The impossible happens. That very

down a long once-smiling valley made
imperative summons. Mr.. Love plead

enough, her best comrade and help was

here was all the explanation he
gave. No brother could have been

Aunt Lucy had escaped unframed,

been caught in the food. and saved
alive by the skin Of their teeth. They

sTRANGEsT OF ALPINE LAKES
Triangular Sheet Of Water Whose
Base Is Barred by Enormous
Wall Of Ice.

One of the most remarkable sights in
Switzerland Is the Marjelen-See on Al
pine lake, lying between the Great
Aletsch and Fletcher glaciers. Stu
ated ZOO feet above the sea-level, at
the western flank OF the Great Aletsch
glacier, by which 1t is fed. Il is TRAN
gular, says an exchange. The base of
the triangle is barred by an ice wall
500 yards In length and 16O odd feet in
depth, formed by the Aletsch glacier
The natural outlet is rs the west
through the Aletsch glacier, but when
the water exceeds a certain level 1t
has at It's cas- end. the apex Of the tri.
angle, an additional outflow to the
Fiescher glacier over a low divide,
which at a normal level separates It
from the drainage OF the Inter glacier.
The lake thus possesses the peculiar
feature Of having Two outlets in OppO-
site directions; but to prevent the over
flow unduly encroR ching upon the ad.
Iacent pastures In the latter direction
a tunnel 700 yards long and v square
meters In section, is provided, by
which the surplus water Is discharged
on the Fiescher glacier.
The most striking popularity Of the
Marjelen-See is that 1t einpties itself
at irregular Intervals and within the
space Of a few hours through the wall
formed by the Great Aletseh glacier.
The Marjelen-Sae Is said to have
emptied Itself formerly every seven
years. recently every three years, but
total e~mptylngs are less frequent thar
partial, The rehlllng Of the lake grad
ually accomplishes Itself during tn,
winter and spring. The bulk OF The

 MT. Pittman gave warning to all sparkers' Tuesday morning He said that he had noticed more of this, this year and in this school than ever be- fore. He does not want the boys and girls to walk to and from school to- gether or to have beaux on school nights. Those doing so will be pun ished
 MT. Wilkerson's opinion of the High School is not very complimentary, to say the least. He says he don't be- lieve we have any honor.
 John Mccormick and Enrico Caru so alias Junior Mills and Willard day. We did not know that We had such splendid musical talent in school and we trust that Mr Mills and MT. Wood will sing for us again soon.
 The football letter men were given their letters Wednesday. They are: Charley Cobb, Jennings Russell, Jack Mobley, Willard Wood, Junior Mills, Willie Tiffin, Joe Burlingame, Ernest Thill and Willie Doss Phillips. To receive a letter in football one must make an average of eighty in scholar ship, eighty-fve in department and play in two thirds of the games. Let ters will also be given for track and baseball.

GROWING BETTER MEN

The most startling thing in wonder ful twentieth century development is the proposition which has recently been put forth that soil fertilization feeding the soil out of which men get everything upon which human beings must get the materials to live-can cause to be produced, stronger, brain- fer and more virile men and women.
 Oddly the question was first sprung in sporting and athletic circles by the discovery that practically all the athletes in every class come out of the west or midwest states. It was first sprung by Professor Eugene L. Crilly of Yale
 In a humorous vein, writers in dis cussing the new proposition, suggest that if the new cult is true, the states which are jealous over the record of Ohio and Indiana as producers of persidents. ought like the Romantic ask, What meat is this that hath our
  And even at that there may be some- thing in soil and climate and nature environment which breeds men of Higher and broader mentality.
 Men are just learning that, if the fertile plains of America are to con- dinue to feed the nation and the world, those acres must be fed. But men do not ask themselves why one section of the country breeds men and women who are almost racially distinct from those who spring from other sections.
 Frederick Starr, than whom this country never produced a greater stu dent of races and racial antecedents and environment says that nature breeds men to be just what men get out of the ground and naturlal envi- rOnment. He points to the Green Mountain Yankee who more closely resembles physically the Iriquois Indi- an than their own ancestors; the southern mountain men he also con- pares with the racial sources from which they sprang and the Indian who a century ago inhabited those mountains. He also directs attention 10 types of men who have attained a fixed type in certain environment and upon removal to radically differ ent natural environment have bred an entirely different type of men.
 And the new theory is that men themselves must create the natural earth ingredients and environment with a view to breeding types of men in desirable physique, mental char acteristics and racial qualities-Ft. Smith Times Record.
