SUNDAY MORNING,
BUTTES AND
THEIR FORMATION
t Fy Charles Frederick Holder.
IT is demonstrated that if the dry
land of the globe, the continents
and Islands, could be leveled or
shoveled Into the ocean the latter
would cover the entire globe, so vast
and deep Is the watery envelope. The
continents, then, and their inhabitants,

might be considered simple accidents,
as had the globe remained quiescent
and upheavals of the mist not oc
curred the globe would have been u
vast sen. Happily for the human rncc
the reverse held, and man lias made
Ills home upon what are virtually the
tops of mountains or long elevated
mountain ranges ten miles in height,
measuring from the top of the highest
mountain to the deepeat abyss of the
ocean. Muuy changes have occurred
lu tlic past millions of years aluoe the
dry land appeared, and doubtless many
of the mountains were much higher,
but nature is ever carrying on a tierce
warfare, nhd slowly and Imperceptibly
the heights are leveled, the mountain
peaks denuded, and the dry land
washed down the great river courses
into the sea; and theoretically, given
sufllclent time, assuming that no ele
vation occurs, the entire earth may dis
appear.
Tills wear and tear of nature Is ac
complished in many ways, and is pro
ductive of Interesting results. Frost,
snow, wind nml rain are the prluclpal
erosive agents which arc chiseling,
cutting, grinding and wearing away
the surfnee of the earfb. The elements
are all levelers, and the tendency Is to
reduce the mighty monuments of na
ture and level them in the dust. In the
accomplishment of this many remark
able natural monuments are made,
splendid In their dignity and grandeur.
Instances are found in the Garden of
the Gods, in Colorado, where pillars,
Towers, mouolitlis, arches, gateways,
titanic newel posts and forms and
shapes of every possible kind and de
sign nre seen—the work of frost and
rain.
Hut It Is farther west that the most
striking effects of erosion are found.

One of the most Interesting of the
largest buttes ts the famous Enchant
ed Mesa, which lias been written up as
a novelty by many modern writers and
over which much discussion Ims oc
curred. This mesa is a type of ex
treme isolation and abruptness, the
talus being so steep that ascent is ex
tremely difficult to the average climber.
A typical butte Is well shown in the

A HUMANE HORSESHOE,
Ma<l of ICubber anti Prevents Equine
Ailment*.
Considerable attention Ims been at
tracted to the new humane rubber
horseshoe which recently appeared on
tlio market. The primary object of
shoeing to-day is, or at least ought to
be, for the purpose of controlling and
directing the growth of the feel so
they can act as a base to support the
limb pioperly. Lameness in horses
while unshod is often very dissimilar
to the same ailment while In a shod
condition. While unshod the sole of
the foot Is most likely to suffer, hut
when poorly shod the portion above
the sole becomes the centre of pain,
which causes a general disturbance.
A horse often becomes lame because of
Insufficient quantity In the matter of
hoof, while an over quantity may be
the cause of lameness common to the
horse.

ders the horse unfit for service. By
using the humane rubber slice the life
of the horse is prolonged, and many
bad habits that the animal Is subject
to are avoided, such as ankle cuffing,
tendou nml knee bruising, and forging
is also prevented. The animal cannot
injure himself on the street or in the
stall with this shoe, and the wear is
equal to any metallic shoe, it pre
vents the horse from slipping and gives
to the foot frog pressure and full rub
ber bearing on the whole margin of the
foot, there being a thin covering of
sole leather ou the upper side of the
shoe which prevents the hoof from
coming in contact with the rubber.
There is no liot fittiug with this shoe,
thereby avoiding the absorption of the
natural oil of the hoof, and the owners
of horses should realise that the
horse’s foot must be protected while In
use on hard pavements and where it is
deprived of natural protection which
the soil affords and where the foot will
in a great measure take care of itself.

A CROUP OF CURIOUS STORIES
GATHERED FROM MANY SOURCES.
REMARKABLE KANSAS TWINS.
John Stites and Wilbur Stites, twins,
have lived In Wichita for many years.
About a week ago John-was taken to
a local hospital suffering from cancer
of the stomach. On Wednesday night
Wilbur went from the bedside of his
brother to his home. At the moment
when Wilbur left there was no appear
ance of immediate danger in the con
dition of John. Yet on entering the
house a few minutes later, Wilbur
threw up his hands and ejr.rulated,
‘‘John is dead!” And so it developed.
John had died at the hospital at the
exact moment when the thought came
to Wilbur.
In 1872 John and Wilbur were mar
ried to Alice and Carrie Worth, in Clay
County. Mo., and these brides were
twins. Furthermore, an elder brother
of the Stites twins married an elder
sister of the Worth twins, and the two
families were thus connected in a man
ner seldom found.
Both John and Wilbur were well
known and respected citizens of Wich
ita, and for years it hfts been noticed
by their friends that they thought alike
on every subject. Often, as a test, they
were questioned separately, and each
gave the same reply, differing, perhaps,
only a little in their forms of expres
sion. Their business partner, J, S.
Alexander, has been with them thirty
years. He knew them apart, but he
could not tell how he know. “I have,”
he said, “made the most minute exam
ination of their faces and forms, of
their eyes and expressions, of their
voices and their laughter, of their liab
Its and manners, and for the life of me
I can’t tell why I knew them separate
ly. We who have known them for n
quarter of a century have noticed that
they cut their tobacco in exactly the
same form, that they walked exactly
alike, and that they thought precisely
alike.”
Once, when John broke a limb, Wil
bur immediately suffered corresponding
pains in the same limb. They had
never been known to disagree on any
matter. They lived together in the
same house for thirty years.—Wichita

“next” was alive.
At Wellsville, Ohio, the family of
Samuel Col ledge, a painter, living on
Commerce street, beltoving him dead,
began making preparations for the
funeral. John Bissnjan, a barber, was
sent for to shave the dead man. Biss
man was showu into a room where
he found tile body of a man lying upon
a bed. When the sheet was removed
Bissraan recognized the fetures of Col
ledge.
Blssman made the lather and applied
it to the face of the sileut man. As
soon as Bissmau’s wet fingers touched
the face of Colledge lie discovered that
the face was warm. Bissman scruti
nized tlie face closely and placed his
band over the man’s heart. The heart
of Samuel Colledge was beating, not
very rapidly, but with enough force to
show that life had not gone.
Blssman notified tbe people in the
bouse that Colledge was alive, and the
preparations for the funeral were aban
doned. Shortly afterward Colledge re
covered consciousness. He had been
seriously ill for several days.
THE NURSERY SHOE.
It is proposed to erect a gigantic shoe
on the World's Fair Grounds as an at
tractive feature for the children, and at
the same time to put it to the practical
use of a nursery and playground. It is
planned to build it to correspond with
the ideas conveyed in the rhymes of
our childhood, and to maintain dif
ferent compartments especially fitted
up for the comfort and amusement of
the little ones. Uniformed and trained
nurses will tie in attendance to care
for them while their parents are view
ing other attractions.
A movable sidewalk is suggested to
Odd to the novelty of the structure.
The shoe would have the appearance
of haring been worn by a great giant
and various patches and holes will be
Used ns entrances, exits aud windows.
THE BRUNSWICK DAILY NEWS.
Through one of these openings a great
papier inaehe figure of the old woman
who lived in the shoe will peer out,
and at other holes the live children
would of course appear, thus giving a
realistic effect to the scene.
The principal entrance will be to an
elevator, which will take visitors to
the different apartments. A large ob
servation platform will be arranged
where a hand of string music will play
all the popular nursery airs of child
hood’s happy nays.
Many splendid electric light effects
will lie Introduced, if the shoe is built,
to make it particularly picturesque al

the health and comfort of the children
will be served, and everything to amuse

holiday parties who frequent the pal

the walks are of clipped hornbeam,
and are about live feet in height. The
puzzle is to get to the centre, where
scats are placed under two lofty trees,
and many are the disappointments ex
perienced before the end is attained;
and even then the trouble is not over, it
being quite as difficult to get out ns
to get in.
A CURIOUS PROPHECY.
In the year 1918, 11 years hence, the
German Umpire is to go to pieces, ac
cording to u Polish prophet. His rea
sons for the prophecy are so cogent
that there is no room for doubt, says
the Loudon Express.
Take, he says, the year 1.849, the
date when the “Constitution of the
German Empire” was ffist framed, and
add the figures. The result is 22. If
this is added to 1849 we get 1871—the
year when the German Empire was
founded.
Now add together the figures of that
year. Result, 17. Tack this on tc
1871, and 1888 comes out—the ycai
when Germany lost her first two Em
perors—the Emperors William and
Frederick.
Repeat the addition process. l-i-S-l-S-i-3
equals 25; 188 S-i-23 equals 1918.
What does this signify? To most
people noihing more than 1918. But
the Polisli prophet has an answer pat
—l9lß Is the date of Germany's de
struction. Could anything be clearer?
A OREWSOME CURE.
Diseases have been treated in many
odd ways iu the hope of cure, says the
London Chronicle. One of the oddest
aud most grewsome is alluded to by
the Vicar of Filey in ids account of his
walk to Rome. On the way he came
across a German, who mentioned,
rather mysteriously, the Hanoverian
method of execution by decapitation.
Being further questioned, he said that
at one of these executions he was in
charge of nu epileptic girl, who was
brought there to driulc the warm blood
of the executed criminal, as it was
considered an infallible cure for fits.
This took place in 1857, and the man
had in his possession an illustrated
paper of that time which pictured she
incident.
CUT IN TWO TO SAVE LIFE.
Toronto surgeons are proud of an
unparalleled feat performed at the
Toronto Hospital. The patient, a la
borer, was suffering from spreading
gangrene, which affected both legs and
must infallibly have proved fatal in
a short time. The only hope was to
cut off both legs. It was not a mere
case of amputation. The whole of the
thighs had to be removed, the hip bones
being separated at the upper joints and
the nerve branches destroyed. The
man was, in fact, cut in halves. The
operation was a brilliant success.

NEW FOOD PLANTS.
Need Only Scientific Cultivation to Make
Them Delicious.
According to a consular report from
Edward H. Thompson, who is sta
tioned at Progreso, the gardens and
fields of Yucatan are filled with succu
lent vegetables and odorous her’is un
known to tbe outer world. Iu the cul
tivated fields, at. the proper seasons,
are grown classes of Indian corn,
beans, squashes and tubers for which
we have no name, for the reason that
we have never seen or heard of ihem.
The forests and jungles contain fruits
that, excellent ever, in their wild suite,
could be made delicious by scientific
care and cultivation. There are half
a score of wild fruits that offer more
promising results than did the bitter
wild almond, the progenitor of the
peach.
The most important of tire large ce
reals is the maize of tbe Mexicans—
the Indian corn of the Americans and
the jxim of the Mayas of Yucatan.
Like several other vegetable products,
its origin as a cultivated plant is en
veloped in obscurity, the wild plant
from which it was evolved not yet
having been identified. Many believe
that the cultivated plant was bora
somewhere between Yucatan and the
table-land of Mexico. The mother
plant was probably a grass, and the
new grain spread to all sections, each
one giving it certain characteristics
until the varieties grown in the north
hardly seem related to tliuse of the
southern lands. Yucatan lias six varie
ties of tills grain, and the Maya In
dian reverentially speaks of it as the
“grace of God." The natives of Yuca
tan prefer the native corn to that im
ported from the United States, and
will cheerfully pay the higher price
demanded ill times of scarcity. They
state that our method of kiln drying
Injures the grain. They allow- the
grain to harden and dry slowly in tho
car upon the stalk.
The plant, or rather the running vine,
known as the maeal box (makal bosh),
produces a tuberous root of great up
tritive value. Entire families have
lived upon this root for weeks at a time
and were healthy and well nourished.
This plant is very productive. About
the middle of May the green shoots
first appear above the earth. They
grow- rapidly, and in November are
ready to be dug. The tuber is about
the size of a large Irish potato and is
of a purplish color, like a certain class
of sweet potato. It can he cooked in
the same way as the sweet potato. The
plant is hardy. A long drouth may
cause the vine to wither. Inn with tho
lightest rain it springs up anew. The
roots left in the ground as too small
for food propagate the plant, and each
year the yield increases. It scents to
be a kind of native yarn; it grows in
almost any kind of moderately rich
soil, and when cultivated Intelligently
should be of certain value as a food
plant.
The xmakin maeal (shmakeen ma
kali, like the tqucal, box, appears in
May and is gathered in November, but
it yields only one or two tubers to the
plant. These, however, are of large
size, resembling enormous Irish pota
toes. I have seen four of these great
roots fill a bttshel basket. The in
terior is white and seems to be nearly
pure starch. It is planted ns we set
out potatoes. The plants grow close
together, and, while 1 have no exact
figures, the yield per acre should be
phenomenal, so far as weight of prod
uct is concerned.
Xntehen chi-can (shtnohen old kan)
seems to be a kind of artichoke, weigh
ing when mature about a pound. Tbt
plants are running vines, rarely more
tliau a yard long. An acre will yield
an immense crop under favorable con
ditions. The plant, sown in August,
can be gathered in November.
Xuuo chi-can is a larger root, weigh
ins when mature about three pounds.
It is a hardy plant and produces well.
Both of these roots are eaten roasted
or boiled, and many like them raw.

Farmer* and <Jood Votdf.
THE advocates of good roads
wiii find plenty of arguments
in the recent report of the In
dustrial Commission on the
marketing and distribution of farming
products. This report shows tho value
of good couutry roads and the immense
saving that could be effected through
them. It also furnishes arguments in
favor of the construction of electric
lines through the farming sections of
the country, not only for the hauling of
passengers, but for the hauling of
freight.
The report shows that the cost of
hauling farm products over country
roads is $900,000,000 a year, or more
than the entire cost of operating all the
railways in the United States. The total
operating expenses of railroads is esti
mated at only $18,000,000 annually. The
average haul to the nearest shipping
station in the transportation of farm
products is twelve miles, and the aver
age cost is twenty-five cents a ton a
mile, or $8 a ton for the twelve miles.
By comparing this ton mile cost with
the average ton mile revenue of the
railroads in the country, which
amounts to seven mills a mile, the im
mense opportunity for saviug that
would lie effected through good roads
may readily be seen. If farm products
could be hauled to market at seven
mills a ton mile, as is the case with
railway traffic, the entire charge for
transportation would be less than s2tl.-
000,000, as compared with the $900,-
000,000 it costs the farmers to haul
their products over ordinary roads.
The building of good roads and the
construction of electric lines will mean
an enormous saving to the farming
classes. Some of the advocates of good
roads believe that the two could be
constructed jointly, as the cost would
be proportionately less for the building
of good wagon roads, which could also
be used for electric railways. These
electric railways could be constructed
through those sections of the farming
ronatnnnity which would offer the best
possibilities in the way of freight and
passenger traffic returns, and wagon
roads could be built connecting these
with all sections of the country. The
farmer who did not live on the direct
line of an electric railway could haul
Ills freight to the nearest point, where
it could be quickly transferred to an
electric train.
That this possibility is fully realized
by the builders of electric railways is
shown by the rapid development that
these lines are making as freight car
riers. Throughtout the country they
are extending their lines into new terri
tory and standardizing equipment and
roadbeds iu order to provide for the
hauling of the freight. It is
said by James .T, Hill that trunk lines
as at present constituted are capable
of handling from three to five times
the amount of traffic they now carry.
To parallel existing lines would, there
fore. be impracticable and unprofitable.
Leaving out of consideration the almost
insurmountable difficulties the new
companies would encounter In attempt
ing to secure suitable right of way
with adequate terminals in any of the
larger cities, it is certain that no bank
ing house would consider for a mo
ment the underwriting of the securi
ties of any proposed company parallel
ing existing lines.
The field of the electric railway Is
not in paralleling, but in supplement
ing, the steam railroad systems of the
country. It hits been pointed out in
the Commercial that electric railways
have materially lessened the number of
passengers carried by steam railways,
and that more and more of the short,
haul passenger business is going to the
more cheaply constructed and more
cheaply operated electric lines. This
competition is welcomed by the steam
railways. A similar situation exists in
regard to freight traffic. The steam
railroads of the nited States would wol
eome any addition to transportation
f '.ciliiies which would result in the
centralising of traffic at shipping points
by a more economical method than the
present cumbersome one of hauling it
in wagons over country roads. Electric
railways can be made feeders for the
steam railroads, and if built with due
regard to tile avoiding of competition
they will supplement and increase the
traffic of the steam railways without
in any way interfering with the earn
ings of the latter.—New York Commer
cial Advertiser. £
Should Set an Example.
New Yorkers want good roads and
good canals aplenty. The thorough
fares on land should be numerous and
■well constructed, firm and safe, strong
and spacious, while the thoroughfares
of the water should lie broad and deep.
The Empire State should set a magni
ficent example to every other common
wealth in its highways of travel and
traffic, both on tile solid earth and in
tfio water channels of trade. \r
