THE PLAINS OF YUHA
SOME OF THE CURIOSITIES OF THE
COLORADO DESERT.
GrnTea Each of Which Telia a Story
of a Traffedr of Heat, Thirst and
Death Odd Stonea and Sheila That
Strew the Barren Region.
There is a section of the Colorado
desert where nature has left some re
markable records. She has visited the
region alternately with fire and water
and has left it with neither. It is the
most desolate, wild, barren, forbidding
part of the desert, says the Los Ange
les Times, and it is shunned i. ice by
man and beast. That there is good
and sufficient reason for avoiding this
locality is attested by numbers of
graves, nameless for the most part,
found in the terrible region.
These graves are simple affairs,
merely mounds of earth with a border
of stoues about each and a pile of
rocks two or three feet high at the
head. Each tells the story of a
tragedy of heat, thirst and death.
Those items are about all that is ever
known of the stories of those who
perish. Their mummified bodies or
bleached bones are found long after
the struggle is over, and the tinder, re
specting the memory of the unknown,
scoops a hole in the earth, lays the
ghastly relic within and piles up the
only monument available in that wild
region.
The plain now lies nearly a hundred
feet below the level of the sea, and the
rocks of the plain and the bases of the
mountains are washed and eroded in a
wonderful maimer. Mingling witu me
hmut stones and volcanic debris are
Ax-ks worn by the waves and shaped
Into hundreds of fantastic forms. There
are many acres of these stone curiosi
ties, and certain sections of the held
seem devoted to certain shapes aud
figures.
For instance, one passes through a
region whL-h he at once names the cab
bage patch, for it presents the appear
ance of a field of those vegetables
which have turned to stone. The waves
have worn the rocks into round bowl
ders about the size of the vegetable
whieh they so much resemble and have
cut Into the globes, laminating them in
perfect imitation of the leafy layers of
the garden vegetable.
Another locality is devoted almost ex
clusively to dinner plates. Thousands
of rounded, thiu disks are scattered
over the plain or are piled scores deep
in singular piles, each piece shaped ex
actly like the crockery which adorns
our tables and quite as thiu and sym
metrical. Another section of this truly wonder
ful region is given almost wholly to
dumbbells. These vary in size from
pieces weighing one or two pounds up
to those seemingly calculated for exer
cising the muscles of a giant and
weighing thirty or forty pounds each.
In almost every instance these natural
dumbbells are well balanced, the balls
at either end of the connecting piece
being of the same size and weight.
There Is In this plain ftihrsenal also.
While guns and swords and bayonets
and powder were not there to be found,
there are thousands of cannon balls
varying in she from two aud three Inch
balls to those fit for the big thirteen
Inch guns of modern warfare. And all
! are of stone, all formed in nature s
I workshop.
There are other objects innumerable.
There are stone roses, stone" lilies, stone
tulips, stone leaves, stone birds, stone
nnlmalH, stone quoits, stone ornaments
, , , , , . . .
In varied and unique designs, stone
canes In fact, almost everything con-
eeivable In nature or art Imitated in
stone on the plain of Yuha.
In one portion of Yuha rise two hills
or small mountains. One might ml 1
take them in the distance for ancient j
craters, but when he approaches the j
monuments to nn ancient life the rec
ord h of species now extinct. They are
shell mountains, great beds of prehis
toric bivalves which were left stranded
when that ancient sea swept back from
uiw irgjoii aim itri i a ui uuu uenuiair
ISJld. i
One of the mountains, the large
one, is composed wholly of large rough
shells, much larger, but less elongated,
than the shells of the modern oyster,
which in some respects they so much
resemble to lead to the suspicion
that they are the remains of the ances
tors of our much prized bivalve.
The lesser hill is composed of tiny
shells of a prehistoric type of brachlo
poda. Like the larger shells, they are
found except on the surface in an un
disturbed state, both valves of nearly
every shell being found Mi position.
Although the mollusk dwellers of these
shells vanished several centuries ago,
so perfect are the shells one almost ex
pects when he opens the valve of the
shell to find the living creature within.

Millions- of years had passed.
Birds had succeeded to the suprema

ture still exist, I am told. In the lnac-

Breaking- Kmmm For a Living.
A correspondent of a contemporary
who has been searching for the most
monotonous method of earning a living
decides In favor of that of cracking
eggs. "I wet a man who said he was
a biscuit manufacturer on a large scale
and was rather Inclined to boast about
the number of eggs continental eggs
which his firm bought In the course of
a year. Now, It seems that to avoid
calamity five eggs are broken Into a
bowl at a time before being added to
the common stock. There are men, he
told me, who do nothing else but crack
eggs. They become so expert that a
man can dispose of 1,000 an hour, or
10,000 a day." London Star.
Discouraged.
"Mamma," remarked Dottle, "If I get
married when I grow up will I have a
husband like papa?"
"I suppose so, dear," said mamma.
"An' if I don't get married I'll be a
old maid, like Cousin Charlotte, won't
I?"
"I guess you will, pet. Why?"
"Oh, nothin' only I wish I was a
boy!" Cleveland Leader.

"You cannot keep me down," shout

They Didn't Uhtc Time.
A short time ago some men were
engaged In putting up telegraph poles
on some land belonging to an old farm
er who disliked seeing his wheat
trampled down, according to the vera
cious Register of Great Bend, Kan.
The men produced a paper by which
they said they had leave to put the
poles where they pleased. The old
farmer went back and turned a large

er, seeing them running from the field,
shouted at the top of his voice: "Show
him the paper! Show him the paper!"

apples from four pears or sir horses

Don't make fun of the man with a
hobby. It may be that that very hobby
will be the means of the world getting
something of great good. All people
that have contributed to the sum of
human knowledge bad a hobby. The
man who ranks as an inventor had a
hobby once; the minister who gets up
In his pulpit has his bobby; the man
who sells you goods has the same. In
fact, those that do anything at all have
a hobby. You may call it by some otb-
