child is given four different figures
of rabbits and told to put one of
them in the blank space to finish
the design. Only one of the figures
carries on the movement in the de
sign. This test was given to children

Melting Furnace
Is Evolved From
Burning Mirror
STOCKHOLM up) In the artillery
museum of Stockholm there is an
ancient burning mirror of large di
menslons, formerly used by the Swed
lsh army as a means of defense
against hostile ships.
The mirror was placed in the sun
so its reflection set fire to the ves
sels approaching Sweden's shore.
A scientific adaption of the burn
ing mirror has been made by two
Swedish scientists, who constructed
a powerful melting furnace using on
elliptical mirror and a strong elec
tric arc light.
Durllng a demonstration of the
furnace before the- Society of Physi
cal Research, the Inventors obtained
heat enough to melt a metal with the
melting point of about 2.100 degrees

"Tho claims to fame of the Snake
River canyon are fully authenticated
by United States government reports.
The federal geological survey reports
a depth of 6748 feet from the top of
He Devil mountain on the Idaho side
and Bear mountain in Oregon. At one
point the vertical drop of the de
clevlty is more than a mile and a
half. This Is, however, from but one
side of the canyon. The width of
the gorge at the top average about
seven miles, as compared to ten at
most places 1 in the Grand Canyon
of the Colorado.
"All those who have visited the
canyon of the Snake say it is one of
the most awe-inspiring sights they
have ever seen and ono that is never
forgotten, t The breath-taking drops
that fade away at one's very feet are
entirely different from the perspec
tive obtained from an airplane which
pictures tiny map-like squares of the
earth's surface.. The Immensity of
the depths seems very real, indeed.
A number of years ago when the Un
ion Pacific was making a survey of
this region a number of city-bred
young men unused to the dizsy
heights of this rugged country be
came so nervous and highly strung
on the trails along the canyon that
they had to be assigned to moro pro
saic Jobs.
"Compared to the gay red and
ochre tone of tho Grand canyon of
the Colorado, the Snake river gorge
Is an epitome of somberness. The
firblddlng aspects of Its gray basalt
and black lava rocks would have de

furnished an excellent setting for

"Due to Its inaccessibility, the gorge
remains In much tho samo condition
as when It was beheld by the first
white men. Thero aro no roads near
it for several miles, and no sign
boards or hot dog stands to mar Its
pristine beauty, some or tho tew
remaining mountain sheep In the
the United Statos make their home
in the crags surrounding the area,
the deer hunting Is usually good in
the smaller canyons that run into
the larger and doeper gorge.
"Several half-hearted efforts have
been made to have the Hell's canyon
country named a national park by
the federal government, but nothing
nas ever come or tnem. aomo Deueve
that to make a .tourist center of the
gorge would spoil much of Its native
beauty. Many persons, however, are
denied seeing this natural wonder be
cause travel near it Is so difficult.
The Mazamas of Portland are making
a sldo trip to the canyon this sum
mer from their camp In tho Wallowa
mountains and It is believed that
their excursion will create a greater
Interest In Its Bcontc attractions. A
proposed highway down Little Sheen
creek from Joseph to tho Imnaha
would mako the trip by automobile
much easier. As it is now, the sight
is denied to all except those who
have the hardihood and time to make
tho present difficult trip."
