Grandeur
Mount
Avalancho Lily Slope,
(Prepared by t!i Natlontl Olographic So
cletv, WaelilnBton, D. C )
As the famous .Upancsc mountain,
Fuji, dominates Its section of Japan,
so the great white cone of Mount
Rainier domlpates tho Paclllc North
west, a landmark and beauty-spot from
the populous cities of I'tigct sound,
from the prairies of custom Washing
ton, and evon on cleur days from far
at sea. It Is the glacier mountain
without a peer in the United States,
and Is estimated by one authority to
radiate a greater volume and area of
lco tli tin any other one mountain in
the world. Its area of glacial surface
Is estlmnted at 52,000 ncres.
To tho stranger in Puget sound It
appears to be less than ten miles away,
but on further Inquiry the tourist
learns that It Is more than forty miles
distant In n direct line from sea-level
at Puget sound, from where mountain
survey measurements are made and nil
Rainier park travel starts.
Studying It more In detail, ho begins
to comprehend Its size and rugged
anatomy. But the scene Is beginning
to change; the sun is low in the west;
tho lower end of tho glaciers, white
a few minutes ago, become n graded
tint of rose pink ; the blue has changed
to a purple, but the summit Is still
white, for It Is 7,000 feet higher than
tho snow-line nnd projects up Into the
white rays of tho setting sun. Tho
red rays are slowly moving up the
mountain; the summit has changed
to rose hue, the last coloring of day,
which It holds for some minutes after
tho sun has left the landscape, nnd
then changes back again, finally, from
warm to tho cold purple afterglow
that generally precedes a summer
night on Puget sound.
Its Cap a Weather Sign.
Viewing Mount Rainier after the
weather has been fair for some days,
It is common to see the summit
covered with n cloud. This enp Is very
interesting nnd Is always looked at
for a forecast of a change of weather,
especially when It forms Immediately
In contact with the summit, hugging
down closely like an Inverted saucer.
When tho cap forms suddenly, like
the sudden drop of u barometer, the
change of weather Is not long coming.
The cap docs not always touch the
mountain top, but Is occasionally some
dlstanco above und holds its shape
during n whole day or more.
From n far dlstanco this cap appears
to be a still cloud with no motion, but
In studying It from close range one
will observe thnt at the west edge tho
cap develops rupldly, dissolving to In
visible condition nt tho cust edge.
Evidently It Is a stationed point of
condensation, but not a stationed ac
cumulation of moisture.
The crater of Rainier, concerning
which many questions arc nsked, Is
not dangerous, but rather a life-preserver,
and hns been so used during
storm. There nro uo openings within
the crater largo enough to bo danger
ous. The whole circle of 1,000 feet
dlnmeter is filled with fallen black lava
and covered with n thick pack of snow
tho year round, except nt the edges
near tho crater's rim. The main crater
was the mountain's principal vent of
eruption, but thero Is one other plnco
culled tho llttlo crater; It and a few
other spots near tho top are also
warm.
Tho first parties to the summit al
ways nuuia tho crater their Inn, where
they stayed at night, warmed by tho
steam that Issues from the small
fissures Just within tho crater's rim;
but of late tho plan has been to reach
the summit from Camp of tho Clouds
(elevation, D.fiOO), starting about 1 a.
m., reaching tho summit Just after
noon, and, after some hours' rest, re
turning to camp tho same evening.
Hot Steam of the Crater.
In making n trip to tho mountain's
summit, August, 1011, the writer took
along a thermometer to ascertain the
stenm temperature, and fomid tho
steam of the main crater in places to
bo about ir0 degrees F. Thero are
other places where the heat is above
boiling point.
Tho stenin Is evidently snow water
that seeps down nnd conies in con
tact with the Intomnl heat, returning In
vapor through tlio same general open
Ings. It seems to contnln no gns or
fumes, and Is of feeblo force nnd little
volume, soon disappearing In tho high,
dry atmosphere. It Is not seen from
a far dlstanco and Is not a factor In
producing tho cloud cap that forms on
the summit previous to storm.

Rainier National Park.
Publications stating (hat smoke and
fire come from this volcano during
seismic disturbance have no founda
tion of fact, for It Is evident that no
clvllled man eyor witnessed such a
sight, and that volcanic action In this
section Is a phenomenon of the long
past. People have been misled In
seeing a cloud that appears like smoke.
Since 1870, when the first ascent wa.s
made, hundreds of people have stood
on the summit of our great white
"Templed Hill." A climb to the sum
mlt and return tho snmo day Is a long,
wearisome undertaking, slightly
dangerous, especially at one place
rounding the upper part of Gibraltar
rock, from which there Is an occasional
shower of small pieces of rock that
thaw looso from tho snow patches
.above. So far as Is known, there has
been but one life lost In climbing tho
mountain, due to natural cause; tho
few others were lost owing to reck
lessness and lack of Judgment. Tho
crevasses aro very bad If ono gets
into thtttn, but they have generally
been cleverly avoided.
Studying tho crevasses and tho
actinic blue coloring they reflect will
repay any ono who has a day to devoto
to the climb. Thu higher up, the moro
curious are the carvings of the snow
surfaces, which would Indicate thnt
tho winds nro the chief factor In mak
ing the peculiar whlttllngs.
This great pile of lava, hcapefl to
nn elevation of nearly 15,000 feet, Is
characterized by several features de
serving of special Individual study.
Tho geologist, geographer, botanist,
poet, painter, landscape gardener and
specialist all find n wealth of interest
throughout this 1)2-1 square miles of
reserve, besides much ndjncent ter
ritory comparatively unexplored.
8peclal Features of Interest.
To a woods-dweller tho timber Is a
matter of course, but to Those who
have not been amid largo forests It Is
ono of tho very special features of
tho reserve and an educator in forestry
of tho best kind. From tho denso
forests of the valleys and on the lower
slopes, where trees grow to a height of
over J?00 feet, somo with a diameter of
12 feet, the forester enn trace tho
diminution of growth as the ascent Is
made to tho scrubby brush-Ilko trees
at timber-lino, struggling, ns it were,
for their existence.
Tho unvlsltcd portions of tho Rnlnler
park without doubt contain, yet un
seen, such features as hot and cold
springs, falls, small lakcs.Mind botani
cal rarities. High on tho ridges nnd
slopes of the neglected corners of tho
park the wild goats make theW home.
Sometimes they have been seen In
numbers of 80 or more together. Tho
door, which nro more abundant thnn
any other of tho Inrgo game, are oc
casionally seen frtun along the govern
ment road. The black and brown bear
nro also seen, nnd at rare Intervals
tho stealthy cougar or puma.
At between 5,000 and 8,000 feet eleva
tion tho botanist finds Rainier park his
paradise, wherein thero have already
been found over 250 varieties of plant
life, a dozen or more kinds belonging
to this region nlone. Tho majority
of the flowers aro of light, tint, but
there nro a liberal quantity of blue,
red, nnd yellow, so deep and pure of
color that artificial pigments fall to
Imitate them. Tho distribution of
several species of heather Is a tech
nical touch of finish in tho evergreen,
tipped In summer with clusters of
small bolls In colors purple, pink, yel
low, nnd white.
Tho first white man to visit tho
mountain wns Dr. William F. Tolme, of
the Hudson's Bay Company, from Fort
Nlsqually, who In 18.1.1 closely ap
proached somo of Its glaciers. Gen. A.
V. Kautz, in 1857 made an attack on
tho mountain, but It has nover been
affirmed that ho reached tho true sum
mit of the highest peak.
Tho Rainier park wns not much
visited until 1000. In tho yenrs slnco
then thousands of tourists liavo
registered nt tho park entranco ench
season. Slnco tho dnys of enrly travel
by pony and stogo have given placo
to railway and auto, tho tourist can
mako tho Journey from Seattle or
Tncoma to tho mountain snow-llue In
a fow hours' drive.

Lovesick Youth Denied the Soft
Embraces of Death.
Feminine Fickleness Too Much for
Slxteen-Year-Old Llewellyn Scott,
but Doctors Save Him.
There are uo disappointments, no
Joys, no svtrrows and no tragedlei
as great as those of youth. For In
all man's life, the days of tho 'teens
are the most real, the most impressive
nnd the funniest. With this as a
prologue, let tho curtain rise on tho
crowning life tragedy of Llewellyn
Scott, sixteen years old, and romantic.
In Llewellyn's life was a mystery
woman. She is a mystery to thu po
lice, for the lad' refused to divulge her
name. She is a mystery to Llewellyn
because well, all women are mys
teries anyhow. But Llewellyn loved.
He loved with the undying devotion
of Ids j ears, and while ho loved well,
perhaps It was not wisely.
Just a few brief days ago, with Joy
ous heart, he saw the girl, as was his
custom. The two talked of patties,
long trousers, school, nnd summer va
cations, as men and women of such
jears are apt to do. And at Die end
of the conversation tho girl gavo tho
boy a note to give to nnother boy, thu
usual hated rival.
Llewellyn was doubtful. Ho want
ed to please the girl, but enough was
enough. He decided to read the letter.
Ho did. Then, with a great deslru to
bo of service to the girl and save her
from an undoubtedly terrible end, ho
decided to destroy tho letter, as ho
did not consider it a proper note for
n girl of fifteen yenrs old to write to
u boy.
For n fow hours the glamor and
glory of heroism surged In Llewellyn's
heart. Ho pictured himself as a knight
of old standing with lifted sword over
the prostrate body of "the hated rival"
while that Individual begged for
mercy; nnd the girl came and threw
her arms about him nnd pleaded for
the life of the unworthy one. Finally
ho yielded and the "villain" slunk
away Into oblivion.
But this dream was halted by nn
ever-growing fear that all was not
well. In tho first place, tho "villain"
was bigger than Llewellyn, which
sometimes affects even tho stoutest
heart. As days passed, tho feeling
that possessed Llewellyn grew until it
bad reached that vital spot at the
knees which causes them to shako nnd
quiver unnecessarily. Then came tho
decision.
From this point on LIcwelyln's story
Is questioned somewhat by the physi
cian nt tho receiving hospital along
certain technical lines. Llewellyn says
that ho could stand It no longer and
took n quantity of what ho believed to
bo poison, Intending to shift this mor
tal coll. 'The doctors say that what lio
probably took was not whnt he
thought it was. Anyway, ho was
found lying In an undignified position
where ho thought ho wns about to
take a pair of wings and lly to nnother
world.
He wns taken to tho hospital,
where the doctors mado him as good
as new. Then he went to tils home.
Now he Is worried by tho fenr that
somo time, somehow, tlio nowspnpers
will find out about It. Los Angelee
Times.
Queer Boats Sail the Tigris.
By fur the most Interesting craft
on the upper Tigris nre tho "qufn"
and tho "kclak," this latter coming
from up-river nnd descending to Bng
dud. The "qufn," as Been In Bngdad
today, Is a circular tub made of Inter
woven osiers, covered outside with
pitch. Tho largo ones nre nu much ns
six feet ucross nnd four or five feet
deep. They are propelled by two men,
who Btund close together and, lean
ing over the edge, dip their paddles
deep Into tho water and sweep them
away from ench other.
In summer these coracles come
flouting down to the city, spinning
slowly round and round, piled high
with fat, Juicy melons, their gun
wales almost awash. But they are
steady enough boats, tint easily cap
sized. The "kelak," on tho other
hand, is really a raft mndo up of large
numbers of Inflated pigskins lashed
together and decked over with timber
nnd brushwood. These float down
streum with the current, often carry
ing tlrewood, cut In tlio mountnlns at
the source of- the Tigris, to Bagdad.

No Fences In China.
No great demand exists In China for
barbed wire,. Chinese farm holdings
nro very small, and no nttempt Is ever
made to divide them off or sepnrato
them from their neighbors' by any form
of fence. Boundary stones are ull thnt
mark the dividing line between ono
farm and nnother, nnd n wire fence does
not at nil fulfill tho Chinese Idea of a
wall, to which they are most partial. In
respect to the grazing of sheep and
cattle, this Is all done on hillsides, and
vacant lands, and tho flocks are
always under tho care of children and
old men and women, as In all eastern
countries. '
