According to the Wallapals the Crund canyon nai tnade elngle-hund-nl, after a certain flood, by their cult us hero, l'aek-i-tba-a-wl, who was armed with a large Hint knife anil a bit stick. Once upon a time the world was covered o deep with water that nobody knew what to do until Pock-l-tha-a-wi took the Inltlutlve, The knife he thrust deep Imo the heart of the earth, hammering it in wild the big stick and moving It strenuously back and forth until the canyon was formed, which drew all ihe wafer from off the earth Into the Sunset sea. Another legend says that there was a great chief who mourned the death of his wife and would uot be comfort ed until Tuywoata, one of the Indian gnrts, came to him and told him his wife wua In a happier land, and offered to take liim there that he might see for himself If, mum his return, he would j (vr.se to inouin. The great chief prom ised. Then Tuywoata made a trail through the mountain. The trail was the can yon gorge of the Colorado. Through It the god led the chief, nnd when they had returned the deity exacted from the chief a promise that he would tell no one of tlie joys of yftit land. lest, through discontent with this world, tbey should desire to go to heaven. Then he rolled a river Into the gorge so broad and raging that It would en-.-ulf any that might attempt to enter thereby. Detroit .News.

The Irish are fond of boasting of the Immunity of tiieir Island from snakes. It Is true that Ireland does not pos sess any snakes, hut she Is by no means the only country so blessed. There are no snakes in Sew Zealand, ami few poisonous insects. New Zea land has u spider which is rather poi sonous, nnd, of course. It has Us mos quitoes, but on the whole it is remark ably free from venomous reptiles and Insects. Canada for the greater part Is free from snakes, especially those of the poisonous variety, and this la more strange because the rattlesnake la quite common In the northers part of the Cniteil States. Hera and there In the runges of British Columbia a few stray rattlers may be found, but as a rule the bonier line between the two countries marks the northernmost limit f this reptile. Patagonia U another snakelcss coun try. There are no snakes in Iceland, whirs Japan and Tasmania are also peaces w here these reptile are rare.

' In Kenya Colony, The El Stolo, a tribe of "fish-men who Inhabit the desert wastes border ing Lake Kudolf, In Kenya Colony, Africa, are undoubtedly the most amazing race of human beings. This tribe represents the only known specimens of semi-amphibious people, and it is a curious faet that any tribesman dies It he Is kept from water for about three hours. As a rule they drink every hour during the day, for even as hour and a half without water causes cracking and bleeding of the lips. Tlie Kl Molo tribesmen spend their days swimming In the waters of Lake Kudolf, and fishing from frail rafts constructed of palm branches. Fish Is almost their only diet, and they have no opportunity of varying their n.unu unless they are fortuuate enough to spear a hlppopwauius. ' Tbe water of Lake lludolf Is un- ' drlukable to any one but the F.1 Molo, ' for It contains a large quantity of soda and has as objectionable taste. The proportion of soda In the lake In- ' creases yearly, and It is believed to be th fact that baa caused the "flsh men to become a deformed race. j SCARLET DEEP-SEA SHRIMPS Specimens Fished Up In the Med iterranean at a Depth of Mora Than a Mile. A shrimp, a magnificent creature a foot long, with feelers a yard In length, was among the specimens fished up In the Jlediterranean at a depth of more than a mile. In researches con ducted by the lute prin.-e of Monaco. The 'prince spent much of Ills spare time dredging In deep waters for strange creatures which live Is the luk black, icy-cold abysses of the sea. The Mediterranean creature Is of a gorgeous red color, and has feathered feet. It Is pleasant to eat, and large enough that one shrimp Is sufficient for a good meal for a hungry man. But tbe oddest part about it la the color. Since In the depths at which It lives the darkness la equal to that of the deepest mine. It Is difficult to Imagine why it should possess this scarlet hue. TUMPING POWDER Now is the time to blast those Stumps and offers the quickest and cheap est means of doing this work. Let us figure with you when ready to do your clearing. SPECIFY AND INSIST UPON STUMPING POWDERS J. A. DENN POWDER COMPANY Distributors for Southern Oregon - How Lifeboat Was Invented. One day a man named Woutdhave was out walking when be was asked by as old woman to help her lift a can of water which she bad tilled by aieans of a broken wooden bowl. The bowl was floating on the sur face of the water, and as he talked to the woman, Wouldhove turned It over with his finger. It Immediately righted Itself. Amnsed by its antics he repeated the performance; then It struck him that he had made a won derful discovery. The result of his chttnee nieetfcig was the self-rlghtlrlg lifeboat, which was designed by blm on the lines of the broken bowl. What he bad discovered was that anything made of floating material and skaped like one-half of a basin could gnat only with Its convex sur face downwards. A boat made on these lines cannot remain upside down for more than an Instant when It Is turned over by a beuvy sea. From Wool to Suit In aDay. In numerous Industries there have been conspicuous eiamples of what can be accomplices' In she way of speed when human energy a well as mechanical appliances are put to the test against time. For example, an English baronet once wagered that he would dine at seven o'clock In a suit of clothes nutt from wool which hail been growfsg on the sheep's back the sajDS day. Operations began at Ire o'clock In Ihe morning witk the waste ing of sufficient sheep to provide the wool. From a neighboring factory the wool was returned as cloth late In the afternoon, but early enough to perm a tailor and hi assistants mmpleti the stilt by seven o'clock, la plenty of time for tbe haronel to don It prepara tory to sitting dowa to his evening meal. Plan to Destroy the Tsetse Fly. I Dummy donkeys with sticky lets art large numbers of tsetse files, which ; when carry the germs of the African sleep- j -Ing sickness, in a publication of thr di-iiartment of agriculture t soutr Africa. K. fl. Harris found that hes dangerous Insects were attracted to tin legs of his donkey. He built a dummy animal with wooden legs covered Hr old bugs, but the Hies apparently dit not discriminate between the natura and nrtillclnl ilrnhs. He suggests con structlon of many such dummies eov ered with sticky material to destroy the Insects by the wholesale.
