IS REAL AMERICAN WONDER
Newly Examined Glacier In an Unex-
pIored Region May Be Biggest
In the Rockies.

We had reached a point of vantage
whence we could overlook the whole
Of the unexplored region of the
Rockies from Laurier Pass on the
south to the Lizard region on the
north. No great secret could be con-
cealed from us.
What did we see?
A glance showed us that there was
no heaven-kisslng peak 'taller than
Mount Robson" writes Paul L. Ha-
worth In Scribner's Magazine.
But there were several magnificent
mountains higher than any along the
Finlay. Much the finest of all these
lay far to the northeastward. 1t was
vast affair with three great sum-
mits, two of them peaks, the third and
tallest an immense square block.
This mountain was big enough to
have aroused our enthusiasm, and yet
we gave comparatively scant heed to
Ii.
Far down the south slope Of 1t, fill
ing a great valley miles and miles
wide, there flowed a perfectly i'm
mense, glistening glacier.
"That is what makes the Quadacha
white" Joe conceded.
There could be no doubt about IL.
For long time had realized that 1t
would require a good-sized rock mill
to grind up enough silt to color such
a big stream as the Quadacha. but
where was a mill big enough for the
job?
We were at least forty miles from
II, for we were not fully twenty miles
west of the works, and from the forks
to the glacier must be at least twenty
more. We were eight as one must
travel In that region. Yet there that
great white mass loomed up far and
away the most notable phenomenon in
that whole magnificent panorama. It
is tNe biggest thing in the whole Fin
lay country. I venture to predict that
when the glacier has been more closely
examined 1t win be found to be one of
the biggest, IL not the very biggest,
in the whole Rocky Mountain system.

BEAUTY IS NOT LONELINESS
Women May Possess Both ouaIifica-
tlons, but Q Combination ls
Rarely to Be Found.

Beauty" at least as distinct from
''loveliness." is a big word. writes Mar
garet Steele Anderson In Louisville
Post. It has a certain splendor. 1t has
q certain amplitude. You use 1t for
the great things OF the world; for the
Parthenon and the lost chryselephan-
tine FIVE of Jove and of Athene; for
the epics of Homer and Milton, as for
Troy and the first host OF Lucifer; for
the music of Bach and Beethoven /;
for the face of Helen and the body of
Brunhilda or Of Siegfried.
But 'loveliness" is a very different
word-a smaller word and slighter, a
word more delicate, more tender. It
applies to the more human things.
Helen is not lovely, she Is beautiful
but, with rare exceptions, the women
of Shakespeare have certain appeal
Ing loveliness. Juliet is lovely. for all
her strength and courage; the lowell
ness of Rosalind is piquant and that
Of Beatrix also; Miriam da's is wild
and timid loveliness. tlst of Desde-
mona is most tender. that of Ophelia
most tragical and touching. Portia,
too, is lovely and Olivia-though these
two. we admit. do barely escape being
beauties; Viola, like Celia. has sort
Of dainty loveliness, while Cordelia.
Lear's daughter Cordelia, is as lovely
as Juliet herself.

sea.Llon Performers.

Any boy who has gone to a circus
knows what remarkable "stunts" sea-
lions can perform--human beings can't
do some of them. There is, of course,
the trick of balancing big ball on
their snouts and tossing it from one to
another In that way. The sea-lion or
chestra is not particularly musical, but
the animals can create an awful din
by means Of horns, drums and bells.
The more clever Of them can walk up
a ladder and down, with baton on
their snout; while Others roll over or
dive when there is tank. Each train
er tries new tricks with his lions, max
ing sure at first that he can do all the
most common ones.

The educated woman In Russia. even
prior to the revolution, enjoyed po-
sition OF freedom equal to that OF any
other country in the world. She was
frequently found as owner and man
ager of large factories and estates;
she got her degrees at the universities
along with men; she was given posts
as teachers of all kinds, including pro-
fessorships at mems universities, and
she practiced medicine and dentistry.
There was a marked tendency to en-
courage her entering the legal profes.
sion, and the constitutional democrats
In the duma wanted to admit her to
the duties of jury service. When WON.
en- teachers and professors had served
twenty years they were entitled to
retire on a government pension, and
II they died and were survived by hus-
bands, the pensions continued during
their husbands lives.

AMERICANS GO THE LIMIT
Speed Of Motorcycles Used by United
States Soldiers Attracts Atten-
tlon In Paris.

All Paris Is familiar now with the
sight of huge motorcycles ridden by
big fellows in campaign hats and guild
ed through the streets at alarming
speeds by sure and steady hands, says
a war correspondent. 1t seems that
the ordinary French motorcycle has
something like three horsepower, while
these American military motorcycles
develop IL horsepower. This leads the
French to observe that Americans love
power and a lot of 1t. In their ma
chimes they must have ii.
One Of the Paris papers has been at
pains to look up a record made In a
24hour race on the Sheepshead Bay
track not long ago. Somebody on a
mechanical red devil with two wheels
maintained during that period, IT
seems, an average speed Of a hundred
miles an hour. The French commen-
tator notes the figures, and hopes that
the American staff motorcyclists who
carry dispatches between American Of
ficers and the various bureaus of the
French war department will not make
It a point of national honor to equal
the Sheepshead Bay record on the
Boulevard Saint-Germain. One fan
cies that the Frenchman who makes
the uggestion-mildly, as he says
really thinks that the mad Americans
are quite capable of going anywhere as
fast as their machines will let them.

Historic Pennant Sold.

An interesting relic was sold In
Glasgow the other day. 1t was the
old yellow silk pennant of the Earls
of Marchmont, on aich are the st.
Andrews cross, the lion rampant, and
other heraldic devices. The pennant
lie in fragile condition and Is thought
to date back to the fourteenth or fif-
teenth century. 1t is satisfactory to
know that this interesting relic Of an
earlier day was purchased by Scots
man, and therefore will remain In
Scotland.

One day a few months ago q wiz
ened old woman, clad In quaint fur
coat. sat for two hours In the lobby Of
a New York hotel. clutching a leather
grin. Several bell boys attempted to
relieve her of the bag, but she mo-
TONED them away with a frightened
gesture. Finally one of the managers
approached and asked II he could aid
her In any way.
aYes. Tell me when the train for
Ty Cobb goes7' she asked with a sigh.
"Pve been watching that man for two
hours, waitin' for him to call a train,
but he hasn't called once" And she
pointed to the resplendent door man
who stands at the top of the steps In
side the main entrance of the hotel.
But this Is not a station; it's a
hotel" the manager told her.

off the subway and walked where they
told me, and ended up here"
The manager assured her that she
had wandered into the wrong building,
and then he asked again where she
was going.
"Tm going on the New Haven rail-
road to Ty Cobb. Connecticut" she
said. II live in Brooklyn, and I'm go
ing to see my son-in-law."
"Ty Cobb7"
The manager and the information
clerk searched the time tables and
railway guides. Finally the informa-
ton clerk had an idea.
"Coscob," he said.
That's IT," replied the old woman.
II knew Ty Cobb sounded funny, but
I've heard 1t somewhere"
Under the direction of bell boy,
she went to the Grand Central station,
where she finally got on board her
train.

WHAT SOLDIER BOYS EAT
Meat Served Twice. Daily With Good
Supply Of Other Substantial
Food-Crave Dainties.

The old idea that army diet should
consist largely of beans, hardtack and
coffee. is no longer approved. In the
present training camps meat, prefera-
bly, beef, is served twice a day, with
white bread baked In the general camp
bakery and kept "a hours before serv-
ing. Where green vegetables can be
obtained they are used, otherwise
canned goods are substituted. Coffee
is served at breakfast and buttermilk,
lemonade, tea, cocoa or water at other
meals. Meals, which In the vernacu-
lar are 'mess" or "chow," are served
cafeteria style. Every soldier is fur
nished with an outfit which consists
of a meat pan, knife, fork and spoon,
and long handled cup. The cover of
the meat pan serves as a plate, and
the outfit is SO arranged that each man
may do his own cooking in case of an
emergency.
Each man takes his meat pan and
passes before a table where he is serv-
ed with the various dishes prepared.
He then goes to table, or Ii there is
none, drops down on the ground, and
eats in absolute contentment. Don't
feel too sorry for the boys, even IL they
do write longingly home wishing for
mothers cookies or James fried chick
en-, Belle Case Harrington writes in
Leslie's. Men In outdoor training have
good appetites, and they are far better
off physically than If fed on the salads
and ices and sodas they probably
would have at home. What they miss
most is sweets. If you are sending
things from home put In cookies, can
dies and jams or jellies. Milk choco-
late is one Of the things a soldier seems
to crave, and a jar of matted milk
will come handy If he is not feeling
well. Be sure not to send food that Is
too rich. The boys are on plain diet,
with extremes of climate, and some
times doubtful water supply-and boys
never do have sense when 1t comes to
eating!

hatch makes nothing of thrillers.

The winter hawks occasionally try
to catch asleep this weasel of bird.
The nuthatch, however, can scuttle
around a tree trunk, thrice outpacing
the squirrel at the same trick. The
bird braves the bitter cold, and If 1t
knew how 1t probably would hearten
us In the winter days with something
more cheerful than "Quank, quank."
1t does not know how, however, and
so we must take 1t for its beauty and
its society and let the rest go.

Coming to Norwich in early life, she met and married Luke Kingsley in 1882. For years their home was one where young people loved to gather, and many were the good times she gave her neighbors and friends. Most generous, what ever she had she was anxious to share with those about her. A loving mother not only to her own but to stepchildren during the last year of frail health she was lovingly cared for by sons and daughters. She was a faithful com municant of Sacred Heart church.

 There are various kinds of sweet corn, some small, almost dwarf, and some exceedingly tall and stout. I have never seen any kind of flint field corn which wot'd produce as much sheer weight cf stalks, on my land, as, say Stowell'a Evergreen sweet corn. Of purely silage corn, grown never for. ears but solely for cutting up, have had no personal experience. Very likely it may be, larger than any other.

 We can any of us tell whether a piece of land is sour or not, and whether 1t needs Inning or not by planting a crop on 1t and letting the failure teach us.

Cwritten Specially For The Bulletin.)
 The other day Long Island corres- pondent of a professedly daily paper wrote to it's editor, asking if sweet. corn stalks were worth more than others as COW feeds He explained that he had been feeding sweet-corn stalks ''and the cows ate them them about all up. But as soon as I changed to oth- CT cornstaiks. they left nearly all the stalks, just ate the leaves"
 The editor answered in the usual perfunctory way that sweet-corn stalks are somewhat the more palata- ble but there is very little, if any, more nutriment in sweet-corn stalks, and it is questionable whether they have a superior feeding value" Fed dry they might be worth slightly more" because more are eaten. How ever. 1t wouldn't be profitable to grow sweet-corn for silage because the tom yield per acre would be Considerably less" Etc, etc.
