AMERICANS VISIT
PICKWICK SHRINES
Tourists Surprised to Find Extent
of Dickens Lore
at Bath.

LONDON, September 26.--As last
of England's celebrations Of the CEN
tenary of Dickens "Pickwick Papers" {"
opera, "Pickwick," by Albert Coates,
during a special season from Novem-
Der 16 to December S.
Shrines of Mr.. Pickwick and Of
Dickens have proved great attractions
to English and American travellers
this year. Special tours Of Dickens
London are still being arranged.
Bath, too, is still receiving Dickens
enthusiasts, for 1t was the home OF
the real Mr. Pickwick and one of the
places visited by the famous club.
Just where the original Mr.. Pick
wick got his name is still a matter
Of debate. One story has 1t that he
was the great-grandson Of a found
ling. A woman, this version goes
discovered a bundle containing the
first Pickwick on the side Of a road
in Wick. She took him home and
wick. or the baby picked up at Wick
Another version OF the story has II
that the infant was found in the
village of Pickwick not far from Bath
and received his name because of that
circumstance.
Americans visiting Bath are al
ways surprised to find that a number
of the Pickwick family still live in
this famous health resort.
Many shrines Of Dickens and the
Pickwickians are pointed out to trav-
elers in Bath. The Pickwick Club
first stayed at the White Hart Hotel,
which was torn down in 1867 to make
place for the present Grand Pump
Room Hotel. It's sign, however, was
preserved and taken to a suburb, Wild
combe. where it can still be seen at
a small inn.
Dickens, too, used to come to Bath
| and Il was there that the character
of Little Nell in THE Old Curiosity
Shop" first occurred to him. A tablet
at 35 st. James square now records
this fact.

CHEYENNE, September 26-Dev-
lis Tower. wyoming, the Oldest ma
tional monument under the National
Park Service, celebrated its 30th an
niversary this week. 1t was proclaimed
a national monument by President
Theodore Roosevelt on September "a,
1906. but its creation goes back some
100000 years.
Long before the coming Of the white
man the giant column, rising 865 feet
above the brilliantly hued rocks Of
the foothills, was landmark to the
Indians. "Mateo Tepee"-bear lodge
was their name for it. Nowhere
else on the North American continent
Is there a similar geologic formation
of such colossal size. Molten rock,
yelling up through a point Of weak
ness in the earth's everything crust,
formed a volcanic plug or neck. With
its rough surface, Striated vertically,
with a bulging base, the formation
bears a striking resemblance to a
mammoth tree stump turned to stone.
These fluted characteristics are due
to the formation of large prisms as
the liquid lava cooled.
At its base Devils Tower is approx
mately 1000 feet in diameter. The
top comprises some Ia acres, capped
with sagebrush, grass, MOSES and
ferns. Chipmunks also have been OBJ
served on the top.
Possibly score Of persons have
succeeded in climbing Devils Tower,
always with artificial aids. First to
make the ascent was a local rancher,
Will Rogers by name. He climbed
it in 1893, by means of ladder and
wooden pegs driven into clefts in the
rock. Today, because of the hazards
involved even with such assistance, as
we'll as the resultant soaring Of the
monument, the National Parks Serv-
ice has forbidden any further at
tempts to scale the tower.
To the unique geological interest Of
the Devils Tower and the unusual
archaeological features of the re-
mainder of the monument, the Parks
Service has added facilities for educa-
ton and recreation. The newly con-
structed museum contains many in
teresting relics of prehistoric times
and frontier days. Less than five
miles to the northwest are the Mis-
souri, buttes. composed of rock similar
in composition to that of the Devils
Tower and consequently thought to be
a part of the same lava flow. The

YOKOHAMA. September 26-The
mountains of Kongo are outstanding
in the world of travel. The fantastic

rival them for singular grandeur and
fewer still contain. within such a COM

Like petals folded around a pistil,
the peaks of Kongo spread out in sew

birds, animals, human beings, even
monsters. 1t seems as If Nature has
been playing with forms and has been
