Tho Great Fountain geyser, In the YcllowBtono National park, Ilex n mllo nnd n half southeast of tho Fountain geyser.

In Its Riirfnce nro numerous pools, molded nnd ornamented In n manner qulto nii iipproachnble, at lenst on so lnrgo n Bcale, In nny other part of the park. In tho center of the pedestal, where the monument ought to stand, Is a lnrgo irregular pool of great depth, full of hot water, forming to nil appear nnccs a lovely, quiescent spring. At times of eruption tho contents of this spring nro hurled bodily upward to a height sometimes reaching 100 feet The torrent of water which fol lows tho prodlgous downpourlng upon the fnco of tho pedestnl flows nwny In nil directions orer the whlto geyscrlto plain.

How th Procen Known to Oeotoglits i "Faulting" Generate. It Is a veil known fact that thn ma jority of tho severest earthquake! nro produced by movements nnd readjust ments of tho outer sholl of tho enrth. The process, known to geologists ns faulting, Is ns follows: Owing to various mibtcrrancan causes tho solid crust of the earth Is put un der stress. Tho stresses keep growing greater until finally they reach tho breaking point of tho rocks. These yield HUtldenly nnd move over nnother along thu lino of frncturo until tlm strain Is relieved. Thin brenklng of the rocks souictlriicH nlong lines hun dreds of miles In length and tho move ment of thu broken parts over one mi- other net up Jars or vibration which traveling outward In nil directions through tho rocks coustltulo nn earth quake. Tho severity of thu shock dcpcudH upon tho character nnd extent of tho break, tho ninount of movement and tho dlstnncu of tho point from tho placo of origin of tho disturbance. KurthquakcH also occur frequently In connection with volcanic eruptions, but these nro likely to bo morn local In character nnd, on tho whole, less sevoro than those duo to faulting. Ituvluw of ltovluwM. Paget of Qeologloal History That Na ture Haa Destroyed. New details nro continually being ndded by geologist to the known his tory of the enrth, Including the duvet opmcut Of plants nnd animal. Ilow over, that history, which Is recorded In tho rocks, Is still fragmentary, like n badly mutilated book. One of the great defects In tho record In tho Atlantic and gulf coastal plain regions of tills fiwtxv Is tho nbseuco of tho later part of tho cretneeous nnd tho early part of tho eocene chapters perhaps eight to ten millions years ago. ,i report by Uio geological Burvcy discusses this missing part of the record and shows that the break must cover n very long porlod of time. It Is known that at that tlmo the continents wcro nt least ns largo nn nnd probably larger than they nro now, nnd tho oceans were nccordlngty small er. Any rocks Hint wcro then formed In tho sen seem to have been weather ed and wnshed away. Hundreds of kinds of plants nnd animals that lived before and hundreds that lived nftei this great period aro known, but uoi ouo which lived during thu period. Htrango to say, fuw If any of tho spe cies which existed before tho unknown period lived through It It Is ltko a play In which tho places of one net remnln tho snmo ns In tho preceding but thu characters nro nil now, nnd yet many of tiio new play ers roscmblo tho old ones so much time onu Is compelled to ndmlt that they are elote relatives. In each of thu HtiitcM bordering tho Atlantic ocean nro lay ers of rock wiilcli wero formed be- foro nnd after tho period whosu record Is missing. In theso layers nro entomb' ed sen shells of many kinds, but ap parently not onu species lived through from cretaceous to coccuo time. 10 QOUL MATERIAL HAS ENTERED THE DANK VAULTS OF THE NATION.

On tho rugged coast of Washington by thu C'opalls Hands (hero Is a tower from which (he Indlnns watch for sen otter. They nro very eager after that game, for thu hide of onu of thoso crea tures Is worth all thu way from $fitw to $'.'.000. Two young Indians were watching nu day when they saw n sen otter off In the surf. Two shots from their titles killed thu otter, and then they rushed down to their surf boat Thu sen was heavy, mid when they wcro out hoiiiu distance from the shoru their Unit broku In two over ii comber, nnd tho men wero thrown Into thu sen. Onu of the Indlnns drifted nshoro on n plecu of wreckngu. Tho other, al though a Kpleudld swimmer, was drowned. Tho iiowh soon spread to thu reservation, nnd thu Indians from far and near cauio to thu beach mid stood on thu sands, silently beckoning to tho sea to glvu up Its dead. It wits a solemn, Impressive sight tho stalwart, rugged, copper colored men and women standing at thu verge of thu sea foam asking the sea by the motion of their hands to send thu body awlioro. I'or three days they waited nnd beckoned, nnd then a dark object was seen drifting Into shallow water .Sometimes It was burled completely from view by thu heavy surf; then It was seen again a little nearer, and ho (ho body of thu (lend Indian cn'uie nshoro nt thu call of tils tribesmen. - Youth's Companion. On the Sea. From nil antiquity nnd In nil ages men bavu genu down to thu sen In ships nnd plowed thu main. There Is a fascination nbout thu ocean that nuver grows old, ud tho terrors that encom- pavH thu waste of waters seem but to add to Its attractions. Perhaps this arises from thu fact that thu ocean covers thu only freu hind on thu globe. Tho sailor on lib humble bnrk bus an equal right of wuy with thu mighty steamship; ho pays no rent nnd calls no mnu muster. Once ho touches laud he must bow to thu law of King This or Queen That, but on thu high hens ho can roam without let or hindrance nnd owes alleglanco to no ruler but nature. The sailor lends n hard and perilous life and has the single boon of free dom to compensate for risk and priva tion. Ht. Louis G lobe-Democrat Not ningt.

The First Orent Dank. Thu llrst gristt bank In thu world was tho bank of Venice, established In 1 irT whan the queen city of thu Adrl title was thu head of thu commerce ot the western world. At that tlmo the great current of thu trade between Ku ropu and Asia panned through tho 1'er shin gulf and thu Ited sea to Alexan etc tit.

Venice was it soil of auto cratic republic, founded and support ed by Its merchants, who weru famed throughout thu world for their wealth and reliability, They founded their Iki nU, which was guaranteed by the government and was held In high cred It In nil thu great cities on tho routes of trade. Happlneii. Money Mill not procure happiness, but happiness will help procure money. Happiness makes every tank n pleasure and every worker optimistic, and an optimistic worker at a pleasant task eau perform It in no way but well. Happiness Is not only Its own re ward, but it Is an Irresistible magnet which Is forever drawing unexpected rewards. And happiness eau know no evil; evil happiness Is n contradiction of terms. Happiness is a religion lu Itself. Ho who has bupptuoes has Jumped Just over the very goul of life. Judge, Ono of tho greatest opportunities fn tho business llfo of tho nation lies in practical co-operation of tho coun try banks with tho farmer In building agrlculturo nnd tho adventure is laden with greater possibilities than nny forward movement now boforo tho American public. A fow bankora havo loaned monoy to farmers at a low rate of Intoreat, nnd outlines without compotiBatlon, to buy blooded livestock, build liion, fortlllzo tho land, Bocuro bettor seed, hold their products for n botetr map ket prlco, etc. Tho banker lu con tributing toward improving tho grade of livestock; tho quality of tho seed nnd tho fertility of tho soil, plantB In tho agricultural llfo ot tho community a fountain of profit, that, llko Tenny son's brook, runs on nnd on forever. Community Progress a Dank Asiet. Tho tlmo woh when money loaned on such a bails would sovcrcly test thn sanity ot tho banker; such trans actions would pain tho directors llko a blow In tho fnco. A cnshlur who would dnro to cast bread upon waturu that did not rotum buttered Bldo up In tlmo for annual dividends would havo to glvo way to a mora capable man. This docs not necessarily mean that tho bankers aro gutting any batter or that thu milk of human klnduesss is being Imbibed more freely by our finan ciers. It Indicates that the bankers aro getting wiser, becoming more ublu tin nnclers nnd thu banking Industry niuro competent. Thu vision of tho builder Is crowding out tho spirit of tho pnv, n broker. A light hns been turned on a now world of Investment and no usurer over recolvcd ns largo returns on tho Investment ns theso prigrc: slvo bankurs, who made loans I J uplift Industry. Tho bankers have always boon liberal city builders, but they aro now building agrlculturo. A Dollar With a Soul. It Is refreshing In this strenuous commercial llfo to find bo many dot lars with souls. When n dollar Is ap proached to perform a task that does not directly yield tho highest rate of Interest, wo usually hear tho runtlu of tho eagle's wings ns It soars up ward; when n dollar is requested tn return nt tho option of tho borrower, It usually appeals to tho Goddess of Liberty for its contrncturnl rights; when n dollnr Is asked to expand lu volume to suit tho requlremouta of Industry, It usually talks solemnly of Its redeemer, but soul material hns entered Into tho vaults of our banks nnd rnte, tlmo nnd volumo havo u new basis of reckoning In ho far as thn ability or somo of tho banker permit them to co-operate In promot ing thu business of fanning. God Almighty' Noblemen, Theso bankers nro God Almighty's noblemen. Heaven lout earth the spirit of theso men and tho angel will help them roll in placo thu cornerstones of empires. They aro not philanthropists,1 thoy nro wlso bankers, Thu spirit of tho builder hits given them u now vision, and wisdom has visited upon them busi ness foresight. Tho cncklo of tho hen, tho low of kino nnd thu rustle of growing crops echo In every bank vault In tho nation nnd tho shrewd banker known that ho can moro effectively Increase iila deposits by putting blue blood lu tho veins of livestock; quality In tho yield ot tho soil nnd value into agricultural products, than by bus! noss handshakes, overdrafts mid gaudy calendars. Taking tho community Into part nership with tho bank, opening up n ledger account with progress, making thrift nnd enterprise stockholders and thu prosperity of tho country nn asset to tho bank, put behind It stability far more desirable than n letterhead hearing tho names of all thu distinguished citizens of tho com munlty. Thu bank is tho financial power house of tho community and blessed is tho locultty that has an up tn-dnto bunker, I DRESS YOUR BOY So that he may Command the Re spect of those whom he meets, and of his play mates.
