T11U SURAJNTON T1UBUN1S-SATURDAY, jMAY 27, 1899. 10J n NEGRO BURNING AS PRATICEDJN SOUTH A QUOSS ORIME AND ITS COM MUNAL EFFECTS. A Pen Plcturo of nn Episode Which Has Sent a Thrill of Horror Throughout Civilization Study of tho Conflict Between Law and Order and Anarchy. ITom tho Now Yotk Evening Post. Tho deliberate narrator who comes nfter the reporter and the correspond ent. and tries to sot down upon paper, without their power of rapid general ization and speed of utterance, what really taltes place In a small commun ity In the south when a negto Is burned nt tho stake, Is met at once by the hindrance of truth Itself, which at such times refuses to come Into tho domain of the utterable. Nobody has dared to describe a modern buinlnp with Its communal aspects as carefully and ac curately as the old wrlter3 have de scribed the auto da fe of centuries ago. Shame and pity run together Into re ticence In our day. Tho nineteenth cen tury sits heavy on our lip?. The 10 cital Is an Indictment of man himself The writer of this attlcle happened to be stopping In a southern town when one of these deeds of thame occurred. He was staying with a smalt family u a guest. The adults were Intelligent, God-fearing prisons of the kindliest natures, humbly active In good work, widely respected, and making that kind of a homo which one oftenest llnds In middle life, and In which some kind of sunshine seems to ladlate from tho characters themselves. All at once theio came the news of an atioclous crime committed by ti negro. The helnous ness and the ferocity of the act were such as to Indicate the demonlsm or Ithe Insanity of a rude nature, suddenly possessed by ungovernable passion. In the fumllj where I was, the clicum- stanco was guardedly alluded to as an Incidental inhibition of cilme not at ll peculiar to the region, an exhibition )f elemental saagery that constantly takes place in the eiy couteis of civil ization, and is only to be met by the accreting power ot intelligence on tho one hand and law and older on the other All this gut's without sang, nmong men and women who have been taught to lean up confidently against tho nbstiact majesty of civilization Itself. Hut I very soon peicelved that my friends and their neighbors, In all their allusions to what was an Import ant event In that community, betrayed an apprehension that I did not under stand until twenty-four hours later. "THnV'Vi: GOT HIM " While wo were at breakfast a neigh bor's wife bioke In upon us and ctied out excitedly. "They've got him they've got him," and then as suddenly disappeared. I saw her through the window 1 uniting from house to house, disheveled by the eagerness of her tid ings. The effect of the announcement in our group was peculiar and Instant. The mother of the family was staring it her husband with a frightened facial Inquiry, and ho was palpably trying to avoid her eye Suddenly he Jumped up, wnnout a word or explanation, nnu made for the door, but before lie had turned the knob his wife had leaped after him and had her ,111113 around Mm "For the love of God," she said, "stay hero with me and the bos." His reply echoed her apprehension without answering It. "They mustn't do it they mustn't tlo it," and he was gone. The woman entirely Ignored lne for the moment. Her Hist thoughts weie of her two bos, who were at the table. "Go up stalls to your room," she said peremptorily and they obeyed her as If some Inscuitablo danger had besot the household Then she went to the south windows and began pulling tho green blinds to, and hooking them, but not before I had cauehfu glimpse of cur neighbois huirying down the load. It all Hashed upon me then In an ln- . A stant. put even If It had not, I would " not hae been left In the dark very long, for piesently another neighbors wife put her head In, her face already congested with excitement, and shout ed, "Come on, they're going to burn him!" FEAR AND THRKOn. As I left that house I cairled with me an Impiesslon of a frightened worn nn barricading heiself in her own re treat, not Indeed to escape from some struggling and half-demented mls cieant, but to piotect herself and her boys fiom lui own jace. I hurried down the load In the direction of the couit house, some kind of trepidation repeating ocr and over in me the words of my friend "It must not be, It must not be" I had to pass the little white Methodist church, perched on a small knoll, and theie were three or four negro women, poor, half-ar- Wotnen get used to being ick. They come to consider back-ache, head-ache, side-ache, dneeirir, dreary, bearintr- down feeliug, hot tushes and nervous irritability as a part and parcel of their womanhood. They get used to being half dead all the time. They forget that they ever were anything else. If they don't have to go to bed and stay there they don't try to get well.

Hrerrltt, af Etif ermtn, Washington Co , l'lorida, writcn " For fira years toy wife u la Ha almost htlpteM condition, ufleriair from tcmale wctkutu. Utl 6epttmber I decided to try Or. litre' Ooldea Medical DUcov cry and lift ' FirorfU Prescription.' I m now a happy nun, whereas I thought tor four year that 1 would be Uft In tbla unfriendly world without a companion, Dr. fierce' medicines are truly worth thousand titan the money they cost and every suffering woman la the world should try User.'1 rayed creatures, pounding on tho door with their fists. One was down on her knees pi ay Ins Incoherently oth eis were huirylnrr up tho knoll. With tho medlvaevul instinct, thoy wero making ntinlght for a house of refuge. Not far beyond was n school house, set In shade-hushes, the patches of lungworth making a purple masa in the sweet spring sunlight All about the door. The school-mistress, bare headed, was running across the field, and far ahead of her were her runa way boys racing toward the court house. This incident stopped me for a moment, and I halt turned about with a qualm not unlike seasickness, and just then the distant shouts ot men, mingled with the shriller notes of tho boys, were boino to me, and the mere gtavltatlon of curiosity hurried me on. As I passed tin ouch the streets I noticed that some of the householder, a were hurriedly closing their shutters, and the places ordinarily anlmato with life looked mute and frightened. It reminded me of tho shopkeepers in Paris and Constantinople, who hasten to barricade their places of business when there comeu a. rumor of a street fracas. Hut none of these household ers apprehended any personal danger. They were In fact pulling down their domiciliary veils so as to not sec or to lie seen, Just as does the sensitive girl when her modesty or her fears give tho alaim. AN IMPENDING HORROR. In a veiy Bhort space ot time tho consciousness of an Impending horror had seized upon tho whole town. I found myself In a mob of rough men, men In butternut, gaunt, sallow, hard jawed men, and In the centro the vic tim Fiom this nucleus extended con centric ciicles of agitated people, rac ing lound In eddies, some of them saying, "It must not be," eagerly and helplessly; others shouting out, "Burn him burn him," Heie and there n pule-faced woman, swept here by some force that she could not comprehend, staring up into tho spilng sky as If God would .eutely Interfere at tho piopei moment, on account of her nerves, and put a stop to It Hut God did not inteifere. The clank of a heay ox-chain, mingled with oaths and laughter, shaiply marked each strophe of this infernal prepara tion, nnd presently tho victim came inarching at the head of a motley column, the whole town sweeping in r.t his heels. The one glance I caught of him showed him to be a brawny brute, very little removed above tho status of an animal. Rut nn agony of fear was alieady transforming him from that which had been at least a sem blance of humanity. Tho shirt-collar lound his neck was sodden with blood Mowing from a wounded face. One eye had been struck out, and the other lolled nnd gleamed with piotubeiant agony and fright, emitting a bale light as it swept over the faces of his tor mentors In dumb, wondering search for some look of human pity. During the two minutes that I saw this gha'&tly and revolting figure it was struck twice in the face by missiles thrown from the crowd, nnd both blows elicited shouts of exultation. I confess that the sight completely unmanned me. Shame and an immeasurable upwelllng reproach made me sick, and I had to hold fast to a friendly tree for a moment. DEMONIACAL. While- I clung there a mob of men, women and children swept past me that only Dante could have described. Tho human phantasmagoria was made up of afrites of terror and drunken ghouls. All the basest impulses of the insenite demon who boasts that he is made In God's Image seemed to have burst Into an emotional debauch. Pomew hero, somebody with a venerable face and white flowing hair was mak ing a feeble appeal from the tail of a cart for law and order. Between him and the surging crowds there were centuries of separation. Save a half-t-coie of pale, determined men, who fetood near him trying helplessly to lepresent society itself in this crisis of deviltiy, no one gave the slightest heed to him It was a foregone conclusion that once started, this orglo must sweep to its dhe finish, and most of these spectators wanted to have a place at the bpectacle. Men with ve hicles wero selling seats. Boys, both black and white, were calling to each other as on a holiday, and women, with their faces distorted by an ob s.cene curiosity, were lifted up on boxes and barrels that they might see the dlsijgured features of the human nnl mal as it passed. In this temporary delirium all rational processes were suspended. Man had agglomerated and transformed himself into a pack of rabid wild beasts. I did not see tho actual burning, bo cause my nerves revolted, but I fol lowed the crowd to the place. And now my pen lefuscs to repeat what I there heard. In their unleashed rage of vengeance, these men mutilated their victim before they burned him they pressed up close to the flame and gloated over the convulsive wrlthlngs and cheered his agony as if every ad ditional pang were a pleasure to them, and they hung over the embers and calcined bones as if the excitation of their miserable emotions had enchain ed them to the spot Then, when there was no more of tho poor quivering flesh to feed their passions, they hung their heads and slunk away. SARCASTIC SYMBOLS. On my return from that scene I found myself suddenly in front of the little church again. Its doors were open and tho sound of piaer came like a mur mur from the inside. But for the first time In my life the house of God, as the people called It, wore to mo an In expressible air of impotence As I turned tho corner of the street the cupola of the court house came In sight, and on it was flying tho banner of the republic. I thought it woio for the first time a monstrous Arlstophanlc irony as it lazily unfolded itself to the spring sunshine in graceful undula tions. I was sensible of a new desire to go uway somewhere and hide my genus among the kindly beasts of the field. This strange complex of devil and angel that we call a man some where in his life shudders to look him self in the face For several days nftei this mob mur der the town hung Its head down. There was no repentance In It, nor re morse; the reaction was sullen, gruff nnd defiant. Some few lrrepieslble braggarts, who had In a measuro re covered from their nendlshness, under took the easy condonement of their own fury by the alleged necessity of pro tertlng their wives and homes. One simply wondered If men who delight In torture and give way to the foulest Kratldeatlon of private vengeance are the bst protectois of women. One such experience In a lifetime is enough. The scar of it remains in the mrmory forever like an infernal tat too. The original wound reached very deep to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit and of the Joints and mar row. Some twitches ot it will come Sunday-School Lesson for lay 28, Christ Before Pilate. JOHN xvHi, 28-40. BY Secretary of OMISSIONS -John omits from his liar rutlvo Important mutter which should bo supplied between the closo of last lesson (Verso 27) and tho beginning of the pros ent lesson. After the private interview between Cataphas und Jesus, members of the Sanhedrln came together (Luke xxli: 60). Thi.ro being no formal charge, witnesses wero suborned among the Jews, but their testimony did not agree (Mark xlv! 53, GO), and was lnsufllclent to cun tlct. The utmost said by any ot them was a falso construction of Ills words concerning the temple (John II; 18). Dur ing these charges Jesus was illont At Inst, with unbecoming temper, the high priest left his scat, und, hastening for ward, stood before Chrlbt, and demanded In a peremptory way, to know whether He was tho Christ This was a now at tempt to force a confession, and Jesus responded "I am" (Mark xlv: C1-C2). This was deemed all that was necesaty Rending Ills garments Cataphus pto nnunced Him guilty of blasphemy and worthy ot death. DBFILUMCNT.-The whole company Immediately arose (f.uke xxill. 1) and led Jesus away into the 1'raetprlum and de livered Him to Pilate, the governor. Up to this point Judas had been immoveable. It has been suggested, purely a conjecture, that this dlsciplo had expected his Mas ter would in some way extricate Himself, that either by wisdom or power Ho would overcomo His adversaries and prove Ills claim. It has been thought that Judas hoped to precipitate a controversy that should result In a triumph. 13ul, certain it is, that when he saw Jesus conducted to the Roman tribunal ho repented, and offered to rcstoio the money lie had re ceived (Matt, xxvll: 3-10). Tho wlley Jews, in whoso hearts were bitterness and hate, halted at the door of the Rom an ruler, and would not enter, because if they did, they would bo unlit to eat tho passovor. What an abominable exhibi tion of hjpoctlsy (Vewti 2), ACCUSATION Tho appearance ot u man bound in the civil court, with no ac cusers present and no statement of his offense, was u novelty. Ordinarily un der huch circumstances a prisoner might be Immediately dismissed (John -v III: 11). Hut Pilate desired to conciliate his trou blesome subjects, of whoso religious prejudices and Jealousies ho was not Ig norant (Mark xv: 30). Hence, ho went forth to inquire what accusation was bi ought against Jesus (verso 2U). This shows that nothing had been reduced to writing. The haste, so unbecoming the highest ecclesiastical court, was proof of the enmltv bv which the piosecutors wero moved. To Pilate's cliatse of blasphemy upon which they had agreed, and, de pending upon tho respect which tho civil court ought to pay to the church, thy said the fact that they presented Him was hufflcient to show that Ho was a malefactor (Verso 20). In this it was implied that they had Judged tho caso and asked him to pronounce sentence on their finding. JUDGEMnNT.-Matlers had taken a very unfortunate turn, one little expected by tho leaders of tho church party. Had there been time for reflection they would crtalnly have given a different answer, lor this put them In an awkward predica ment. Pilato took advantage of their back through the years, starting the flashes of that far-away hell-light that played about those distorted faces, and then the old sickness passes ugaln across tho soul, as one hears voices from afar, in other lands, where other blacks are being torn to pieces, and the flag is flying over it all. TO USE THE STJNS' POWER. Trench Scientist's Invention to Move tho World's Machinery. Sunshine Is to bo brought to our aid In doing work, says the New York Herald, and the free and unlimited force of Old Sol is to be made to serve a d07en different purposes. By means of solar action alone it will be possi ble to sink artesian wells in the most arid desert, to get water from any depth, bring it to the Furface and make use of it as wo will. Railways can travel so the Sahara desert, and the whirr of busy manufactories wake up Its silent echoes, while steamers plow tho waves without need to trouble. about finding fuel. The apparatus that is to do all this Is the invention of M. Mouchot, pro fessor of physics at the Tours Lyceum, France, and is called by him tho solar condenser. In construction it is ex ceedingly simple, and it Is asserted that it is so easy to manipulate that (i child of 7 could learn to manage it in live minutes. It consists of a large conical shaped lellector. made of highly burnished copper, which has in its centro a boiler made of tempered glass. There is also a steam engine whoso slightest move ment sets in motion various conducting wires which lead to the reservoir where the heat is stored. The latter consists simply of a vast quantity of sand, sur rounded by a woolen covering, which Is able to hold the superfluous heat un til it is required. Other wires lead to dynamos set at work by the solar heat, concentrated and brought to a focus by the solar condenser. This conical shaped funnel once set tnclng the sun the rest goes by itself. A lever enables tho reflector to be moved backward and forward horizon tally, while a toothed rack, by setting In motion two cogs, elevates or de presses It vertically. The heat con verges upon the reflector from all di rections, and tho dynamos nie eoon merrily set going, the superfluous heat being conducted to tho non-conductor. In experiments conducted in Tours Professor Mouchot succeedeel in grill ing cutlets and cooking soup by means of his solar condenser, and, although the apparatus is not made for Franco, a" Professor Mouchot explains In I.o Monda Scientific, It is admirably suit ed to the desert sands of Africa, where the sun shines uninterruptedly through dry air. The invention of this ma chine, it is declared, will completely revolutionize the conditions of African deserts and will render habitable many other desert spots on the earth. Tho amount of power that is theor etically available In this way is almost beyond computation enough could be gotten from the deserts alone to oper ate the machinery of many worlds like this. As a matter of theoretical nnd demonstrated fact, it is possible to get enough power from tho rays of sun shine on a territory smaller than Long WsT The Best .Washing Powder iipify xJKHsBr! J. E. GILBERT, D. D., LL. D American Society of Religious Education." embarrassment, saying In substance that as they had brgun tho caso and had pio nounced the prisoner guilty, It wus not a matter for him, nnd they ought to in fllct the punlstum tit due to tho olfcr.se (Verse 1). Ho dhected them to take Jesus and deal with Him according to their law, proposing to And release from these icllglous complications,-with which ho had been much annoyed during his term of olllce. To this the priests ro piled that, v. lillo they had adjudged tho prisoner to be a mulefactor, they had no right to Inflict tho death penalty (Verso Si), thereby disclosing their full pur pose concerning Jusus uccordlng to His piedlctlon (Matt, xx: ID). They had now told nn humiliating truth. So shame fully hud they executed the law of Mosc, taking tho life ot the Innocent, that Homo found It nocessaty to de prive tlit m of power. nXAMINATlOX.-Followlng the state tnent of Jewish olllclals many voices de clurcd that Jesus was perverting the na tion and that he claimed to bo a king (Luke xxlll: 2). This was the political uspect of Chi 1st' u assertion beforo Gala phas (Luko xxli: TO), the blasphemy, as they had beforo charged, being held in nbbeyance. Of this Pilate was obliged to take notice. Returning to his scat In tho judgment hall he summoned Jesus bcfoio him und asked "Art thou the king of the Jews?" (Verso 33). Jesus met tho question with another, asking whether Pilato made tho Inquiry of his own ac cord or because ho Ind been prompted to make It (Verse 31). He must have known why Pilate asked, but He sought a basis for an unswer to the first question, that ho might be better understood. An ex planation would bo better than u mcro affirmation. Pilato frankly admitted that ho had no personal Interest in tho case, that as ho wan not a Jew ho could not bo responsible for tho charge, Hi it In fact tho chief priests, the cotintunun of Jesus, had dellveied Him and Pllite only sought to know His offone (Vei o S3). KINGDOM I ho oppoituultv was thus afforded foi u clear statement of tin case, and Jesus piorpeded to inform Pi lato In reg.ud to Himself and His mis sion To remove ull fear that He had any designs against tho Roman govern ment. Ho declared nt tho outset that His kingdom was not of this world. In proof of that fact He said that His followers would fight If Ho came to set up an earthly kingdom. As He had been de livered to the Jows, and they had not interfered, all might know that tem poral sovereignty was not sought (Verso 30). But Pilate thrust in again his old question, nnd Jesus admitted that He was a king, that He came Into the world to establish a kingdom of truth, Into which all enter upon choice, those only who lovo truth and hear Him (Verse 37). In this recital before an earthly luler Jesus explains ns He does nowhere elso the grand design of Ills appearance and work among men. Pilato appeared to be confused somewhat with such a lofty conception and ended tho interview by asking "What Is truth?" (Verso 3S). ACQUITTAL. Tho words and manner of Jesus made a very favorable impres Island to operate all the machlneiy of tho woild. If, as Erlccson demonstrated, heat enough to make one horse power may be developed from each square yard when tho sun's rays fall perpendicu larly through a dry atmosphere, from one square mile enough may bo col lected to make as many horse poweis as there nrc yards in a square mile, or 3,083,COO. At the outside, the city of London does not use more than 800, 000 horse power, and this would oper ate all its electric and horse cars, mo tor carriages, wagons and carts, run all its steam engines, tugs and ferry boats on the river, and all other ma chinery of cveiy kind. GLACIERS IN MONTANA. Not Necessary to Go to Alaska for Moving Ice Masses. For some jears I havo been interested In tho geography of a small section of tho Rooky mountains, winch, until re cently, was part of tho Blackfeet reser vation. In northwestern Montana. This section lies for tho most part east of the continental dlvldo and between tho in ternational boundary on the north and tho Greath Northern laihoad on tho south. Tho portion of It which I know best is included in the watershed of the St. Mary's river and its tributaries. In l&'jl I took to tho head of tho St. Mary's river the ilrst party that had ever visited It, bo fur as known, and in 1605 accom panied to tho same point the government commission which afterward purchased from the Blackfeet Indians tho rough mountain land which formed tho western lioitlon of the reservation of that tribe. IUforo that I had mado a sketch map of the region, which 13 tho basU of nil tho maps of it that havo been made or pub lished In ISO" I mado a hasty trip to tho head of the river and climbed Mount Jack si n. tho highest peak In that region. Last July (1E03) I again went to tho head o tfho river and climbed tho Blackfeet mountain, another lofty peak, somewhat less accessible than Mount Jackson. On both trips I was accompanied by my friend, J. B. Monroe. Theso last trips havo enabled mo defi nitely to locato two points about whose relations I havo never until now been quite certain. One is the Pumpelly gla cier, discovered by Professor Paphael Pumpelly, who, I believe, in 18S3, with a small party, which included the late W. A, Stiles, crossed from tho Flathead country to the plains by way of Ihe Marias, or, as It Is now called, the Cut Bank pass. Tim great mass of ice, which Is seen bv every traveler going through the Cut Bank pass, rise3 to the htlgnt of sevei al hundred feet above tho face of a lofty cliff, over which portions of the glacier are constantly falling with tre mendous reports, which are heard for a long distance. Prom the top of the Blackfoot mountain the whole country leading up to the Cut Bank pass can be seen, and immediate ly below it to the southeast lies the Pumpelly glacier, readily identified, not only by its position with relation to the alley, but ulso by the peaks and rocks In its neighborhood, It thus appears that tho Pumpelly glacier, as I have long sup. posed ws tho case, Is part of the south ern flow of tho great ice-cap which cov ers almost tho whole of the Blackfoot mountain. The Blackfoot glacier, which stretches away in a northeasterly direc tion from the peak of the Blackfoot mountain, though perhaps varying In ex tent somewhat with the season, was es timated last July to be six or Beven miles long, and in some places between thieo and four miles wide. From the peak of the Blackfoot mountain tho icefield flows also in a northerly direction, meeting an other which runs down between Mount Kalnah and Mount Jackson, while from Mount Jackson a number of smaller gla ciers flow down to timber lino. A Httla to tho west ot south of the Blackfoot mountains, and lying in a great bend of Mud creek tributary to the Flathead which entirely cuts It off from the main range, lies Mount James, one of the three highest peaks In this Immediate section. Seen from the east, it Is shaped .. sion upoji tho mind of Pilate, who came forth to the people declaring that he found in Him no fault (Verse 3.1). Hut tho clamor of tho mob was raised as serting vehemently against Ills mlnlsttj In Judca and Galilee. This lust refer ence, not mentioned by John, prompted Pilato to send Jesus to Herod, the tetrarch of Galileo, who was then in Je rusalem (Lukn xxlll: 7), but Herod soon returned the prisoner. Pilato then came foith to tho pcoplo declaring tho inno cence of Jesus and offering us a paci ficatory measure, according to his cus tom, to release Him (Verso 35). This suggestion was made because the multi tude, remembering Pilate's habit ot par don on feast occasions, had clamored for Uarabbus (Mark xv: 7-3), ono who had made Insurrection and had committed murder. Deeming that if Jesus had of fended ngntnst tho government aa the chief priests claimed, He wus the lesser offender, Pllnto propsed to substitute Him for the other, us one who would do less harm It set at liberty A very wise suggestion! PRBFERMDNT.-Thls proposal was greeted with tumultuous expressions ol disapproval. "Not this man, but Barnb bas," they cried (Verso 40). Pilato hud been inuflenced by his wife, who, bicaum of a dream, advised her husband to have nothing to do with tho condemnation of Jesus (Matt, xxvll: 19), and on that ue count ho attempted to reason with tin people. Repeatedly ho offered tho alter native (Luko xxlll: 20), but each time the reply was tho some. "Away with this man," "relcaso unto us Harnnbas." ' t have found no cause of death In him' said Pilate, but thoy drowned him worls shoutlng "Crucify him " "Why, what evil hath ho done?" was tho pleading re joinder. ot thoy cried out exceedingly "Let him bo cruclllcd" (Matt, xxvll. 23) It was n tiling placo for a heathen ruler Pilato finally !cldi'd to tho clamor of tho mob, nnd vainly attempting to re lieve himself of blamo (Matt, xxvll: 21) gave sentence of death, delivering tho In nocent into the hands of officers to suffer by tho cross RHTUOSPnCT.-Tho backward view lesis ilrst upon tho chief priests as the Instigate! 3 and abettors of a diabolical plot against the Innocent. With vile superstition and hypocritical observance of a national feast thoy refused to entei into tho hall of judgment, but they did not hesitate In the most spiteful man ner to clamor for tho death of Jesus In so doing they wero uncivil to the magistrate, whom they compelled to yield to their demands. At tlrst ho was -disposed to deal Justly, and adhered to Ihe iuIo established by Valerius Publlcoln that "no man shall be condemned unheard." Condescending to the pio pie ho frequently sought to know tho ground of their arraignment but, though convinced of tho prls oner's Innocence ho was overborne nnd made a party to an Infamous crime Hut Jesus, despised, slandered, 111-trca ed, maintained His composure, frankl.v confessed Himself a king, explained His mission, emphasized tho aluo of truth, vindicated Himself, and gained th. favor of tho cne beforo whom Ho stood That bcene In Pilate's hall added now lus tre to tho Namel like tho square-faced, peaked end of a haystack, and nt a distance appears dlf flcult or Impossible of ascent. Its south ern and western faces may be mor practicable than thoso on tho north am east may appear. From tho top of Black foot mountain tho level shows Moun Jackson to be tho highest of all then mountains, Mount James the next, while Blockfoot is tho thlul. But tho dlt ference In height aro slight. A fow miles northwest of Mount JacU son and ljlng on tho west side of th. rango Is a llttlo basin named Avalaneln basin by L. It. Sperry, of Oberlin, Ohio and on tho mountain overlooking the Mr. Sperry tells us, aro extcnslvo snow fields and a glacier. From tho summl of Blackfoot mountain it appears that tl. avalanche basin lies nearly south of Mount Plepan of my map, and south west of Mount Reynolds, I understam' that Mr. Sperry who was, of course, un awaro that tho mountain had beci earlier named, has called Mount ReynoU' Mattel horn, from tho slender as seei from tho southwest finger of rock which forms Its peak. Mount Reynolds is ii tho continental divide, although most of the recent maps wrongfully place it cast of tho divide. If the locations of tho Pumpelly glacier and of Avalanche basin, with regard to definite and well known points In the continental divide, aro thus established the matter is ono of some Interest to stu dents of this section of tho northern Rocky mountains, Blnce hitherto, so far as I am aware, tho relations of tho cast and west sides of tho ranges have not been known between tho head of Belli river and the Cut Bank pass. Lying nearlv to tho south of Mount Jackson and between It and the Black foot mountain is a deep basin, which is the head of Harrison creek, flowing down toward tho Flathead lake. This basin which I have called Plnehot's basin, Is occupied by a largo glacier, which Is fed by many smaller ones flowing down the steep sides of Mounts Jackson, Kalnah and Blackfoot. What tho extent of this glacier may be I do not know, but lying In this deep basin and almost completely surrounded by high mountains, tho area of tho moving ice must bo considerable. flfocNjrocsJsaNJCocvscsan I Does Coffee A rvto -vtrii-Vt NYou? 1 not, drink Grain.O mado from 2 2 9 2 pure Rrains.
