MODERN USES OF cAsLEwAys.

The use of cableways for a large
variety of purposes is an interesting
development of modern engineering.
Such ways are employed on the Pa
mama canal, the steel cables being
supported by lofty movable towers.
The present limit of span is more
than $500 feet, and the speed of the
conveyors may exceed 1900 feet per
minute Such ways span gorges, val
leys, roads, railways and Instructions
of many kinds. The system is used
for building dams by dumping in a
stream beneath, hauling logs from
booms by means of cables stretched
above the river, running blocks out
Of quarries up inclined cableways,
dredging channels, piling lumber,
steel plates and beams on cars, and
various kinds of excavating.-Har-

SHOWN BY THE cocoANU7
1ts Voyages to Distant Lands May
Have Taught Anelents Art
TFF Of Navigation.

Growing on the shores of our con-
tinents and thousands of islands in
the tropical regions of the Atlantic,
Pacific and Indian oceans, the cocoa
nut has a chance to drop into the
sands OF the water and be carried
by the wind or ocean currents to dis
tant lands, perhaps thousands of
miles away from where the nut
grew, says an exchange.
The cocoanut is so buoyant and
the shell SO waterproof it can remain
in the sea for weeks without decay.
When cast upon the sands of another
island or perhaps even another con-
tinent, it will start to grow, and this
is the reason it has been very difficult
for scientific men to agree as to the
origin of the nut.
Some claim the cocoanut must
have been the beginning of naviga-
ton, as the natives could not have
had better example of sea-going
craft. The shells will float in even
rough waters for hundreds of miles.
Most mechanical ideas are derived
from some lesson in nature and the
cocoanut could have taught the
people of the globe in its early stages
a valuable lesson.

Official Paper of Redwood County
THE ROAD TO YESTERDAY

We dreamed alone, my heart and
OF summers lost and vanished springs;
A little wind went singing by.
With breath of roses on his wings;
"Come OUT" he beckoned, come away
know the road to Yesterday"
We ran together down the way.
A pleasant path of sun and shade.
We found the homestead, old and gray.
The garden where the children played
Before their feet had learned to stray
Beyond the realm of Yesterday.
The roses blossomed, white and red,
The plum trees dropt their fragrant snow
A Joyous bird sang overhead
The very song of long ago
And sunbeams through the open door,
Wove webs of gold along the floor.
But from the window one should look
With tender longing in her face
And one, above holy book,
Sit musing by the fireside place
Sweet souls! that changed to food divine
Lies bitter bread and meager wine.
And all the empty rooms should fill
With children's voices. clear and sweet;
And on the silent stairway still
Sound the light tread of children's feet
20 heartl" I sighed, what need to stay?
There is no road to Yesterday"

THE BASEBALL SERIES

American people surpass the world
in initial energy.
They bubble over with strength,
they are thrilled with energy plus.
The old world delights in games of
skill, carefully and scientifically dem
onstrated, quite apart from the mas
sive strength or energy displayed.
Americans like the boundless &C
tivity.
The song of their heart is the wild
joy of living"
That is the spirit that makes foot
ball popular and gives to baseball
its fascination.
In no other country in the world
could a post-series of ball games at
tract forty thousand people.
Americans understand the strain
of the contest and qloat over this
strain.
They know the men are alive with
intensity and masters Of their science.
This is the key to the American
character: Supremacy thro ugh
strength.
They will grow. develop, advance,
exactly as the great game of base
ball has grown and developed.
The game is born of the initial
energy of nation and nursed by the
inexhaustible strength of the people.
Delight in this, count it a matter
of pride to be one with this vast,
virile, far-reaching impulse that adj
mits no problem impossible and
whets it's appetite upon difficulties.
To be American is to be strenuous
and to be strenuous is to carry evil
ization forward, as Atlas sustained
