Utsh's Natural Bridge

From the Washington Star.
 What Is thought to be the largest natural bridge in the world Is that of southwestern Utah. known as tho George natural bridge. The total length of this great work of nature Is about 200 feet: its width. e.. tn. "roadway"-is about 35 feet: the span in clear is about 90 feet At the base there flows small water course which. during the hot months, dwin- dies to mere rivulet.
 Scientists are somewhat perplexed to explain the means by which nature produced the bridge. It is thought hardly possible that it could have been created by water erosion. unless, as was most unlikely. there was very large and swift stream flowing at the point where the brook now runs.
 Some authorities are inclined to the view that this bridge was due to vol earle action. occurring at some remote geological period.
 Although long known to the Indians. 1t was not until about 15 years ago that white mon became familiar with the sight of 1t. Mining prospectors were the first of the whites to see i.. since it is located in the heart of a very rugged and inaccessible region.
 The span is composed of d dark brown sandstone of unusual hardness. and the thickness of the span Is 20 feet or more.
 Engineers who have examined this bridge assert that 1t Is perfectly safe and secrre and that 1t Is fully capable of sustaining an immense weight. especially as the span is free from flaws or seams.

TOMM|E'S WAY OF
 SELLING HIS CARS
Little Drama Enacted on South Twentieth Street and
 Story of Its Outcome

CcENE: South Twentieth street and
 Avenue D.
 0 Dralnatis Personae: Tommie Mor- ris and Dr. H. A. Elkourie.
 Sir Thomas Is discovered sitting in his luxurious Premier touring car. He has nothing on his mind but his hat and that Us cooked at a roguish angle. Dr. El- kourie heaves in sight. He cometh around the corner and lists to tho soft chugging of the Premier engine.
 "Can I sell you an automobile today?' questions Tom. with the insouciance of a maid from Norwood. Maybe perhaps replied the doc, by way of giving an intelligent answer.
 This started Thomas on his happy way. He stuck the needle way up in his arm and let out the following:
 "Dr. Elkourie. this Is undoubtedly the best automobile that I have ever driven in my life. It has a powerful engine. which you hear so softly beating time there. Also note the graceful lines of the body and the equipment
 "Butv and Tornmle took another 5ab, q don't want you to take my word for It. I know you to be an expert driver. Therefore, hop in this bus and ride 1t as your own car all the afternoon. To- night come back and let me hear your version of riding in a genuine automo- bile"
 Thomas then descended from the ma chine and gravely escorted pr. Elkourie to the drivers seat and started him off.
 No matter what Dr. Elkourie thought of the Premier automobile, and 1t is certain that he thought well of 1t. he was visibly impressed with the up-to-the minute progressive salesmanship of MT. Morris.
 The last heard of the affair was that Dr. Elkourie had bought his Premier
 That's "big league" work, Tommie. This being distributor of automobiles that sell themselves.

sentials of Logic" tells in Preface to his book just what the aim and object of the volume Is.
 He says
 This is intended to be working hand- book of logic. and not a history of the subject. No novelty Is clalmed. except the novelty Of simplicity, and freedom from needless technicalities, hereditary nomenclature. and ether barnacles; as, for example, in the treatment of the svl- logism and of fallacies. With teacha- bleness and early practical application In view. traditional accretions and con- troversies have been omitted; and yet, it is believed. without sacrifice of essen tials. There is constant endeavor to make evident the relation between different parts of the subject.

THE UNSEEN EMPIRE"
 GA peace play in four acts.) By Arthur
 Brownell. Harper Bros, Publishers.
 New York.
 ''The Unseen Empire" Ga peace play in four acts) was written, % the author. Arthur Brownell, states. in a "Foreword,' '' under the shadow of that great tomb on Riverside drive. New York city, where rest the remains of a soldier. On ita facade are carved the words of Ulysses s. Grant, spoken out of the fullness of his experience in war-"Let us have peace"
 Those words are cut into the present work as surely as they are gfuven uron that tcmb Yet. with impulse and inspira- ton entirely American, the purpose of the play has been to reach beyond the lines of national boundaries aud to represent 'The New Internationalism." Owing. perhaps, to the locale of It's action. the play has asumed unwittingly an outward form which seems to be suggestive of German thought and construction.
 { Az the time for stage production in the United States has approached 1t has been felt that form of drama more familiar to Amtrican audiences and more favored hy them might be desirable. Whoever reads this original version of the play and likewise witnesses It's performance will, therefore. note a few changes in structure, though not in spirit A greater use of the scenic and spectacular possi- h'''tses has been made. More marked en1- phasie has been laid upon the power of the d6mocracy to make or unmake war In tbia work of revision for stage purposes the authnr has had-and aclsliowicdges- the valued collabpra ton of MT. William Yopng.xWho performed similar service for the l9te Gen. Lew Wallace in making the ntage verpion of sBen-Hur."

 In "The Lights Are Bright" by the clever and popular author. Louise Ken nedy Mabie whose story, The Wings of Pride, made such delightful impress. sion upon the literary world and is still being talked about, the measure of girl is taken.
