HE particular part of Montana about which this song was sung lies in the far northwest corner of the stater, where the Rocky mountains, their summits covered with eternal snow, their bases clothed • in pine forests of perpetual green, swung over the Canadian border.

down through the heart of the continent to the year-long summer lands of Mexico. Eighty lakes, sapphire and opal and diamond clear, in the varying lights, reflect the blue western sky. Threescore living glaciers, green with the depths of ice that endures season after season, lies the the hollows of the giant peaks. Crystal streams descend in countless waterfalls over the brown rocks and break the silence of the forest trails. In these mountains, left save for a few trails as they were before the first vrhite men pushed their way across the plains to the further ocean, the wild things of that early wilderness still find a refuge. Acustomed to think of Montana as a state of cattle ranges, big wheat crops, and the home of copper, we know nothing of this part of it —this land of delight. Yet we, in common with some 40,000,000 of other Americans, are its owners. Congress, in one of its moments of wisdom two years ago, set it aside as a national possession to be, as Chief Two Guns said, “a playground for all the people, rich and poor, white and Indian, forever.” It is now Glacier National park, and there are some 1,400 square miles within its borders. You may roam through it for a month and never tread the same ground twice. It W’as by pony travel that a party of eastern tenderfeet, fresh from occupations in which exercise is at a discount and locomotion is mostly by street car, explored the park a few weeks ago. They emerged from a two weeks’ exile, after some tribulation, hard as nails and healthy as savages. This dairy is a brief record of their •experiences: , Two Medicine, Mont., Thursday. It is eight miles from the park gateway at Midvale to the first chalet at Two Medicine. But these are Montana miles, and as Old Philadelphia said, if they would only sell you land on the Montana measurement and let you resell it on the Eastern scale it would be a mighty satisfactory transaction. The trail led over several small streams, and on through forests of pine and scrub oak. But always it led upward, a little nearer the snow-capped mountains Inclosing the green ahead. The pace dropped to an easy walk, the horses’ feet fell noiselessly upon the thick pine needles, and scarcely a sound disturbed the forest peace. Late afternoon came all too soon. A sudden turn in the trail brought into view a pretty log chalet beside a deep blue lake, the mountains coming down to its very edge. Smoke curled from the cdok house chimney, suggesting good things to eat. The ponies broke Into a
SAW HER AFFINITY IN POET Mme. Leblanc Openly Wooed Maurice Maeterlinck and Tells the Story of Her Triumph. Os the wooing of Maurice Maeterlinck by Mme. Georgette Leblanc, the “Gil Blas” tells the story as given by the lady herself. Mme. Leblanc, on reading one of the poet's volumes, said to herself, said she: “This man •hall be my husband and no other.” She communicated this resolution to
trot, and for the moment saddle soreness was -forgotten. This was Two Medicine, the end of the first stage of our journey. Cutbank Camp, Friday. Leaving Two Medicine, we rode away in a golden morning. A light hoar frost sprinkled the grass. The sun was rolling a curtain of white mist upward from the violet sides of Rising Wolf mountain. Upward the trail wound, the horses picking their way over fallen trees, now dipping into yeasty hollows, now climbing a slippery bank. One rode at an angle of 45 degrees forward and backward, alternately. The trees gfcew thinner and scrubbier —“Nature’s stunted step-children,” the official tenderfoot poet called them—and the trail steeper until we emerged aloft, almost at the timber line. Presently we were riding in a flurry of snowflakes that hid mountain and valley. A cloud rift letting through a gleam of sunlight revealed our snow falling as rain in the valley below. Noon came and luncheon. It was hardly more than four hours since breakfast, yet hungry eyes watched the preparations until at length was heard a call which for music grateful to the ear will never be equaled in the Metropolitan Opera House. That call consists of four syllables—grace notes they might be called if this were any subject for mere frivolity. It runs like this: “Co-ome an’ git it!” It is the park summons to meals. The rush follows. We “got it,” and proceeded on our way newheartened, though the weather had still a new variation for us. The last section of the eighteen miles from Two Medicine was traversed through a heavy drizzle, and the going was heavy. Lake St. Mary’s, Saturday. We had started from Cutbank in better trim than on the day before, and were riding more at east Around the bend in the trail ahead swept a band of painted Indians, drums beating and eagle feathers streaming in the breeze. A few paces from our leading file they reined in their ponies, formed line, and made guttural sounds of uncertain import. George Star, Blackfciot interpreter, trotted to the front. ’ “Chief Two Guns,” announced Mr. Starr, indicating a stalwart Indian in beaded buckskin and a chief’s war bonnet. “Chief’Jim W’hite Calf,” indicating another handsome Indian, “both sons of old man White Calf, dead now —great chief. They come to welcome you'to park. Big Moon, medicine man.” Mr. Big Moon nodded pleasantly. “For three days he makes medicine to have fine weather while you’re in park.” The Narrows, Upper St. Mary’s Lake, Monday. Leaving the horses to be picked up later, we journeyed today by motor launch up St. Mary’s lake to this point, where still a new phase of this western scenery presents itself. The lake nar rows as you ascend, and the mountains come closer, becoming as it were on more intimate terms with humanity. Very near seemed their brown sides, banded with gray and black, and snow-covered summits, in the clear air. A tiny glacier in a narrow gulch loked so close that
her friends, who made her belive that Maeterlinck was an old man with one foot in the grave. What was her surprise, when the long-hoped-for meeting took place, to find that he was “young and strong and beautiful." The lady ran towards the poet with a cry. But the poet bashfully recoiled, and little wonder, perhaps, for listen to Mme. Leblanc’s own words: “I was like a little tigress. My heart was terribly* excited; my cheeks burned; and my eyes were aflame.” But there is na armor against fate,
especially when fate takes the bizarre but alluring form of a “little tigress in a tight black dress with a long train, and on the forehead, between the eyes, a simple blazing diamond.” So, continues the story of the interview, “I took his hand” —thus Mme. Leblanc —"and said to him, 'You are’ mine; you are my husband.’ He was disconcerted by my boldness, which had the force of a storm In a forest He questioned me on my self and my life. Sensitive as I am, I realized that he doubted me. 'Give me I
you would expect to throw a stone upon its surface with ease. The guide said it was a full three miles away. Lake McDermott, Wednesday. We have seen mauy beautiful sights, but the unanimous verdict on reaching camp tonight was that the day’s ride had been the most beautiful ride of all; at which Tom Dawson, the veteran chief guide, only sailed. He is used to these tenderfoot raptures. “Why,” he said, “you haven't seen anything to speak of yet. This is only the beginning.” Beautiful Lake Sherbourne was passed at a canter, for the tenderfeet by this time have become hardened to the saddle, and each rider’s pany is his best friend. Toward evening we came upon a new and strange sight. By the remnants of a grass-grown stage road we reached a group of log houses, larger and more pretentious than most. The guide explained: “This is Altyn, a dead town. It was built up by a copper mining prospect, but the prospect was only a pocket, and the pocket soon gave out Then everybody went away. It has been deserted ten years.” We left Altyn behind and in a few minutes were in quite a different spot. The Lake McDermott chalets are grouped about a waterfall, around which the mountains stand sentinel. Their summits as we saw them first were flushed with pink in the evening light, and Inspired new adjectives of admiration, all too weak. Lake McDermott, Friday. Yesterday we rode to Iceberg lake and our park in still another guise. We passed through a forest of giant Christmas trees with the snow thick upon their branches and the whole -world green beneath, then skirted the steepest mountains encountered in all our travel hitherto, climbed the famous Golden Stairs, and at last reached a valley where on three sides huge cliffs looked down upon a sapphire lake set in a sea of white. Or one side a glacier centuries old moves an Inch or so a year down the steep rocks, its waters feding the lake, whose surface is dotted with huge cakes of ice. TFhe hottest day in August is cool at Iceberg lake, and finds the glacial fragments floating there as though it were early spring. Today we traveled to still another beauty spot, Cracker lake, haunt of the big horn sheep, whose tracks here and there were seen upon the snow’s smooth surface. Tomorrow we move onward to Lake McDonald and homeward. Lake McDonald, Monday. Here on the park’s western border, and by the side of the largest—many say the most beautiful of all its many lakes —we have spent our last day. Our exploration is at an end, for here the outside world makes Itself felt again. Hobnailed boots and khaki, short skirt and sweater here meet the habiliments of civilization upon a common footing. We said good-bye to our trusty ponies yesterday and today we tramped it to the Royal Gorge and waterfall, which are McDonald’s chief beauties. Most of the folk who have been to the park are going back there. Our own west also has its spell.
said, ’and I will gain your confidence.’ ” Was ever poet in this manner wooed and won? And She Always Asks. “You always go marketing with your wife, don’t you?” "Always, but I have an object in view.” “And what is that?’’ "I have been seeking all the years of our married life for a dealer who. will say ‘No* when she asks him if his eggs or berries are fresh.”
tiyw DRUGS FORCED INTO SYSTEM Electric Current Now Being Exten- . sively Used In England for Treatment of Skin Diseases. Forcing drugs into the system along the path of an electric current Is a novel form of treatment for skin diseases, which is now being extensively used at St. Bartholomew’s hospital, says the London Daily Mail. First introduced by Professor Leduc of Paris in 1903, it has only recently emerged from its experimental stages. The treatment consists of passing an electric current through the diseased part, one of the electrodes being covered with a pad soaked in a solution containing a drug or chemical. The electricity breaks up the solution into “ions,” which penetrate the tissue cells along with the current The disease for which lonic medication has proved most successful so far, according to Dr. Lewis Jones, is rodent ulcer —treated with zinc ions. Here a pad of lint soaked in a one per cent, solution of zinc sulphate is placed over the ulcer. A zinc electrode padded with lint, also soaked in the solution and connected with the positive pole of an ordinary continuous current battery, is then applied over this. The current is applied for ten or fifteen minutes at a time. As the process is sometimes painful the part may be first cocainised by ionisation, a one per cent, solution of cocaine hydrochloride being applied and the current passed for a few minutes. IMPROVEMENT ON TELEPHONE Attachment Intended for Purpose of Detecting Interference With Party Lines. In describing a telephone attachment, invented by A. Schlosser, Dodge, Neb., the Scientific American says: This invention pertains to improvements in telephone attachments, and '7 \ ’ • ®Jk J? y j ’ 7nw j I | ii I * • j f •• —' —i Telephone Attachment. has particular reference to devices of this character devised for the purpose ■of detecting the interference with party lines due to unauthorized parties listening to a conversation. An object of the improvement is to provide a detector of the nature Indicated which will be simpler and more effective than those heretofore ordinarily proposed. ELECTRIFICATION IN SWEDEN Work on State Lines Between Klruna and Riksgransen Nearing Completion—Other Plans. Electrification of the lines of the Swedish state railroads from Klruna to Kiksgransen is nearing completion and the government is now planning the electrification of the large trunk lines from Stockholm to Malmo and from Stockholm to Gothenburg. The cost of the lines at present under consideration will be nearly $30,000,000. The transmission lines, transformer stations and locomotives will cost approximately $20,000,000 and the new generating station will cost In the neighborhood of $10,000,000. The ancient city of Smyrna is to have an electric street railway. Fifty species of fish possess organs capable of Imparting electric shocks. Berlin is experimenting with small electric automobiles for the rapid distribution of mail. Electrical apparatus for permanently curling women’s hair is a German scientist’s invention. Paris’ underground electric railroads are now carrying more than 400,000,000 passengers a year. Electric heaters have been specially designed in England for state rooms and saloons on shipboard. Electrical machinery worth more than $23,000,000 was exported from the United States last year. It requires more than a century for a cedar tree to grow large enough to yield a 30-foot telephone pole. The island of Juan Fernandez, made famous by the story of Robinson Crusoe, is to have a wireless station. A company has been formed in Copenhagen that will make it a business to clean and disinfect telephones. To enable playgoers to read their programs in darkened theaters an English inventor has placed a storage battery light in an opera glass case. Tiny but efficient electric lamps to be worn on their caps by bandsmen at night and supplied with current by storage batteries have been invented. Uruguay has postponed until next June the enforcement of its new law requiring passenger vessels calling at its ports to be equipped with wireless telegraph. For grounding telephone lines there have been invented anchor plates tn the form of bowls which hold charcoal to colleat and retain moisture. .
TIRES VULCANIZED ON ROAD Repair of Cut* and Tear* Made Easy Matter by U*e of Portable Electrical Outfit. A portable electrical outfit which makes the vulcanizing of cuts and tears in the inner tube, and of blisters and cuts in the outer casing, a comparatively simple matter wherever electric current is available, is on the market, says the Popular Mechanics. The heating element, which is insulated between the two vulcanizing plates, gives a uniform temperature over the entire surface of the plates, one of which has a flat surface, for use on the clamping board when repairing Inner tubes. The other plate Ir Wv i—L • Electric Vulcanizer Applied on the Outer Tire While on the Wheel. has a concave surface, for use In repairing the casing while the tire is on the wheel. The complete outfit consists of the vulcanizer, 15 feet of flexible wiring, a rheostat attached- to a clamping board, two canvas attachment straps, and a thermometer. LIGHTS FOR EMERGENCY USE Storage Batteries Installed on Lake Vessels in Case Water Reaches Steameris Dynamos. To add to the horrors of a steamship collision at night, it often happens that the water reaches the dynamos. putting the lighting system out of commission, and making it impossible for the terrifled passengers to find their way about In order to prevent such an occurrence, one of the lake steamers has recently installed an emergency electric lighting system, connected with a storage battery which is placed on one of the upper decks. The batteries are charged during the day, when the regular lighting system is not in use. In this connection it is interesting to note that some of the theaters in Europe are using storage batteries to furnish the power for the lights at the exits and that a Chicago theater has Just installed a similar system. In this way a more reliable lighting system is assured, the necessity of which' was very forcibly shown In the Iroquois disaster some years ago. NEW ELECTRIC LIGHT FITTING Gives Brilliant Light Without Eye Strain by Use of New Principle of Distribution. The new Indra electric light fitting la claimed to give a brilliant light without eye strain by the use of a new principle of scientific distribution with no loss of light It is a combination of a specially designed upper reflector and a lower stepped plate or distributor, says the Popular Electricity. The upper reflector is of opal glass or It can be of aluminium, where all the light is wanted below.
n JE 'j v Light Fitting Embodying a New . rlnclple of Distribution. Tha lower plate is mad* up of parts of clear and frosted glass, most of the light being reflected through the clear glass rings while the source of light cannot be seen. Musical Safe. A London electrician has invented a safe that is unlocked by a tuning fork, the vibrations of which cause a wire within the safe to vibrate In harmony with them and operate th* mechanism electrically. Substitute for Gasoline. A prize of SIOO,OOO has been hung up by an international association o] automobile clubs for the best substitute for gasoline that is available in large quantities and cannot be monop olized. Telephones for Mines. Telephones in which conversation is transmitted from the outside of the throat have been invented for use when the wearing of an oxygen helmet in rescue work would cover a man’s mouth. Electric Room Heater. An electric room heater designed la England throws the warmed air directly toward the floor by utilizing a movable parabolic mirror above the lamp. Largest Chandeliers. The largest four-gas chandeliers ever built have been installed in an auditorium at Atlanta, each giving 10,680 candle power of light from fifteen lamps. Economical Electricity. By subjecting a certain chemical solution to ultra-violet rays from sunlight'a Danish inventor claims tc have invented an economical method for producing electricity. New Electric Sign. An electric sign which builds up words, letter by letter, at the right end and moves them across until they disappear at the left, has been invented by a Michigan man. An Improved fire alarm gives the exact location of the fira.
