PANCUITCH LAKE LARGEST
EVER KNOWN THIS YEAR

Panguitch Lake has never before
been so large according to letter re-
ceived in the local forest office from
one Of the forest rangers. The water
is within twenty inches of the top of
the concrete dam and is expected to
run over the dam in few days. This
is due to the exceptionally heavy
SHOWS of the past winter.

street, and as they are of quick grow
ing varieties, they promise an abun-

ODD GIFTS FOR PRESIDENTS
Many and Various Tributes OF Anee

miring inscription, "the greatest cheese
in America for the greatest man IN
America" II was conveyed to WASH

insisted upon paying for it, and 1t last

Facts About Corn Culture.

The tribes of North America saw
the possibilities Of corn and FASTENED
its evolution. There has been cross
breeding by white farmers, yet, as a
matter Of fact, the corn culture Of the
present day Is practically as 1t came
from the hand of the Indian. He has
adapted and modified 1t to various sec
lions Of the country by a process OF
careful selection.
Recently 1t occurred to some scien.
fists that despite the drawback Of the
weather the Mandan Indians Of the
North were raising corn. An expedi
ton made a study Of the agricultural
methods of the Mandany, and it devel
oped that for centuries the farmers Of
the tribes had been developing hardy
corn. The seed had been selected from
year to year from stalks which showed
no effect from frost.

Fill your pipe from my pouch and I'll

REAL GENIUSES NOT "QUEER"
For Instance, Taking insufficient
Nourishment Cannot Be Taken as
Mark of Brilliancy.

The legend that Meredith lived on
the contents of a sack of oatmeal while
he wrote his masterpieces is pure
myth, writes st. John Ervine in the
Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. He was
particularly addicted to the pleasures
of the table and could not have writ
ten his books on diet of oatmeal. HIS
letters are full of references to FOOD
and wine and, like Doctor Johnson, he
contemplated writing a cookery book.
He had the capacity, which every man
of genius has, of being highly interest
ed in the most ordinary things.
1t is your third-rate person who Is
not interested in food and drink ana
the common things of life. Your man
of genius demands that these things
shall be so attended to that he can
appreciate them at their best. More
over, since eating and drinking are
necessary to all of us. he wishes them
10 be done in such a way that he shall
not be diverted from his job by COM
plants of the clumsy and insufhclent
arrangements for them.
Herbert Spencer complained of the
stupid spouts that manufacturers put
on iugs-so that it is impossible TO
pour liquid out of them without spill
ing it-and he went to the trouble to
invent paper fastener because he
was dissatisfied with those in common
use. A third-rate person would have
been much too superior to think OF

BIGGEST OF EARTH'S VALLEYS
Giant Crack in Surface Extends Over
One-Sixth of the Circumference
of the World.

The Great Rift valley, as it is called
by Prof j. w. Gregory, extends over
one-sixth Of the circumference of the
earth, remarks the London Times.
1t begins in Lebanon, follows the
canyon of the Jordan and the Dead
sea and crosses high divide" to be-
come the deep ford of the Gulf or
Akaba between the highland of Edom
and Sinai. The Red sea, great
trough 1900 feet deep, measured
from the summit of it's rocky wall to
the sea bottom, continues 1t between
the high deserts of Nubia and Arabia
to the narrow neck of Bab-el-Mandeb.
II strikes across Abysslnia to Lake
Rudolph, runs almost due south
through British East Africa and
traverses a range 1000 feet high to
Lake Natron, in what was German
East Africa. Where ii crosses the
Uganda railway Its walls are so steep
that the trains used TO be hauled up
or lowered by cables. 1t Is continued
by the rift which holds Lake Nyasa,
an inland ocean. whose surface is l,6OO
feet above sea level. with depth OF
TOO feet below sea level.
From Nyasa 1t runs down the Shir
valley, crosses the Zambesi and ends
| in the Indian ocean at the Sabi river
In Gazaland. A minor branch forms th'
/ lower end and gigantic arm stretche:
from the upper end of Nyasa through
Tanganyika, the second deepest LAKE
in the world, its bottom LOGO feet be
low sea level, to the upper Nile.
We are accustomed to think Of val
leys as having been formed by erosion
but the Rift valley is clearly the result
Of some more catastrophe agency
There have been differences Of opinion
as to the mode of its formation within
the historical period. But the discov
cry of fossil mammals, of types lon
extinct, makes 1t impossible to regar'
the laundering of the Dead sea as CO
incident with the destruction Of Sod
ON and GomOrrah.
