"Calm yourself, Gretchen. Try to

you will land in a lunatic asylum"
s'But to think of Heinrich being put

How can l throw that off my mind?
We must find way to get this new
evidence before the court"
'That is impossible, sweetheart We
have had the last rehearing Of the
case, and it is closed. Do try to make
up your mind to bear it. You will not

had not spoken Of love and no one
suspected them of being lovers, still
Marie hid a secret in her heart. She
alone knew that she loved Carl. But
she must not display her feelings as
her sister did.

Glaciers.

It has been demonstrated that the
glacier does not move in one block,
but flows, accommodating itself to the
channel in which 1t moves. Professor
Tyndall planted row Of sticks in a
straight line across a glacier, and after
few days the line had become q
crescent, with the concavity upward,
showing that the middle of the glacier
moved faster than the sides, just as In
a river the stream is stronger in the
center.

Going through the country on tue Arizona side of the river, for several miles below Yuma, one encounters the same type of country and soil that is found in the Imperial Valley country around Braw'ey, Calexico and other points west of the river The fertility Of the black prairie soils of Hi nois has astonished people engaged in agri- culture for nearly one hundred years. The fertility of the valleys of the Nile has been matter of history for at least 6Oe0 years. Those who are faInilinr with Illinois prairie soil, and those who know what the valley of the Nle is for agriculture know that this lower Colorado River region surpasses both of them.
 If you ask a farmer along this stretch of country if the soil is six feet, his eyes will open with astOnishment ai your ignorance He win tell you no one knows whether it is 50 feet, 500 or 6,eo0 feet deep It is practically without bottom. It is so thoroughly well mixed with sand, disintegrated granite and other rocks that it never breaks.
