Bad Auto Accident

Tuesday morning about four o'clock
while coming from the Labor day
dance at Crested Butte in an auto,
Misses Inez Hughes and Jennie Robin
son, and Tom Hogan and Billie Bailey,
had what nearly resulted in fatal
accident The stearing gear on the
car became locked so it seems, and be-
fore the occupants were aware any
thing was wrong their car had become
unmanagable, and turned over just
below Glacier, badly injuring Miss
Robinson's hip and cutting Miss
Hughes face, besides a number of
bruises about their bodies. Tom Ho-
gan was badly scratched and bruised,
but Billie Bailey, who was driving,
escaped without scratch
DIR. Hanson was telephoned to as
soon as possible and brought the
young folks to Gunnison, where all
are doing nicely and are thankful it
was no worse.
The car was badly wrecked.

WESLEY READ ON HORSEBACK
And Many Noted Writers Took Their
Walks While Engaged In the
Perusal Of a Book.

Reading on horseback-one Of the
rarer accomplishments of man, accord
ing to Mr. Fisher-was sedulously
practiced by John Wesley.
"History, poetry and philosophy"
Wesley relates, the Manchester Guar
dian recalls, II commonly read on
horseback, having other employment
at other times"
Wesley maintained that this prac-
tice made for safety on long country
rides.
Il asked myself, How is 1t no horse
stumbles when am reading7 No ac-
count can possibly be given but this:
Because throw the reins on his neck.
1 then set myself to observe, and
aver that in riding about 100000 miles
l never remember my horse Except
two that would fall over heels any
way) to fall or make considerable
stumble while rode with a slack
rein"
Shelley used to read when out walk
ing and frequently collided with other
walkers because his eyes were fixed
on a book.
Macaulay was also a pedestrian
reader; so was Southey, who gives
long list Of books read while taking
his evening walk. These range from
"a batch of volumes relating the events
Of the last ten years in Spain" to "the
Nibelungen IN its original old Ger.

PEPPER TREE OF GREAT SIZE
Also 10 OF Quick Growth and lta Drop
ping Branches Are Particularly
Ornamental.

AS the elm or maple tree Is to the
New England village. so Is the pepper
tree (Schinus molle) to southern CAL
ifornia cities and towns. For beauty
OF shape and color, for grace and for
shade. 1t is tree almost unique. Be-
Ing Of quick growth. the pepper tree
soon attains a large, luxuriant size
and the great dropping branches form
cool archways which protect passers-
by from the too vigorous rays Of the
summer sun.
The delicate feather leaves droop
and sway like those Of the weeping
willow. Silvery green. they glisten in
the yellow sunlight, and when the
panicles' or clusters Of tiny pale flow
ers festoon each slender branch, the
whole tree is shimmering, fairy bou-
quet. Soon the path under the arch
ways is sprinkled with the tiny green
ish flowers. and grapelike punches Of
green berries hang from the trees.
Later, as II touched by a mysterious
fire, a vivid red flames from each
branch of berries. The sunshine
glances through the green feathered
leaves upon the swinging punches Of
red fruit, and the trees glow in color.
The breezes lift and turn, shake and
twist the myriad brilliant berries un-
til soon gorgeous scarlet mantle is
spread for all to tread upon.-Chris-
tian Science Monitor.

Laughing In Your Sleeve.

Judging by the fact that we have
this expression in French, German and
Latin, there must be lot Of surrep-
titlous laughter in the world. But
laughs laugh for all that. and it's
good for the digestion. It's hard to
see how anyone could have a laugh In
any Of the tight little sleeves that are
de rigueur this season. There's hard
ly room to have an arm in them. But
not so in the bell" sleeve Of last sum-
mer, which was dlmlnutlve replica of
the sleeves worn by the anclents, who,
not concerned with changing fashions
with the seasons, wore one style long
enough to make II famous. With them,
when anyone seemed to be screening
his face behind the long flowing folds
of his sleeve, there was always the
suspicion that he was Laughing In
his sleeve" And to this day laughing
behind anyone's back, whether 1t be a
fan or a hat that screens 1t, we call
laughing in your sleeve.

WEAR BATTLES ON ANKLES
Girls Of Mozambique Don Then; to Aid
In Keeping Time In Their
Peculiar Dances.

Consider a country as big as the
Atlantic states from Florida to New
York, with the capital near the south
ern boundary. having a population of
more than 300. 900 Inhabitants, of whom
only about / per cent are white. and
you have Mozambique. a Portuguese
colony In Africa to the south of what
was German East Africa, says bull
letin Of the National Geographic So
ciety.
Mozambique is one of the Oldest of
all European possessions, and one Of
the richest in agricultural possibilities,
but is one Of the least known countries
in the world. There are five towns
and small, up-to-date capital city,
with a number Of military posts and
outposts. There are no deserts, salt
sinks, swamps or mountainous wastes.
The colony is altogether inhabited by
about twenty tribes.
Among the curious customs of the
land is the wearing of rattles by the
girls on their ankles at dances. Hol-
low spheres are made Of palm leaf or
grass and are partially filed with large
seeds or pebbles. The noise Of these
ankle rattles is supposed to assist in
keeping time In the dance. Similar or
naments are frequently worn by the
boys.
The popular music used at batuQue
or ball is that of the marimba, or huge
xylophone. which gives out a blood
freezing death chant during the EEK
preston" dances of both men and
women.

Rich UndeveIoped REGION.

The Amazon valley is said to be the
greatest undeveloped region in the
world today; on every side there are
natural resources Of immense value,
with commercial possibilities, which
are as yet untouched. The soil is said
to be extraordinarily fertile. The for
ests offer woods In inexhaustibie vari-
ETY., many of them cabinet woods Of
rare value. OF vegetable oil nuts, a
tenth part only is known to the out
side world. Resins, gums, spices, medic
inal plants, fbers, abound in infinite
variety. Kapok grows along the banks
of most of the main rivers, but not a
pound of 1t is exported to the United
States, although America imported T.
100000 pounds last year from far
away Java. There are minerallzed
areas said to contain coal, iron, gold,
silver and precious metals of many
kinds. They have not yet been pros
pected.

Plants Great Vitality.

There is a creeping moss found in
Jamaica, in Barbados and other
islands of the West Indies. which is
called the "llfe tree" or, more proper
ly, the 'llfe-plant," Its powers of VI
tally are said to be beyond those of
any other plant. II Is believed to be
indestructible by any means except
immersion In boiling water or the ap-
pllcatlon Of redhot iron. II may be
cut up and divided In any manner
and the smallest shreds will throw
out roots, grow and bud. The leaves
Of this extraordinary plant have been
planted in close, alright, dark box,

PARTS OF LOST CONTINENT
Reasons for Believing That South Sea
Islands Were at One Time
Joined Together.

have been reading book on the
South seas which says that there are
reasons to suppose that in some In
stances the numerous islands in the
South seas were at one time parts of
continents. What reasons are there
for such a supposition7 asks CORE
spondent.
The only reasons that we are ia
miliar with are the character Of the
inhabitants Of the islands and their
language. 1t is reasoned that these
islands bear marks of very early habi-
tation by man. Navigation was in its
infancy, as only long boats. propelled
by oars, were known, and they would
not be safe for voyages over rough
seas to search for unknown lands. This
fact and the resemblance Of some Of
the South sea islanders to our race
lends reasonablepess to the suppose
ton that these places were inhabited
while they were still a part Of the
mainland which In some subsequent
age sank in places below the surface
OF the seas. Such a superstition is,
moreover, strengthened by discoveries
from time to time of ocean levels that
seem to have been at one time islands
or parts Of continents. These discov-
cries have been made In different parts
Of the several oceans. 1t is not so long
ago that vast submarine bank was
located by Capt. J. X. Davis Of Doc
tor Mawson's Antarctic ship Aurora,
during an oceanographic cruise. Cap
tain Davis reported that for about 100
miles south of Tasmania the ocean bot
tom deepens to PASS feet; 1t then
rises again to the crest Of ridge $50
miles long by about 100 miles wide,
standing over 1000 feet above the
general level of the neighboring sea
floor. 1t has been concluded that this
ridge was without doubt fragment
Of lost continent.
