LAW NOT STEvENsON's FORTE
Popular Writer Was an Advocate by
Profession, but Early Abandoned
the Occupation.

Robert Louis Stevenson, the famous
Scottish novelist and essayist, was an
advocate by rofession-member of the
Scottish bar-but he never practiced
He hated the law-Or at least the
practice of it-and abandoned it for
literature as quickly as he could. At
the bar in Edinburgh, Lord Shaw of
Dunfermline (then Mr.. Thomas Shaw,
advocate) had an interesting view Of
Stevenson as an advocate. He writes {:
Il remember seeing him, with his
very white wig and his glossy dark
hair, his complexion of an ivory pallor,
and his cleaning dark eyes. A few
days after Stevenson went to the bar
he had got guinea, sent to him with
Instructions 9 His sole duty was to
ask the Judge for intimation and serv-
Ice of q petition of the party against
whom 1t was directed. All he had to
do was to stand up at the bar and
utter three words interrogatively In
timation and serviceT But he was a
mass of nerves, and these three words
he could not utter, and he besought
his friend to go into court and make
the little motion for him. l never
heard of his earning another guinea

Mirage In History.

A mirage is an optical illusion, by
which images of distant objects are
seen often as if inverted, below the
ground or raised in the atmosphere. 1t
Is frequently observed on the western
plains of Canada and the United
States. 'The phenomenon is best OBJ
served in the Egyptian or other des-
erts. and the inverted images SO much
resemble these made in water as to
create the illusion that lake is really
near. The mirage was known in an
Client Jewish times It is mentioned
In Isaiah 1857: And the parched
ground shall become a pool and the
thirsty land springs Of water" The
Fata Morgana. what sailors call the
"loomings." the Fl, 'rg Dutchman, the
Enchanted Island, Cape Flyaway. etc.,
are all produced by the mirage.

LINK WITH HISTORIC PAST
"spear Thrower," Relic OF Eary
America, Indicates Common Gull
ture In the Country.

A "spear thrower" or Throwing
stick" found among the implements
of the prehistoric people of America
in caves in the Ozark mountains In
Missouri and Arkansas. may be an
important aid in lifting the mystery
which enshrouds the ancient cultures
of the American continents. The
throwing stick is the only article SO
far unearthed which furnishes any
connection between these people and
others which have existed on this con-
tinent. The weapon Is extremely
simple, consisting of round or fiat
stick one to two inches In diameter
and about 1S inches long, notched at
one end and perforated at the other,
with sometimes one, sometimes two
holes. Into these holes the prehistoric
man thrust his fingers, affixed his
short-shafted stone-headed dart to the
notched end, raised the stick over his
shoulder, and by means Of a quick,
jerking movement Of the arm hurled
the dart at enemy or game.
Close adaptations Of the weapon are
found among the ruins of prehistoric
American civilization extending from
Peru far north beyond the Arctic circle.
The weapon seems to have been uni
versal to all climes Of the western
hemisphere and to all periods, even
down to the present day, when 1t Is
still in use among the Eskimos OF the
Arctic, and the Tarascan Indians In
the Patzcuaro lake region of Mexico.
1t furnishes possible missing link
between the prehistoric civilization of
the western half of the continent and
those of the extreme East.

Americas Marvels
NATURAL AND OTHERWISE
ByT. T. Maxey
THE RIVER THAT FLOWS BACK
WARD

like all normal and well-behaved
rivers, the Chicago river carried its
waters from its head toward It's
mouth, emptying into Lake Michigan.
The building of drainage canal from
its head through the ridge that divides
the drainage between Lake Michigan
and tine rivers farther west to con-
nection with the river system, reversed
this natural and orderly procedure,
with the expected, although astonish-
ing result, that the waters Of this river
now flow from the lake into its mouth
and out through its head into the
drainage canal.
Flowing from Lake Michigan the
Chicago river runs through the city Of
Chicago, separating as it goes into
North and South branches. These
branches, in turn, divide the city Into
three sections or divisions-North.
West and South.
The main channel of this river 10
about seven miles long. with an aver
age width Of 200 feet and an average
depth Of 20 feet. This channel has
been dredged repeatedly until now 1t
IL sufficiently deep to accommodate the
largest freight boats operating on the
Great Lakes. This channel 10 gpanned
by about thirty bridges, which carry
foot, vehicular, street car and rail traf-
fc over 1t.
Bisecting, as this river does, the
business heart Of Americas second
largest city, naturally its banks are
crowded with warehouses, factories.
coal and lumber yards and grain ele-
yators Of the largest size. The switch
ing tracks Of many of the largest
transcontinental railroads reach the
land side Of these industries, SO that
the rapid and economical Interchange
of traffic and distribution Of the prod
ucts of our farms and factories are
here carried on quickly and in a big
way.
The volume of freight tonnage han
died by this short, but constantly busy
little river bulks astonishingly large.
The records make this Immediately ap-
parent. During a recent IL months
2,54O vessels arrived in this river and
2,547 sailed out of it. Among other
things, their cargoes included 1902
tons of binder twine, 11,374.S29 BUSH
els Of wheat, 11.607,67S bushels of
oats, 3s,993,73s bushels of corn and
203,5S0 tons of miscellaneous freight.
The Chicago river is nontidal and
probably the most important stream of
its length on earth.
