Vienna in Spanish are simply relics Of

CLIFF DWELLINGS VERY OLD
Head of Surveying Party Says Those
of Utah Were Constructed Many
Centuries Ago.

Cliff dwellings more than 1000
years old and buildings of even
greater. age have been discovered in
Utah, according to D. B. Miller, as
sistant supervisor Of the general land
office, who has been at the head OF
a surveying party in that state for
the last ten months.
'sThe cliff dwellings we found in
Utah undoubtedly are many hundreds
of years DID," said Mr. Miller to a
Washington Post reporter. They
were doubtless built by the Monte
yuma Indians. These Indians also
built on the mesa lands and many in
teresting structures were found be-
meath the surface Of these lands. In
Utah are three natural bridges that
are more wonderful than the natural
bridge of Virginia.
"All are wider and two considerably
higher than the Virginia bridge. One
of these bridges has a span Of more
than 200 feet and the arch is more
than 100 feet from the ground. It
seems almost to have been made by
man. White persons rarely have
visited these wonders of nature.
"The Navajo Indians in Utah are of
course well acquainted with all these
things. The Navajos are essentially
superstitious. They do not mingle
much with the whites, and few Of
them speak English. When one is
found who can speak English 1t is
pretty certain he Is q sharper.

NAMES OF PLACES
Different NationaIities Have Own
Particular Version.
Reason Is Ascribed to contemptuous
Indifference to Things Foreign
That Exists More or Less In
Every Land on the Globe.

Florence, Italy.-The city we and
the English call Florence" is by
Italians called Fiorenza. The name of
the British capital is, to the French,
Londres, and to the Italians, Londra.
By English-speaking peoples the Aus
TRAN capital is referred to as Vienna,
whereas the Austrians spell it Wien.
In addition to these differences there
may be cited Dunkirk and Dunkerque,
Cologne and Koln, The Hague and La
Haye, Geneva and Gent.
What is the reason for these differ
ences? Is it to be sought in philologi-
cal Influences alone, or is it to be
found in that contemptuous indiffer-
ence with reference to things foreign
that exists more or less in every land :?
In the aforementioned case, it has
been pointed out that, had the word
"Londcn" existed at the time the
French word "Londres" came into use,
the French would probably have adopt
ed the English form. But, the French
contend, no London" name was in use
when "Londres" was coined. The
Latin name whereby the British town
first became known elsewhere was
Londinium. The locative case form Of
this noun (the one most often used in
colloquial style) was Londini. It fol-
lowed that, in the continuous inter
change of words and their develop
ment into modern speech, Londini
very easily became Londri in the
speech Of the Frenchmen. Then, as
81" is an indication of Latin plural,
a new difficulty arose. When Londini
was accepted by the French it was for
some time treated, quite mistakenly,
just as French plural noun would be
and spelled accordingly = Londres.
Londres made it's way from France to

MY party went into Utah to survey
the public lands early last April and
remained there until October. During
the entire time not drop Of rain
fell, and it is curious that all the
time we were in that country
we were followed about by an
old Navajo medicine woman, who
persisted in telling the Indians that
SO long as we stayed there no rain
would come.

CHAPTER xxi.
The Great John Rawn.

Far off, deep in the Underground re-
gtons of the city, at the focus of the
republics vast industrialism, the
presses were Keeling and changing
again, heavy with their story of dis
aster. The civilization of the day
went on.
Somewhere out upon the mountain
tops, somewhere in the forests, the
forces Of nature gathered, marched on
toward the sea. Somewhere dumbly,
mutely, accomplishing, the great river
and its mate, the great power, inter-
stellar, not international-they two,
as he but now vauntingly had dreamed,
orstwhile silent partners of John
Rawn-did their work. For
whom? For what? Answer
that, my brothers. The answer is
your own. AS you and l shall speak
in that answer, so shall our children
eat well, sleep we'll, in days yet to
come, in this country which we still
call our own, now all to little ours.
1t was far past midnight when John
Rawn again came down the stair, So
bered and whitened by what he had
seen in the death chamber. He tip
toed now back to the library door,
through which and beneath whose
silken curtains still there pierced a
little shaft of light. He opened the
door, peered in.
He saw Virginia sitting there silent,
white, unagitated, her features cameo
sharp, her skin waxen, indeed marble
white, a woman as motionless, as ST.
lent, apparently as little animate as
the one he had left behind him in the
death chamber beyond the stair. She
turned her eyes, not her face, toward
him, but did not speak The edge of
her gown was moist, stained.
John Rawnl looked in turn at the
long figure upon the couch, motion
less, silent, it's hands folded. Neither
did 1t speak to him. Suddenly op-
pressed, suddenly afraid, he turned
once more away. Irresolution was in
his soul, uncertainty.
Rawn was hardly sure that he still
lived, that he still was the same John
Rawn he once had known 1t seemed
impossible that all these things could
have fallen upon him. who had not de-
served them! He pitied himself with
a vast pity, revolving at the many in
justices of fortune now crowding upon
him, a wholly blameless man. Why,
a day before, he had held in his hand
power such as few men could equal:
had had, presently before him, power
none other ever could hope to equal.
That opportunity still existed But
how now could he avail himself of that
opportunity, how could he go on to be
the great John Rawn, if this figure on
the couch could not rise. could not
speak to him, could not perform the
obvious duty of rendering needful as
sistance to him, John Rawn? The
cruelty of it all ranked in the great
and justice-loving soul of Mr.. Rawn.
Why, he was penniless-he-John
RawnI He was not even sure about
his wife, yonder. She had said things
TO him he could not understand. could
not believe.
He left the room, and walked astill
farther down the hall. his head sag
cling, his lower lip pendulous. his face
warped into a pucker of self-pity-so
absorbed, that first he did not heed
