THE COLORADO DESERT.
How Sound Carries and the Way Mi
rages Come and Go.
Talk about wireless telephones!
! The Colorado desert goes science
one better in that line. According
to travelers in that neck of sand ,
and sagebrush, you can dispense I
with any kind of telephone, with or
without wires, at least up to a cer
tain distance.
Two men a mile apart can carry
on a conversation in an ordinary
tone of voice, particularly if there
happens to be a small hill behind
each, writes Harvey Ilall Kessler in
the Travel Magazine. The prevail
ing silence is so intense that it
might be called deafening,
i Perhaps, after all, the weirdest
among many strange features of the
desert is the mirage. We have
camped perhaps and gone to bed
early in the evening with the ther
mometer registering not far below
the hundred mark. We awake,
shivering with cold beneath our
blankets, and look toward the east.
There is the slightest suggestion
of light in the 6ky there, which as
we watch grows slowly in strength.
A grayish haze marks the horizon’s
edge, which stands out snore sharply
at one point, from which broad,
pale rays creep up and out high
above in the sky. These again
slowly fade as a point of brilliant
light appears at their base. This
point grows to a half circle, then
breaks and runs along the sky line
in a surging, golden lake.
Upon the shores of this lake
cities spring up, towers, spires and
solid blocks. These fade into fields
and forests and farming scenes —
fields of golden grain, cattle stand
ing in green alfalfa, sheets of wa
ter. The mountains near the edge
of the lake separate from their
bases and float upward, topple over
and stand on their heads, their un
wieldy feet in air.
Soon our lake begins to contract
and collect into a big round ball of
dazzling brilliance hung just above
the horizon. Farms and forest dis
appear. The mountains, as though
abashed at being caught in such an
unseemly attitude by the broad
light of day, quickly resume their
normal position, while all the stark
landscape stiffens into unstirring en
durance of the garish light and
blazing heat of the desert sun. The
mirage is gone like a bubble. Only
the gray desert remains.
Reasons For Being Indignant.
There was something in the at
mosphere which told him that
things were not exactly the same.
Silence followed soon after the
usual greetings, but at length she
spoke. “Are you aware, sir,” she
began, “that one hand of the Bar
tholdi statue measures sixteen feet
five inches?”
“So I have heard,” he nodded,
happy to be addressed again.
“The thickness of the head from
ear to ear,” she pursued icily, “is
ten feet.”
“Yes.”
“The nose is four feet six inches
tong.”
“That’s right.”
“The mouth is three feet across.”
“I believe so. Just imagine it.”
“The waist thirty-five feet
around.”
“Y-yes. Why?”
“Then will you kindly explain,
sir,” she continued, “why you stated
in the poem which you addressed to
me that I reminded you of the God
dess of Liberty ?” —Ladies’ Home
Journal.
It Was New to the Bishop.
At an unusually large dinner par- .
tv. where the guest of honor was an
English bishop, the butler, an elder
ly man, was obliged to bring in
from a friend’s house an inexpe
rienced lad to help him in the din- :
ing room. The awkward helper an
noyed the butler beyond endurance
with questions as to his duties.
He continued interminably until
the butler, worn out and nervous, (
said ironically:
“All you will need to do is to '
stand behind the bishop’s chair, and
: whenever his lordship puts down
j his glass you must reach over and ,
wipe his mouth with a napkin.”
That silenced his assistant. But
the young man actually took the or
der seriously, and as soon as dinner
began he stationed himself behind j
the bishop, waited till his lordship j
had drunk and put down his glass, j
and then, as deliberately as his j
nervousness would permit, he open
ed out a large napkin and wiped the j
dignified old gentleman’s mouth!
