GLACIER NATIONAL PARK.

GLACIER is one of the newer Of our
" great outdoor museums" or ma

1,4OO square miles is tumble of noun
tains, glaciers, rivers, lakes and water
falls. which looks like "the Great
Builder had left the odds and ends of
his world making here in one disor-
dered heap
A newspaper man toiled hard to
reach the top of one of the skyland
trails. Resting on a boulder and look
ing far out over the forests, across a
flower-carpeted valley to a superbly
beautiful mountain lake, he declared
he had discovered "Where God sat
when he made America"
The dominating feature OF Glacier
is its magnificently carved Mountains
1t contains some of the most tremen-
dous panoramas in the world. Some
of its peaks remind one Of cathedrals,
others of forts and castles. The suns
and winds of hundreds of years have
tinted their SUBMITS with varying
hues. Often their sides are covered
with great, slow-moving glaciers-ice
fields, some of which travel fully five
inches in year. Between or below
them are splendid forests of pine. The
meadows between these wooded
patches are a riot of wild flowers.
But the supreme beauty of this park
is its mountain-hemmed, mirrorlike
lakes, fed by glacial streams which
tumble down the mountain sides. often
in tall, ribbonlike falls of great beauty.
Add to this an occasional glimpse of
Swiss chalet (fOr the accommoda-
ton Of visitors) and you have an I'M
beatable combination for the true lover
of the wild and the beautiful.

OUR NATIONAL CAPITOL.

TT is but fitting that America-the
i greatest nation in all the world
should have the finest capitol building
on earth. The architectural beauty of
our national capitol building at Wash
ington is most impressive and for capt.
toll purposes, 1t is said to surpass
every other building in the world.
The base Of this immense, SYM
metrically shaped and imposing edifice
tests on level plateau, at an eleva-
ton of 81 feet above the historic Po-
tomac river. The building faces the
east and Is about one mile distant
from the White House. The corner
stone of the original structure, which
comprises the central portion of the
present building and is of Virginia
sandstone, was laid by President Wash
ington on September 18, 1793-125'
years ago. Later, when 1t became
necessary to enlarge the building, two
additions or wings, of Massachusetts
marble, were added. President Fill
more laid the corner stone; Daniel
Webster was the orator. These wings
were burned by the British in 1914, but
were restored. The original building
was completed in 1927.
The present structure Is 751 feet
long and $50 wide 1t covers three
and one-half acres. The central por-
ton is surmounted by one Of the most
graceful, pleasingly shaped and mas
sive domes in the world. This dome is
297 feet high. 1t was completed in
1865. 1t weighs more than 100000
pounds and is topped by a statue of
Freedom almost 20 feet high.
The total value of the building and
grounds is estimated at $50. 100000.

MOUNT RAINIER NATIONAL PARK

t<THE mountain that was God" wrote
John d. Williams. Mount Big
Snow" said the Indian. AT any rate,
the most wonderful mountain in the
United States-its hoary-headed peak
piercing the blue Sky to height of
almost three miles, while its base COW
ers hundred square miles Of territory.
Its Isolation, standing alone as 1t does
instead Of in range, makes its might
ness all the more impressive
Uncle Sam created a national park
around it and thus preserved it as one
of our greatest sights, SO we can all go
and see It and wonder for ourselves.
Like all volcanoes, Rainier built up
its cone from the material thrown out
from its interior. But terrific explo-
sion destroyed It's conelike top and
greatly reduced it's height. 1t has not
been in eruption for nearly so years,
though steam Jets sometimes melt the
snow at its summit and hot springs
flow from Its base.
Twenty-eight glaciers, born from the
snow which covers the mountain ra-
date from its peak and form one of
the largest known glacial systems.
From these great Ice fields there natur-
ally lead off numerous streams and
rivers which find their way, through
beautiful canyons, to the lower alti-
tudes. Below the glaciers, in an open
space which circles the mountain, grow
millions of gorgeous wild flowers, pre-
senting beautiful spectacle as well as
marvellous contrast to the snow
above. Below the flowers are dense
and immense forests Of fir, spruce and
cedar.

The Wonders
of America
By T. T. MAXEY
THE "sEA-GoING" RAILROAD.

YEY WEST is nearer the eastern
N terminus of the Panama canal, by
almost 300 miles, than any other of our
gulf ports. 1t is separated from the
main land by the Florida keys-a more
or less disconnected string Of islands,
composed largely of coral and lime
stone.
To reap the benefit of its strategic
position, however, direct and quick
transportation with the main land was
necessary. A railroad was the an
swer. Its construction was considered
tmpracticable and impossible. But
there are men who will undertake any
thing The late Henry M. Flagler fur
nished the funds and the work was be-
gun in 1905. Men from many climes,
material Of many kinds and new meth
DDS of construction were called into
service. The winds, waves, torrid
sun. many known and unknown fac
tors had to be grappled with and
solved. Even nature had to be over
come. The construction must be storm
proof.
From Homestead, where the extern
sion begins, to Key West, it is 1913
miles. Jumping from island to island
are II miles Of concrete arch viaducts
and six miles Of steel bridges-one Of
which contains 243 spans. The con-
struction Of the line on the islands
proper was comparatively simple.
Joining the island by rail- was the
ticklish job.
Thanks to the genius, grit and I'M
firing efforts of the engineers, one may
now enjoy the heretofore unthinkable
and unique experience of riding from
Key West to Miami in about five hours
on train running, for the most part,
over water instead of on land.

Exciting Incident in the Life of a
Raider Patrol of British
Navy.
SINKING OF The TUaRITELLA
Germans Nearly Fooled the English but
Were Betrayed When They Spelled
Alden With a "T"-Destroyed
the Vessel Themselves.

London.-Little by little the world
is learning some of the romance and
excitement that at times punctuated
the rather prosaic lives of the men who
patrolled the seas and kept the ocean
traffic lanes open for allied shipping.
The dangers that lurked in the Arabian
seas and Indian ocean have been
known in general way from the too
frequent admiralty reports of ships
sunk there by submarines and raiders.
An episode in the life of a raider pa
troll is told by a correspondent of the
London Times, as follows:
At the beginning of March, 1917.
was in III. NJ. S. on the Alden
patrol-a dull job, as all patrolling
jobs are. But we did not pretend to
be pining for the more thrilling occu-
patton of searching for the German
raider Wolf. Her guns could outrange
the guns of our little ship, so effectual-
ly, that, had we met her, we should
probably have been blown out of The
sea before we could put shot any
where near her, and, frankly, we had
no great ueSlfe TO meet ner.
About 10 o'clock one evening sig
mailman appeared at the wardroom
door with message from the bridge,
"FrOm the officer of the watch, sir.
Ship on the starboard bow showing no
lights"
Probably an old tramp scared out
of his wits by these yarns about the
Wolf" suggested someone.
"All these merchantmen are going
about without lights nowadays"
The captain and the navigator went
up to the bridge, where they were
presently joined by the first lieutenant.
The moon was nearly full, casting a
white track across the dark blue car
pet of the sea. 1t was the kind of
night that brings back memories of a
Thames regatta, of lounging in we'll
cushioned punt, and listening to good
band. To connect such night with
German raiders, guns, mines and tor
pedoes was quite impossible; theswhole
setting was entirely wrong
The mysterious ship was now two
points on our port bow, an4 .about
three miles ahead. A thick volume of
smoke pouring from her funnel sug-
gested that she was in hurry, or, at
all events, was not disposed to be So
cable with us. We had been ambling
along comfortably at eight knots; the
order was given to increase to ten.
The shutter of our signal lamp began
to rattle.
"What ship is that?'
Claimed British Registry.
The signalman had to repeat the
question twice before he evoked an
answer.
''Toritella," was the belated reply.
"What nationality" we asked
promptly.
British" was the answer
"What are your signal letters?" was
our next question.
81. F. X. L." came the answer.
We hunted up the name in Lloyd's
list, but without success.
Are you sure you have got his
name right, signalman? Ask him
again"
what is your name?" asked the
patient signalman. This time the mys-
ferrous stranger expanded volubly.
"Turritella, London. Runs for Brit
ish admiralty, Port Said for orders"
What manner of ship was this, who
spelled her name at one time with an

THE AMERICAN DEAD SEA.

IF YOU can imagine lake 100 miles
L long, 25 miles wide, with an average
depth of 20 feet-60 feet is the great
est depth recOrded-almost 1000 miles
inland and 1850 feet above sea level,
you can form some conception of this
world marvel-Great Salt lake.
Its waters are six times as salty as
the ocean. Put five bucketfuls in a
tank, let it evaporate and one bucket
ful of pure salt will be left. A bath
IN its buoyant waters is both delight
full and exhilarating. Saltair-an i'm
mense, crescent-shaped, domed and
lowered bathing pavilion-has been
built out into the lake 1000 feet from
shore.
The lake contains eight islands. Four
rivers empty fresh water into 1t, but
its surface neither rises nor falls. Hav-
ing no outlet, it gets rid of the excess
water by evaporation.
Scientists figure that the lake con-
tains more than S,000000,0OO tons of
salt and almost S00,000,000 tons of sui
phate of soda. Allowing 60 tons to a
carload, that would be 1873, 1888 1873 cars
of salt and 1888, 1888 cars of soda.
Assuming 40 feet as the average length
Of freight car and you have train
of salt 1.010,101 miles long and train
Of soda 101,010 miles long. The aver
age speed of freight train is about 20
miles an hour Running at this speed,
day and night, it would take the two
trains over six years to pass a given
point. The value of these cargoes
would be probably $10,0000O0,OOO.
