THE LURE OF THE WEST
WESTERN CANADA ATTRACTING
THOUSANDS OF SETTLERS.

Writing on the Canadian West, an
eastern exchange truthfully says:
1.-THE West still calls with impera-
tive voice. To prairie and mountain,
and for the Pacific Coast, Ontario's
young men and women are attracted
by tens of thousands yearly. The
great migration has put an end to the
fear. freely expressed not many years
ago by those who knew the West from
the lakes to the farther coast of Van
couver Island, that Canada would
some day break in two because of the
predominance of Continental European
and American settlers in the West"
This is true While the immigra-
ton from the United States is large,
running close to 100000 year, that of
the British Isles and Continental
Europe nearly twice that number, max
ing total of 100000 per year, there
is strong influx from Eastern Can
ada. 1t is not only into the prairie
provinces that these people go, but
many of them continue westward the
glory of British Columbia's great trees
and great mountains, the excellent
agricultural valleys, where can be
grown almost all kinds of agriculture
and where fruit has already achieved
prominence. Then the vast expanse
of the plains attract hundreds of thou
sands, who at once set to work to Gull
tivate their vast holdings. There is
still room, and great opportunity in
the West. The work of mans hands,
even in the cities with their record.
breaking building rush, is the small.
is spread before the eye on journey
through the country. Nature is still
supreme, and man is still the divine
pigmy audaciously seeking to impose
his will and stamp his mark upon an
unconquered half continent.
The feature that most commends
itself in Western development today
is the "home-making spirit" The
West will find happiness in planting
trees and making gardens and build
ing schools and colleges and universe
ties, and producing a home environ
ment so that there will be no DISPOSE
tion to regard the country as tenn
porary place of abode in which every
one is trying to make his pile prepar-
atory to going back East or becoming
a lotus-eater beside the Pacific
The lure of the West is strong. It
will be still stronger when the crude
new towns and villages of the plains
are empowered in trees and vocal
with the song of birds-Advertise-
ment.

Chances of Climate.

A scientist who recently investigated
the causes of secular variations in tenn
perature at the earth's surface thinks
that they are more probably due tc
changes in the amount of carboniC
acid in the atmosphere than to varia
tons in the heat of the sun. If the
amount of carbonic acid that the all
now contains was diminished little
more than half, the mean temperature
all over the earth would, it is stated
drop about eight degrees, which would
be sufficient to bring on another gla'
cial period. On the other hand, an in
crease of carbonic acid to between two
and three times tbs present amount
would raise the mean temperature Is
degrees and renew the hot times OF
the Eocene epoch.

MANY PERSONS COLOR BLIND
Tests Used by Railroads Show That
Almost Everybody Is Slightly
Color Blind.

The various tests for color blind
ness have come into practical use in
the examination of railroad engineers
and the like, where the ability to dis
tinguish colors is necessary, so that
these tests are no longer peculiar to
the laboratory But it is not gener-
ally known outside the laboratory that
everybody is partially color blind
that is, in certain parts of the field of
vision. The most normal individual
can see all the colors only when he
looks directly at them. If looked at
from an angle of about fifteen degrees
red and green can no longer be seen,
but in their places will appear shades
of yellow or blue. This region of the
eyes is known as the yellow-blue zone.
IL the color be moved still farther to
the side the yellow and blue will dis
appear and only gray can be seen.
This region is known as the zone of
complete color blindness. An inter-
esting theory in regard to these zones
is that every normal eye represents
three stages of evolution. The zone
of complete color blindness is the low
est stage, and appears in such ami
mails as the frog, whose vision is
known as shadow vision. The blue
yellow zone is one step higher in the
scale, although not clearly marked
off in the animal kingdom. And the
appearance of the red-green zone
marks the highest stage of evolution.
Cases of color blindness are, accord
ing to this theory, lack of develop
ment beyond the early stage of indi-
vidual life.-Strand Magazine.

ALAMO MEMORIAL

out to admit the light, so this star will
be almost as brilliant in the daytime
as at night.
The elevators in the monument, four
in all, will be located between the
massive columns as far UP as these ex-
tend, which will be to height of 120
feet from the ground, and above that
in the shaft, in which one will be
placed in each corner and extending
to the base of the dome. These ele-
vators will have large carrying capaci-
ty, which will be necessary to accom-
modate the immense crowds that will
visit the monument.
The rooms apportioned to the differ
ent counties of Texas, 275 and 800 (for
some will have to be provided for new
counties that will be created in the
years to GOMEZ, will be located within
the shaft of the monument above the
four floors, in which will be placed the
auditorium, museum, art gallery and
chambers for patriotic organizations.
These will be reached by the ele-
vators, one of which will be designated
to serve them, while the other will run
on express schedule between the first
landing, at height of about 120 feet,
and the balconies at the top.
The dome of the monument will not
be open to visitors, but will be offer
ed to the federal government for an
observatory, such as is now maintain
ed at a few places in the United
States, and which is much needed in
the south. At the very top of the great
structure will be located powerful
searchlight, the strongest that It will
be possible to obtain.
This powerful light will be turned on
faraway towns if so desired, but gen.
orally it will be turned toward the
clouds, and it's rays will be visible at
great distances far beyond points from
which the great tower itself may be
seen.
For the maintenance of this monu-
ment an admission of so cents will be
charged to the museum and art gal
lery. and another admission price of
so cents will be charged for trip in
one of the four elevators to the bal
comics near the top of the structure.

Cannon of Solid Rock.

When the island of Malta was under
the rule of the Knights of st. John
they defended their Notifications with
cannon bored in the living rock. Each
one Of these strange weapons con
tanned an entire barrel of powder, and
as it was not possible to vary the aim
of these cannon so were made ready
facing various directions from which
the enemy might approach.
When the fame of these arms of de
tense became known TO the world the
idea was taken up of transporting
rocks to SUBMITS to serve the same
purpose, but it was soon recognized to
be impracticable, and the cannon OF
Malta, bored in solid rock, have
passed into history as the sole wea'
pons of the kind ever known.-Har-

Superstition ano Juries.

After having sat on many juries the
observant man is of the opinion that
the whole human race is still strong
ly tarred with the brush of supersti-
ton.
Il am confirmed in that belief by the
amount of damages invariably voted to
plaintiffs whose injuries smack of SUI
perstitious origin" he said. IF load
of bricks should fall from fifth story
window onto the head of man who
happened to be walking under ladder
he would get twice as much damages
as if the ladder were not there. The
element of bad luck that attaches to a
ladder would insensibly influence every
juror. and the sum awarded would re-
fleet their prejudices and sympathies."

Do Men Weep Most Now?

A constant theater goer writes that
from the observation among London
audiences he has come to the conclu-
sion that the day of weeping wom-
en- has passed.
1T seems only a few years ago." he
writes, that women wept on the slight
est provocation. A situation in which
the faintest touch of pathos was in
troduCed provided an excuse to bring
out the handkerchiefs. Now scenes
which would move the heart of the
most cynical do not bring tear to
the eye of the modern woman
My experience is that men in the
audience more often give vent to
their emotions. If they do not weep,
they sniff and use their handker-
chiefs"

MEMORY IMPROVED.
Since Leaving Of Coffee.

Many persons suffer from poor
memory who never suspect coffee has
anything to do with it.
The drug-caffeine-in coffee, acts
injuriously on the nerves and heart,
causing imperfect circulation, too
much blood in the brain at one time,
too little in another part. This often
causes a dullness which makes good
memory nearly impossible.
81 am nearly seventy years old and
did not know that coffee was the
cause of the stomach and heart trou-
BILE l suffered from for many years
until about four years ago." writes a
Kansas woman.
"a kind neighbor induced me to
quit coffee and try Postum. / had
been suffering severely and was
greatly reduced in flesh. After using
Postum a little while / found myself
improving My heart beats became
regular and now / seldom ever no
tice any symptoms of my old stom-
ach trouble at all. My nerves are
steady and my memory decidedly
better than while was using coffee.
81 like the taste of Postum fully as
well as coffee"

Postum comes in two forms.
Regular Unjust be boiled).
Instant Postum doesn't require
boiling but is prepared instantly by
stirring level teaspoonful in an or
binary cup of hot water, which makes
it right for most persons.
A big cup requires more and some
people who like strong things put in
a heaping spoonful and temper it with
a large supply of cream.
Experiment until you know the
amount that pleases your palate and
have it served that way in the future.
There's q Reason" for Postum.

Death Of John Griffin.
Death is no respecter of person,
and words cannot express the shock to
this community when news came that
Jack Griffin had been cut down in the
flower of his manhood and had passed
to the great beyond.
John S. Griffin was the son of John
Griffin and Mary Carey Griffin and
was born three miles south of Deni-
son, December 25th, 1871, being only
forty two years old at the time of
his death, which occurred at his home
at Barnston, Neb. Thursday morning.
Jack, as he was Familiarity called,
grew to manhood in this vicinity and
was great favorite with all who knew
him, because of his CHEEKY DISPOSE
ton and his free loving qualities.
He was married in 1899 to Miss Jen-
ME Talcott, to this union one son was
born, who with his wife still survive
him.
About seven weeks ago he was quite
sick and went to hospital in Omaha
for treatment. They told him he had
acute Bright's disease, but he made
light of the matter and could not seem
to believe that his trouble was any
thing serious. He remained about two
weeks in the hospital and went home
feeling quite we'll again, and was
working in his place of business when
he took slight paralytic stroke. This
was last Tuesday evening. He recov.
cred from the stroke sufficiently to
walk home and go to bed. His wife
summoned the doctor and the priest
at once. Both were prompt and al
though Jack didn't realize that death
was so near, he received the last rites
of his church and was ready to meet
