with this second means Of attack
Of going up oyer the two glaciers dis
covered on the previous expedition-a
plan we had been considering from the
first So we worked our way back to
the coast and went across the ice beds,
which proved to be rather easier than
was at first expected. As we approach
ed Mckinley more closely we climbed
several peaks In our path and camped
on their tops to take observation, some
of them being fully 10000 feet high.
II l had known as much about the
mountain when we started as we knew
after these observations I would not
have hesitated on the trial this sum-
mer instead of waiting until next.
1--WE climbed two peaks close by, one
to the south, the other to the south
east, and finally a third, some distance
away to the southwest, reaching a
point about ten miles from the sheer
ascent, which was fully as near as we
had hoped or expected to get. The I'M
portant question was now solved. We
knew there was only one method Of
attack left, because we had observed
three sides and found them all imprac-
ticable. The whole south face consists
Of a precipice with sheer drop of
about $4,000 feet. The east and west
are long terraces OF snow, broken by
vertical cliffs with drops Of from 1000
to 5000 feet, there being no single
ridge by which it Is possible to go to
the top. The northeast is similar In
formation, so those four routes had to
be put aside as impossible.
'"That left only the northwest as
possibility, and Mr.. Porter was able to
observe about $4,000 feet Of this side
from a neighboring peak. He found 1t
almost all snow, though terribly steep
and presenting no impossible features
as far as he could see. Yet he couldn't
observe right down to the base, and
until we learn how that Is formed we
shall not know whether there Is even
one possible way Of reaching the top.
II 1t is all snow there will be no great
difficulty, for where this Is found 1t Is
possible to climb with the aid Of good
guides. But If that unexplored base
turns out to be cut by ravines and GRE
vases our last hope will be gone. DR..
Cook and his party will try to observe
this base during the present summer,
and IL they succeed l shall go up there
next summer fully equipped with
guides and information resolved to
make the ascent IL such thing Is pos
sible"
Speaking Of his plans for next year,
DR.. Parker said he would leave New
York about May l. He will start into
the northern territory at Skagway. GO
ing around by way Of the Yukon river
to the Tanano river by means of the
steamboats, that ply that far. Thence
he will either pack" across the coun-
try or go up the Kantishna river by
boat. The attempt to climb the noun
tain will be made during June, July or
August, as he says these are the only
months during which 1t is at all possi-

AUTO RACE INCIDENTS.

Thrills Furnished by Dangerous
Turns on Vanderbilt Cup Course.
Fully 10000 persons jammed them
selves into solid segment on both
sides Of the road at the Jericho turn in
the Vanderbilt cup course on Long
island, where the recent great auto
mobile race was held. So persistent
was the crowd In pushing forward into
the center Of the roadway directly aft
er car had passed that the police
were twice compelled to resort to their
night sticks In order to clear the course,
says the New York Herald. In the In
stance of Joe Tracy taking the turn at
the third lap this decisive action pre-
vented a serious accident
Directly after the car ahead Of Tracy
had whizzed around the bend several
hundred men and women started across
the course to the hotel on the opposite
side. In an instant the explosion Of
Tracy's locomobile was heard. With
not an instant to lose, the police, aided
by the special guards Of the course
beat the throng back In just sufficient
time to let the machine skim safely by.
More than 400 automobiles We're sta
toned at Hairpin turn, many Of them
having arrived early the night before,
and fully 10000 persons were witnesses
to exciting Incidents OF the race at this
point Many Of the cars approached
the curve at a better rate than mile q
minute and swept the gowns OF wo-
men or threw stones and dust upon
their garments SO closely did they ap-
proach the throng along the ascent to
the curve and over Its sharp rim.
Only by the narrowest margin was
an accident averted late In the morn
ing. Haynes came down the shaded

wonders of Baalbec.

Baalbec, or Baalbek, is the name
given Il ruined city lying i'll ancient
Coele-Syria, forty-five miles northwest
of Damascus. There is nothing partic-
ularly remarkable about ruined city
being found in the locality mentioned,
but the size of the blocks of stone used
by the ancient builders Of this partic
ular city is something that has puzzled
the modern engineers since the day
when Baalbec was first made the Nee
ca of the oriental traveller. There are
immense stones OH every side Of the
visitor to this ancient pile of ruins, but
the three most remarkable blocks-said
to be the largest ever used in the con-
struction Of building-are in Il wall
back of the temple of Baal. These i'm
mense stones are respectively sixty
four. siXty-three and siXty-two feet in
length and each is thirteen feet in
thickness, but the most wonderful
thing in connection with them is the
fact that they are at place in the
wall twenty-five feet from the ground.
How these immense blocks Of granite
We're ever raised to such height is q
question that has never yet been nm
swercd.

Cocaine, an alkaloid of cocoa leaves,
was discovered in 1859, but remained
in comparative obscurity until 1884. In
minute doses, whether taken internally
or used as Il spray on mucous surfaces,
its effect is wonderfully eXhilarating
producing for II time the fresh and
buoyant sensations of youth and per-
feet health, that have apparently no
unpleasant reaction, and therein lies
the explanation of the subtle and IT,
resistible power it quickly acquires
over its victims, carrying them to the
very brink of destruction before they
have dreamed Of danger. Being Gu
mulative poison, the first warning
symptom does not appear until the
fatal chains are riveted that shall drag
them, horror stricken and powerless of
resistance, over the precipice to COM
plete mental, moral and physical ruin.
