Observations Of a Kansas Man

To one from the North and East,

round of subjects for contrast, some
times falling short aud many times in
advance. and to those who appreciate
flowers, especially wild varieties in
their natural state, there Is much of in.
terest. This Is true of almost any To-
cality, but here in the semi-arid south
west IL is Of more than ordinary inter
est TO note how the wise old nurse,
"Mother Earth" contrives to rear her
children. the flowers, and arrange for
their reproduction and perpetuation.
The rainy season here in Southern New
Mexico begins about July lst-we
sometimes have showers in the spring.
but they are the exception rather than
the rule-and some OF the deep-r rooted
kinds struggle into bloom, but the wind
absorhs the moisture from the surface
and the more delicate varieties seem to
understand the situation and "bide
their time"
But almost Immediately with the
coming OF the rain the earth leaps into
life and the scene is made bright and
joyous with flowers. Then il becomes
never waning delight to watch the
cycles Of the flowers. They must make
the most Of their time. Varieties sue
coed each other at rapid intervals
Some remain several weeks, but many
run their race in week some in a
day or two. Living among them one
can watch the jolly procession and re-
greet the passing Of one gaily decorated
chariot. when the next lovely galaxy
appears.
From dormant seed to springing
stalk and opening flower, brief flirta.
ton with the sun and breeze, the last
tightly folded buds shake open to the
bees, then a little shower Of faded pet
ais. and the seeds are mature.
This may be the story Of but a few
short days. Spring, summer and au
tumn crowded into the space Of short,
hilarious season. This is the way plants
adapt themselves to the condition oI
the Southwest. And yet they say ma
lture never gets in hurry"

St Johns, y. F. June 3.-Battling for forty
hours against pack Of hunger-ma ddened dogs
on ice pack off the coast of Labrador with
the temperature 10 degrees below zero and only
4 knife to defend himself from being torn to
pieces by the brutes. is the thrilling experience
that DR.. wilfred GrenfelI, the celebrated mis-
sionary- physician recently passed through. The
story Of DR.. Grenfelrs escape from death is told
10y Captain W. Bartlett OF the steamer Strath-
coma, which has just arrived here from the
north. Captain Bartlett with Commander
Peary on several of his expeditions to the Arctic
DR. Grenfe had left Battle Harhor Labrador
to attend several patients at another settlement
ten miles distant. and WAS travelling over the
ice with pack of dogs. when he found himself
driven off the coast by a moving ice field. Be
fore he realized it he in area covered
with broken drift ice, and before he could stop
the dogs the animals had carried him into the
water The dogs attempted to climb Dr.
GrenfelIs back. and he obliged fight the
animals before he was able to climb on TO a
solid piece of drift ice. The dogs also succeeded
in saving themselves.
The wind was blowing gale from the north
west. the temperature was 10 below zero, and
night was at hand. Taking off his skin boots
DR.. Grenfen cut them in halves and placed the
pieces over his back and chest to shield those
parts Of his body from the blast. AS the wind
and cold increased. when night came on, he de
termned 10 kill three of the dogs to afford him
more warmth and to supply the other beasts
with food fearing that, becoming hungry, they
would tear him to pieces.
AS it was they attacked him savagely, and
he bitten terribly about the hands and legs.
The doctor spent a trying night. He wrapped
himself up in the skins of the dead dogs, but
still found il cold that he repeatedly had
to run about the ice to keep up the circulation.
Hoping that next day he would be in sight of
land though the ice fast recedng from
the shore the doctor took the legs of the dead
dogs and binding them together. made pole,
to the top Of which he attached part of his
shirt 10 a signal. This eventually
proved to be his salvation. the flag was
seen by George Reid and others of Lockes

ZOLA,S BODY MOVED.
Thousands Outside the Pantheon
Police Repel attack.

Paris June 3-The body of Emile Zola was
moved tonight from the cemetery OF Mont
rnartre in a plain hearse to the Pantheon The
widow and other members of the family ana
a few intimate friends followed the coffin, which
was placed on a high catafalque in the middle
of the transept.
Thousands of persons who had assembled
around the Pantheon raised cheers and groans
the cheers predominating as the hearse passed
Major and Nine Dreyfus were among those
present in the Pantheon. They passed unper-
ceived among the crowd.
Rands of students roughs and others, sup
porters and opponents of Zola's views paraded
the main thoroughfares in the Latin quarter
frequently coming to blows, and keeplnS 2
large extra force OF police busy Shortly before
midnight a determined attempt was made to
storm the approaches of the Pantheon TO the
accompaniment OF the ''Marseillaise" and cries
of Throw him in the sewers. but the police
soon rounded up the rioters and drove them
away.
The street leading to the Pantheon was
guarded and patrolled all night, no one being
allowed TO pass. About forty students were
arrested and kept in the station house until
they had cooled down.
1t has been decided to increase the police
guards at the ceremony in the morning. In
structions have been issued that any one at
tempting to create a disturbance shall be ar
rested Immediately
The body will be watched all night by friends
OF the writer. 1t has been decided to close
the Pantheon after the ceremony tomorrow
and to reopen it on Saturday for the admission
of the public.
The rabid anti-Semltic journal, La Lihre
Parole" published extra denouncing the
government and parliament in the foulest terms
Df nra rH.ar-
acterizing it as an infamy which will convert
the Pantheon into a sewer. It appeals to the
people to demonstrate against this insult to the
country Other former anti -Dreyfis papers are
heaping insults the memory of Zola as
traducer of France in his novels.

HUNGRY FOR RECORDS.
Mauretania and La ProJenCe Nay
Race OUer Long Course.

The fast turbine steamship Mauretania of the
Cunard Line which arrived here on Monday
night after breaking three records. and was IN
able TO dock until 1:30 a. m Tuesday. took
aboard the last bucketful of her six thousand
tons of coal for her eastward trip last night at
6 o'clock She arrived here three days behind
her schedule time because of sOjourn in dry
dock in Liverpool, and her sailing day from New
York had to be changed from yesterday to to-
day
1t was thought because of her inability TO dock
on Monday night that she would be unable TO
coal on time but Captain Roberts. the port cap
tain of the Cunard Line. said last night that she
was ready to sail on schedule time. which is 10
O'Clock this morning.
1t is believed that she will make a record
eastward run to Daunt's Rock. using the three
of her four prOpellers that brought her westward
with three records to her credit.
The big Cunarder however. is not the only
steamer to leave port to-day that is preparing
for a record The French line steamship La
Provence. which boasts of beating the Deutsch-
land over the long course, will do her best TO
give the MauTetania a close run, as she sails
to-day simultaneously with the swift Cunard
vessel at 10 a. m. The French vessel has made
the run TO the Lizard in six days two hours and
forty-eight minutes. with average speed or
p 50 knots Besides the Mauretaina and La
Provence there will be three other big transat-
lantic liners leaving port to-day at the same
hour.
