GREAT SCENIC DISCOVERY.
Xaf lhwrtte:-n Montana Surpass the Tel-
lowatone Region.
"We hare dlaeoYcrfxl a second and
greater Yosemlto Tdlley and a grander
National park thou the Ycllowctone"
Mfcld Trof. L. W. Chanty of Corlcton
college Northfleld Minn. In telling
about hit recent visit to Avalancho
Win which he discovered last year In
tho northwestern corner of Montana.
A year ago l'rof Chaney and aomo
other scientists one of them a lecturer
oa the natural accntry of llio west
found In the western part of Montana
n country which had seldom been seen
by man red or white. They heard
rague rumors of a glacier valley and
cut their wbv from the then newly-
found Lake McDonald through the for-
ests tiiat crown the mountains.
They were told by the original setUer
In the vicinity of this lake that a year
before In following Up the slopes of
Brown peak north of Lake McDonald
wltli the Idea that glnolers were to be
found he had seen not-only a glacier
but also a beautiful valley and a lake
new to the world.
The scientists found the basin and
lake and by reason of the constant
roar of avalanches they named the vol-
ley Avalanche busln and spent as long
n time as their provisions would allow
In scorching the beauties or the spot.
They had no Instrument and wcro un-
able to get any measurements
They determined to return at the
earliest opportunity. This they have
now done armed with all needed Instru-
ments to mako a thorough investiga-
tion. In the meantime others hove
bten to Avalanche basin and the trail
froni Kallspel haa Iwan so chopped out
that a woman Mra. J. M. Kdwords of
that place has made the perilous trip.
Some of the dozen or more men who
have seen the basin have been world-
wide travelers and declare that there
is nothing in the Swiss mountains or in
the most famed resorts of Europe that
can compare with It. Tho valley is a
scenic gem set in a frame of cloud-
touching peaks ond is unrivaled In its
brilliancy ond natural Interest but
owing to the purity of the atmosphere
and the consequent Impossibility of
getting distance In the view It Is Impos-
sible to make a photograph that will
show adequately the leautles of the
region.
Lake McDonald is located In the
rorthwestern portion of Montana about
S5 miles from the little mountain town
of Kallspel. It is 1C miles In length
four or five miles w tdc at an altitude of
about 3000 feet and ns clear as crystal.
Its mirroring effect Is more ahnrply
defined than Is that of the famous Mir-
ror lake of California and it reflects
the forests of the surrounding moun-
tain slopes so clearly that the narrow
aharply-definrd beach of smoothly-polished
grovel is the only Indication of
vrher the reflections begin and the for-
est ends. From Lake McDonald the
trail through the mountain extends to
the northward about IS miles up the
rocky steeps and at the last cuts
through a gorge of crimson jasper
quartzlte in which are many deep cas-
cades. Suddenly and without warning one
emerges on (he shores of Avalanche
lake ond into a valley of the most sub-
lime and impressive grandeur. The
way has been hard and the climbing
difficult but the end repays it all.
The basin Is more than 800 feet high-
er than Lake McDonald and the sur-
tounding rocks lower in almost a per-
pendicular wall for from 3000 to 0000
fret higher. Illslng here and there
above the general level of the wall of
lock are various peaks. The discover-
ers have named one the Matterhorn
and Its altitude Is 4000 feet above the
level of the lake; another has been
called the Cathedral Dome from Its re-
semblance to the dome of St. Peter's
as seen from the compagnt and it rises
about 4300 feet: a third has been called
the Sphinx and a fourth tho Castle.
The last rise to a height of over 10000
ftet above the sea. Down the sides of
these walls cascades falj at heights
varying from thousands to about 400
feet breaking in foam on the lake be-
low ond filling the valley with tbo roar
of a Niagara.
The basin is nearly two miles long
and nearly tho same In width. In its
center Is Avalanche lake three-fourths
cf a mllo In length and halt a mile wide.
Its waters when seen from the shore
are of a turquoise blue but when
looked down upon they ore as clear as
crystal even more so than those of
Lake Superior and the rainbow and
mountain trout lying In their depths
can readily be seen.
The upper end of the basin is about
two miles east of the entrance and
plunging down the precipitous rocks
are some dozen mountain streams
forming a series of beautiful cascades
and cotarncts. All are fed from the
snows of tho mountains and they art
large ond small according as the sun
has had on opportunity to melt the
anowa. Avalanches have cut their way
down the slopes an-l hare left their
gashes oh the surrounding cliffs.
North from Avalanche basin to the
British line the scenery Is of the grand-
est. It rivals If It docs not surpass
that to be found in the Selklrks ond In
the Canadian Rockies. Glaciers abound
and about 30 miles north of Avalanche
is one of the greatest to be found In
America N. Y. Sun.

The patience perseverance nnd skill
common to Inventors was exhibited at
an early age by Kit Whitney whose in-
vention of the cotton-gin afterward
made him famous. Of the boy's passion
for mechanics ond his father's view of
it his sister has given the following ac-
count in l'hlllp Q. Hubert's recent book
"Inventors:" Our father bad a work-
shop and sometimes made wheels of
different kinds and chairs lie had o
variety of tools ond a lathe for turning
chair-posts. This gavo my brother the
opportunity of learning to use the tools
when very young. He lost no time but
as soon as he could handle tools he was
always making something in the shop
and seem to prefer that to work on the
farm. After the death of our mother
when our father bad been absent from
home two or three days on his return he
inquired of the housekeeeper what the
boy had been doing. She told him what
the elders bud done. "Ilut what lias 11
been doing?' said he. She replied that
he had been making a fiddle. "Ah"
aid he deipondently "I fear 11 will
have to take his portion In fiddles."

Few CourtMln When They Dli-
covered Their Mistake.
A Cleveland man tells a funny story
of a blunder he ma'do while on his wed-
ding tour. When he took the sleeper
for Albany boarding It at New York's
Urand Central depot the porter acci-
dentally puthlm in thewrongcar. Later
on he rectified the mistake by escorting
tho Cleveland couple into the right sec-
tion of the cor ahead. 'When the local
man arose to go be picked up what he
supposed was his traveling bag and
started away with It.
Ho hadn't been in the forward car
but a few momenta when he had occa-
sion to open the bag. This Is what he
found In ltl
A black bottle a brush and comb a
pack of playing cards a package of pa-
pers labeled "Bills" a halt box of
cigars a couple of collars and o night
ohlrt o memorandum book marked
"private canvass" and a check book
halt used and an envelop full of railroad
passes.
The Cleveland man closed the bag
and put It down. Then he looked for
the owner. He didn't have long to
looTc. Down the aisle accompanied by
the porter came o stocky man with n
big black mustache and a shiny silk
bat. He grabbed the bag with a smile
of relief and trotted bsck with It. The
bridegroom followed bim and secured
his own bag. As he turned to leave the
car the stocky individual shouted otter
him:
''Young man you want to take a little
better care of your ruffles next time
you go a-journeying."
Of course the people in the car all
Jaughed. This nettled the Cleveland
man a little.
"That's all right old boy" he fired
taek "the next tim you go up to Al
bany a log rolling you'd better lock up
your glassware and your boodle books
a little more securely.
It was a chance shot but the Cleve-

a Sttfr scttortcr. "At the bouse where I
boarded there were 20 or 80 Washington
people. One day a mountaineer came
up to the porchwhere wewere all seated
dragging a dog that seemed very loath
to move. A short distance behind him
was another man also pulling a dog
along.
" 'Gentlemen' said the first man to
arrive 'these hyar dawgs olr th' flght-

liev a bet on 'em an we're gwlne ter

"We oil went to the stable in which
there wer.e a door and a window. A
ring was made and the dogs thrown
into It. One lttered n yelp and jumped
through the window the other made a
break for the door.

Thieves Neatl) Trapped.
A traveler tells a funny story about
the neat capture of two thieves effected
by himself and a friend while travel-
ing in Mexico. They slept in one of
the wing rooms of an inn opening
onto the courtyard. The upper part of
each door was arranged like a Vene-
tian blind for ventilation. Awak-
ened 'by noises toward morning the
traveler saw two lean yellow bandH
extending through the blinds reaching
downward in search for the lock. An
old lariat lay bandy on the table and
the traveler looped a knot at each end
silently approached the door and
snared the two wrists. The stoical rob-
bers made no sound but endured tho
situation trying to sever their bonds
with long sharp knives. The traveler
went back to bed and enjoyed the sit-
uation. At daylight the landlord found
tiie rascals and set up a bowl which
brought the whole village pell-mell

The greatest boon ever ghen to hu-
manity through human agency is sui-
gical anaesthesia. There Is not a min-
ute day or night In the year when It
is not saving some human creature
from torture. There Is not o minute
when it Is not giving mental comfort
to thousands who know that they mutt
undergo operations but that this be-
nign gift will make the ordeal pain-
less. Anaesthesia has banished pain
from surgery and bos taken away the
dread of pain th .t was almost as hard
to bear ns the pain Itself. It has made
easy operations that could not be dona
because tlie Hurt was more tnan numan
fortitude could endure ond thus It has
lengthened life. The fiftieth anniver-
sary of the first public demonstration
of surgical anaesthesia wob recently
relcbratcd in Boston. Physicians and
surgeons made much of the occasion
ss became the representatives of a hu-
mane and beneficent profession. To
have been permitted to give this boon
to the world Is sufficient to Immortalize
the name of the giver Dr. William

WATER8
Tho Atlantlo Coast Line
Change.
Undergoing
Oncu upon n time tho sites of New
York and Philadelphia were far Inland
and there was dry land where now th
ships go sailing.
The sea Is steadily cncronchlng upon
the land In old maps deeds and other
documents the shore lines recorded do
not coincide with thoso of the present
day. Comparisons of Long Beach
from Barnegnt Inlet 12 miles oouth-
ward on the United States coast sur-
vey maps of 1839 and 1871 shows thai
during the Intervening 32 years the
elioro line retreated moro than one-
tenth of a intic. Knelt average year the
ocean advances n rod on the coast oi
New Jersey. This gain by tho sea
amounts In each century to a third of a
mile tho seaward slope being about six
feet per mile. The seaside resortsall
the way from Sandy Hook to Cope May
havo suffered Immense losses by the
march of Father Neptune.
Only last summer great changes were
made In the ocean front at Hcc&oway
beach nnd various places along the Jer-
sey coast. Long Branch has suffered
very severe' and it was not so very
long ago ' it u hotel at another great
ncasld ;ort was dragged back by a
tool omothes from the threat
ening j i f the ocean. That the tides
now run higher thou of oh! Is proved by
submerged forests and mendous. In
the official report of the state geologist
of New Jersey for 1892 there nre ac-
counts of ancient mendous nnd forests
considerably below high water mark
recently exposed by the wear of the
waves on the coast. Some of the trees
had been cut with tho ox.
Prof. W. J. McGco told tho writer of
burled cedar swnmps which hove given
rise to n singular industry the literal
mining uf timber. At several points oi
eastern New Jersey enormous quanti-
ties of white cedar nnd magnolia logs
sound and fit for use are found sub-
merged in the salt marshes sometimes
so near tho surface that roots and
branches protrude. Many of the trees
thus overthrown nnd burled wero for
est giants.
Along the Carolina const Prof. Mc-
Gcesntd the advance of the ocean upon
the ricc-grou ing Islands has been noted
by observing residents during thrco
generations. On the central gulf coast
the samo thing Is going on the land Is
steadily sinking. Forty yenrs ngo Lost
Island a p:isuro resort of New Or-
leans wni swallowed by the storm
waves with most of Its transient popu-
lation "tho wealth and beauty of the
Creole parishes" ond naught but n tlde-
wnshed bank remains to mark Its site.
More than once during later years vil-
lages nnd settlements on tho gulf shores
ond on the delta Islands of tho Missis-
sippi have been swept from the face of
tho land nnd made the prey of tho in-
satiable waters.
The cause of this sinking of tho At-
lantic and gulf coasts is not fnr to seek.
The rlverswhlchcmpty Into the Atlantlo
from Cape Cod to Cope Hattcros ond
along the shore of the gulf carry out
into the ocenn each year billions of tons
of material. This matter Is deposited
outside the ocean's edge nnd the weight
thus transferred cnusi-s a steadily
progressive depression of the coast
line.
Geological science has ascertained
that the entire crust of the earth Is In
suchacondltlon of sensitive equilibrium
thnt the taklug of weight from one part
of It to the other brings about elevation
of tho portion from which the weight Is
removed and produces a corresponding
depression of the portion where It is
ndded. In a word the earth's crust Is
in a condition of hydrostatic equilib-
rium and relatively as sensitive to
changing pressure as the beam of the
astayer's balance.
If tho water in the Atlnntlo ocean
were dried up you would perhaps be
surprised to observe that the eastern
edge of the great land mass called the
North American continent Is not the
present beach line at all. You would
sec that the continent Itself extends far
nut into tho ocean a distance varying
from 30 to 130 miles. Once upon a
time this terrace was all above the wa-
ter; the cast shore of the continent had
a very different shape nnd there was
deep sea close to the coast. Gradually
owing to the cause mentioned this great
terrace has sunk so that the whole
eastern edge of the continent is over-
flowed. Apparently the entire eastern
coastal plain of the United States Ib des-
tined eventually to be submerged be-
neath he ocean together with all its
populous cities ond fertile fields.
Prof. Arthur Hollack of the geolog
ical department of Columbia college
milled vvben bis attention was called
to the suDjccl of the sinking of New
York.
"It Is not a very serious matter" bo
said "as centuries will be required to
make any level nlong this coast. But
that there Iso gradual subsidence going
on Is quite well verified by careful or-
tervatlon olong the Atlantic shore.
The United States coast survey has
paid some attention to this matter and
Its reports show that there is a settling
In the coast line uf a little over a foot In
a century." N. Y. Herald.

A JOURNEY TO OKLAHOMA.
A Flcasaut ricturo of n Much Adver-
tised Country.
Tlino becomos very valuablo
when you havo only a low minutes
In which to catch a train nnd very
worthless when ono gots thoro just
in timo to ico It moving off as our
party found on reaching Cofloy-
villo on routo to tho "Strip addi-
tion" to Oklahoma. ilowovortho
grand band concert end tho Salva-
tion Army wcro entertaining nnd
wo whilcd away tho timo until tho
next train.
I havo often wonderod whoro
McCormick and other invontora of
whoat harvesters got their scenory
for pictures in their ndyortiso-
monts but after wo passod Win-
llcld Kansas going south wo)saw
tho original. The wheat hurts tho
eyeB to look at it but a eovorernln
nnd hail Btorm since wo nrrived
has marred its beauty to eotno ex-
tent. My two half brothers who woro
in tho terrible "booth line" of Ar-
kansas City used to toll us of (ho
song tbo tired and thirsty men
Bang when tbo hot sandy winds
wore scorching them:
"After tho Strip Is. opened.
A f ter tlio claim nro lnld.
After tho horses nro burled.
After tho bond nro paid.
Mnny hearts will bo ucltlng. etc "
Wo nro told their hearts did nu.o
many times nbout tho failure of
crops nnd contest but now a new
song is being sung tune "lied
Whito nnd Blue:"
'Oklahoma the ncni of tlio nation
Dear Inntl of tlio bluo western sky i
When wrapped In the grand desolation
Tito word that tliy acres wcro frco
IlrouRlit tlio sinew nnd nerro of tlio nation
In crowd to thy slicltcrlnR lea
Uf tltou bountiful riches tliou Rarest
To tliy son. nnd tlio world near and fur.
Hut tliou) count llio truest nnd bravest
Who honor thr tcmueranco star."
When wo caino to Cross near
tho end of our journey by mil nnd
mndo famous through an article in
tho Youth's Companion as being
tho cemotery of Ponca City one
milo away wo looked out of tho
car windows and saw no sign of a
graveyard but a deBorted saloon
leaning over rendy to fall and tho
bugo glass painted on it filled with
liquor would have beon emptied of
its contents had it been real. I re-
marked "if this is what they bury
out here isn't it glorious? It is the
first graveyard that ever mnde mo
laugh."
Ponca is u beautiful city about
the Bize of Vinitn with a magnifi-
cent public school building of 6tonc
and if it and Cross should unite
and get on friendly terms they
would mako a great town.
Tho first placo of interest visited
niter wo nrrived at my brother's
was to seo tho prairie dogs in their
notivo home which was very ro-
mantic and to mako it moro "wild
west-like" a largo jack rabbit rnu
within n few feet of us. Wo found
Inter thnt they nro no rnro sight
for they play about liko kittens
lloy John paid "they wouldn't cut
around like that if tho Crockett
boys nnd their grey hounds were
out boro awhile." I mutt spoil
tho pit-tare by telling it wns in the
pasture only n few hundred yards
from tlio house with tho lazy cattle
hruusing around looking at us won-
deringly. And now moro nbout tho Tern-
puranco Slnr. I find that it is hon-
ored out here in dpito of a few sa-
loons. The i:cxt day after wo arrived
was Sunday und quarterly meeting
and of course communion services.
I being a Btrnnger nnd not anx-
ious to brenk the pledge asked tho
minister in n very low tono of
voico that I might disturb no one
if tho wine wero unfermented; ho
answered so all tho congregation
could hear him "yes mn'nm" and
that ho would use no oilier kind
nnd nover did but ono timo and if
any other kind woro brought to
him again bo would throw it out
of tho window. Tho name of this
level-headed minister desorvoB
mention; it is Hev. E. C. Harper
of tho M. K. church pastor of
Ponca City and alo pastor of this
neighborhood called Excelsior.
I cannot completo this arliclo
without paying a tributo to tho
frogs or tonds as they call them
hero. Unliko tho frogs of Pha-
raoh's tlmo they enmo as delivers
last year. When tho chinch bugs
wero devouring tho crops thoy
camo to tho roscuo and ato them
as fast ns thoy camo. I board ono
farmer say thoy did not come to
his farm and he sent out teams ono
evening und gathered up seventeen
hundred and set them in rows
whoro the chinch bugs were com
ing and they bavod bis crop. We
were so interested in tliolr story we
drovo down among them and lis-
tened to tho "frog chorus"for thoy
havo hours of song; it was simply
deafening. Hundreds of them
turned their heads to look at us
with their largo innocent oyes and
kept on singing making their rnu-
sio with a largo blubber-like trans
parent lining it throws out of its
mouth looking for nil tho world
like thoy held glass balls in their
mouths from tho alio of a mnrblo
to a Ew Cgg
Ono brothor'a claim is on tbo old
Captain Payno IowiibUo whore
twic) it has been laid off k lots
tt
for tbo town of Chlcaskift. Thous-
ands of dollars havo beon spont
and a rumor comon thnt thoy yot
intend it to bo a county seat al-
though tho whont nnd corn growB
on in pencelttl unconsctoune8
Tho first mail brought The CitiKF-
TAtJ which seemed liko mooting an
old friend.
