In Tibet they have not yet pro.

Now, in Tibet they do not try to
build bridges across the Mekong river.
but where there are high cliffs a cable
is stretched to the other side Of the
river. and for a tri1ing fee the person
who wishes to cross clings to thick
bark carrier and slides down, holding
M his feet at the point where the wa
Ter nears the peiflous bridge.
If he wants TO cross back he must go
farther up or down the river to Il point
where another cable is stretched from
high cliff 10 the other side, and again
he performs the slide for life
This may not be a very comfortable

CARELESS WITH GOLD.
Any Old Thing Serves the klondikers
For Holding Nuggets.

Persons who are accustomed to oh
serve the extreme care with which
banke,s handle gold would be aston
ished by the lax methods of the men
who risk their lives for the precious
metal in sparsely settled regions
where it is mined.
In the log cabins in which Klondik-
ers live it has TO take its chance along
with boots, cooking utensils and pro
visions, waiting to be transported By
the most expeditions route. Any re-
ceptacle, it seems, is good enough TO
hold gold. Old tobacco cans and fruit
and vegetable cans stand full of mug
gets on the shelves, and sacks of gold
dust are flung upon the floor.

Of three mules brought TO Dawson

RAlNMAKING FALLAClES.
Natures Processes Too Gigantic to Be
Initiated BY Man.

Initiated by Man.
Warm air Is like a sponge. 1t will
suck up lot of moisture and carry ii
without spilling any. But if warm
air, well loaded with moisture. is sud
denly cooled the sponge is squeezed
and the moisture falls out as rain
Many years ago some hopeful gen
tlemen went to one of our arid regions
and exploded lot of dynamite on the
theory that the conclusion would mix
the strata OF warm air near the earth
with the cooler strata above and so
cause the necessary precipitation of
moisture. There happened TO be light
showers about the time of the expert
ments, which encouraged the expert
mentors, but didn't convince anybody
else
The fact is that natures rainmaking
machine is too gigantic TO be affected
by the puny efforts of humans-at least
by any methods so far discovered.
Nature pumps the moisture laden air
up into the cold regions of the upper
atmosphere Win a wheel thousand
miles in diameter. When this ire
mendous wheel of air is revolving nor
mally 1t holsts millions of tons of wa
ter vapor to an elevation where it can
no longer be carried in solution and
SO falls In rain.
When the wheel Is of adjustment Il
is as futile TO lombard the sky with
dynamite as it would be to fire popgun
