PERILOUS CLIMBING.
Scaling the Almost Vertical Wall of the
Grand Canyon.
Two brothers, Wulter and Ray Men
deuliall. had been placer mining near
the foot of the Henry mountains In
Utah, says a writer in the Montreal
Herald, and had come down the Colo
rado river in boats to the Grand can
yon. There they had a very thrilling
adventure.
Learning that the river could be fol
lowed on foot for a short distance
down the ennyon. the brothers started
out one morning to examine the nu
merous rapids that mark the entrance
and select channels by which they
might most safely descend the river.
They found the way rough, but they
persisted and covered nearly ten miles.
Then because of the difficult traveling
they determined thnt rather than re
peat their experience they would scale
the canyon wall.
They finally selected a place where
the precipice was not more than 200
feet high. Certain shoulders of rock,
moreover, seemed to afford n safe way
for climbers. For the Hrst fifty feet
the work was comparatively easy, for
the Juttlug ledges were short and nu
merous, tut the way gradually became
almost vertical, with only slender rims
and points of rock to bold to as they
climbed. But It always looked a little
easier just beyond, and for some time
the men climbed confidently and stead
ily. In following the ."tilt" of the ledges
tho brothers hud worked somewhat to
one side until they reached a narrow
shelf, on which they Btopped for a few
moments to rest and steady their
nerves. At this point the cliff was a
vertical drop of over 150 feet, and the
rocky wall above appeared to be un
scalable. There was only one possible way to
ascend. A narrow opeulng in the face
of the cliff, where a column of rock,
loosoucd by frost, und broken away
and tumbled Into the canyon's depths,
offered the only hope of progress.

men rouowed that cleft until they
reached a narrow shelf, about fifteen
inches wide, directly beneath the final
rim of the canyon. By rising on tip
toe the taller of the two men could
Just reach the top with his fingers.
The rim of the rock projected slightly
over the shelf on which the men stood.
One of the brothers found a secure
hold for his bands and bent bis knees
inward and his. shoulders outward. ,
Then the other brother carefully
worked his way up between the cliff
and his brother's side, stepped first
on the hitter's hip, then on his shoul
der, and so clambered over to the top
of the cliff, After be had got a secure
brace for one foot and a band he
reached down and clasped his brother's
hand. The brother below slowly crawl
ed and scrambled and slid upward un
til at last he succeeded in drawing
himself over the rim to a place of
safety.
Once on top the two Bank trembling

Springing the Needle Gun.
The Prussians kept the secret of the
needle gun for thirty years, and then
sprang It on the Austrian army at Sa
dowa with demoralizing effect. Indeed,
the effect of the Prussian quick firing
at that buttle was more moral than
material, for the needle gun was of
shorter range than the breech loading
rifle thcn'in use in other armies. Still,
the sudden revelation of the secret In
the war with Austria had a good deal
to do with winning the victory. The
needle gun had .been completed as an
Invention In 1S30. The Prussians
stocked their arsenals with It. serving
It out gradually und training a nucleus
of men In Its use, and yet kept the
world in ignorance for years that they
had an, entirely new arm. Manchester

Cut Out Waste Result, Beauty.
When Joseph IYnuell was In Pana
ma he stopped to admire the lock at
Pedro Miguel. "How Is it." he asked
the engineer, "that you make your
arches and buttresses as line as those
of a cathedral?" "Oh, that's done to
save concrete," wns the reply.
Economy as the basis of beauty Is
not so strange as It may seem, it wns
through elimination of the Hiiperfliious
that the loveliness as well us strength
of that Panama .structure grew, and
the same principle may be fnuiiil at the
root of every successful work wheth
er of art or Industry.- Craftsman.
