In the struggle of this making the rocks have been rent, twisted aod fractured, and whole mointain Luttresses have been’ mov- ed or sheared bodily for miles in a stretch, over the “shoulders” of their predecessors of the id; others have been turned over on their heads, and row stand with what s formerly their innermost parts pro- Jecting to plain air. Such is the history of the “convulsions” of the terrestrial sur- face—ccrvulsions, however, only in name and in the ultimate grand effects that were producea, for the action itself that caused the tra: sfcrmation was a slowly operating one, requiring, perhaps, thousands of years for its full consummation. It might reasonably have been expected that the earlfer periods of the earth’s his- tory, when there was still a true crust of only moderate thickness, slowly adjusting itself to the shrinking interior, could be the periods of greatest mountain making dis- turbances, and would show the mountains of greatest elevation and magnitude; and that from that time on there would be a gradual restriction or diminution of the phenomena, with a complete cessation on the earth’s acquiring its solid or nearly solid form. Whether this has been to an extent the case or not, present facts hardiy permit a definite answer; but they do in- form us that mountain making has been most energetically carried on until a com- paratively recent period of geological time, and that the later mountains formed were of a magnitude that could casily be com- pared with those of the earliest of which geology gives record. Witness the Hima layas, which were reared aloft perhaps not more than a million years ago—possibiy, at a time much less distant; the Alps, ‘the Andes of much the same epoch. To ap- proximately the same time dates back that far-reaching compressional force which be- gan to heave up the vast plateau mass of the western United States, and raised It to a height which permitted canyons to be cut into it to depths of 9,000 feet ‘and more. Breaking Down the Crust. The earth, doubtless, still moves, and mountains are being constructed in our own days, but their slow manufacture prevents a lifetime or even a historic Waite: Like the true friend and loyal com- rade you ever were, you do right to pro- test against my burial prior to the autopsy. I am, indeed, very much alive. Not only so, I haven't been dead even a little bit. Not once. Could have been, had I wanted to be. Could be yet. But I don’t want. May be I ought to be, even now. But, as we make weekly confession—“we have left undone those things which we ought to have dore.” Possibly the rumor that I have gone dead grew out of the fact that 1 have learned to ride a bicycle.

Peopie had told me—Hars of all ages and both sexee—that I couldn't fall if, when I felt that I was falling, I would stick out ry foot. I stuck out both feet and both hands and fell on my head. T fell on one side of that diabolical wheel and then on the other; I fell 6n both sides at once; I fell on top of it and underneath it, and made “dog falls” with it. I fell be- tween the wheels. I fell behind the hind wheel and before the front one at the same time and don’t know yet how I did it. I fell end thrust both legs through the spokes of one wheel. I met a terrified man in a buggy and drove him clear off the pike through Whceler’s hedge, and I don't think he has come back yet. Every time I fell I slapped the palms of my raw, swollen, throbbing hunds on the hard “inelastic” pike, except the time I fell on my head. I fell harder and with -greater variety of landing than any man could fall unless he dropped out of a balloon and lit in a load saddle, and the erdinance against joud, | There is one amusing feature about wheel boisterous and abusive language at mgh I ran into everything in sight except the middle of the road.

I don’t see how a physician can bring up his family unless his children have some- thing to eat. But in my own case, I reserve my decis- jon.

A prominent physician, Dr. Gildea, was arrested at Colorado Springs this morn- ing for leaving his horses on the street without hitching them. When taken to court the judge ordered the doctor to ap- pear at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning to plead to the charge. Turning to the city marshal the doctor sald: “I can’t be here tomorrow.” ‘Why not?” asked the marshal. “Because I am to be married tonight and am going away,” was the reply. “All right,” said the marshal. “I'll ap- pear for you and plead guilty tomorrow. “Very well,” said the doctor; “vou do that and pay ry fine. Send the bill to my office and I will pay it on my return.” The marshal asacnted and the doctor left the court room greatly relieved. ——_—$_+o-_____ If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star. If anybody has what you wish, you will get an answer, riding that all old riders—and many new ones—must have noticed. That is the way in which a moderately proficient rider will carry on a conversation with some one be- hind him, without really knowing who that some one may be. A moderately proficient rider isn’t clever enough to turn his head to look backward, and so he talks right on in the dark, as it were. The other day a wheelman was coming up the Dodge street hill. There isn't much of a hill on Dodge street, but, slight as it is, it bothers the rew riders. Just ahead of the wheelman in question, who was riding at a leisurely rate, . mounted on a new bike.
