Longest Climb In the World.

Imagine making the ascent of Mount
Washington by means of a staircase.
But feat akin to this many travellers
in China have accomplished In going
to the top of the holy mountain, some
six thousand feet above Taingan-fu.
The road leading to 1t is the best in all
the kingdom. About q mile north Of
the city walls stands a large gate amid
the ruins of a once flourishing suburb.
Leading from this gate the road is
lined with temples, converts and
shrines, where pilgrims stop to pray II
they are fortunate enough to rid them
selves of the hordes of beggars.
Where the real ascent begins there
is a stone portal which is inscribed
with the fact that here the great Con-
fucius halted 1900 years ago, not hav'
ing the strength TO ascend the six
thousand stone steps leading to the
top. These Taischan stairs are by far
the highest in the world, for, taking
the number of steps in one story or an
ordinary house to be twenty, the mum
Der Of Taischan steps equals three
hundred stories. The coolies will carry
a pilgrim up the stairs and back, a dis
tance of twice sixteen miles, for thirty
cents-ffteep cents for each coolie.
When the ascent is made one tnds
himself upon a large plateau, which is
covered with numerous temples and
stone monuments The main temple is
that of the holy mother, consisting Oh
several buildings surrounded by a
stone wall. The several courts are
adorned with magnificent statues and
monuments of bronze, with a huge
statue of the holy mother on the altar
These doors are opened once only
each year, when an imperial commits
sion comes to collect the money oner-
ings OF the pilgrims. By means OF a
substantial "tip" the guard may be in
duced to push the bar Of the main
gate aside, so that one may have
glimpse within. The floor OF this
large temple is usually filed with
heap of coins of every description
size, and value, probably represent
ing $4,000 in American currency
The money is divided among the con
vents and beggars of the holy noun
tain, but the largest share goes In
to the pockets of that enterprisins

"THE DECLDER"

She secs a customer a little worse

best to persuade the lady that 1t is the
superlative bargain of the season.

Fine Indian Photographs,

We recently published an illustra'
tion of Indian Twins which should
have been credited to Major Lee Moore
house of Pendelton, Oregon, who has
perhaps one Of the best collection OF
Indian pictures Of the north west.
Major Moorehouse's famous pictures Of
the Cayuse Twins has had more re-
cognition, perhaps, than any other
Indian photograph ever taken and he
has now issued an album containing
other striking pictures. "The Last
Outpost of a Dying Race" is a plctur-
esque photograph Of lone Indian tepee
or wigwam with a background Of dark
landscape, suggestive in the extreme
of the title Of the picture. Many OF
the Moorehouse pictures attracted
much attention at the Lewis and
Clarke Exposition.

Before they could step out of the
door, a messenger came in.

has left Kiel. He will send location. b"
"Tell Curtis" said Montrus speaking
low-voiced, that the outcome of this
war depends on him. We want the 10.

with Atsins, he walked out into the
night. The sky was black. The air
was heavy and wet. A gentle drizzle
was starting.
The two men took a few deep
breaths, and then turned to each other.
Neither spoke, but each held out his
hand. One close grasp, and they
parted, Atsins for the sending station,
Montrus for the tower.
When the latter stepped off the ele-
vator al the top, he found two assist
nts busy with the reflector. Far away
the drizzle were the lights of Wash
ington and the Capitol. The general
glanced at the bulletin, but 1t told him

At another televue he got Atsins at

There they also had a duplicate Of

Montrus enveloped his head in the

reinforcement was added to every de-
tail of the station; its capacity was
increased to the limits of possibility.
Night had come and was advancing.
Still Congress held to Its tense debate.
Ten o'clock came; and Atsins sought
Montrus, finding him nervously pacing
back and forth in his office. The young
electrician was calm and charged with
quiet confidence.
"If we can get their location, they
will not leave" he said. Maybe you
cannot furnish it?"
"'We can IL we can get Curtis again" !"
said Montrus. What II We can't?"
Then we shall have TO take them
when we get IT," replied Atsins. 1T
would be safer to annihilate them be-
fore they start"
"Try for Curtis again." ordered the
general, turning to the aide In the
room. They waited for an answer,
which came back presently, The ope-
rator at the Sending Station No. re-
ported that his efforts were not sue
cessful, and he advised against many
repetitions.
"It endangers him." he said. "He
will report when he can"
With nothing to do but wait IN
nervous tension, they saw the hours
mount to IL. Then came a bulletin
from Congress. The vote was about tC
be taken. OF the result there could b'
no doubt. and there was none In th'
minds of the men sitting in the office
There had been none from the start
and yet, now that the moment ha'
come, they looked at each other, pale
faced and heavy-eyed.

where above the hostile feet, Montrus
knew, the scout hung precariously in
a position to send not only informa-
ton but a continuous reflection of the
movements of the airships. He might
be discovered, but that was the hazard
of his occupation. If he were well
concealed by distance, and out of the
path of the enemies scouts, he would
win out. If otherwise, he at least had
done his duty to the best of his ability.
With one finger on button which
would give the signal to Atsins, the
general waited word from the Capitol.
Sixty seconds after the vote had been
taken and war declared, the world
would know 1t. The hostile fleet would
know IL almost as soon as Montrus. II
was in the arrogance of superior force
tha' the enemy had waited the formal
beginning of hostilities.
Ripples of light were chasing each
other across the reflector; shadowy
forms appeared and disappeared In
vapors and fc~s. Then came an outline
growing distinct, and presently
he had the picture again.
Outside the hood was the black
drizzling night t; inside, the face OF the
reflector was glowing with a picture
of clouds lighted by the early rays o.
the sun and of feet of airships Ian
guidly floating at rest.

To the surprise of the nation, Con-

row fringe OF conservative members
standing between the country and

picked up again and was voluminous
and detailed once more. still carried
the prediction that war was inevitable
and could be only delayed.
Meanwhile the stolid helplessness
the War Department, which had blan-
keted even the energetic efforts of the
department chiefs to do the best they
could at the eleventh hour, had give'
away to feverish activity extending
even to departments unaware of tn
purpose,
Atsins had taken a fast express ship
back to Susquehanna, returning at top
speed with the concentration, the plans
