Discovery of a New Valley.
The discoveries of new territory are
comparatively few In the United
States, owing to the great activity of
the geological survey, as well as ex
plorers and mountain climbers. There
seems, however, to be an unennquered
valley in Siskiyou county, California,
“Hidden Valley.” G. W. Pellepreau,
the discoverer of the valley, said he
had glimpsed it from a mountain
peak with the aid of a high-powered
binoculars. From all reports be be
lieved the valley had never been en
tered. Some men believe It abounds
in game and that mineral deposits are
likely to be found. Walls of sharp
penks surround the valley, standing
like a barricade against man’s ad
vance. Once over the walls, Pelle
preau predicts, scaling ropes and lad
ders will be necessary to get beyond
the chasms. He thinks*the valley con
tains 300 acres.—Scientific American.
No man is as important as his wife
would like to think lie is.

VISIT OF THE PASSION PLAY.
TO BRING the famous Passion ;
players of Oberammorgau to i
America would bo a dubious un
dertaking. Especially would it be so
financially, if the players did not put
on the Passion play, which attracts
every decade so many pilgrims to
the little Bavarian village. It Is
hardly likely that the American pub
lic would turn out in any numbers to
v«ew the spectacle of the simple
village folk engaged In their daily
wood carving, their usual occupation
between the decennial presentations
of the Passion play. Tet American
promoters are reported to be about
to embark upon such an enterprise.
But even If the Passion play were
to be enacted here, the thing would
still be dubious. To be sure this is
a commercial age, when humanity Is
bowed down before the great god
Success, whose name, as has been
said, is usually spelled with a capi
tal S with two parallel bars rampant.
But surely something ought to be
held sacred from the contaminating
touch of commercialism even today.
Something should be left free of the
dollar sign.
The Oberammergau Passion play
is the fulfillment of a vow made to
God a long time ago by villagers
imbued with a great faith in Provi
dence. In the midst of the harsh
sophistication of the modern world,
the PasBion play has been a refresh
ing survival of a time when life was
less complicated, when man felt
more keenly the wonders of the uni
verse and his kinship with the Great
Father. To ma*jy it has been a
source of spiritual reawakening—for
the display ef devotion was genuine.
If the Passion players should be
brought to this country and exhi
bited to the populace for a few
pieces of silver, the idea behind the
Oberammergau festival would sur
vive about as long as a plucked rose.
An Unusual Interview.
From the Boston Poet.
Mrs. Fisher, who* says her real name
Is Dorothy Frances Canfield, asked to
ten about herself, said:
"A large oresr. Dot's see. My people
came to America In ltll aod settled tn
Connecticut. In 3T44 certain of my an
cestors came over the Indian trails from
Connecticut to Vermont. See that
spring out there T’
She pointed to a tiny fountain that
bubbled over the front lawn of her Ar
lington home.
"Did you drink r' she asked the re
porter. Then you noticed perhaps that
the water Is soft. That la unusual about
here. Well., my great-great-great an
cestress dismounted from her horse on
the trail there 157 years ago and founu
that the water was soft. 'Her# Is where
we stop.' she announced.” "And.” con
tinued Mrs. Fisher, "the Canfield family
has been here ever since. My father was
James Hulme Canfield, an educator, a
college professor and president of sev
eral state universities."
"What is Mr. Fisher's profession?"
"He just lives here and tends to
things. AVe have a saw mill, you know,
and cut timber here—no small timber;
Mr. Fisher Is very strict about that. Mr.
Fisher Is of an old Philadelphia family
of doctors and lawyers. His great
grandfather founded the Dogan library
there."
"Is Mr. Fisher a doctor or a lawyer?”
"No. Pie was captain in France with
the American ambulance field service.
He was captain, toe of th* last football
team at Columbia university. Now he
Is interested In lumber lands and re
foresting. AVe have put out about 50.000
young pines on the mountain side here.’’
"Does he write, too?”
"He is the remarkable critic of what
I write,” she answered.
A Pioneer.
From the Kansas City Star.
A lecturer on vegetarianism in a vil
lage remarked: "It is to the pioneers
of big movements that the credit tend
honor belong, not to the followers," and
then he exhorted his hearers to become
pioneers. At the end of the lecture he
was approached by an elderly woman
who thanked him for speaking so kindly
of her son William. i
"But I think you have made a mis- !
take,’’ replied the lecturer. "I don't
know your son, and 1 ain not aware 1
that I mentioned him tonight.”
"Yes, yea,” she said. "AVllliam is
one of the pioneers of the big move
ments."
“Oh, I see.” replied the lecturer. I
"What is your son, madam?”
“What is William?*' said the proud
mother in a tone of surprise, “why, he
walks' In front of a steam roller, hold
ing a red flag.”

Krona the summit of the great pyra
mid there is a grand view southward,
down a straggling, but imposing, line
of pyramids rising dimly as far as
one can see on the southern horizon.
Each pyramid was a royal tomb, and
for us each such tomb means that a
'king lived, ruled and died. The line
is over 60 miles long, and the oldest
pyramids represent the first great age
of Egyptian civilization after the land
was united under one king. We may
call it the pyrr.mld ago, and it lasted
from 3000 to 2500 B. C.—James H.

CHINESE NATURAL
BORN BOOTLEGGERS
Citizens of the Orient Didn’t
Know Meaning of Word
Few Months Ago.
BY CLARENCE DUBOSE,
United Press Staff Correspondent.
Tokyo.—You've got to hand it to
the Chinese bootleggers. A few
months ago they didn’t even know
what the word meant. Now they
can give cards and spades to Amer
ican artists engaged in that gentle
and diverting industry and beat ’em
at their own game.
“They seem to be natural born to
it! Sort of a gift, like being able to
pitch curves or knowing when to ,
draw to two pair," a trans-P&ciflc .
skipper commented to me recently. \
“They’re sure wonders—these China
men. I bet they could bootleg Bronx
cocktails into the middle of the
Sahara desert!”
Bootlegging meant nothing in the
young lives of the “China boys” on
the Pacific ships until the bone dry
order was applied to American flag
boats not long ago. Overnight the
“China boys” graduated and post
graduated and took B. L. D. degrees.
(That, of course means Doctor of
Bootlegging. If you have that degree
you can get a job on any trans-Pa
cific passenger boat these days.)
China-boy bootleggers now special
ize in supplying thirsty passengers
on American boats with any little
thing—mixed or straight—their fancy
may suggest. The China-boys have
two requisites foi* bootlegging suc
cess: 1, a marvelous sense of pro
portion, and 2, an amazing aptitude
for secreting things. They know ex
actly how much stuff to get aboard
for a round trip on the Pacific—and,
what Is more important, they know
exactly where and how to hide it
while the ship is in an American
port.
BOILER HERMIT REPORTS
EX-KAISERJHIS COUSIN
Gainesville, Fla., (U. P.)—Living in
an abandoned locomotive boiler near
here is an aged hermit, who declares
himself to be a cousin of the exiled
kaiser of Germany. The hermit, who
answers to the name of Mueller, says
that he left Germany in 1881. He
says that he and his cousin, the kaiser,
could never get along as the “Wil
helm was too harsh and fond of
war.”
Subsisting on roots and game that
he kMls himself, the self asserted
cousin of the German war lord de
clares his boiler home is the “finest
in the land.”
“I wouldn't trade it for the White
House. Cyclones can’t pick it up nor
thieves break in,” Mueller said.
TWO N. Y. GIRLS ARE
TREED BY BIG BEAR

Oswego, N. Y.—Treed by a bear.
Such was the experience of Miss
Eunice Duane, of this city, at East

beechnuts.
Some time later their father George
Duane, was alarmed by cries coming
from the strip of woodland, and he
ran to the scene to find his two
daughters climbing trees while a big
black bear, frightened by Duane’s ap
proach, scampered away.
