A WINTRY EASTER.
Festival Falls This Year on the
Earliest Date in 81 Years.

Whatever the hardship on style
purveyors and Easter lily dealers
there remains the inexorabe fact that
Easter is jammed right up against
winter in that blustery, rough-and
tumble month of March. There 1t
stands as cold record on the calendar,
md you can't blame the weather man
for il this time, because he didn't set
the day down in that choice mixture
of weather he dishes up in the merry
month of March. 1t was some good
ly church fathers way back in the
days when Easter bonnets and fash
ion parades were unknown who play
ed the trick on the present recalci-
trant generation. And ii 1t can't be
blamed on the churchman, 1t must be
blamed on the moon. This over
worked satellite of ours bears the re-
sponsbility for fixing the date of
Easter.
To be sure. Easter has always en-
joyed the privilege of roaming more
or less at random over the calendar,
but, nevertheless, it obeys one of the
oldest laws man ever devised. This
is that the first Sunday after the first
full moon following the vernal
equinox shall be Easter. To put IL
another way, Easter comes on the
first Sunday after the first full moon
after March 21. AS movable feast
day, has wide range for It's op-
servance, but il must fall between
March % and April 20, inclusive.
Usually you may depend upon 1T 10
work out so that Easter comes where
it properly belongs, but this year IT is
a case of the vernal equinox, fun moon
and Sunday following so close upon
each others heels that the holiday is
at hand before anybody, much less the
weather. is really ready for it,
If YOU were TO take the FOURTH OF
July and present ii to the 90,00O,000 or
so citizens of this land in mid-June, or
if YOU were to grant them Christmas
and all that goes with 1t early in De-
cember. the upheaval would be no
greater than it will when Easter
makes it's untimely appearance in the
stormy, cold, cherries and altogether
unliked and disagreeable month of
Mareh--the month of the great biz
zard of IS and other. disagreeable
things Back in 1861 the festival came
on the first possible day, March y, and
again in 1915 In the last 125 years it
has made its appearance on March %
only three times. once in 1888, again in
IS45, and again in 1850, not until after
the wear 1000 will IL again crowd so
closely upon the heels OF winter There

The Oldest Person.

Having taken considerable interest for
many years in centenarianism, it has &C.
CURED to me that it would be interesting
if it could be decided who is entitled to
receive the verdict for length OF days
within. say. the last 500 years, which IS
about the period that covered anything
like authentic records.
The papers recently reported the death
of Jones Calvario in Mexico at the re-
puted age of 1876 years, and the Weekly
Scotsman states his age is only exeeiled
by one man since the days of the pa
triarchs, Peter Tortin or zorten of Hun
gary, who is reputed to have died at
about the same age. although in the sun
some years ago Peter Czartan, a notori-
Gus glutton, doubtless the same individ-
uai, is only credited with a century and
q half.
The Scotsman goes on to say that the
oldest man before Tortin was Henry Jen-
kinss of Yorkshire Q69) whose predecessor
in the distinction was Thomas Parr of
Shropshire, 152 I take exception to this
as to Parr--as some years ago the Sun,
in an Interesting editorial honored me by
mentioning Thomas Cam con and Will
liam Edwards G6Sl, and no one can sue
cessfully dispute their authenticity.
Again. the Deutsehe Volksblatt recently
announced the death of Marie Polanioff,
a peasant woman of Tornovo at 1sS.
And then Betsy Trantham is said to have
died i'm Tennessee in 1894 at 154.
Ny own belief is that unless registers or
tombstones are tempered with-and the
chances are less with the latter-many of
these extraordinary persons lived the
ages assigned TO them. Cams case stands

of proof to the contrary | claim that he

and there may be and doubtless are in

lah of the Bible $3.50 as the latters great
length of days appears to be so much in
excess of the age of man declared by God
in Genesis q20), and later by the Psalmist,

1t may be interesting to state that
among other American "ancients," be-
sides Betsy Trantham, Solomon Nabit of
South Carolina is said to have died in
1920 at 1is, and Henry Francesca OF

among the high peaks of the Sierra
divide and on the Kings Kern and
Great Western divides 1t flows d.
rectly southwark about seventy miles,
then southwestward to the mouth of
its canon a few miles northeast of
Bakersfield, where it enters the south
end of the San Joaquin Valley. No
water from Kern River has reached
the San Joaquin in recent years. The
water is all utilized for irrigation be-
fore it reaches the larger valley and
the Kern becomes a lost river
The principal tributary of Kern
River is its South Fork. The basin is
divided into two lesser basins, differing
greatly in topography. The eastern
basin is characterized by comparative
~ low, fiat and irregular hills, separ-
ateG by many intervening meadows,
large and small; it is drained by the
South Fork. The western basin is
characterized by high glacial peaks
and ridges and by deep canons; it is
drained by the main stream, which
flows for a great part of its length
through a narrow canon.
Kern River Canon proper is about
twenty miles long, one mile wide at
the top and 1900 to 1000 feet deep. The
bottom of the canon is several hum
dred feet wide and the average
gradient is 100 feet to the mile.
