In the study of nature, as elsewhere,
familiarity breeds contempt. The most
effective natural forces work SO silent
ly and so constantly that we are in
great danger OF not being properly i'm
pressed by the magnitude Of their OPP
erations. A drop of water is a small
thing, and each one accompIishes but
the tiniest amount of work, yet, as
continual dropping will wear stone,
and as the drops of water which fall
upon the earth are innumerable and
come down in constant succession, the
total work accomplished surpasses the
highest fights of imagination.
The amount of water which falls
from the clouds and flows down to
lower levels in river beds and torren-
tial streams varies greatly in differ
ent parts of the world, and in each
locality is greatly affected by special
conditions. In mountainous coun-
try the slope is so steep that nearly
all the rainfall finds it's way into the
stream beds, and comes down to the
plains in torrents after every shower
or every melting of the snow upon
the summit. The effect of these tor
rents is prodigiOus. Stones many feet
In diameter are rapidly rolled down
the sleeper slopes and even carried
far out upon the plain, and deep gorges
are rapidly worn in the solid rock. One
will find great accommodations of bowl
ders spread out upon the lawlands
about the mouths of all mountain
streams.
The most impressive of all gorges
produced by river erosion is that of
the Grand Canyon of the Colorado
which for 800 miles flows in chan
mel of its own cutting 5000 feet Tor
more than mile) deep; while tribu-
taries from every side enter it through
narrow gorges of equal depth. On the
Pacific slope there are many other
river gorges approaching this in mag
nftude. Both forks of the American
river have cut gorges through solid
slate from 1000 to 5000 feet in depth
The canyon of the MERGED river, where
it flows through the Yosemite valley,
is bordered with perpendicular gran
lite cliffs from 5000 to 5000 feet in
height; while the Grand Canyon of

COMPELLED TO BE PUNcTUAL
Business Men Come to Look Upon
Habit as a Virtue, But Their
Wives Do Not.

Most men are compelled to be
punctual, otherwise they lose oppor-
tunities and often their jobs. Thus
men get the habit of punctuality, and
they come to regard it as one of the
cardinal virtues. Most women are I'M
der no such compulsion, and the hab-
1t is accordingly, in many cases, I'M
developed. The instinct to do things
ION the minute" is lacking. The for
mula lin a minute" takes its place,
says the editor of the Ladies' Home
Journal. The result is that men and
women come to have different ideals
of right conduct. The woman seems
to the man to be deficient in a spe-
cies of morals TO which he attaches
great value. Her unpunctuality irri-
tates him out of all proportion to the
offense. The compositOr who sets
up the familiar verse: They also
serve" so that it read: They also
swear who only stand and wait" had
been standing and waiting and swear
ing. OF this state of mind his wife
had been but dimly conscious. The
hour for dinner had gone by, or an
agreement to leave at 1880 had final
1y found the clock at 8, and the man
was mad. 1t is not wise to make the
man mad without necessity. Domes-
tic tragedies are commonly accumula-
tions of small distastes, added togeth-
er during term of years. Domestic
happiness depends on minor morals,
on consideration for even unreason-
able feelings, and is much assisted
by a conscientious punctuality. The
man who answered the question:
why do married men live longer
than single menu" by saying: They
don't live longer; it only seems long
err" had an unpunctual wife.

taken place in recent times, we may
mention the coast of New Jersey
which is sinking at the rate of about
two feet century. This is evident
from the advance of the water upon
the coast line, and from the burial of
large trees in the New Jersey sWamps
which formerly grew on dry land, but
are now sunk many feet below water
level. DR.. Robert Bell brings evidence
to prove that the land about Hudson
and James bay is rising at at rate of
from five to seven feet a century.
The southern coast of Greenland is
slowly sinking, while that of Scandi-
navia is rising. Darwin has shown
that the eastern coast of South Amer
lea has been rising since the glacial
period. In 1922 100000 square miles
along more than 100 miles of the
western coast was permanently raised
three or four feet by single earth
quake shock. In 1919 the bed of the
Indus at it's mouth was sunk 10 feet
and the village and port of Sindree
permanently submerged, while por-
ton of the delta of the Indus SO miles
long and 16 broad was elevated ten
feet About 1912, Following numerous
earthquakes in the vicinity of New
Madrid, on the west side of the Mis-
sissippi river, a little below it's juno
ton with the Ohio, stretch of country
800 miles long was so affected by
earthquakes that numerous tracts
were sunk down and others raised, so
that many new lakes and islands were
formed and the bed of the Mississippi
much changed.

Supreme Court Decisions.

supreme court decisions.
The state supreme court has de-
clared unconstitutional the law which
requires railroad companies to give
employees written notice of the cause
of their discharge. The law was pass
ed to prevent blacklisting of en-
ployes. The case was brought by A
w. Brown of Emporia against the
Santa Fe. Brown, a brakeman, was
discharged for accepting money from
a tramp for riding on a freight train.
He secured a verdict against the COM
pany in the district court
The supreme court has decided that
the state may collect money from the
estates of insane persons who are
held in the state institutions. The
case was one from Ottawa in which
the administrator of Peter Kaiser
who died in the asylum, was sued for
$4,000 for his maintenance. The state
will now be enabled to collect many
thousands of dollars annually for the
maintenance of insane persons who
have property.
The supreme court has allowed it's
receivers for the Lemp brewery a
fee of $1,000 and costs of the receiv-
ership and ordered the property Of
the company in Kansas sold. The re-
ceivers named to take charge of the
brewers property have received TO-
tai of $20,750 in fees since the begin
ming of their work.

Double Poll Tax Question.

Double Poll Tax Question.
Attorney General Fred S. Jackson
is puzzling over a peculiar situation
growing out of the new poll tax law
passed by the last legislature Under
this law first and second class cities
do not levy a poll tax but must pass
an ordinance to obtain the money
All country road districts and third
class cities collect the money without
any such legal procedure. There is
at present a sort of poll tax of one
dollar for each male citizen author
lied for each city of the first and sec
and class. This money goes into the
general revenue fund, while the regu-
lar poll tax goes into the road fund
The question which is asked of the at.
torney general is if cities can collect
both taxes, one of dollar from each
male person for the general revenue.
and the other of three dollars year
to be devoted to the improvement of
the streets. The poll tax can be used
in all first and second class cities
for keeping up dirt streets and keep
ing paved streets clean. Mr.. Jackson
has not yet answered the question.

SOLID ROCK SAWN BY WATER

BY GEORGE FREDERICK WRIGHT A. NJ, L. D.
Joseph b RowIesl
The Hays free press. [volume] (Hays, Kan.) 1908-1924, 1909-06-12

Kings river is from 5000 to 1000 feet
hard granite.
We have been accustomed to speak
of such gorges as produced by con
WILSON'S" of nature; and there are
many chasms in the earth's surface
which have been produced in that
manner, of which the valley of the Jor-
dan is a conspicuous example. But
the impresSiveness of canyons pro-
duced by the steady action of slower
causes is even greater than that of
those produced by a sudden convul-
sion. When one reflects upon it, how
ever, the process seems very simple,
and the effects not at all extravagant;
for geological time is long. If a river
saws down through the rocks and low
ers its bed foot in 1000 years (Which
is almost inconceivably slow it would
produce a gorge 1000 feet deep in
1000, 900 years; whereas if it lowered
its bed foot in 200 years it would
produce a canyon 5000 feet deep in
100000 years. We can easily imag-
inc the rate to be many times more
rapid. In comparison with the river
gorges which We have mentioned that
below Niagara falls seems very insig-
nificant and of very recent date.
The Niagara gorge, extending from
Lewiston up to the present cataract,
is but seven miles and half long and
about 800 feet deep; yet this is all the
work that has been done by that
mighty river since the drainage of the
great lakes began to flow in that direc-
ton. Recent surveys have shown that
the falls are wearing back at the rate
of nearly five feet a year; thus show
ing that, if present forces have been in
operation constantly, this cataract can
not be over 1000 or 5000 years old.
The Falls of ST. Anthony at Minneapo-
lis have worn back, for the Mississippi
river, narrow gorge of similar length
and dimensions and at about the same
rate. If the other gorges mentioned
show by their vast extent the great
length of geological time, these gorges
illustrate by their diminutive extent
the regency of some of the most mar
velous events in geological history.

In Trouble over the Bonds.

Kansas state bankers are having
trouble finding municipal bonds to put
up with the state guaranty fund. No
bonds will be taken by the guaranty
fund which would not be acceptable
by the state school fund Just now
municipalities in Kansas are not issu.
ing many bonds. especially in blocks
where they can be handld easily by
the banks.
Each bank must put up $500
bond. The largest banks will have
to put up from $4,000 to $1,000 in
bonds. 1t all depends upon the
amount of the deposits. The law re
quires $500 in bonds for each 500, 900
deposits.

Tho Lie of n Tree.

How long will a tree live? Have you
ever thought about that? An eminent
French botanist said recently that, bar
ring accidents and the ravages of in
sects, tree would live on indefinitely.
Gray, almost eminent authority, says
that a tree is virtually immortal 1t
annually renews its youth, new layers
being regularly formed at it's circum-
ference. While this new formation goes
on it matters not that the old central
part of the tree decays. Many people
among whom the editor is to be count
ed-look on a tree with a sentimental
as well as a practical interest. The
idea of its Immortality is specially
pleasing to them and to see one fall
under the axe of the executiOner is rs
painful, almost, as 1t is to see living
being die. There are many reasons why
all boys and girls should love trees.
