined it-Ameri-
can Inventor.

Rapid Fire Justice.

Yankee dispatch characterizes the
court rulings of q Toronto magistrate,
of whom John Foster Fraser tells in
his book, Canada as It Is." The
magistrate, who is reported to have
got through with forty cases in forty
minutes, was once asked how he
managed it. "You must have some
SYSTEM" was the suggestion.
Il never allow a point of law to be
raised - was the magistrates prompt
reply. '"Thss is q court of Justice,
not court Of law"
"Not so very long ago young at
torney wanted to quote law against
my sending his man down for six
months.' He wanted to quote Math-
ews' think.
80 Well,' said I, Mathews may
be great authority on law, but I
guess he hasn't as much authority ss
l have in this court. Your man goes
down for six months"

A Humorist in Love.

A certain young humorist once vio-
lently fell in love with a pretty girl
whom he had met for the first time.
The strength Of his attachment may be
guaged by the following letter he in
dited to her:
"My Dear Miss NJ. Every time I
think Of you my heart fops up and down
like an excited eel in q fish basket. Sen
sations of unutterable joy caper over it
like the young kitten on an outside roof,
and thrill through it like broken bottles
on the garden wall through the gar
ments of the noctural thief. AS gos-
ling swimmeth in mud puddle, SO l
swim in sea of glory. Visions Of
ecstatic rapture thicker than the hairs
of a blacking brush visit me in my slum-
bers, and borne on their invisible wings,
I reach out to grasp your image like d
terrier Swapping at bluebottle fly.
"Since the light Of your face fell upon
nv life sometimes feel as if could lift
myself by my boot jack to the top OF the
church steeple and pull the bell ropes
for morning school.
DAY and night you are in my thoughts
and whenever think OF you my heart,
like a piece Of guttapercha, seems
stretched across my bosom.
"Your hair is like the name Of chest.
nut horse powdered with gold, and the
brass pins skewered through it fill me
with unbounded awe. Your forehead
is smoother than the elbow Of an old
coat, and your eyes are glorious to be-
hold. In their liquid depths I see le-
gions Of Cupids bathing like cohort of
ants in an old Wellington boat. When
their fire hit my manly breast it pene-
trated my whole anatomy, as a charge
of bird shot goes through ripe apple.
"If you cannot reciprocate my thrilling
passion, shall pine away like a poison
| ed fly, and fall from the flourishing vine
of life an untnnely branch. And in IN
coming years, when the shadows fall
from the hills and the corncake sings
his cheerful evening hymn, you, happy
| in another's love, can come and drop a
tear and catch cold on the last resting
place of your affectionate, H. "

ment, practically no street paving, no
much of that. An Egyptian mummy
OF the First Dynasty would be a brisk
brother compared with Thompson in
the mayors chair.
But. 10 consider Ez seriously. what
would he and his equally live organ do
with the water question if they get a
chance at it? In all their philippics
against Morris they have carefully re-
! Trained from proposing any other plan
than the one he has adopted and is
! carrying out successfully. They Ger
| tainly would have to take the Big Cot
tonwood water for, in a moment of in
| spiration, dear old Dennis Eichnor
wrote a message TO the council for
Ezra, which Ezra signed, recommends
ing the acquisition of Big Cottonwood.
But how would Ez get it without
| adopting the Norris system? Would
he just go out with shovel and turn
! the water toward the city, or would he
execute the contracts already made be-
tween the city and the owners of the
water as Morris expects 10 do? Would
he complete the conduit, or bring the
water into the city mains with a hose?
The Tribune knows. and Ez knows
the American" party knows. and ev-
erybody else knows. that neither
Thompson nor the Tribune or any other
power could devise a change of plan:
that the whole Morris arrangement for
the enlargement of the city's water
supply is the only feasible and practi-
cable plan; and that even Thompson
would be compelled to admit it and
adopt exactly the arrangement now in
force and being completed.
The truth is, that the Americans
have realized little too late that the
people want the Big Cottonwood va
ter, they are going to have it, and the
man who has done the only real work
in that direction. Richard p. Morris. is
going to be reelected 10 finish the job.
