The drowning of Miss Barr and the
finding Of her body followed the pre-

death by fortune teller whom she
and girl friend consulted In spirit
Of fun. The seer then told Miss Barr
to avoid all trips or voyages upon the
water, and, said she would take such
a trip and would drown. The fortune
teller also predicted that after four
days her body would be recovered.
The girl laughed at the clairvoyant,
but the prophesy was wildly recalled

FEW REALIZE VASTNESS
OF THE GRAND CANYON

Few persons can realize on
first view of the Grand Canyon
that it Is more thaIa mile deep
and from eight to ten miles
wide. The cliffs descending to
it's depths form q succession Of
huge steps, each 300 to 500 feet
high. with steep rocky slopes
between. The cliffs are the
edges of hard beds of limestone
or sandstone; the intervening
slopes mark the outcrops of
softer beds. This series Of beds
is more than $500 feet thick,
and the beds lie nearly horizon
tai. Far down In the canyon is
a broad shelf caused by the
hard sandstone at the base Of
this series, deeply trenched by
a narrow inner canyon cut a
thousand feet or more into the
underlying granite. The rocks
vary in color from white and
buff to red and pale green.
They present a marvellous va
riety of picturesque forms,
mostly on a titanic scale, fash
toned mainly by erosion by rum
ming water, the agent which
has excavated the canyon.

WANT ALL CARS TO BE STEEL
Officials Of Bureau Of Fisheries Max
ing Effort to DispIace All Wood
en- Coaches Now in Use.

Uncle Sam is a great believer in
safety first" In line with this policy
the bureau of fisheries is making an
effort to replace it's wooden cars with
those Of modern steel construction.
One has just been placed in service
and congress has appropriated $4,000
for the construction of two others.
The six cars in use Travelled 1884
miles during the past year and al
though they met with no accidents the
danger to which they are subjected
when used with heavy up-to-date roll
ing stock makes it necessary that the
government should itself use the same
improved equipment which it requires
Of others. These cars are used in
carrying the little fish from the bu-
reau's hatcheries to the waters In
which they are to be planted, a serv-
ice which covers every state in the
country.
