six million dollars in property and
337 lives and over 90 per cent was
caused by pure carelessness and
could have been prevented had our
citizens used ordinary care. The

The power is put into the spring

~ AKWIN ana Huxley aCCuS-
- toned reluctant world to the
general proposition that man,
instead of being separate creation,
was a descendant and collateral of
the animals. Part of their argument
was based on a comparison between
the structure and embryology of man
and those of the higher apes, the
gorilla, the orang, and the chimpan-
zee. The subject was so novel that
people~were surprised to be told that
the great apes, like man, had lost
their tails. Neither of the authors
maintained that man had arisen from
any of the existing apes.
To the popular mind, however, it
seemed an inevitable inference that
man must have come from the highest
of the apes, if he came from any kind
of an ape. The schematic dogmatism
of Haeckcl confirmed the popular
judgment. He invented theoretical
creatures to take the place of the links
supposed to be missing. The tendency
of modern physiological research has,
on the whole, supported the supposi-
ton of closer affinity between man
and the great apes than between him
and any other animals. This has
seemed particularly clear in investiga-
tions of the properties of the blood
and in the fact that it has been posi-
bic to communicate some characteristic
cally human diseases to great apes and
and without success to no other
animals.
Anatomical and archaeological
work has tended to oppose the earlier
view. Comparative anatomists have
failed to recognize the existence of a
linear chain stretching from the le-
murs, through South American mon
keys and the great apes, to man. 1t
is now doubted if the lemurs have
any place in human ancestry. The
great apes, in many respects, are more
closely allied to the South American
monkeys than to any of the old-world
forms.
Many features in human anatomy
and embryology suggest that man is
an extremely primitive creature and
arose as a separate branch of the
mammals, close to the monkey stem,
but distinct from it. There have been
many startling discoveries of human
remains, such, for example, as the
Piltdown skull from Sussex, so. diff
ferent from the modern type that
American palaeontologists have de-
clared the jaw to be that of CHM
panzee, although the assumption in
wolves the almost miraculous coinci-
dence of single fragment of a CHM
panzee and of human being occur
ring together in a locality and geo
logical horizon where neither had
ever been found before.
Two facts, however, are certain:
Man is more ancient than has hither-
to been supposed, and the early re-
mains show that in very remote geo.
logical epoch there were human
types so distinct that they must be
regarded as belonging to different
genera.

He national parks OF the United
States, meccas for thousands of
tourists this summer, contain
more features of conspicuous gran
deur than are accessible in all the
other continents.
Leaving the masterful Mississippi
valley and journeying westward, we
soon enter the region of the national
parks, of which there are nine of the
first order: the Yellowstone national
park, principally in Wyoming, the
Glacier national park in Montana,
the Rocky Mountain and Mesa Verde
national parks in Colorado, the Cra-
ter Lake national park in Oregon,
the Mount Rainer national park in
Washington, the Yosemite and
Sequoia national parks in California
and the Grand Canyon park in Ari-
zona, the scenic masterpiece of the
world, officially dedicated in 1920.
Each park has its own individuality,
and each in its speciality excels.
Foremost in interest in the Yellow
stone are the geysers, of which "Old
Faithful, ranks first, not because of
size, for the Giant is Goliath beside
it, not because of beauty, for there are
others more beautiful but because of
fidelity. 1t never disappoints. 1t is
so regular that it could almost serve
as the nations standard timepiece.
Every 70 minutes "Old Faithful"
shoots its great column of water hea-
venward. At each eruption it sends
up into the air 100000 gallons of
water.
One writer has described the geyser
basins cas- laboratories and kitchens,
in which, amid a thousand retorts
and pots, we may see Nature at work
as chemist or cook, cunningly COM
pounding an infinite variety of min
eral messes; cooking mountains, boil
ing and steaming finty rocks to
smooth paste and mush-yellow,
brown, red, pink, lavender, gray and
creamy white making the most beau
tiful mud in the world, and distilling
the most ethereal essences"
The situation of Glacier national
park is unique, in that it mothers
streams which flow into three out of
five of the earth's great oceans. 1t
may we'll claim to be the top of the
continent, for its rivers drain into
Hudson bay and the Arctic ocean, in
to the Pacific, and through the Mis-
souri, and the Mississippi into the At
lantic.
The Glacier national park was
made by the earth cracking in some
far-distant time and one side thrust
ing up and overlapping the other. 1t
has cliffs several thousand feet high,
and more than sixty glaciers feed hun
dreds of lakes. One lake floats ice
bergs all summer. The scenery is
truly Alpine.
Lake St. Mary's, Lake McDermott
and Lake Mcdonald are the peers of
any of the mountain lakes of Switzer-
land and Italy. This park covers an
area of 1884 square miles, and main
tains such an excellent chain of chal-
cts, hotels and trails that the tourist
The mirror., 1921-08-18

can see its many attractions in COM
fort.
The Rocky Mountain national
park straddles the continental divide
at lofty height, with snow-capped
mountains extending from end to end
This park is in the heart of the
Rockies northwest of Denver, with
Longs peak as its center 1t was
established by congressional enact
ment in 1915. Estes park, the gate
way to this mountain playground, is
a beautiful little valley town nestled
at the foot of the ridge, and yet itself
more than a mile and half above sea-
level. Longs peak is nearly three
miles high, and has several neighbors
that run it close second.
The Mesa Verde national park
hides in its barren canyons the we'll
preserved ruins of civilization which
passed out of existence so many CEN
turies ago that not even tradition re-
calls its people.
Here one may study the modes of
life of the prehistoric American as
they can be studied in few places.
These aborigines had their civic cen
ter and they had some progressive
ideas in city planning. Community
life was the order of those times. One
house had 200 rooms for family use
and p for worship. Another one
sheltered $50 aborigines.
.'' Mount Rainer seems to keep per-
petual guard over Seattle, Tacoma
and Olympia. Anyone who has be-
held its many moods, who has
watched the ever-changing picture as
varying lights have played upon its
summit, who has coasted on its glacial
rivers, can understand why the In
dians called it "Tahoma-the noun
tain that was god."
Mt. Rainer has glacier system ex-
ceeding in size that of any other sim
gle mountain within continental
United States. From its summit and
cirques % named and a number of
unnamed rivers of ice pour slowly
down its sides. These rivers of ice
have carved on what was once per-
feet cone II valleys through the solid
rock. A bird's-eye view taken from
above the mountain would show it to
be covered by an enormous frozen
octopus, stretching icy tentacles down
among the rich gardens of wild flow
ers and through forests of fir and
cedar.
Switzerland, the playground of Eu-
rope, visited annually (until 1879
by more than 100000 Americans,
cannot compare in attractiveness with
the High Sierra of central California.
Nothing in the Alps can rival the fa-
nous Yosemite valley, which is as
unique as the Grand canyon. The
view from the summit of Mt. Whit
ney surpasses that from any of the
peaks of Switzerland.
And then, as to birds and flowers,
the High Sierras so excel the Alps
that there is no comparison. Never
will the writer forget the melodies of
the birds and the luxuriance of the
meadows passed in the marches FROM
Redwood Meadow to Mineral King,
and then up over Franklin Pass; the
fields of blue, red, yellow, orange,
white and purple flowers, all grace

nifty of the great Siberian plateau,
nearly 1900 feet above the sea, and
yet carpeted from end to end with
blue lupine and tiny flowers.
From the educational point OF
view, the High Sierras SO surpass the
Alps that again no comparison can be
made. In one days ascent we OBJ
served fauna and flora to see. the
equivalent of which on the Atlantic
coast we would have to make jour
ney of perhaps 1900 miles. When
we started in the morning we were
hearing birds that correspond to the
latitude of Charleston, S. c.; in
few hours we had travelled northward
to New foundland and Labrador, and
then descended to camp amid fea-
thered friends whose counterparts are
found near Washington, D. c. A
day later we assembled Mt. Whitney,
the highest peak in the United States,
and had a glimpse of birds of the
arctic zone.
Within the boundaries of the Yose-
mite and Sequoia national parks
tower the oldest of living things-the
Sequoia gigantea.
1t is an unusual experience to stand
under these big trees, to gaze upon
their stately proportions, to reflect
upon the storms and stress they have
survived, and to visualize the strange
changes in human history that have
taken place since they were seedlings.
Long before Moses had led the Chill
dren of Israel out of Egypt, long be-
fore his brethren had carried back to
their father .Joseph's blood-stained
coat of many colors, long even before
the birth of the patriarch, whose chill
dren, and whose. children's children
to remotest generations the Most
High promised to bless, even before
the aged pyramids had reared their
heads on the banks of the Nile, long
centuries before the hanging gardens
of Babylon had been constructed,
these trees had begun to grow.
Thousands of years the General
Sherman tree has stood, offering its
head to every passing thunder cloud;
but so strong and sturdy is it that,
like Ajax, it can defy the lightnings.
The wonders of the Yosemite ma
tional park are easily accessible via
the Yosemite valley, where accommo-
dations are provided for every degree
of income. Desmond camps and ex-
cellent government trails enable the
visitor to see the giant trees, water
wheels, and canyons, while the more
adventurous, who desire to ascend
Mount Lyell and its magnificent
neighbors, will find entertainment in
Tuolumne meadows, at the hospitable
headquarters of the Sierra club, an
organization of mountaineers who
have revealed the Sierra to the world.
