FIRST MORMON TEMPLE.
1t Was Massive stone Structure
Built by Prophet Joseph Smith.

II Was Massive stone Structure
Built by Prophet Joseph Smith.
The first shrine of Mormonism Is
still standing at Kirkland, Ohio. If the
occupants of the little cemetery near
It could rise, says the Ohio Magazine,
they would tell how many a fevered
zealot gave his lands, his home and his
all to provide funds for the building Of
the temple.
1t was In 1890 that Smith appeared
in Kirkland, and with his coming there
was social revolution the like of
which Ohio had never witnessed. Hus-
bands left their wives and children,
mothers deserted their homes and ba-
bies were placed IN the poorhouse. The
end came when Joseph Smith was com
PEELED to flee the State of Ohio. The
temple was all left behind.
"a store house of the Lord" as
Smith called it, was begun in 1881 and
by 1884 was completed. Its foundation
was laid on seven small ridges, or hills.
in imitation of the Rome of old The
dimensions were about 80 by 125 feet.
The stone walls are two feet thick.
The temple stands to-day about as It
was when built On the first Hoer Is
the main audience room, filled with
walnut benches, surrounded by high
railing The doors TO the pews have
locks or catches, so that when closed
whoever is speaking is reasonably sure
of holding his audience.
At each end Of the room a series of
elevated thrones, one rising above the
other, marks the position during wer-
ship used by the dignitaries of Joseph
Smiths reign. Rows of hooks La the
ceiling show how the curtains which
were once used were arranged to divide
the floor into four apartments.
The floor above Is bare and desolate
looking. About sixty chairs placed here
indicate that 1t is used as a sort Of
lecture hall, but in the days Of Smith
curtains divided this apartment Just as
below.
Rollers fastened to the ceiling Of this
second floor, together with a system Of
pulleys, enabled the operator to raise
or lower the curtains of both first and
second floors at the same time. In the
third story several partitions running
north and south make a number Of sep
arate chambers.
The Reorganized Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter Day Saints, the body
which worships in this temple new,
tries to follow literally the book Of
Mormon, which, be it known, prohibits
polygamy. The doctrine of plural wives
was one of Smiths revelations" Yet

HAS A SINGULAR LIBEL LAW.

Australia Protects Its Citizens Who
Have Small Pride of Ancestry.
The libel law of Australia Is the
queerest in the world. He who Is sued
for libel there must not only prove
that the accusations he published were
true, but also that to publish them
was for the public benefit. Elsewhere
the truth of the accusation alone needs
to be proved.
An Australian sheepraiser explain
ed this queer libel law at wool sale.
Australia was practically colonlzed
by convlcts," he said. "There Is 40 use
denying this. The colonizers of Aus
tralia were convicts in the main.
THE descendants of these convicts
are now Australians leading families,
the richest, the most influential, the
most intelligent, the most respected.
And yet these excellent people were
in the past at the mercy of every
editor. Let them get into the small
est squabble or dispute with some
editor and the man would bring them
into general ridicule and contempt by
printing their ancestry, by showing
that Sir John Smiths great-grand-
father had been sent out for robbing
an old woman of 81, or that Judge
Browns great-aunt, while employed as
n servant girl, had tried to poison her
masters son, with whom she was in
love.
1T Is undeniably true that the best
Australians have convict blood In their
veins. The newspapers that they quar-
relied with used to taunt them with
their convict blood. Hence the present
queer libel law, which protects them,
for, of course, it can never be fer the
public good to publish that the grand
mother of Judge So-and-So or the
great-uncle OF DR.. Blank was con-

ROPES A MOUNTAIN LION.
Ranchman Has n Strenuous Time
with IA Savage Beast.


Ranchman Has Strenuous Time
with IA Savage Beast.
1t was a foolish thing for him to do,
nor can he account for the notion that
possessed him, but Nate Gardner, a
Fall River County ranchman, roped a
mountain lion and had a strenuous time
later on, says the New York World
correspondent at Sioux Falls, S. d.
While riding across country Gardner
sighted the cat sneaking toward a
bunch of timber about 600 yards die
tant. The surprise of both man and
lion was mutual, and for a moment
they stood looking at each other. Then
the cat gave one Of It's screaming cries
and started for the trees.
Reused by the movement, Gardner
put spurs to his mount and pursued,
loosening up his lariat as he rode. He
made his east just as the lion was
about to enter the timber, and the rope
settled down over the head of the prey.
The trained cow-pony stopped with a
jerk, planted his feet, and when the
rope became taut the mountain hon
was thrown violently off its feet, turn
inglng a couple Of somersaults in the
air.
For a moment the animal lay still,
with the pony holding the rope braced
against 1t. But it was just for mo
ment, for, regaining its feet with q
jump, the fierce animal started for the
ranchman and his pony. The lien hat
Its ears laid back, Its fangs exposed
and emitted blood-curdling yells.
Then commenced a race for life II
needed no urging for the sturdy COW
pany to make start. Turning as If on
a pivot it took back track at mad
speed, with the mountain lion taking
! up the slack of the rope. 1t was q
pretty chase for about half mile
when the endurance of the pony and
the severity Of It's somersault throw
told on the mountain lion, which at last
found the pace too swift. The rope
again became taut as the lion dropped
behind, and 1t was not long before the
lion was dragged off It's feet.
The rest was easy. When the pony
finally was pulled up there was a deat
mountain lion dragging along at the
end OF the larat, thankful man or
the pony's back, and a pony relieved o
great fear.

Always Leaves Something In Ex-
change for What 1t Steals.
One Of the oldest little animals in
existence Is the California wood rat
better known as the trade rat" 1t
owes the latter name to the fact that
though 1t Is a great thief, it never
steals anything without putting some
thing else In Its place.
The story is told Of paste pot
which had been left over night In the
assay office at the Silver Queen mine
and which was found in the morning
filed with the oldest collection of rub
bish. This was the work of trade rats.
They had stolen the paste and left in
exchange a piece Of stick, a length of
rope, some odds and ends of Irvine and
an unbroken glass funnel.
The object of the trade rat in so
scrupulously paying for what he takes
Is something Of a mystery, but these
same rats certainly take the greatest
pleasure In the odds and ends which
they collect
A description IS given Of a trade rats
nest found in an unoccupled house. The
outside was composed entirely Of iron
spikes laid In perfect symmetry, with
the points outward. Interlaced with
the spikes were about two dozen forks
and spoons and three large butcher
knives.

Che Development Of
Schooner Construction.

Paper Read Before tne Chautauqua Circle
T is not the intention of the writer
to cover the entire field of marine
architecture, but confine his inves-
tlgation to that era of ship building
beginning with the close of the Civ
War, 1865. The period omitted is al
extremely interesting one, embracing
the marine architecture from 1895 70
1845. The period of the caravels that
brought Columbus to our shores and
the beginning of the fine line in the
two-masted schooner that also devel-
oped the era of clipper ship construc-
tiOn.
At the close of the Civil War, the
finest and largest schooners engaged in
our coastwise traffic were about 200
tons burden, 100 feet long, 30 feet
beam, and 10 feet depth of hold and
could carry about 25O tons of coal.
The numerous and magnificent fleet of
clipper ships that before the war had
carried our flag to all ports of the
globe, had been swept from the seas
by the Confederate Cruisers Alabama
and Florida; those remaining in the
harbors of Boston, New York and Phil
adelphia. were put out of commission,
later to be used as coal barges. Thus
you see, there was no further develop
ment along the lines of the clipper
ship. There has been progress and de-
velOpment, but it has been enforced BY
the stern laws of commercial necessity
along the lines of the fore and aft
rigger.
When it was demonstrated to skep-
tical public that iron and steel mould
ed along the lines of ship would float
and not sink as it was the popular be-
lief, then began the era of steel steam
ship construction that has forever
effaced any other method of ocean
transportation. But with our great
length of coasts, our rivers and lakes
bordering on populous cities and farm
ing communities, there still was an
opportunity for our domestic sailing
vessels to compete with steamships if
naval architecture could produce the
right kind of vessel. 1t is to the credit
of Boston shipbuilders and their ma
rine architects, that we have today en-
plOyed in the coastwise trade a splen-
did fleet of four, five, six and seven
masted schooners that are the pride of
the merchant princes of the North At
lantic States
Speaking from naval standpoint in
regard to sailing vessels, there has been
