Seeing Cheat Distances.

1t seems almost impossible
that any one could see distance
of 200 miles with the naked eye.
In Mexico the air is said to be
clearer than anywhere else in
the world. At any rate, it is the
only country where a veiw ex-
tending to 200 miles can be OBJ
tanned. By climbing to the top
of the Sierra mountains the lone.
ly peak of Mt. Sparta can be seen
1t would take four hours by ex-
press train to reach it.
Mt. Everest, in the Himalayas
is the tallest mountain in the
world. From Darjeeling the 81
gantic cone of Everest is seen
rising in snowy grandeur among
its mighty neighbors, and any
stranger would VOW it was not
more than 80 or 40 miles away.
AS a matter of fact, the distance
is 1O7 miles as the crow flies.
The most conspicuous object in
the British isles, is Mt Snowdon,
in Wales, which on a clear day
can be distinctly seen from Bray
Head. County Wicklow, a dis
lance of no less than IS miles.
Snowdon can also be seen from
Waterloo, Liverpool, distance
of So miles.
In the Fens, where the ground
is perfectly flat for miles, any
lofty object can be seen a long
way off. Boston Stump, the
tower of the fine old church at
Boston, Lincolnshire. is visible
from the Leicestershire, hills,
quite 40 miles away.
From the top of the famous
Blackpool tower you can on a
clear day catch a glimpse of the
Mountain of Snaefell in the Isle
of Man. The distance is a good
60 miles.

quest of 81, 500 a year for life to

wife and threatens visitors at his
ranch.

papers on Brisbane and succeeded in
getting him out of the house to an
automobile. Brisbane made an ex-
cuse to return to the house and Cess
ma followed him within. Selling a

ened the deputy. who closed in on
him and a rough and tumble fight
followed. Cessna finally o~verpower-
ed Brisbane and placing handouts
upon his wrists, brought him to the
county Jail. The insanity board will

Proclamation Is Issued by Governor
of South Dakota.

Pierre, Nov. 16.-Gov. Byrne has
issued the following Thanksgiving
proclamation:
Transcending in value every other
estate which a people or an individ-
ual may prize and hold dear is the
possession of a thankful heart and a
hopeful spirit. In their train follow
peace and serene contentment; with
them abide happiness and comfort;
when adverse forces Cypress us they
tighten the load and direct us
through the dark shadows; in time
of anguish they mellow the poign-
ancy of grief and through them we
meet all obstacles successfully.
AS a means of giving expression to
our nations gratitude and thank
fulness the custom of observing one
day in each year as Thanksgiving
day has been established, and it is in
accordance with this usage and in
harmony with the proclamation OF
the president that hereby designate
and set apart Thursday, November
&c, 1914, as a day of thanksgiving
and of special prayer.
In these momentous days when SO
many peoples of the earth have en-
tered the lists of battle. when our
sister nations are so enshadoWed by
the reek of powder and alame with
the fires of war il seems especially
fitting that all American citizens
should offer up TO God heartfelt graf
itude for the blessings of peace and
prosperity which he has vouchsafed
us, and let us devoutly pray that the
early cessation of hostilities may be
effected and peace once again reigr
over the world.
