First Sight Of Pixies Peak.

Writing from Goodnight, Texas, to
the Colorado Springs Gazette. Donald
Hewitt says:
Pike first saw the grand peak" or
great snow mountain" as he invari-
ably calls 1T, at o'clock on the after
noon OF November 10. 1906. He was
then marching along the Arkansas
river half dozen miles or less below
tho point at which the Purgatory or
Las Animas river flows into the Ar.
kansas. This Is not far from the CEN
te:' of Bent county, Colorado. 1t is
exactly eighty miles in an air line from
Pueblo and 100 miles from the peak. A
study OF Pixies journal with good
map at hand will determine the po-
siticn at that time with considerable
accuracy. The stages of his journey
OF the days preceding November 18th
can be easily followed. The two dry
creeks, and very high points Of rocks
passed early in the morning of the 18th
are to be found on the map. Nor Is
there the slightest doubt that the
fork discovered before evening on the
south side bearing 8. 20 degrees W., is
the Purgatory or Las Animas river.
30 far As know no one has yet at
tempted to locate the hill to which
Pike refers when he says: when our
email party arrived on the hill. they
with one accord gave three cheers to
the Mexican mountains" Here Is a
problem to be worked out by some
good oitisen Of Las Animas.

Disquieting to jewellers on the

drawn by DR.. c. Davidson, who
is an authority on the topic of
earthquakes. from the San Fran

the western United States we
are presented with mountains
in four stages of growth. In the
Rockies we have ranges SO an
cient that they have almost
ceased to grow; the Sierra Ne
vada another which is approach
ing old age; the coast ranges are
in the stage of youthful vigorous
growth, with the possibility of
long and active growth before
them; while still further to
the west, and not yet risen

lie an embryonic range of which

earthquakes are the birth throes.

chamols Skin Of commsres.

Charles C. Druedling. Of Philadel-
phia, has written an article for tho
American Journal of Pharmacy on the
subject of channels skins. What 10
known in the market as chamois skins.
he says, is really an obtained sheep
or lamb skin lining. The supply OF
skins from the channels animal is very.
limited-enough could not be obtained
in a year to supply the United States
for more than q single day. He made
special inquiry on a recent visit to
Switzerland aboyt the annual crop Of
the chamois skin and ascertained that
from 5000 to 5000 skins would be
fair average yearly crop. This skin IL
heavier than the skin Of the sheep or
lamb, also much coarser. For strength
and durability the channels skin is pre-
ferable. but for ordinary use and ap'
pearance the obtained sheep Skin
lining would. in most instances, b
preferred.
