attempted to ascend the mountain
which upholds his name, but he did not
reach the summit. The first men to
reach the summit of the peak were DR..
Edwin James, Mr.. Wilson and two 9TH
er members Of Maj. Longs military ex-
petition to the Rocky Mountains on the
18th and 14th Of July, 1920. The noun
tain was called James Peak for many
years.
The Memorial.
Pixies map shows that he climbed to
an altitude Of about 5000 feet on what
Is now known as Mount Cheyenne, and
the people Of Colorado Springs propose
to mark the spot by a gigantic bowlder
- feet high and approximately four
feet square, a monument typical OF the
rugged character Of the explorer and
of the ground he Travelled. The bowl
der was found near the spot where
Pike and his companions found shell
ter from the snowstorm, and 1t pleases
the sentimental to imagine that 1t Is
not beyond the range OF probability
that the brave pioneer actually saw
and may have touched his own monu-
ment, erected by an admiring people
100 years after his terrible experience.

Cotton Goods from This Country

The waking up of Manchuria Is
shown by the activity of New Chwang,
the only open-door port, which in 1905
developed a m of $53,O00,OO0.
Nearly half Of this was foreign imports
and Of the latter, Notwithstanding the
sharp competition of Japan, England
and Germany and other countries. the
United States enjoyed fully one-ha.f,
says the New York Tribune. Consul
General Sammons declares that this
trade, which is largely in cotton goods.
was won by American products purely
on tLeir merits. In his latest report to
the government he says
Kew Chwang being one of the ports
OF the world of much Importance to
manufacturers of American cotton
goods, the question Is frequently asked
by what methods such products first en-
tered this market. 1t is said by pio-
neer foreigners that when English
manufacturers controlled the trade thir-
ty years or more ago a very cheap Man
chester cotton cloth was foisted upon
the market. 1t was 1imsy of texture
and stiffened with sizing to give it an
attractive appearance. Some Of this

TWO ANIMALS ARE IN ONE.
Half of a Chameleon May Be Wide
Awake and the Other Asleep.

Half Of n Chameleon May Be Wide
Awake and the Other Asleep.
To all appearances and according to
the researches Of those best capable Of
forming an OPINION on the subject the
nervous centers in one lateral half Of
the chameleon go on independently Of
those on the other, and it has two lat
eral centers of perception-sensation
and motion-besides the Common n
in which must reside the faculty of
concentration.
The eyes move Independently Of
another and convey separate impress
sions to their respective centers Of per-
ception. The consequence is that When
the animal is agitated its movements
resemble those of two animals or rather
perhaps two halves Of animals glued
together. Each half wishes to go its
own way and there Is no concordance
Of action. 4
The chameleon, therefore, Is the only
four-legged vertebrate that Is unable
to swim it becomes SO frightened when
dropped into water that oil faculty of
concentration is lost and the creature
tumbles about as If in a state Of intox-
ication. r..
When a chameleon Is. undlsturbed
every impulse to motion is referred to
the proper tribunal and the whole or
ganism acts In accordance with It's de-
crees.
The chameleon, moreover, may be
fast asleep on one side and wide awake
on the other. Cautiously approached at
night with a candle SO as not to awaken
the whole animal at once, the eye turn
ed toward the light will open, begin to
move and the corresponding side to
change color, whereas the other side
will remain for a longer or shorter time
in a torpid, motionless and unchanged
state, with Its eye fast shut-Scientifc

At the feet OF Pixies Peak now lie
the twin cities OF Colorado Springs and
Manitou. Here the tourist pauses in a
spell OF mighty woDderment before the
amazing prodigies of a riotously eccen-
tric nature. which manifests itself in
dashing cascades, lofty mountains,
gruesome formations, monolithic spires
and magnetic springs. Here are acres
OF tumultuous stone, grand and haotic
Rising like a giant specter above Its
lesser brothers and dipping its hoary
head into the balGric Of the heavens

The Ascent.
In 1852 a rough foot trail was estab-
lished to the summit. and twenty years
Later this was enlarged to accommodate
vehicles In 1884 the building of a rail-
road was undertaken, but was aban-
doned because Of lack OF capital. mid
four years later another project OF the
same kind was set on foot, the cog
wheel system Of mountain climbing be
ing adopted. As the higher attitudes

but freer from accidents than the rail-
road lines down on the plains. Once
the top is reached, the tourist beholds
a wonderful view. West, south and
north is a mighty army Of mountains,
in companies and battalions, bold, rug
ged and majestic, always standing in
review before the Captain Of Worlds
who seems to have halted his regiment
for inspection before an impending bat
tie. Away to the east spread the fad
ing prairies, losing themselves in the
horizon. Down below lie the cities, and
the superbly beautiful Garden Of the
Gods Is V an object Of delight. There
are times when a snow storm RACES on
the peak and summer sunshine bathes
the plains; there are awesome occa-
when, standing under an arch of
clear sky, the summer visitor may see
rolling clouds gathering into scrolls of
darkness and livid lightning running
through the storm that is breaking in
torrential rain away down the noun
tain side. Winter and summer, storm
and sunshine have their eternal tryst-
ing place on the breast of this giant
peak, in whose bosom nestles one Of
the fairest Of mountain lakes.
Colorado Springs enjoys over 300
clear days annually and 22O that are
cloudless. This community
has attracted the attention and adml-
ration Of the traveller, the home-seeker,
and the invalid. It's Inhabitants are
essentially cosmopolitan, for they come
from the cultured classes Of the United
States and Europe. Nature, at Colo
Springs, has been lavish with her
choicepossessions of pure air and noun
tain spring water, life-giving sunshine
and diversified scenery Of unsurpassed
gradueur. Man has taken advantage
these gifts by building in their midst
city whose reputation as a health
and pleasure resort is second to none
in the world. Its beautiful homes,
wide avenues, modern trolley system,
cool nights In summer, sunny days In
winter, drives and trails, parks, porous
soil, absence Of mud and slush, make
it q veritable Mecca.

will be held at Rome in May, 1907.

English Wesleyan preacher, said - true

January and February in the middle
West.
That higher criticism is taking hold in
conservative churches. says Public Opin-
ion, is shown by a letter that has been
sent broadcast in the Episcopal church.,
for both clergy and laity to unite in an
investigation of certain traditional details
of the Bible. This letter is similar to
one sent out last year in Great Britain
which obtained the sanction of 100
Episcopal clergymen. The letter expresses
the fear that the church doors may be,
closed upon men of high spiritual and
intellectual attainments and that it is
not without peril to build faith of souls
primarily upon the details of the New
Testament story. Writers In the Catholic
New York Review recently founded by
Bishop Farley, are also presenting the
need of harmonizing ancient truth and
modern thought.
A pulpit that has been eonsecrated by

GETS FORTUNE FROM skuNks.

Eanchmaa an Missouri River Raises
Animal for His Hide.
John Lucas, living southwest Of Elk
Point, S. D., in the great bluffs along
the Missouri river, is slowly amassing
a fortune by the raising and killing
Of skunks for their hides and oil, says
the New York Herald. He has been
doing this for several years and now
has q yeritable farm of these anil
mails.
He has made an Enclosure of stout
wire covering an area Of an acre. The
wire fence is six feet high and the
wires are buried three feet below the
ground. AS the bluffs form a natural
home for the skunk, he has no houses
or shelter to build for the animal. The
low marshes in one corner and the
heavy growth of bushes at one end of
the Enclosure mike a hiding place for
the timid creatures. s
The skunks derive their source of
nourishment from small mice they
catch along the bluffs and from frogs
in the summer time.
The time for killing the animals for
their hides begins about Nov. i, OF &
little earlier should the weather be
cold. Only a stick is necessary, for
Lucas, walking among the bushes and
poking in the holes, gives each speci-
men he selects a slight knock on the
head, rendering TIE victims dead in
an instant, and not injuring the fur,
as a trap or rifle would do.
Over 300 prime furs We're collected
last fall. The skins are shipped to
Sioux City and Omaha and other mar

The pure black ones are being bred
in preference to others, where found
practicable, as the pure black skunk
hide is as valuable as mink.
