The San Francisco call., 1909-11-06
BY HAROLD FRENCH

THE boys who live in Berkeley, and
the girls as WELL are doubly fortu-
nate. Besides enjoying all the
sport that is going on in the great uni
yersity, they have grand range of
mountains at their back door. Most
of the younger folk know the way to
Wildcat canyon and the panorama
viewing Grizzly peak, but there are
many in San Francisco and Oakland
who have yet to climb to that Bean
stalk land where stretch the prehis-
toric walls which giants might have
built.
THE WAY TO WILDCAT CANYON
Starting from North Berkeley, at an
elevation of nearly $50 feet above the
bay. Vine street ascends steeply to
Euclid avenue, where a road winds
to the left and into the hills. In a
moment you step from concrete side
walks into the woody canyon of Cor
donices creek. Following the road
straight up for few hundred yards
you will reach a point where you can
look down into the depths of a great
yawning quarry Here scores of men
are hard at work blasting out the
volcanic rock called andesite which Is
used for macadamizing the streets Of
Berkeley. Turn toward the northeast
past the quarry and you will find an
old road which rises gently TO low
pass, 90 feet above the Golden gate,
which opens wide TO the west and
through which you may see the blue
horizon of the ocean rising to the
level Of your eyes. Below you to the
eastward lies the wide canyon of Wild
cat creek. You may trace it's course
from it's fountains which well from the
wrinkled dome of Baldy. It's summit
is ! $50 feet in elevation and overtops
the other ridges of the Contra Costa
hills, rising nearly 200 feet above
Grizzly peak which being nearer to
Berkeley masks the higher up from
view Surveying the canyon with your
eyes you will notice that ii narrows
a mile to the northward TO gorge.
where a shaggy cliff looms like a
miniature Eel Captain far above the
clustering oaks and alders, bays and
buckeyes at it's base. A descending
wagon road will take you down near
the stream, whose course you should
follow by a trail on the eastern side
1T will lead you for three quarters of
a mile around the northern side of
Cave hill to a ranchhouse, from which
one road winds backward the way YOU
came, while the other crosses the
range through the great eucalyptus
forest, passing reservoir on the crest,
and descending TO North Berkeley.
Cave hill is worth walking many
miles TO see. 1t is a mass OF lava
known as traehyte, rising for several
hundred feet sheer above the stream.

caves, some of which are as large as
a good sized room. A few of these
caverns you will find quite interesting
to explore, but the higher ones are not
worth while taking chances of accident
by climbing to them, for the face of
the rock is very treacherous and will
crumble in your hands. Once these
caves were sort of so story apart
ment house, where many happy fam
lilies of wildcats lived and whose
numbers gave the canyon it's name.
To this day a few of their descendants
make their homes in the halls of their
ancestors. Securely hidden in the i'm
penetrable jungle, clothing the north
east slopes, few wild kittens play
hide and seek while their brindled pa
rents forage for furred and feathered
dainties for their supper.
There are several fine waterfalls in
Wildcat canyon, which are at their
best in the spring time when a later
article may tell how to reach them and
yet avoid the boggy places near by.
One of these, locally known as the
Trinity falls, is located almost directly
down from the pass through which you
entered the canyon.
POWER POLES LEAD TO SAN PABLO
Beyond the great red quarry a Sc
ries of electric power transmitting
poles cross the Berkeley hills to Wild
cat creek, two miles and a half distant
from Bergman station. over the San
Pablo ridge these landmarks point the
way to the picturesque valley where
lies Orinda park. If you would like to
plunge into canyons where the autumn
woods are in their glory follow these
poles to the eastern slope Of the Badly
range. There you will find golden ma
pies, sycamores and alders lining the
course of the streams. Madrone ber-
ries grow round and red in some of the
gulches. If you would gather an autumn
bouquet explore some cool northern
slope where the first frost has tinged
the leaves. A few branches of the rus
set blackberry vines entwined around
the leaves will hold them secure, while
the more delicate ones may be carried
most safely between the pages Of a
composition book. A garland OF moss
will add greatly TO the charm of the
forest spoil while sprig OF mistletoe
If you are fortunate enough TO find the
old oak trees where they grow, will cap
the climax. The moss and autumn
leaves will decorate your room very
beautifully, and as for the mistleoe.
you'll know the best place for that. Re
turning from Orinda park you will find
a trail starting up the ridge back of the
1,500 feet high, from which you may
descend the east fork of Wildcat TO the
wagon road, or the power poles, that
take you swiftly home.
The walk for November l3 will be
through the continuous woods OF Bear
valley, Marin county.

Time at the North Pole.

At the north pole time is nothing. and if one were residing at the north pole it would be unnecessary to wind one's watch. You are always at F o'clock and can't walk out of the ho- tel without walking south. All times of day meet at the pole as the meeting place of all the meridians. A man sit ting with the invisible mathematical point right under him would be in all twenty-four hours at once, or a twen- ty-four hour watch placed on the pole could be made to point to the correct time in every part of the world. There used to be something of an approxi- nation to this in the extreme north of Norway. where the degrees of longi- tude squeeze in, until recent days. Cap tains of Norwegian coasting schooners will tell you how inconvenient it was to change between the time of Hol- land at Bergen and that of Crete at the North cape while correct local time was maintained General Norwe- gian time became indispensable.

"Yes. gentlemen" said he, there is nothing like travel to expand the mind. Now. I don't suppose. for instance. that many of you have ever seen a beet root putting on a waistcoatT' His fellow passengers stared in surprise. "No; we certainly have not" "Or q lettuce donning a pair of trousers?'' Nor '-Or a spring onion fixing on its tie and coIlarr' ''No. not even thatr' Well. gentlemen" said the traveller as the train drew up at the terminus and he prepared to alight, you may believe me or not, as you like. but several times in my travels I have seen not only q beet root or a lettuce or an onion but a whole salad dresslngr'- London Mall.

Dummy at Linen Shower
 Made of Household Goods

Manufactured almost wholly of various household utensils. a dummy formed the principal feature of the linen shower given yesterday fin honor of Miss Dora Coles of Hartford. soon to become the bride of George Hindle of that city. The silent partner as the dummy was called was made of a broom. the head being a drawing of a very natural face. In the place of shoulders two laths had been nail ed. and finely shaped body had been made of paper. To each shoulder a pancake shovel had been attached. and large spoons formed the arms. these being covered with tea towels pinned in the shape of bell sleeves. Upon the head was a gorgeous sweeping cap with deep ruffle.
 A cheese cloth duster covered the shoulder as a fichus and was fastened in front with a cooky cutter. Tea and coffee strainers hung from each side of her head and served as ear rings. A dustinR bag hung from one arm. while in the pocket of her apron were a wash cloth and a bar of soap. On the apron strings were fastened an egg beater. a pairing knife and a whisk broom. while all about were strewn the various articles for kitchen use, and above on a placard hung the name of the silent partner"
 Among those present were: Galucia Hurst Alice Vera Bundock. Hilda Comstock. Flora Grace. Bertha De Compe, Anna Grace. Catherine An derson Grace Bartlett. Alice Brisbois, Grace Hindle. and Dora Coles.

enteI ,.rnrns and Hosprl.iity.

I have no sympathy with the tired murmur of the straining wohen who speak of entertaining as "a duty to society,". We all have duties to socie- ty, but entertaining Is not one of them. There is no. more obligation for a wo- man to entertain than there is for a man to swap horses with neighbor. The conditions as they now exist are Identical. The neighbor may desire to swap his horse, but no man feels bound on that account to exchange his own for 1t against his wish. Since have recognized the market value of my own horse and how much I am al- ways expected to give ''to boot" I never swap.
 The real and usually neglected duty to society is hospitality, and that has an important distinction from enter taining. 1t is hospitality only when the entertainment is without hope of reward. The moment the host hopes to receive in exchange even a good opinion, little affection or admira- ton it ceases to be hospitality and be- comes entertaining. The foundation of hospitality must be perfect unself- ishness-
 The question left us to solve in indi- vidual cases is, Which will give the most satisfaction as society is now or agnized ?-Ethel Davis in Dishonesty and Caste"
