tatives In secret session and the' fact
known that the operators have pre
pared a reply to the miners rejecting
.their demands, a general strike uf
eastern anthracite coal miners on Ap

The mine operators in their reply will
explain why they refuse the' demands.
Some of them admit . privately tlity
should grant the Increase.
'The miners' representatives say they
are not authorized to make conces

IttVERSJNTHE AIR
Curious Play of the Winds In the
Yosemite Valley.
EBB AND FLOW WITH THE SUN

Combs at Bridal1 Veil Falla.
Did you know there are ulr falls In
Hie atmosphere just as real and ap
parent ns -'are the 'waterfalls you have
8ii dtteu viewed with admiration and
delight because nf their natural beau
ty? In the rained Yosemite valley the
most Interesting feature is, to the sci
entist perhaps. Ita winds.
Tho winds there are seldom more
than light zephyrs moody and capri
cious to the ordinary tourist, but when
rightly understood one of the wonders
of tho valley. These Interesting facts
nro told by Professor l' li. Mat thus of
the United States geological survey tu
tho Sierra Club Bullet'n. ' ;
In uo other place in toe entire world
perhaps are the air currents more sys
tematic and regular time in the Yosem
ite valley, he says. In the first place,
tbo sun naturally heats the ground
more - rapidly than it d ies the air.
Thus every hillside basking In the sun
becomes a heat radiator and gradually
warms the air above It, so that the nlr,
becoming lighter., begins tu tlse.
But under these conditions the nlr
does not rise vertically because the nlr
directly over it Is still cool and Is press
ing downward. Therefore up the sides
of the warm slope the heated air makes
Its way. That is why the tourist mak
ing his way up tho mountain slope
with the sun on his back tlnds his owu
dust traveling upward with hliu in a
Choking cloud.
. But on coming down the same trail,
when th? face of the slope Is Id the
SjindoWj jjie, dust ever descends .yjttj

Highland (Scotland) ca.'.Ic, a breed
almost extinct in the Pacific north
west, were seen in La Grande yester
day afternoon and greaty admired by
a few who were fu'tunr.ls er.nugh to
know of the presence the cattle in
the local yards. There were five of
these rare cattle In shipment going
from Succer Creek, Idaho, to the Port-
and Live Stock show and all who saw
them agree that it will be worth the
price of .a Portland Journey to see
t'icm on exhibit. . ,,'.-.'

Just us soou us the suu loaves the
slope of the mountain the earth be
gins to lose its heat by radiation and
In a very short time is reully cooler
than the; nlr. The layer of nlr next
the face of the hillside chills by con
tact with the earth and, becoming
heavier as It condenses, begins. to press
down along the slope. Thus there are
normally the warm up draft oo tbe
sunny slope and the cold down drnft
on the side In the shadow, lu a wind
less region like the Yosemite this rule
may be depended upon at almost any
lime. ., ,- .w :',: "
But . in the Yosemite, .with Its bold
cliff topography, these upward and
dowuwurd air currents ure somewhat
Interrupted. On every sunuy slope
bold ciifts 'rente shadows, and conse
quently there are downward ulr cur
rents or local breezes dally at regular
hours ns the shadows come and go.
Hinder Point Is one place in particu
lar In which Professor Mntthes says
this shadowy effect on the ulr cur
renlB may readily be tested by canting
small bits of paper into the nir.'i As
the 'afternoon wears on and the shad
ows In the vulley gather the cold draft
In the hills pours downward, forming
tbe valley like n great river and flow
ing on to the plains below. Every side
canyon and valley sends Its re-enforcements,
like the tributaries of a great
river, to this general ,air current flow
ing ouwnrd to the plain.
With the return of the morning suu
the earth at 'the tops of the hills Is
warmed and the downward current lu
tbe air Is suspended. Tbe up draft soon
begins as the sun shines into the val
leys. Tbe nlr currents are so regular
that they may almost lie timed.
Kew realize, says the author of the
paper, that It is ou these reversing air
currents that oue of the chief attrac
tions nt the Yosemite depends. Mir
ror lake, to he viewed at its best, must
be seen In the early dawu. wheu the
reflections are most perfect.
The lake Is stillest ami Its surface
most mirror-like when tho cold uiglit
curreuts have ceased and tbe uprising
day currents of ulr have not yet be
gun. Yet unless one is pnucttlnl he
will miss the chief beauty of the place,
for this perfect stillness is as brief as
the turn of the tide.
In tbe evening and during theulght,
wheu ibe down drnft of air from the
mouutalu sides la strong, tbo stream
of cool nlr pressing down the alope
plunges over cliffs. Just as water Is

Quesr Impression tha Emperor Made
; Upon Countess Potocka.
We waited rather long, and It must
be acknowledged our curiosity was not
unmlngled with fright. Of a sudden
the silence was broken by a swift ru
mor, tbe wings of the. .door opened
noisily, nud M. de Talleyrand advanc
ed, with a loud and intelligible voice
Uttering tbe uingle word that made the
world tremble. "The emperor." Imme
diately Napoleon made his appearance
and halted for a minute ns if to be
admired. 'j' ..'
So many portraits exist of this astou
ishiug man. his history has been so
much written about, all tbo stories told
by the children of his old soldiers will
live so long, that the generations' to
come will know hUii almost as well as
ourselves. But what, will be dltUcult
to grasp is how deep uud unexpected
tho impression was which those felt
who saw him for the first time.
As for me, I experienced a sort of
stupor, a mute surprise, like that
which seizes one nt the aspect of a
prodigy. It seemed to me that he wore
an aureole. Tbe ouly thought 1 could
frame wheu I recovered from this first
shock was that such a being could not
possibly die; that such a miliar organ
ization, such a stupendous toulus,
Bhould .. never perish. I luwardly
awarded him double immortality.
