PURITAN ANCESTOR

ter than he know. Else how can we
explain the surprising fact that, In
spite Of his aversion to discussing sex
phenomena and sex rights, he created
form of society in which woman at
tanned prestige, freedom of action
and a scope of opportunity such as
she had not known in previous ages.
Let others explain how the puritanic
ancestor, laboring under the handicap
Of atrophied conversational powers,
ignorant of the works of Ellen Key
and Oliver Schreiner, succeeded in
working out theory that 1t is mans
function to labor and provide, and
woman's function to expand and en-.
joy. The task is too difficult for the
present writer. Nor can he explain
this other startling fact that, without
any knowledge that this is the cen.
tury of the child, without explicit
xSecognition Of the sacred duty he
owed to the future of the race as EN-
bodied in the child, the puritan an.
cestor wherever he went, built his
schoolhouse and his church stimuli
taneously, and after the schoolhouse
he erected high schools, and after the
high schools he created universities
and stinted himself In order that his
children might go to these univer
stiles and might have more money tt
spend than was good for them.

English Alpinists, who have been In
vestigating mountain regions in the

In exploration work spread over sew
eral weeks these mountain climbers
have discovered no trace of the myth
cal mountains. The mountains were

900 feet in height. While these noun
tains do not appear to exist. Messrs.
Mumm and Howard, accompanied by
Morits Inderbinen, the former Swiss
guide, explored peaks each in the
neighborhood of 1900 feet high in
the vicinity of Robson, and which to-
gether form one of the most magni-
ficent groups Of mountain peaks which
these experienced mountain climbers
have ever seen.
Photographs have been taken by
Mr.. Mumm Of an old blaze on the
bark of pine tree in the heart of the
Rockies which he thinks may possi-
bly, be relic of an early pioneer trag-
edy During the dispute between trap
pers Of the Northern Fur company and
the Hudson Bay company trappers
pushed their way through the noun
tains from British Columbia, follow
ing the route of Wood river, and even
tually arriving in an amphitheater of
mountains known as the Commit
tees Punchbowl." The men had suf-
fered frightful hardships and consul
tation was held as to whether they
would return or go forward.
Seeing they had arrived at the wa
tershed. it was thought their journey
was only half over, and some decided
to go back. The most of these perish
ed, while those who went forward soon
struck the easy path through Yellow
Tead and were out of the mountains

WHERE APPLES CAME FROM
Two Varieties OF Fruit Found Wild
In Europe, but Region Near Cas-
plan Sea Is Birthplace.
fRx RI ?. powELL.l

There are two varieties Of apples
found wild in Europe, but the region
adjacent to the Caspian sea seems TO
have been the birthplace OF the apple
as known in the east. Charred pieces
Of apples are found in the heaps OF
refuse left by the Lake Dwellers, who
occupied portions of Europe before
any Of the present races. These peo-
pie lived on platforms laid over piles
driven into the water probably to
protect themselves from animals, III
an era before metal weapons were
known. These specimens of apples
are generally carbonized by heat, but
they show perfectly the internal
structure of the fruit. These are five
types of native American apples, all
of them crabs. John Smith wrote
from Virginia that he had found
some new crabapples, but they were
small and bitter" New Englanders
made the same report The Soulard
has the reputation of being the larg.
est and best of these natives. Sprouts
of this variety, like the Matthews. are
improved in size and quality Selec-
tions might probably be made from
western thickets, of even better sorts
than are now known. / believe the
blood of the wild crab is in some OF
our best orchard apples.
