SUBMARINE BELL

IN HERE IS certain WarShip skip 1 per who calls attention to the spreading gray about his temples. Not that he Is proud of this mark of age, but because 1t runs no further than his ears. My gray hairs stop" he ex- plains. "because I always know just when to stop worrying"
 His friends. however have one on him." Twas the submarine bell that got the placid shippers goat
 This gadget-as we say in the navy, meaning thingumbob-is q device for transmitting sound signals under wa ter. Large lightships such as Nan tucket have heavy bell suspended dee. in the water. By an automatic device q clapper strikes at regular in- tervals. Each bell along the coast has its characteristic interval and number of strokes.
 All large ships and men-of-war are fitted with receivers for capturing the sound waves set up under water by these bells In the outer bottom is a small box filled with water and con- taining very sensitive diaphragm which vibrates in tune with the bell. Through telephonie connection one may catch the signals from the bridge or any other part of the ship.
 Since the receivers are on each side sound comes most distinctly when the bell is nearly on the beam. From four Rx,n iN aF range.
 One thick March morning our self contained friend was approaching New York. Though he was we'll off-shore the soupy fog made him anxious about his landfall. Putting his submarine telephone to his ear he suddenly heard the clear note of a bell. That's queer" :" he exclaimed. "We oughn't to be any where near the lightship yet"
 He swung the battleship about in order to find which heading plotted out the sound. In this way he could obtain an approximate bearing of the lightship,
 But the bell kept on. It played reg uidi illlliiC1t anu dCNAtao- ing. To the consternation of the skip per he was unable 10 determine either the distance, direction, or character of the crazy thing. Can it be some new kind of enemy internal machine?' he wondered.
 He became frantic. He cursed the navigator, the lightship, the officer-of- the-deck and then all ships and bells and officers In final paroXysm of anxiety he sent someone to investigate his receiving box in the double bot toms.
 Which disclosed single happy whistling busy bueiacret chipping paint And every time the sailor struck the bulkhead his signal carried direct to the perpleXed bridge gang.

HOUSE OF SECRETS.

q must show you the cellar before Thoughtfulness to the boy and girl who had come on adventures aud who had now reached their journeys end at the House of Secrets.
 "The cellar is dark and damp" Mas ter Thoughtfulness continued, and we don't want to stay there long. We want to see the best last"
 They went down some dark stairs, and there they heard murmurings and nun lies and curious sounds, fighting to get up, it seemed.
 Here" said Master Thoughtfulness, dwell the Things That Aren't True. They're kept down by the Things That Are True Here dwell the evil thoughts and desires and wishes that are in peoples hearts. They're kept down by the Things That Are True above.
 At times they get uppermost but not often, for even If the evil thoughts do come up for time they are quickly put down Evil thoughts and mean desires are always in the cellar ,n the House Of Secrets"
 It was so dark they could hardly see, only they heard the mutterings, and from time to time they would hear a muffied voice saying:
 'Oh, hope she doesn't get the prize maybe if I cheat no one will see me-"
 And there'd be violent quarrel and the muffied voice would slink away.
 "Oh, it's good to get upstairs again. said the girl after they had left the cellar
 From room to room they went. Yes, thev surely found out why they had had the bumps, for without them they would never nave reached the House of Secrets but would still be going backwards.
 Now they could learn 50 many, many secrets.
 The great center rooms were filled with dancers and with music
 There Brownie Joy and his dancers were, there was Brother Joker and Mrs. Get-the-Most Out-of-Life was often to be found wandering through these rooms.
 "You sec she told the boy and girl, you had lots of signposts along the way in the people you met, as you can see now
 And also many of those bad crea lures like Doubt and Intolerance and the little Gnome who couldn't grow were sign-posts of what to turn your backs upon! !"
 Master Thoughtfulness introduced them to many new friends in the diff ferent rooms How cozy and bright

THE NATURAL BRIDGES OF
 UTAH
By T. I. MAXEY

r ORTY-FlVE miles north of Bluff, \ fin Southwestern Utah. within a space of about five miles, are three natural bridges which are understood to be the largest of tkeir kind in existence.
 Named Sipapu (Gate of Heaven), |, kachima Guardian Spirit and Owa- chomo Rock Mound), these bridges were discovered in 1895. The three constitute a National monument, being so proclaimed by Presidential an nouncement in 1908.
 The largest of the three has an ex- treme height of 222 feet and is 65 feet thick at the top of the arch, which is 2S feet wide It has a span of 261 feet, the height of the span being 157 feet.
 One has but to fix those figures in his mind to gain a fair idea of the immensity of these wonders which Nature fashioned from the lofty walls of White canyon.
 Near the monument are some caves and ruins which are believed to have been the homes of prhistoric race which inhabited this section.
 These bridges are best reached by stage or team from the railroad sta ton at Thompson Utah, to Monticello, thence by pack-horse-a journey through strange, deserted-looking. but interesting land.

tnd cheery the rooms were. Anyone at once could feel at home iE them.
 They weren't big and stiff and cold and formal, but they were just like rooms to be found In the home of a very nice person-where one could set tie down and have such q good quiet read or chat, or where one could find gayety, too, and laughter, and music and dancing.
 It seemed as If there were every thing in the House of Secrets, and the house wasn't so terrificaliy large 1t was big and 1t had enough stair ways and rooms SO one could play hide-and go seek when one was through exploring and meeting friends-but 1t wasn't like castle where one would have to be thinking of how dignified one must be all the time.
 And the great secret of all they learned was the secret of real broth erhood. Every secret was almost like a part of the big secret, or like a by path which leads to the main road
 How happy every one was in the House of Secrets. How happy every one was not always Quarreling to be the chief and most important one.
 And the boy and the girl learned that real leadership was caring for people and not trying to boss them.
 "Our adventures have been wonder full" said the boy
 "I will never forget this trip as long as live" the girl replied.
 "Never, never indeed" the boy an swered, and Master Thoughtfulness smiled with pleasure and happiness.

By I. T. MAxEY
@, Western Newspaper Union.

THOSE who have visited foreign x lands say that no other similar structure compares fayorably, in either size. beauty or location, with the great, simple and admirably situated monu- ment erected by the people of Amer ica fin the capital of the nation, as a fitting tribute to the memory of the kindness and the greatness of our Lincoln.
 Near the White House and the Washington Monument, and between the Capitol building and the National cemetery, this memorial is destined to become one of the most-visited of all the public buildings of the world.
 The building is POP feet long, 132 feet wide and surrounded by a row of marble columns, several feet in d. ameter at the base and IA feet high.
 In the center of the interior Is a colossal statue of Lincoln, in a seated position. Including the base, 1t is 30 feet high. It weighs 175 tons. It took twenty marble cutters eighteen months to carve this statue.
 In each of the side walls are set monumental bronze tablets-one of Lincolns famous Gettysburg address, the other of his masterful second in- augural address, while between these and the statue is row of 36 columns, representing the states which existed when Lincoln died; on the walls above are 4S memorial wreaths. supported by eagles. representative of the states of today. At either end is massive painting-12 feet high and 60 feet long.

Hanecks To
Be Received
On Monday

While strawberry men have
been considerably Inconvenience
by a shortage of hallecks and crat-
es, and many of the outlying
towns have been without straw
berries because of a lack of con-
tainers, announcement was made
this morning by Oliver Meyers OF
the Charles X. Spaulding Lumber
company that a shipment is ex-
pected to arrive on Monday from
Raymond, Washington, containing
100000 hallecks.
The company has been getting
hallecks and crates from the Multi
nomah box factory in Portland,
but due to high water the Port
land concern has been unable to
operate to it's capacity, and as a
result the supply here has been
short.
From 10 to IA thousand hal
lecks have been received a day
here by the mill, and distributed
among the. growers as equally as
possible at the rate of six dollars
per thousand, while crates have
been priced at 10 cents apiece
nailed or 8 cents knocked down.

Case Against
.S.P. Dismissed
With Prejudice

Due to their failure to bring evil
dence to support the claim of neg
ligence on the part of the South
ern Pacific railroad, in the case
brought by James McGilchrist,
farmer, for the collection of $500
damages, sustained when his auto
mobile collided with freight
train on the corner of Trade and
Commercial street last September,
dismissal with prejudice to the
railroad company and without
costs, was asked by the attorneys
for the plaintiff and granted by
the court.
The suit came up for hearing
before Judge Bingham this morn
ing with James McGilchrist on the
stand, who testified that at the
time of the accident the crossing
was well lighted, and that he
stopped just before reaching the
track on hearing a noise some
thing like whistle, afterwards
proceeding when he was struck by
the train. In his testimony Nc
Gilshrist stated that he thought
that the whistle he heard was soI&e
one who wished a ride in his car.
The dismissal with prejudice
means that the case cannot be
brought up for trial again
