A RocKHouNp PRISON.

An Arizona County Has One Blown
Out Of Solid Quartz.
When the authorities of Graham,
Arizona, decided to look about for q
place in. which to confine criminals
they found natural depression In the
side of hill. This was enlarged into
what might be called an artificial
cave, divided into four compartments.
The cave was excavated parallel to
the side of the mountain in which It
was made, says the Wide World, and
daylight admitted by holes blown out
of the wall with explosives, the win
dows being guarded by a network OF
heavy steel bars
The entrance to the depression was
also closed in the same manner, and
q vestibule or porch of masonry built
out from 1t to provide quarters for
the Sheriff and his assistants. This
vestibule is also divided into COM
partments, which are connected by
gates of steel bars.
The only way of entering the prison
Is through the vestibule of masonry,
and In order to escape the inmates
would have to cut their way through
thre> sets of bars which are an inch
in thickness, as the windows are so
high up above the rock forming the
floor Of the cells that they could not
reach them.
1t is necessary, however, to have q
very secure place, as the criminals In
this part of the country are of most
desperate class, and the inmates fire.
quently include murderers and high
waymen. The mountain which has
thus been turned into a prison is COM
posed of solid quartz rock, and the
excavation was made principally by
the use of explosives. The jail Is
located in the town of Clifton, the
county seat.

THE DOOM OF PERSIA.
A Nation That lie suecumbing to the
Use Of Opium.

Much opium is used in Persia IT.
self, in fact, the consumption has
grown to a deplorable extent, which
causes considerable anxiety to the
authorities. There are opium dens
in every large town. and the sicken-
ing sweet smell arising from the
opium pipes streams out of every
tea and coffee house in the country.
The distressing spectacle of intox-
icated opium smokers may be seen
everywhere in Persia, and those who
do not care to smoke the drug have
taken to the small pillbox found in
every Persian breast-pocket. Now
and then efforts are made to put a
stop to the use of the danger.

as It's cultivation is permitted and
the highest officials indulge in its use
no restrictions will be effective in
preventing the lower classes from
running themselves. Persia is doomed
and It's downfall cannot be arrested

TREATY GIVES
25 MILLIONS
TO COLUMBIA
Costly Reparation to South
American Republic for Act
of Roosevelt Administra-
tion in Taking Panama.

A new treaty, which may arouse
as much bitter controversy as the
canal tolls affair, must soon be acted
upon by the United States senate.
After months of discussion, the
state department under Secretary
Bryan has made treaty with the
Republic of Colombia. Like all
treaties, it is, of course, subject to
the approval of the United States SEN
ate. Some senators predict that it
will never be ratified.
The treaty amounts to an apology
to Colombia, and payment of dam
age, sfor the course taken by our
government during the Roosevelt ad-
ministration, in helping Panama to Sc
cede.
The full text of the treaty has not
yet been made public. This is the
substance, as published:
Colombia ceases to urge that the
matter be referred to The Hague. 1t
admits that the independence of Pan
anna is now a fact not to be disputed
In full satisfaction, Colombia agrees
to accept $25, 100000 damages. And
the United States makes what
amounts to an apology, an expression
of polite regret at incidents connect
ed with the independence of Panama

GRAY Ieaued Plants.

Next to green, gray is the restfullest
and most satisfactory color to be had
In foliage We now have so many
hardy plants with gray foliage that
we can choose one for each month of
bloom and color of flower.
Among them are the silvery milfoil,
golddust, the white and purple rock
cress, the woolly leaved chickweed,
many hardy pinks, Siebold's day lily
Fischer's horned poppy, lavender cot
ton, woundwort and woolly thyme.
Some of these are decidedly silvery
Others incline to a blue cast which is
most pronounced in the globethistles
and seahollies. Such colors are so I'M
usual in nature that 1t is easy to over
do them in gardens.-Country Life in

How Panama Became Independent

Panama was formerly a state, one
of the Omitted States of Colombia" )"
Our government had been trying to
buy from Colombia the right to build
a canal across Panama. We had Of
fered $10,000,000, but Colombia stood
out for $25,000,000.
One night, without warning, "pro-
visional government" was set up in
Panama. 1t proclaimed that state an
independent republic. 1t is claimed
that this sudden reolution was planned
in Washington either by President
Roosevelt or with his approval.
President Roosevelt promptly recog-
nized the new republic. The $10,000,-
600 we had offered to pay Colombia
was paid to Panama instead. We
received from the republic of Panama
and not from Colombia, whatever
rights we have in the canal zone.

Greedy Colombians

Although the treaty is approved by
the Colombian government, some of
the "jingoes" in the Colombian con-
gress are denouncing it as letting the
United States off too easily. They
want the amount of indemnity raised
from S25, 100000 to S1OO,OOO,OOO.
1t was the unreasoning greed of this
element that caused the trouble in the
first place. Colombia could we'll have
afforded to give the United States
the right of way without a dollar of
payment for no country will be more
