This mountain of money owes its Gre
alton to the idea that the beauties of
Yosemite Park, in Mariposa county,
California, are not as widely apprcCid ed
as they should be. Visitors who gaze
upon the wonders OF the valley never
forget it, They tell their friends of the
Bridal Veil Fails and the llmpid clear
waters of Lost Lake and the o.her mar
wells they have seen, bu; SIN, as the
Government considers ii, not enough
people journey To Yosemite 20 view the
natural wonders there. Il has often
been declared that there is nothing in
Europe 20 compare with the park, and
so thu Government has taken up a novel
publicity scheme to awaken wider in

Ohcials Of three Departments put
their heads together and worked out the
idea. The Departments were the In

to show tourists just what they We're
missing when they made trip to the
far West and failed to include Yosemite
Park in heir itinerary. The Consulta-
lions resulted in the suggestion of re-
production of the park in NINA uro, and
this WAS finally determined on. The Gov
eminent has corps of expert modcll"rs
in is employ, and SO there was little
difficulty in making he miniature rcSer-
walton. The model Will be exhibited at
the san Francisco exposition in 1915.
But the officials of the three Depart

in HE publicity scheme. They outlined
their plan to one of the Governments

that.

When that new enterprise challenged
American journalism a new implement
for the collection and distribution OF
news was just coming into use. over "A
wire forty miles long. year and a half
before the first shots were fired, the
telegraph had demonstrated its utility
as bearer Of news. As the fighting
began on the Rio Grande only about
LOO miles of telegraph were in opera
tion and the wires stretched almost en-
tirely north from the city of Washing
ton into the populous Middle and East
crn States.
The city Of New Orleans. near tho
mouth of the Mississippi. 1000 miles
from Washington, was the centre for
the news of the war To the Southern
metropolis the tidngs were brought by
steamboat and sailing vessel from Point
isabel, from Tampicu and from Vera
cruz. And to the ships the news was
brought by the daring couriers, the ex-
press riders who had to run the CANT
let OF the guerrillas who infested the
dry plains of northern Mexico and the
difficult mountain region between the
capital and the city of Vera Cruz,
whence Scott started on his march in
land.
There was fierce rivalry among the
New Orleans papers To Ice first on the
street with the news which the Couricrs
ana the ships brought 10 the city. From
New Orleans the news was sent up the
Mississippi River by steamboat. but the
most strenuous eXertlons were made to

est possible time.
BY steamboat and pony express the
copies of the papers and the packets OF
letters were hurried across the South

wounds. He tried to administer q
sort of first aid to himself, but could
not, one Of his arms being broken
and paralyzed by the pain.
Suddenly, some twenty feet away,
he saw a soldier moving in his di-

a German officer. judging by the
uniform, and, having heard weird
humme wondered what was going to
happen.
When the German reached the side
OF the Frenchman, he helped Jean
into a more comfortable position,
dressed his wounds as best he could
under the circumstances, with things
he took from his own kit Then he
fell back unconscious.
The ambulance attendants found
the German dead. Both his legs
were broken, the bones in each be-
ing pulverized. A bullet through
his lungs had completed the job.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
BELIEFS EXPLAINED

Bliss Knapp Of the board Of lecturers
of the First Church Of Christ. Scientist.
delivered a lecture on "Christian Sci
ence" at Polls Theater yesterday after
noon Acquaintance with divine nature,
declared the lecturer. is the precise
method of Christian healing.
THE ability of Christian Scientist to
heal the sick and SHINING through pray
er Is wholly due to a better understand
ing Of God, who is the divine principle
of mans existence said Mr.. Knapp.
This is an agreement with the Scrip
tural command. .Acquaint now thyself
with Him. and be at peace.
"One who is sick is not at peace. One
who is distressed either in mind or In
body is not at peace. Nevertheless. ac-
quaintance with the divine nature en-
dows one with that peculiar intelligence
which inspires him with the power or
peace and thereby rules out all disturb
ances. whether mental or physical.
Therein do you have presented in the
briefest possible statement the precise
method of Christian healing-aquain-
tance with the divine nature.
'"The first case of healing that led to
the discovery of Christian Science was
that of Mrs. Eddy. She had met with
an accident which those about her con-
sidered must result fatally. Undaunted
by the weight of so great fear, the
effort of self-prescrVation turned her
naturally from the contemplation of her
extremity to seek comfort in her Bible.
Always a devout student Of the Bible.
it was but natural that she should turn
to fts inspired pages for comfort, con-
ISOLATION or hope of relief. But there,
stripped of all material aid, she became
imbued with n dawning ray of spiritual
reality. She began 10 recognize that
health is not feshy condition to be
lost or impaired, but rather the gift of
God as imperishable as God himself.
In that she recognized what constitutes
the immortality of man-that which
every Christian admits and believes.
But she saw in it as present n posi-
bility as are goodness and honesty, and
she was instantly healed That was IN
the year 1866. She could then say with
