In the Cumberland Lodge portion of
the royal gardens at Windsor there is a
vine, known all over England as the
Cumberland Lodge vine. which is n
shoot of still older vine which grows
at Hampton Court, but the shoot has
far outdistanced its parent in dimen-
sions and productiveness. In England
grapes are generally grown under
glass, and the Cumberland Lodge vine
has great glass structure. 12O feet
long by 20 wide. all to itself. Growing
with astonishing luXuriance, the vine
spreads itself over a roof area of 2,400
square feet and bears annually a crop
of approximately thousand huge
punches of the finest favored grapes
These grapes are frequently found on
the royal table. and the subject who Is
presented with basket OF them con
siders himself highly favored. Th'
shoot from which the great vine ha
grown was planted in 1875.

Plenty of Cash

MY prediction several months age
that there would be a plethora OF
cash in the banks OF the country af-
ter the first OF the year Is being full
filled" said Gordon Jones, president
OF the United States National bank
In Denver. Last weeks statement
OF the New York clearing house
banks showed tremendous flow OF
cash from the interior into the cen
ter.
There was an increase in deposits
of over $44.0O0,0OO and a gain in
reserves of $26.129.OO0, which show
that the New York national banks
held on Saturday $27.39S,0OO more
than the legal requirement of 25 per
cent OF the deposits.
Chicago and other centers OF the
country reflect the same conditions.
Money has become so plentiful that
the bankers are unable to find ade-
quate use for all of 1t. The splendid
condition is further shown by the
TACT that business men and firms are
paying of their loans. That means
they are making money.
Il foresaw several months ago
that the banks would have plenty Of
money after the first of the year.
This condition justifles the feeling
or satisfaction over the outlook for
business the coming year"

GAME LAWS OF COLORADO
MAY BE MORE STRINGENT

A more stringent game law is be-
ing devised by State Game and Fish
Commissioner Holland and Enos
Mills of Estes park The collabora-
tors are not yet agreed upon all
points to be contained in this bit OF
proposed legislation, but in general
it will make still more protective the
provisions governing the killing of
game and fish.
In his annual report to the COVER
nor Mr. Holland recommends a
shortening in the open season on
ducks, geese. brant. curlews, snipes
and other wading marsh birds, The
open season is now from September
| 10 to April Is. The game commits
sioner would shorten this period by
making the season open Septembe
t15 and close March 81. He woult
also limit the killing of dear during
! the present Today open season by
confning them to deer with horns
only.
Despite many requests from the
sportsmen that there should now be
an open season on elk and mountain
sheep. these animals having increas-
ed in numbers considerably since
killing at any time of the year was
forbidden, the game commissioners
will endeavor to keep the season on

A cliff of natural glass can be seen
in Yellowstone park. 1t is half a mile

 We started toward the Mafulu moun- tains from the MeReo district, following the course of the St. Joseph river" he said.
 The ground was covered with thick, reedy grass, sometimes 10 feet in height, and through this we had to push our way along i'll formed native paths.
 We visited as many villages as pos sible on the way to the mountain. Here we were received very courteously by the chiefs to whom I gave various presents in exchange for native car riers.
 There is of course, no such thing as money, either among the natives of the plains or the Nautilus, so that I carried stock of articles called trade in lieu of money.
 My trade consisted of the follow ing goods: Axes. knives, trade tobacco, beads. plane irons. belts. red calico

pouches and salt. With these things paid for all native labor
 At last, after walking through all most impossible bush and undergrowth, we came upon the Mafulu mountains, and began to ascend them. By this time, my legs were covered with sores there is, l am sure. septic poison in the atmosphere there-and every step hurt me.
 'It was between 4000 and 5000 feet up the mountains that we came upon the , Mafulus-a small people entirely naked, save for a strip of bark worn round the loins
 Their skin is dark sooty-brown color, hair a grizzly, frizzy brown, and across their faces are weird splashes of color chiefly bright red.
 Here in these wild out of the world regions, I found two French Jesuite priests. I cannot express my immense admiration for those too men who lived there quite alone and unprotected.
 "The Nautilus, l discovered, though they are cannibals are not actually head hunters. They only eat human flesh when the victim is killed in battle or private vendetta but then the actual slayer is not permitted to assist at the feast. Their liking for pigs amounts to some thing like worship. Women nurse young pigs just as they would babies.
 "One woman killed her baby so thai she could nurse a young pig.
 "At the big feast pig flesh is largely eaten. One village of about 100 houses killed 120 pigs for their meal. The religion of the Nautilus is simply | the primitive fear of ghosts and spirits They have not reached the stage of idol | atry.
 "They believe, for instance. that the fig tree and certain trailing plants are spirit 1 haunted. | "A Jesuite priest, who wanted to build | hut, was warned by the Nautilus not | to cut through one of these trailing plants. He laughed at their fears and cut it through.
 strangely enough, he was taken very | III the next day and had to be removed l to the coast.
 1 Marriage is a very simple process. A | boy sees a girl he wants, and goes to hei home. A price Is arranged for her some pigs or a tomahawk-and the girls parents accompany the boy back to his | home.
 Then they all sit outside the house and the wedding is over.'

able cost of the war at 400 to 300 million

 covered by the value of the territory
