VIM. E. HaWley Writes
Of Trip Thru the West

William E. Hawley, coach at the
local High School the past two years
is on motor trip in the West. In a
letter to the Baldwin Bulletin, his
fathers paper, he gives the follow
ing interesting account of portion
of his trip, including his visit to
Shelby, Mont, where ,-e attended the
Dempsey Gibbons fight:
We left Miles City Thursday morn
ing, June % and drove as far as Bill
ings $50 miles. One hundred miles
of the way was mud. We spent
most of the day pushing someone out
of the mud and then they would help
us out in turn. We arrived at Bill
ings Thursday evening expecting to
leave for Yellowstone Park the next
day but the weather mn said stop"
It rained for two days so our plans
were slightly upset. We enjoyed
ourselves however, as Billings is a
very fine city of about 10000, dis
tributing center for that part of
Montana.
Sunday, June "a. we travelled as
far as Cody, Wyo., which is Buffalo
Bills home town, and is a real west
ern town. Sunday ev ening a special
train carrying group If U. S. Sena-
tors passed through Cody and the
citizens planned regular wild west
show for them. They had bucking
horses, rope throwing, races, etc., all
of which was very interesting to an
"Eastcrman" as they called us.
Cody is located in between two large
mountains in a fertil valley, very
picturesque place. 1t is also a
terminal center for the large bus
lines which take tourists through the
park.
Monday morning we entered Vel
Iowstone Park and feel very incap-
able of describing the wonders OF it..
A person could read of the wonders
but never can you realize the bigness
of it until you have been there.
Cody, as / have mentioned is so miles
from the Park and it is as beautiful a
drive as any found in tie Park. The
entire drive is along the Shoshone
P:yer between two high mountains.
The road is on the edge Of che cliff
and only wide enough for one car.
If a person would ever go over the
bank he would drop from 200 to 1000
#. down into the canyon. On this
drive we also saw the Shoshone
Government high dam which IS 3Oo
feet high, the second highest III the
world. Also on the trip we crossed
the highest mountain pass in the
Park which is 5000 feet high. The
hill is seven miles long and we had tc
travel the entire distance ON low.
The roads are very good and there
are mountain streams every mile or
so. so we had no trouble with our car
overheating. The first evening we
camped at a place called Fishing
Bridge which is properly named, for
anytime in the day there are people
fishing there. We fshed there the
first evening and had little trouble
catching all the fish we wanted.
Most of the trout are Salmon trout
and put up very little fight compared
with those of Wisconsin.

ASTONISHING AGE FOR HORSE
Animal Owned In the United States
Declared to Have Lived for
Fifty-one Years.

A horse owned by United States
clergyman named Meyers Is probably
the oldest OF Its kind, having reached
the astonishing age Of tifty-one years.
Glover, as this remarkable beast Is
called, has astonished the experts by
his feat In living for more than half
a century. 1t Is undoubtedly worlds
record. The house surgeon at the
Royal Veterinary college In London
admitted that he had never heard OF
q case to equal It, The Oldest horse
ever knew" he said, was pony In
the Midlands which lived to be thirty
nine and which was at work until IL
months before its death. Race horses
are usually past their prime after SIX
years, and hunters and working horses
after twelve years Of useful life" A
surprising sight was black western
pony, over thirty years Of age, which,
though still hale and hearty, had be-
gun to turn gray, and presented the
appearance Of having passed through
| snow storm. Another expert said
that he believed it WAS quite possible
! for horses to live for half century
or more, but added that In his expert
ence the oldest creature was thirty
eight years of age. How long 1t LIVED
after that he was unable to say.

BASED ON FALSE IMPRESSION


A false impression, due to lack Of
knowledge OF the German language,
led DR.. Graham Bell to attempt his
successful invention Of the telephone.
Bells father had been professor OF
elocutioa. and his grandfather, too, SO
an interest In the mechanism Of speech
was a sort Of family affair, and as
q boy he tried to learn everything
which bore upon what he thought
would be his professional work
through life-the correction Of errors
Of speech. When he was seventeen he
made the discovery. which he thought
was original, that the resonance OF
the mouth cavity varied In making
different vowel sounds. He afterward
discovered that this had been discov-
cred long before by Helmholtz, who
had obtained vowel sounds by tuning
forks to different pitches. Bell could
not read German, and knew nothing
about electricity, so got the false idea
that Helmsholtz had been able to
transmit vowel sounds by electricity
Believing that. he saw no reason why
speech should not also be transmitted
and having that false idea, he set te
work to see whether he could not DC
SO. in considering an invention,
says Doctor Bell, "the attitude Of .
man toward his subject is important
That false Idea undoubtedly helped M
to produce the result at which
aimed"

Ever Coast on sandf

Most youngsters think Of sleds as
delightful playthings, but, alas !
they're for use only during snow time
However, group Of young citizens
who live near the Hunts Point sta
ton Of the N. Y, w. and b. railroad
have found hill Of dusty sand
which is slippery enough to allow Of
the use of sleds at all times.
Any Saturday, or, Indeed, any day
after school hours they may be seen
there In great numbers coasting down
the hiif, which Is about 200 or 300 feet
high and not far from the railroad
tracks. Apparently they get all the
thrill and fun out of 1t that comes
with snow sledding.-New York Sun.

HOT ON MOON AT NOON
Temperature Drops Below Zero
at Night, Says Professor.
Heat Measurement involves Use Of
Delicate instrument Which VIII
Detect Heat Of Candle
Miies Away.

Cambridge, Mass.-The tempera-
ture on the moon probably ranges
from well above the boiling point al
moon" to far below zero during the
night, scientific observations indicate.
Prof. Donald Fl. Mcneil of Princeton
said in paper submitted to the
American Astronomical society.
The paper outlined new methods Of
calculating the temperatures of the
planets. emphasizing that the tenta-
tive results reached by these methods
were not final.
whatever the amount Of water
vapor present In our atmosphere" he
said, "the indications are that the
surface Of the moon is definitely
heated.
1.-THE values for Venus and Mars
are very dependent upon the water
vapor and very little can be got from
the observations Both planets have
an atmosphere, Mars being very thin,
and that Of Venus more like ours.
The results Indicate the temperature

centigrade, with large fall during
the night. Venus temperature Is
higher than our earth's.
For the two larger planets, Jupiter
and Saturn, they radiate some heat OF
their own. If they were warmed only
by the heat of the sun they would
be 100 to 100 degrees below zero
centigrade.
"The temperatures obtained fol
these planets are probably fairly &C
curate and we have for Jupiter OBJ
tanned something less than 80 below
zero centigrade, while Saturn is hot
ter by some 20 degrees"
The heat measurements as made a
the Lowell observatory In Arizona
Involve the use of delicate instru
ment known as the thermocouple
which Is capable Of detecting the hea
from tallow candle at distance O
many miles.

The deal, TO all appearances. only
is claimed there was no difference
over the proposed purchase price of
$3.50, 900, but what Col. Huston de-
sCIibed as hitch" developed and
negotiations ended. There are re-
ports that Col. Huston may make the
deal complete reversal and buy out
his partner. but they lack confirma
tion.
While he still declares that anyone
of integrity with the ready money
can still buy him out. Col. Huston
also declares that he will remain in
definitely in base ball-one, two, three
years"
There were numerous reports giving
the exact hitch none OF them con-
flrmed. but which include Col. Hus-
tons objection TO a supposed clause
in the sales contract by which he
agreed to remain out of base ball in
New York City for ten years and
another that there was a difference
over liabilities, including the new
Yankee stadium under construction.

that Col. Huston had sold out, was

shoot a goal before any other player
touches the ball?
