Rev. d. d. Vaughan, the pastor, is de.
termined to marry the single men and
women of his flock. He asked more
than one hundred single women a
series of questions on the subject of

out from 100 men their idea of the

Cisterns of Hot Water,


OF ever-increasing interest to nat
ural curiosity seekers are the Hot
Pots, about three miles from Heber
City, Utah.
This region is level plain, upon
the surface of which arise in strange
confusion numbers of conical-shaped
cisterns, the largest Of them being
all of fifty feet N height, one hundred
feet in diameter at the top and twice
that at the base, and containing in
their dark depths immense volumes
of water, heated to a high tempera-
ture in the furnaces of the earth. The
waters contain the usual chemical
properties of thermal springs, and
are used for Jathing and drinking.
These pots evidently have been
formed by the slow deposition through
countless centuries of the silica and
soda which enter into the composition
of the waters. They grow in height
steadily with years, and present a
most interes ting spectacle of natures
strange creative methods. The Hot
Pots are found in the midst of culti-
Ndteu anu llllN lnS llOl-
withstanding the peculia' rocklike
soil composition.
One OF the marked peculiarities of
the region is the hollow, rumbling
sound caused by carriages and horses
as they llove over the roadways for
miles around. rs there an enormous
cavern jul below the surface, and
will 1t ever cave in?" is the anxious
inquiry Of every visitor, alarmed at
the strange Underground sounds.

SVEN HEDlN AWED TIBGTANS.
BY Venturing Upon the Waters in a
Boat with Wings.

St. Petersburg, Russia.-Sven He'd
route to Stockholm, chatting about his
travels said the English acted very IL.
logically in their recent dealings with
Tibet. They took it and then gave it
up. The result is that China, whose
influence and authority there have
been slack and waning for centuries,
is now taking a firm hold again-in
fact is renewing the grip of steel in
which the early Mauchu emperors
held the country.
Among the main causes of Hedin's
immunity from the hostility to for
eigners which practically makes it i'm
possible for others to explore Tibet
was a simple incident which, quite un-
designedly on his part, made the ma
tives ascribe miraculous powers to
him. He said:
"I made several expeditions in a
boat on the great lake in the interior
of Tibet ano there quickly spread re.
markable legends throughout the
country about foreign lama who had
power over the elements and wings
with which he could fly on the wa
ters The Tibetans came to believe
that commanded the weather, thanks
to my boating trips, for they had new
er seen boat of any kind before ant
never dreamed of venturing upon the
waters of their inland seas themselves
in any way"

Rance Of Eyesiuht.

Those who are curious in such mat
ters may be interested in testing the
correctness of the conclusions of DR..
Schneider of Munich concerning the
distance at which people can be rec
ognized by their faces and figures.
II you have good eyes. he says, you
cannot recognize person whom you
have seen but once before at a
greater distance than twenty-five
metres (eighty-two feet)- If the per-
son is well known to you, you may
recognize him at from fifty to 10C
metres, and If 1t is a member Of your
family, even at $50 metres. The white
of the eyes may be seen at from
twenty-seven to twenty-etght metres
and the eyes themselves at seventy
two to seventy-three metres. The DIFF
ferent parts of the body and th<
slightest movements are distinguish
able at ninety-one metres The limbs
show at IL metres. At $40 metres {
moving man appears only as in inde
finite form. and at 720 metres-2,S ,SoL'

no longer visible.

particularly the programme of the
coming hours.
To begin with, 80 minutes were to
be devoted to a bath and dressing in
his rooms. This was something not so
unpleasant to contemplate. 1t was the
afterwards that repealed him: Dinner
at Sherry's, the subsequent tour of
roof gardens, the late supper at a club,
and then, prolonged far into the small
hours, the session around some green
covered table in a close room reeking
with the fumes of good tobacco and
hot with the fever of gambling. .
Abstractedly Maitland frowned
tersely summing up: "Beastly!"-in
an undertone.
At this the green car wheeled alb
ruptly round a corner below Thirty
fourth street, slid half block or more
east, and came to palpitating halt.
Maitland, looking up, recognized the
entrance to his apartments, and sighed
with relief for the brief respite from
boredom that was to be his. He rose,
negligently shaking off his buster,
and stepped down to the sidewalk.
Somebody in the car called a
warning after him. and turning for
moment he stood at attention, an eve
dropping from corner of his mouth,
hat pushed back from his forehead,
hands in coat pockets; a tall, slender,
sparsely built figure of a man, clothed
immediately in f1annels
When at length he was able to make
himself heard: Good enough he said
clearly, though without raising his
voice. "Sherry's in an hour. Right.
Now, behave yourselves
Mind you show up on timei"
Never fear" returned Maitland over
his shoulder.
A witticism was flung back at him
from the retreating car, but spent
itself unregarded. Maitland's atten-
ton was temporarily distracted by the
unuSual-to say the least-sight OF
young and attractive woman coming
out of home for confirmed bachelors.
The apartment house happened to
be his own property. A substantial
and old-fashioned edifice, situated in
the middle of a quiet block, it CON
