The Tiny Atom.
THE actual smallness of the ato,

THE actual smallness of the atom is
almost impossible to realize.
There are two hydrogen atoms to one
oxygen atom in one molecule of water
and there are so many. atoms of hy
drogen in one small drop that If the
atom were as big as drop they
could cover the whole world with a
foot of water; or If they fell as in
the heaviest rainfall 1t would rain all
over the United States for nearly two

Ing the work not of one man but of
many. Each workman has his spe-
clalty and when he does his share of
work he passes the piece over to an
other, who does that part which he Is
especially trained for. The man who
does the Chinese characters does
nothing else. Another does mountain
scenery and II there are any animals
introduced into the landscape they are
cut by another, while portraits are
taken care Of by workman who does
no other kind of work. Before the
work Is laid out, the surface Of the
bamboo is treated by rubbing process
which proceeds with the aid Of u
brick Of fine clay and the operation
takes place under water. After 1t Is
carefully dried It Is turned over to the
artist who marks out the design from
one workman to another as Indicated

Trapper Made Sudden
Change in Fight VieuU

Tradition has 1t that most of the
early trappers operating through the
Rocky mountains were serious char
acters. Such Is far from the case,
though. Many Of them took great
pride in exaggeratlng accounts of
what they had encountered on their
trips. A few even had slant on life
vious, says a contributor to the From
tier.
Joseph L. Meek was one of the best
known of these frontier humorlsts.
One of his experiences which is gen
orally credited concerns an attack
made on his party by band of hos
tile Indians. While stopping for
rest the Indians were sighted as they
were in the act of charging the trap
pers. The redskins were but few
hundred yards away and mounted. The
whites lost no time In mounting their
animals and beating hasty retreat.
Meek, however, encountered some
trouble with his mule which refused
to bulge.
Boys, stand your ground, boysl"
he screamed. "Stand your ground
We can whip 'em. Stand your groundW
But the trappers failed to heed
Meek and put all the territory pos
sible between themselves and the on
rushing Indians. About that time
Meek's mule, seeming to realize Its
own danger, set Its pedal extremities
In motion. Within short time Meek,
astride the mule, had caught up with
the rest of the party. Another min
ute he passed them. Then he turned
In his saddle and shouted back over
his shoulder, Come on, boysl We
can't fight 'em. Come on, boysI Come

men above hauled him up by 1t as
quickly as they could.
Vaughton motloned to the man. who
had been gazing anxiously at him, and
noddlng to assure him Of his assist
ance, gave the signal to be hauled up.
AS soon as he was above the surface
and had been stripped of his helmet,
he told the men, as briefly and as
quickly as he could. the strange sight
that he had seen. A long rope was
secured and Vaughton wrote out his
plan on piece of cardboard so that
the man might understand exactly
what was to be done.
Then he Owed down second time,
taking with him the extra rope. He
found the man occupying the position
he had left him in, only staring up
wards, watching for the help that he
knew was to come from above. Waugh
ton held the sheet of cardboard close
up to the portfolio, and, as the man
within read, his face llghtened up in
comprehension. Then, upon signal
from Vaughton, the prisoner threw
open the door of the compartment,
and, quick as a thought, was bound
around the waist with the rope The
sign was given to the waiting men
above and he was hauled up as fast
as human sinews could do 1t.
The stranger reached the surface In
an unconscious state, but was soon
revived, and, after having eaten all
the sandwiches that were to be pro-
cured, he showed great willingness to
tell his remarkable story.

Precipice a Slaughter House.

When what is now North Dakota
and Montana were inhabited solely
by Indians the natives utilized a high
precipice at the foot of an incline
between two in-sloping hills for their
slaughter house. The buffalo were
rounded up and started on stampede
down the incline, only TO tumble
headlong over the precipice. The fall
killed hundreds of buffalo every time.
The Indians then cured and dried
their Winters supply of meat. When
the railroad was put through and the
town of Granville, y. Oak, started,
it was necessary to haul thousands of
carloads of buffalo bones away from
this spot.
