The Grand Teton.

The view of the Teton peaks from Ashton, lda., is superb and doubtless has been the inducement for many a tourist and sportsman to leave the main line for the Teton range and the Jackson Hole country in pursuit of elk, sheep, trout and unsurpassed noun tain scenery. Owen Wister's Virgin ian" was glad to get out of these noun tains because, as he explained, they're most too big
 The average American, who has only Il vague conception of the natural beau ties of the Rocky mountains and imag- ines that real alpine forms are found only in Switzerland, must be surprised when he first sees the lofty peaks of the Tetons. Even a man who has climbed the Matterhorn would think twice before daring to try Grand Teton According to local report, this peak has been ascended only twice, in 1872 and 1894. As the snowclad mountains along the Alaskan archipelago, rising to cloud reaching heights, stand with their feet bathed in the ocean, so from viewpoint near Ashton the Tetons, towering to the sky, rise from the bill lowy surface of sea of golden grain.

The Silxar Fox.

The silver fox is really black fox, instead. as some persons suppose, of be- ing almost white or a silver gray. The name is given on account of the pres ence of glistening white and grayish hairs which appear among the black. In the better grades the long, silky brush has tip of pure white. About a quarter of a century ago the little animal, which weighs when full grown only about twelve pounds, became all most extinct. Because of the beauty of its fur the species was trapped un
 til almost the last of them had disap- peared. For long time the standard price offered by the Hudson Bay com pany for silver fox belts was around $1,OOO, and the efforts of the French Canadians, half breeds and Indian trappers to obtain this sum. to them a fortune, can be better imagined than described.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

Howard and Prison Fever.

Typhus, which under the name of prison fever" was once rampant in England, held no terrors for John Howard, the prison reformer. While in a cell he would hold to his nose "a vial of aromatic vinegar and on going home would wash and change his clothes, though even these precautions he later abandoned. People thought his powers bordered on the magical pressed him for his secret and refused to believe his explanations that his immunity was due to fearlessness cleanliness and temperance. He ate no flesh and very little of anything; he drank neither wine nor spirits and went to bed early and rose early. And his asceticism enabled him to let light into the most noisome dungeons and to live to the age of sixty-four.-London Graphic.

Laruest Hydraulic Lift Lock.

The largest hydraulic lift lock in the world is at Petersborough, Canada. It consists of two great steel boxes or pontoons, moving up and down be- tween guiding towers. When boat moves into one of the two pontoons the lock gates are closed behind it. and water is pumped into the other pon- toon until 1t becomes heavier than that containing the boat, which then. being overweighted. rises bodily into the air until 1t reaches the level of the upper canal. The boats are lifted total dis tance of sixty-fve feet, the gates and capstans being operated entirely by hydraulic power. The time of lockage for boats is about twelve minutes, the actual time of the vertical lift bein. one and One-half minutes.-St. Nicho las.
