Tourists Whe Do Their Mountain
Climbing by Telescope.
The tourist OF today who visits the
Alps and who lacks the physical en-
durance or whose time is too limited
to make the ascent Of some Of the IA
nous peaks nevertheless is able closely
to survey the panorama Of mountain
scenery through the medium of power

Of the mountain railroads. BY this

culIar formations OF these historic
Mountains may be carefully studied.

proach them within many miles.
Each Of these mountain telescopes is
mounted on a forked cradle and is so
nicely balanced that it's position may
readily be fixed by the tightening Of
small thumbscrews after the focus
has been adjusted with a band wheel.
The magnifying power OF the instru-
ments varies from 35 to 116 diameters.

tion only.
When weather conditions are suita-
BILE, climbers on the Titlis may be seen
through the telescope at UetIiberg,
near Zurich, a distance Of forty miles,
and the hotel on the FaulhOrn, sixty
miles away, may be recognized. Every
step of the toilers on the slopes Of the
Matterhorn can be followed by means

ANATOMY.
A More or Less Helpful Lesson For
Beginners.

A More or Less Helpful Lesson For
Beginners.
Proceeding In a southerly direction
from the torso, we have the hips, use
ful for padding, and the legs. The
legs hold up the body and are some
times used in walking. but when rid
ing in automobiles they take up valu-
able space which otherwise might be
employed to better advantage.
Attached to the legs are the feet.
Some varieties OF feet are cold. Some
people are born with cold feet, others
acquire cold feet, and still others have
cold feet thrust upon them.
The surface Of the body is covered
with cuticle, which either hangs in
graceful loops or is stretched tightly
from bone to bone.
On the face 1t is known as complex
ion and is used extensively for COM
merctal purposes by dermatologists,
painters and decorators.
Between the cuticle and the bones
are the muscles, which hold the bones
together and prevent them from fall
ing out and littering up the sidewalk
as we walk along.
Packed neatly and yet compactly in
side the body are the heart, the liver
and the lungs; also the gall, which in
Americans is abnormaIy large.
These organs are used occasionally
by the people who own them, but
thefE real purpose is to furnish sur
geons living.-Thomas L. Mason IN

A REAL CLoUDBURST.
One That Descended Upon a Mountain
In Scotland Tore Up Earth

What a real cloudburst is like is de-
scribed by a Scotland correspondent Of
Country Life: "a cloudburst Of ex-
Ceptional size descended on the Cairns
gorm mountains, and an old watcher, !
who has his hut almost exactly wherei
the cloud burst. gives the following de-
tails: On July 10, 1901, the morningl
opened brilliantly fine and warm, with
a cloudless sky and brilliant sunshine.
but toward noon heavy clouds formed |
on the hills, and 1t rapidly became sci
dark that IT was almost impossible tol
read. He was standing in the door of
his hut, when suddenly he heard from |
the hill across the glen a report like a !
thunderclap, followed by a noise ike
the tearing OF linen, only q thousand
times louder and more majestic IN
sound Then he noticed that a solid
mass OF water had struck the hilltop,
and part OF It, bounding up again with
the force of the impact. had descended
on the hilltop Immediately behind his
hut. Immediately afteTward a tre-
mendous volume Of water came pour
ing down both hillsides. forming great
riffs IN the hills as It swirled. irresisti-
bic IN it's course, down rocks and
stones. The channel the food scooped
out was in places quite twelve feet
deep, and large rocks were tossed down
its course as If they had been pebbles.
The sand and stones brought down By
the water so damned up the river Dee
that quite an extensive loch was
formed. During the time OF the cloud
burst the weather a mile or two up the
glen remained fine, but to the south
the clouds were black as night"
