movement. Here, looking down into .
crevasse, one sees nothing but clean snow,
piled In layers; slightly compacted and
loosely granular snow, called nsvs in the
Swiss Alps. Gradually, % the current
sweeps along, it compacts, under the
pressure ana the surface MEETINGS, into
hard, denae, blue ice.
In glowing contrast to this marvellous
spectacle OF ice are the gardens of wild
flowers surrounding the glaciers, pushing,
wherever the rock and ice will permit, up
the giant slopes. These fowery spots are
called parks - Spray Park, st. Andrews
Park, Henry's Hunting Ground, Paradise,
Summerland, and many others.
GARDENS OF WILD FLOWERS.
"Above the forests" writes John Muir,
"there is a zone of the ioveliest flowers,
fifty miles in circuit and nearly two miles
wide, so closely planted and luxurious that
1t seems as il nature, glad to make an open
space between woods so dense and ice SO
deep, were eoonomizing the precious
ground and trying to see how many Of her
darlings she can get together in one
mountain wreath-daisies, anemones, COL
umbine, erythroniums, larkspurs, etc.,
among which we wade knee-deep and
waist deep, the bright corollas in myriads
touching petal to petal. Altogether this
is the richest subalpine garden have ever
found, perfect flower elysium."
The lower attitudes Of the park are
densely timbered with fir, cedar, hemlock,
maple, alder, cottonwood, and spruce.
The forested areas, extending to an alti-
tude OF about $500 feet, gradully decrease
in density of growth after an altitude OF
1900 feet is reached, and the high, broad
plateaus between the glacial canyons pre-
sent incompatible scenes OF diversified
beauties, seemingly arranged to suit every
taste.

REMARKABLE GLACIERS.

More than twenty glaciers, great and
small, clothe Rainier; rivers OF ice, with
many OF the characteristics of rivers of
water roaring at times over precipices like
waterfalls; rippling and tumbling down
rocky slopes : veritable noisy cascades;
rising smoothly up on hidden rocks to
foam, brook like, over its lower edges.
Each glacier, whether originating at
the bright summit or in vast springlike
cirques, begins in even, immaculate snow.

HARNESS THE AEROPLANE

TT is admitted that are backward in aviaton-not
in accomplishment the part of our inventors and
skilled aviators. but in that large development
Of aviation which makes for the mastery Of the air in
war.
In both army and navy great activity in aviation will
result from the experience OF the war in Europe This
is a matter Of course We shall train avators-but
shall use them? Is there anything which aviaors
do OF useful character? Cannot something be done
more dignifed and respectable than looping the loop
before crowds Of gaping sghtseers?
There is field for them in the carrying of the mails
There are many localities whchmght be served by
aerial mail lines with great advantage
Would it pay? AS matter OF money. it might and
might not; but IL would train for air service If
the country should ever need them. In view of tire
value Of the airmen the armies of Europe,
not that worth while spending money for? And it
not better give these the consciousness of sev
ing in peace rather than subject them the demoraza-
ton OF barren and useless existence while waiting for
war?
as eyes to hunter An army without air service is
helpless in coping with provided with it. And the
aeroplane is quite as necessary to the navy The
ship scours the sea for hundreds Of miles while the
scoutship would be going So keeps the fleet informed
OF conditions searches the depths for submarines and
Is in short, a naval necessity.
Congress has refused appropriate money try
acceptance mail service though often requested In this
congress is to blame.
There should be a working arrangement among the
three departments-army. navy and the postofce de-
partments-by which the postal service may become
school for atrmen. The airship should afford young
men Of daring and hardihood chance to earn hon
est living while preparing for military service

WATCH YOUR STEP.

. M the only Friday the thirteenth on the 1915
schedule To the superttious. it is day OF
fear and horror but the ordinary individual who takes
no stock signs and superstons 1t is just an ordinary
day different perhaps from other days due the fact
It gives chance for mrth and merriment at the ex-
pense Of the fellow who breads the day To make today
even more fearful than usual the fearful ones. the
fact is known that the day falls the dark OF the
moon as this is a sure sign OF added distress.
Just what grounds there for silly supetittons is
hard to understand and those who believe in them
could not be induced by means to think Inherent
There is small chance Of making man who believes
that to sit down table with twelve others IS to court
trouble that he right in his opinion but can any
sane man give why thirteen at table should
bring bad luck any more than FIVE or six or seven
at table should bring i'll fortune Certainly instances
can be pointed out where thirteen have gathered
round the festive board and trouble has quickly fol-
lowed but just as many could be brought to light
where disaster has followed gathering OF less mem
bers The fact Of the matter is that some person de-
ded that thirteen unucky and since this has
been considered hoodoo number and has been played
up along those lines with the result that no person has
ever paid any attention to the fact that trouble has
been connected with other numbers besides the one
which has been made the recognized fatal one.
It is curious fact that there many who delight
In being connected with the number thirteen with all
the vgor Of effort that others to avoid it Several
ball players than whom there none supposed more
superstitious insist that there Is absolutely moth
ing to the number thirteen that brings bad luck and
who insist on being connected much as possible with
that number, not because it is hoodoo but because
they claim that it brings good luck rather than bad

question Of when and when not Mexican Is in ear

Ing individual the face OF the GLOBE bar and
every the part Of citizen OF Mexico must be

II would be well for the United States officials to take
the offer Of villa with grain OF salt and not be too
anxious to accept his proposal until they have nvest

DANGEROUS!

the winter, bought an expensive fuE
cap in this country to give to his
gamekeeper. Two years ago last win
ter he took it over and presented II
to the old man, who was deIl5nIeo
with it.
The cap was very servicable, having
ear.faps, and would wear almost a
lifetime. The next winter the Amer,
lean again returned to Scotland and
noticed 10 his surprise that the old
man did NOT wear the fur cap.
What is the matter with the cap
