(Written Specially For The Bulletin.) Not so very long ago, T climbed to the highest summit of the mountain rénge which overhangs my valleys, and spent a couple of hours study- ing from that vantage the topography of the region which I had thought I Enew like a book. During the_course of that two hours, I was treated to several surprises and one real astonishment. The valley into which I looked Jies at an ele- vation of somewhere from 700 to 800 feet ‘above the sea level. The peak on which I stood rises to 2,002 feet sboye sea level. I was, therefore, 1,200 to 1.300 feet above the yalley, and could look down upon it. TAttle’ hills which, when one was among them, shut off the vision in all L*hcfionu were, from my new out- leveled and flattened so that they mot only effered no obstruction to_yision, but were, indeed, somewhat difticult to make out. In one sense, it was almost like looking at a map. But the one thing which impressed me most was that I had always there- lore been . holding - wrong . ideas gbotit the shape and direction ‘of things' in that valley. For instance: Rights below me unrolled- the . thin white ribbon of a road a road I have fgvelled probably an average of twice 3 week for twenty-five years| It fs & main road; a state road, “The eide road on which I live debouches upon it a mile from my house at what I have always supposed 10 1 right angle.

T'm nof going to suggest any on the summit, lay a well-known lake of some 300 acres. ~ Roads run along one end and one side of it. Another side is thickly planted with bunga- lows and summer cottages. I have driven those roads and in"among those bungalows on the jake scores of times. I have helped draw ice from its froz- en surface, many winters. And I had always mapped it in fny mind as a sort of double-failed letter O, fair- Iy round but for two Insignificant quirks which projected out from it. Imagine my surprise to discover that it was really more the shape of a dumb-bell, with one long and crooked silver fraying off at one end. » As | have intimated, my home is in a valley. To one side rises the the range on whose highest summit I stood. On the other side rises an- other mountain steeper and .more densely wooded and, fromn the valley floor, seeming just about as. high as its running mhte. Once more 1 was shown how deceptive are appearances.

The rest of us used to try to get him to tell us how we could do it; to explain the trick, whatever it was.

Your, land -don't none of it lie like mine, nor it ain't the same sore. What brings me a good crop might bring you @ biri full of pig nub- ins.” Uncle Tke was a wise old guy in more ways than one.
