In all the world there is no tourist
resort comparable to Yellowstone Ma
uonal park. 1t is unique among the
scenic regions of the world because, |
In addition to most of the attractions
OF the others, it has, besides, the
most wonderful natural phenomena
known to scientists. It's streams and
valleys are not surpassed in beauty
by any in the Old World. It's road
ways and hotels are equal to those
or the favorite resorts of continent
al Europe. Its area includes, in ad.
d1t1on wonderful geysers, hot springs,
and the Grand canyon of the Yellow
stone. OF that mighty gorge, noted
Tor Its riot of color, for artistic and
beautiful nature-harmony, there is
nothing men have written that is ade-
quately descriptive. Words are triv-
ial and weak when one experiences
the overwhelming sensation produced
by first glimpse of its wonders. In
all the world there is no more start.

Flaq Proportions.

Tn the United States flag the width of a stripe Is invariably half the length in inches of the flags longest measure ment For example. in a flag ten feet long the stripes should be i've inches wide. Accordingly the flag would have a width of five feet five inches. or thir- teen times i've inches. The field should be of navy blue bunting meas uring seven stripes deep and extending two fths across the length of the flag There should be forty-six stars on the field. arranged in six rows. beginning with eight. the two middle rows hav- ing eight and the last row eight and the other rows seven The size of the star at its widest measurement should be such that one-half of it's own width will separate 1t from the next star. Flags may be made in all sizes, but the above proportions should be pre- served.-Philadelphis Press.

 "Yes." he replied. ''I know every foot of It."

The Dazzling SearchIiaht.

On a dark night no warship would be safe from torpedo attack but for the .searchiight- The full moon lights up a torpedo boat so that 1t can be fired at when nearly mile away. To produce the same illumination with the most powerful artificial light an electric arc of 100000 candle power placed three-quarters Of a mile high would be needed If the aid of mirrors were not available. But with this light and an ingenious arrangement of mirrors it is possible to surpass the moon. Searchlights are now made which throw light a distance of sixty three miles. but objects can be seen only a few miles from the source of the light The effect on the enemy Is most demoralizing. When the bright beam Is suddenly thrown on the eye the pupil contracts violently; when the beam is removed the eye can see noth- ing. If this be repeated few times it takes all the nerve out of a man. so that only the best trained and most courageous can continue the attack London Answers
