Saltwater Cataracts.

There are good many saltwater
cataracts in existence. They may be
found in Norway, southern Chile
and British Columbia, where narrow
lords, or arms of the sea, are OBJ
structed by barriers of rock. The ris-
ing tide flows over and filters through
ssch reefs into the great natural res
'ervoirs beyond, but the water is held
back at the ebb until it breaks over
the obstruction in an irresistible tor
rent. Most curious of all is the wa
terfall at Canoe Passage, where the
island of Vancouver approaches the
British ColS,mbia mainland. Here the
tood tide from the Gulf of Georgia to
the southwark is held back at a mar
row cleft between two islands until it
pours over in boiling cascade 18 feet
high, with perhaps double the volume
Of the Rhine. At the turn of the tide,
however, the waters from the north
rush back into the gulf, producing a
cascade of equal height and volume
The waterfall actually flows both
ways.

RACE MARK IN THE FACE

No eloquence OF tongue, nothing that

the heart as does that elusive quail

is true less Of the obvious physical as.

nOtations. All the world knows the

ROBERT L. MARTIN
SUES FOR DAMAGES

Boulder, Colo, Dec. 27.-A damage
suit for s46,115, the largest recorded
in Boulder court for several years,
was filed against the Denver, Boulder
G Western railroad this morning by
Robert L. Martin OF Denver thru
his attorney, JOHN D. Milliken. The
suit is an echo of the railroad wreck
at Eldora on July rs, 1913.
Martin alleges that he was perma-
nently injured when the passenger
coach in which he was riding over
turned and that as a result he had to
resign a position which paid him
$3.50 per month salary and $50 per
month for expenses. In addition to
his salary, he asserts, he was able
to earn $4,000 annually on the side.
He AYERS that he was in perfect
health until the accident. When the
train was overturned, he says, he
was caught between two seats and
sustained internal injuries from which
he never recovered. He itemized
his losses as follows: Doctors bills,
$407; medicine, $40S; nursing, $500; /;
lost salary, $500; lost business.
$12.5 500; permanent damages, $25 1000;
total, $46,115.

Chinese Amulet.

One of the commonest amulet'
worn by an only son in China is ;
small silver lock, according to tho
authors of THE Book Of Talismans.
The father collects coins from abou
a hundred different heads of families
and has them exchanged for silver
which is converted into native pad
lock used to fasten silver chair
round the boys neck. This, it is be
lieved, will preserve him from evi
spirits, lock him to life and contribute
to his health and longevity.
