 song; Mac never did, and I doubt if the colonel ever did.
 Then that vail of solitude, an old squaws lament for the dead, came drifting up the river from the far lowlands below. I had often heard that wall when a boy, and now it in- dicated the last wall of a passing race and to me it was a poignant sugges- tion of my vanished boyhood days. My companions were asleep, and even the murmur of the curling t%ream appeared as an intrusion. Sud- denly I heard the pat-a-pat of mOcca- sins in the trail; then it stopped and I heard a grunt. Looking round saw an old Indian, one of the most intelligent of his tribe. I produced a new cob pipe, carried for emergency and invited him to a seat on the rock. I desired to get him to talk of his race and their superstitions.
 He had smoked but short time when he compared the pipe to the smoking of the volcano of Mt. Wrang- ell (uniletta). The tobacco was be- ginning to act conducively to the end desired.
 He was a fatalist and believed our every act was predestined. He said the Great Spirit had willed that the Indians should give way to the white people. He said he could feel it. He explained the reason of the vail that again drifted up the river, and said the world was alive; that the vol cano was a sore place; that trees, sbrush and grass (clough) were "a!l same hair" and that man, moose and sheep were "all same lice" Again the lonesome vail vas heard and thl interesting child of the. forest arose and said Gilman" (thanks) for the pipe and tobacco and silently made mocCasin tracks down the trail
 looked et the stars that were be ginning to shine-the lights of which had travelled many thousand years tc reach this planet. Scientists tells us that light travels 186,324 miles per second, and; as 31,558,149 seconds are a sidereal year, when these numbers are multiplied we have what they cal a light year with which they measure the distance. Professor Larkin says the largest telescope indicates 100000 light years of distance. Ask them ii they can comprehend unlimited dis tance and, with shake of the head they reply that that is the nearest they can come to it.
 Suddenly the curtain of the sky ap peared in beautiful aurora, evidently being produced by favorable atmos phereical conditions The waves an( motions were so harmonious and ap peared to possess such unity of actio1 as to suggest life.
 Who knows? If they represent life that can act when conditions are fav orable, then they may represen thought and mental power and ever exert an influence over life incarnate
 For thousands of years an atom ha, been considered by man to be thu smallest mite invisible and the foundation of all things. Now the, have divided an atom into ninety-twc pieces, or parts, which represent act 1on-revolving action and circu1a. mot1on-and those parts are know1 as electrons possessing the same posi- tive and negative power that ho1c sthe plantes to their course. Is thi life in limited form? If so. tht W1ne-befuddled brain of Omar Khav yam was wrong, and so have been al those who asserted that life was Z condition and not an element
 All astronomical movements arr circular, and I believe the earth has double circular movement, and tht gradual changing of the poles holds all spheres of the sky in true form, otherwise they would become elong ated with only one motion. If re VOIV1ng e1ectrOns represent life thav
