The view OF the Teton peaks from

has been the inducement for many a
tourist and sportsman to leave the

The average American, who has only
vague conception Of the natural beau

ines that real alpine forms are found
only In Switzerland, must be surprised
when he first sees the lofty peaks Of
the Tetons. Even q man who has

twice before daring to try Grand Teton
According to local report, this peak
has been assembled only twice, In 1872
and 1894. AS the snowclad mountains

EXercise for Thin Eolks.

When it comes to the question OF
exercise, the thin woman will do well
to remember the old Greek warning.

needs a certain amount of gentle ex-

need and ought not to take up the
violent sports which will do the fat
woman all the good in the world.
There are two outdoor practices. how
ever, which will be of great benefit to
the thin woman One of these is
walking, the other is swimming
When the thin woman walks she
should not try to see how much
ground she can cover in a certain
period of time. Let her walk quietly
and at moderate pace, paying par
Icuiar attention to her breathing.

ECLlPSES OF EARLY DATE
Astronomers Hold Differing Opinions
as to When They Were Officially
Observed In China.

Messrs. Hiyarama and Ogura have
published in the proceedings of the
Toxic Mathematical Physical society
the results of their attempts to fix the
dates OF son early eclipses recorded
In chinese literature. The earliest is
mentioned in one OF the books of the
Shu Ching, where it is recorded that
in the reign of Chung K'ang, the
Fourth emperor of the Hsia dynasty,
there occurred an eclipse of the sun
which had not been predicted by the
astronomers, who were alleged to have
Deen drunk and to have neglected
their duties. Hence the customary
rites for delivering the sun, which
should have been arranged by the as.
tronomers, were in the emergency
performed by other officials without
proper preparation. The emperor ac-
cordingly odered the army to punish
the astronomers. A later document
makes it possible to fix the date of
this event as October 13, 2127 B. c.

shows that there actually was a solar
echpse on that date, but probably not
In china, though the elements of the
motions OF the sun and moon are not
accurate enough to indicate certainly
the path of SO remote an eclipse. The
authors are inclined to think that the
information fixing the date of the
eclipse is due to Chinese astronomers
OF later age. who calculated that an
eclipse occurred on that date and er
roneously supposed that 1t was visible
in China.

bureau of mines OF the United States
department of the interior, in connec-

still, we have no definite information
what it costs to produce this high
priced salt. There is. however, little
possibility that the prices will be
greatly reduced, as all of the known
deposits of the carnotite ores, from
which radium Is at present obtained,
are held very closely by their own
ers; and moreover, these deposits can
not last many years at the present rate

with a rapidly-increasing demand, will

Tho Pity Of self.PIty.

Self-pity is indulged in by most men.
Some more, some less. The human
mind is so constituted that under
certain conditions of stress, it turns
upon itself and says: You poor,
abused thing" The ruination which
is wrought by it appears in the fact
that when a man pities himself he
does so for the very reason that ought
to lead him to self-condemnation He
pities his weaknesses, rather than
reforming them. He coddles his in
firmities. when they need to have the
punishment which pugilists give each
other. No man ever pitied himself
when he is doing the hard things-we
mean. really doing them. While man
is being brave the thoughts of being
abused or i'll treated are impossible
thoughts to him. The business man
who sits down, and while he holds his
face in his hands, bemoans: 81 am
having hard time" needs the dash
of that really cold water which ad-
versity always uses when she would
make strong man.. Self-pity un-
twists the fiber of which manly men
are builded. Hard times make great,
robust, stalwart men-when the sub
stance is there to work on.-Bloom-

they and death keep apart.

Clever Borrowing.

The college stadium is but another
instance of the modern adaptation of
ancient devices to twentieth century
needs In many things the socalled
civilized nations of our day have ex-
celled the ancients of Greece and
Rome, and in many other things they
have not improved much on what had
been accomplished some two thousand
years ago. In science discovery and
invention, especially in regard to
things material and utilitarian, we
have undoubtedly outstripped them;
but in poetry. philosophy, painting,
sculpture. architecture-in short, in
the realm OF the arts-we have made
but little progress, and that not on
particularly original lines. Their
works are still serving as our models,
although occasionally we do succeed
in expanding their ideas to fit our own
larger needs, and the modern stadium
is case directly in point. In this
instance we have borrowed both the
idea and the name.
