COUlTER'S HE'LL.
Man Who Discovered Americas Won
derful Curiosity Considered Insane.


At a recent gathering in Milwaukee
a well-known minister was called on
to tell a story, and this is what he
told:
Did you ever hear of Coulter's
hell? OF the two men lost by the
great Lewis and Clark expedition OF
1903, on it's long journey through the
northwest, one was a man named
Coulter. He was captured by Indians,
who stripped him and set him TO run
ming the gauntlet.
"Outrunning their blows, he snatch
ed a spear from the last Indian, killed
him with it, and ran into the noun
tains, naked and wounded, but at last
free and armed. Wandering toward
the southeast he presently found him
self in a land where the forces OF ma
ture appeared to have gone mad to-
gether. Rivers from which he sought
to drink, ran hot water, boiling foun-
tains gushed hundreds of feet in the
air, VOLCANOES of black mud vomited
at him, bubbling fountains OF snow
white mud gushed around, with 9TH
ers of crimson and blue and green.
A mountain of pure sulphur crystals
rose on one hand, and from beside
stream rose another composed OF
black glass, almost as clear as win
dow pane.
AT last, escaping from the place,
he was found by some trappers, VINO
clothed him and took him to st. Louis,
where they reported him as one whose
mind had been wrecked by his expert
ences. Wherever he told Of the fright
full country which he swore he had
seen. men roared with mirth at the
yarn, and made him tell and retell 1t,
till within a few years it went all over
the west as an example of the effect
of the horrors of being lost on the hu-
man mind. 1t was commonly known
as the story Of Coulter's hell, and
under that name it frequently ap-
peared in eastern papers in the early
'3Os and '4Os. Coulter himself finally
died, regarded to the last as a hope
less maniac.
And, then, in 1869, some Montana
trappers wandered into the region and
came back with the astounding tale
that Coulter had told the truth, and
had never been insane at all. The
government Immediately rushed SOL
diers and scientists into the country,
and before long it became the Yellow
stone National park. And that is the
story of Coulter's hell.
1T strikes me, however" added the
minister. " that the story has moral
to the effect that there is a certain
other hell, in whose existence some
people still do not believe, but of
whose reality they are likely yet TO
learn"

THE FAMOUS IRON CROSS
Kaiser Has Revived Coveted Insignia
Bestowed for Valor.

Shortly after the opening Of hostili-
ties the German kaiser, following the
precedent established by William l, re-
instituted the famous Order Of the
Iron Cross. The New York Stats
Zeitung furnishes an interesting his
tory of this coveted mark Of distinc-
ton which is awarded solely for the
performance Of deeds of the highest
valor on the field Of battle.
King Frederick William III, Of Prus-
sia, founded the Order on March l.,
1913, as a reward for services rendered
to the Fatherland in the Napoleonic
wars. The plainness Of the iron in
sigma was intended to remind it's
wearers of the hard times that had
brought it into being. 1t was a small
iron Maltese cross inlaid with a mar
row silver band just inside the beveled
age. The only other marks upon 1t
were three oak leaves In the centre,
the royal initials F. w. surmounted by
small crown, and the date 1913. AS
is customary in the case Of royal or
ders there were two classes and a
grand cross, the latter twice the regu-
lar size In 1S41 a permanent endow-
ment was added, paying fixed annual
sums to the wearer Of the decoration.
On July 10, 1870, the day that France
again declared war on Prussia, the
Order was received by King William
l on the same conditions as originally
instituted At that time the three oal'
leaves were dropped, and the letter w.
the crown and the date 1870 were sub
stituted for the original marks, but the
three leaves were restored by an order
of the Imperial Council in 1895. The
decoration as revised in 1870 has been
bestowed on 4S,574 German warriors
of all classes, including those coming
from German states outside of Prus-
Sia.
The Grand Cross is conferred only on

An Ancient Industry.

The gold beaters' art Is one Of the
oldest Of the industries, and it is car
ried on today much the same as it was
in ancient days, but new process Of
making gold leaf has been recently in
troduced in England, which bids fair
to make revolution in art. In max
ing these waferlike sheets by the new
process ring Of aluminium about five
feet in diameter and about five and a
half inches in width Is employed and
this is coated with a solution Of gum,
and after drying is busted with some
metallic powder in a thin layer. At
ter this layer has been polished an
electro deposit Of nickel is made upon
the polished layer Of baser metal ana
gold is then electro deposited on the
nickel. Each Of the four layers is very
thin, and the composite layer is said
to be thinner than the ordinary gold
leaf When the formation Of the leaf
has been completed, the film is cut to
expose the soluble base layer Of gum
and the ring is immersed in solvent
liquid which dissolves the gum and the
metal film falls onto a band moving
at the same rate as the ring, which
last it rotated in the dissolving liquid,
the film and paper being finally cut
into book size.

Glad He Was Right.-Charles Coch-
ran, who arranged the recent big
boxing matches and the Wonder Zoo
at Olympia. London, recently told
this story:
"A crowd of little boys was stand
ing about the entrance of travel
ing circus. each trying to get a
elimpse of the wonders within. An
elderly gentleman, who looked as
kind-hearted and benevolent as
Father Christmas, happened to be
passing He stopped and smiled
first at the boys and then at the man
guarding the entrance. This man
smiled back, and so did the boys.
then. as he put his hand in his trous-
ers pocket the old gentleman said to
the attendant:
Let all those boys in and count
them as they pass"
There was a chorus of "Oh, thank
YOU, sir!" from the greatful boys
and the attendant counted swiftly as
they trooped in. AS the last boy
disappeared within the ten he turned
to the kind hearted old gentleman:
Thirty sir" he said.
That's good" said the old gent
leman happily. Il guessed just
right" Then he continued his walk.

corps. The great European armies all
have this as the grand unit. 1t COM
prises in itself a complete army OF
around 10000 men including 1000
cavalry and such artillery, ETC., as will
make 1t, to the extent Of it's strength,
a fully self sufficient force. 1t Is al
most invariably recruited from a GER
tain territory so that neighbors fight
side by side. Except the officers, VINO
are increasingly with their rank ma
ture or elderly men, the soldiers hith-
erto engaged have been mere youths.
England's insular position enables her
to dispense with conscription and rely
(besides her territorials, like our mill
tia) upon a paid army like our own.
Both the French and German standing
armies are composed of lads between
the ages of Is and "a, third OF their
number being succeeded by new re-
cruits every year. 1t is these, in the
German, French and Belgian armies,
who have done about all the fighting
thus far. AS first Line reservists reach
the front older men will come into ac-
ton, and further calls will bring out
men whose military service dates back
many years. 1t is not in the earliest
battles that widows and orphans are
made. But surely few worse things
can happen than the sacrifice OF a
country's vigorous young men; the
strongest plea against modern war
rests upon the fact that, unlike anci-
ent war, sparing non combatants, it
eliminates only the fit. And men OF
all ages and conditions of life are be-
ginning to fall as this earth shaking
conflict goes on toward the climatic
stage.-Charlotte Observer.

Of Shoemaking in America.-Thom
as Beard, arriving by the Mayflower
in 1929, was the first shoemaker tc
come from England to America. He
settled at Salem. Mass.
More than $3.50, 100000 is now in
vested in American shoemaking and
more than 100000 wage-earners are
employed.
Before 1850 practically every shoe
making process was a hand process.
Lynn, Mass, with over 100 facto-
ries is the leading shoe city Of the
world.
OF the worlds boots and shoes
more than AZ per cent are made In
Massachusetts.
John Brooks Nichols Of Lynn
adapted the Howe sewing machine tc
sew the uppers of shoes in 1851; and
this was the first important step in the
application of machinery to shoe
making.
William F. Trowbridge at FELTON,
Vile, now a part Of Marlborough
Mass, applied horse power to the
shoemaking machinery Of 1855 Steam
and water power came later.
The poet Whittier, was shoemak-
er in his youth. Henry Wilson, eigh-
teenth vice president of the United
States, was the "Natick cobbler," and
was always proud of his shoemakine
days.
Ebenezer Breed Of Lynn. Is credited
with securing by his personal infiu-
ence the first protective tariff on shoes

THE COLDEST PLACE.
Thermometer Drops to Eighty Below
Zero at Verkhoyansk, Siberia.

The Siberian natives of the vast ST.
berian province of Yakutsk, extending
clear into the Arctic ocean, in the sec
ton around Verkhoyansk, dwell in
what is probably the earths coldest re-
gion. Here the soil is eternally frozen
for hundreds of feet downwards and
the mercury often records so degrees
below zero. At the height of summer

| admiXture of earth and ice, affording
foothold for the gray tundra moss and

yurtas, or semi underground huts, and
few one-story cottages, inhabited by
Russian administrative officials
For ten months the country is a
dreary trackless sea Of snow. During
the brief summer thaw of two months
the tundra, as the open country is call =
ed, is an impossible swamp.
The chief possessions of the natives
are reindeer, dogs and a breed Of very
robust ponies. Through the long win

the moss beneath the snow, which they
dig up with their hoofs
Most of the natives live in "yurtas, "
crude wooden huts, the sloping walls
of which are covered with a thick layer
of turf and stones. For window
glass" they use OK bladders in sum-
mer and sheets of thick glass of poor
quality in winter. Along the walls
inside the dwelling run low mares, or
benches. that serve as seats by day and
beds by night.
The yurta is divided into two parts.

the SahlcS follow them. The trapper is
