Their Pluninness Proved No Bar to Their Success aw Heart Winners. “No woman worthy of the name," wiote one of the loveliest women in London so- ciety recently, ‘‘really cares a brass farth- Ing whether the man she honors with her hand is handsome or ugly 5o long as he possesses the manly qualities of brains, physical strength, honor and so on which make powerful appeal to our sex.” And certainly history supports this unconventional view, for the many of the plainest men of whom we have any record have not only won pretty and well dowered brides, but have been able to pick and choose among the fairest, to the confusion of their more well favored rivals. Was there ever a plainer wooer, we won- der, than John Wilkes, the famous cham- plon of popular liberties and one of the most dissolute roues of his day? So ugly was Wilkes that the very children ran away shrieking at sight of him. in the streets, and yet such was the spell he cast over women that ‘“ladles of beauty and tashion vied with each other for his notice, while men of handsome exterior and all courtly graces looked enviously and im- potently on. “Give me a quarter of an hour's start,” he used to boast, “and I will win any lady's hand against the handsomest man in Eng- land.” And he could have done it too. There were few beautles, however fair or highly placed, whose hands could not have been his for the asking, and in the very early '20s he won for his wife one of the loveliest heiresses of the time, a lady who refused more than one coronet to be his bride. * ‘Beauty and the Beast' they call us,” Wilkes once sald to a friend, “and really I cannot find fault with the description.” Brougham, the if eat lord chancellor, was a man of almost repellant ugliness, witn- out a sclitary compensating grace or man- ner. Conscious of his unattractiveness he shunned ladles' soclety as he might have shunned the plague. And what was the re- sult? The ladles, the most lovely aristocratic in the land, simply mobbed the “ugly lawyer,” and were as proud to win a smile from him as an offer of a coronet from any other man. When any one asked, “Where is Brou- gham?” the invariable answer was, “Where the ladles are thickest.” And, sure enough, there he was; and the more he repelled his fair persecutors, the more they clustered round him, Another famous “lady kliller” was Jean Paul Marat, one of the leading and most infamous figures in the French revolution. “Beyond any question,” wrole a contem- porary, “M. Marat is the ugliest man in the whole of France—and not merely ugly but positively repulsive in person, habits and manners." And yet in vond rivalry rather his early the was be- physician he most popular in Paris. His consulting rooms were crowded daily by the lovellcst women in the French capital, pushing and postling to get a word with or perhaps win a smile from him. That he tyrned a deaf car and cold shoulder to (hm allurements onty stimulated thelr ardor, until their atten- tions became so embarrassing that at one time he serfously meditated flight. Even when he contracted a loathsome skin disease while hiding in the sewers of Parls, he was devotedly nursed by one of lovellest of his many admirers, whom he “marricd one fine day in the presence of the sun." 1f possible & still more repulsive man was the former private soldier who enslaved the fancy of Catherine the Great lier favor was made virtually czar of Russia. “Dreadful and repulsive,” was deseription of Eim by one who knew “He has an unwieldy figure and is swarthy of skin, coarse in feature and has lost cye. He often passes whole days in his room half Ar ed, uncombed, unwashed, biting bis nalls and ecratehing his untidy head.” And vet, Duwrand, “the cmpress is quite ero him, is proved by her passionate Rtters, in which she addresses him as ‘my lovd,” ‘my Kking' ‘my inestimable treas him. one remarkable of all infatuation for W. Hamilton, a and a half ago. preternaturally But perbaps the most these cases of woman's ugly men was that of Scotsman of a century Hamilton was not only ugly but he was te bly deformed. “His legs,” we are told, “we drawn up to his ears, his arms were twisted backward, and almost every member was out of joint." In spite of these terrible physical diaw- backs Hamilton easily outstripped all the gallants in his district in the favor of the ladies. “He might have married any of them for the asking—indeed it is said sev- eral of them actually asked him,” sayvs a chronieler. “But he remained proof against all thelr wiles until after his clghtieth birthday, and then he married a girl of 2 himself being carried to the altar on men's shoulders.”—London Tit-Bits.

We used to be much interested in the de- scriptions and flustrations in our readers and geographies of the Natural bridge of Virginia. Feople travel from all parts of the world to behold this strange natural phenomenon and enjoy the plcturesque scenery of the Appalachian mountains, and teel well paid for thelr effort. But Utah is the home of really great natural bridges Tt astonishes us with not merely one, but half a doren, any one of which surpasses | the Virginia structure In grandeur and beauty. The three remarkable bridges— the Edwin, the Carolyn and the Augusta— which were discovered in Utah several years ago, are now eclipsed by another more marvelous structure In the same state. Overlying the southeastern part of Utah are the “‘red beds'—strata of red and yel- low sandstone hundreds of feet thick. Kor the most part this formation rests in a horizontal position; but in places sections iz tipped at an angle of, forty-five de- grees and nore, and great faults have oc- cuired. Ages ago this entire reglon pushed upward until it checked cracked in zlgzag lines away from mountains that were formed by the ma- terlal from beneath heing forced upward through the superincumbent sandstone. Thus came into being the La Sals, the Abahos, the Bear's Kars, Navajo mountain and the many deep canons radlating from them. This process of elevation was a gradual one, and, as the waters from the moun- tains sought a lower level, they took their courses through these irregular cracks and seams, searching for the ocean, which was then not far away. Their rushing currents and surging eddies wore off the sharp cor- ners, sought out the soft places in the vielding sandstone, digging out deep cav- erns and recesres in the cliffs, and left| behind them a series of graceful curves and fantastic forms that amaze and delight the traveler at eve turn. As the formation was pushed upward from time to time, these rushing torrents kept on with their work of smoothing, cutting and filling un- til they have produced the deep box canons so prevalent in this section. Some- times they widen out into small valleys of rich alluvial deposits and again narrow down to a mere slit between huge masses of cliffs. was | and the Nature as a Builder. This elevation and opening of the for- mation often left a narrow point of the cliff extending outward for rods around which the stream had to make its way as it rushed onward in its course. The con- stant surging of the waters against the barrier often found a soft place in the sand- stone, where it helped to eat out a half dome-shaped cave. In a few instances, as the waters swirled around the other side of this barrier, they found a similarly soft place opposite the former and ground out a similar half dome on that side. When in the course of time the backs of these two semicircular caved came together, the waters found a shorter course through that opening and quickly enlarged the archway and smoothed off and rounded Into gracetul curves the sides of the massive buttresses. Thus a bridge was formed and became a mighty span of enduring rock whose foundations and graceful superstructure were laid by the ages. West of the Bears Ears in White Canon | and its tributary, the Armstrong, are three large bridges that have thus been carved out of the sandstone by the forces of na- ture. A short distance off from the old “Mormon trail” te Dandy crossing, on the Colorado, in Arnfstrong canon, is found the Edwin or Little bridge. It is a grace- | ful structure having a span of 194 feet and an elevation of 108 feet. The top of the bridge is thirty-five feet wide, ivhile the arch in the center is only ten feet | thick. Thus these proportions give an im- pression of lightness that is very pleasing to the eye. Round about are domes and turrets fashioned by the same forces that produced the graceful lines and curves of the bridge, and nestiing in a cave worn in the sunny side of the cliif near one end is a deserted cliff dweller's village. Passing on down Armstrong about three miles you find your way al- most blocked by a projecting cliff that towers above vou in amazing proportions. 1 On the right and on the left similar cliffs seem to be elbowing you out of the way. At the right, however, you notice that the barrier has been worn away, but this is many feet above where you now stand and plainly marks the course of a mighty stream that once forced its way among the cliffs. Continuing on down the bed of the pres- ent-day stream, now nearly dry, you find la few rods farther on that have reached the end of Armstrong canyon and stand In the shadow of a vast archway which the waters of White Canyon have cut through this barrier that just now seemed to block the course of the Arm- strong. This is the Carolyn bridge, a m: slve archway carved out of the same red sandstone formation and still showing the unfinished work of the artisan in the sharp corpers and broken lines of the arch and buttresses. Nature has not vet given the finishing touches to its work, but wind and | storm, and driving sand will continue to chisel and polish until the lines are l\l‘ | graceful curves, adding greater beauty to | this the most massive of the bridges. | The span is 186 feet wide and from the {top of the bridge to the bottom of the | | gorgo 1s 205 feet. . The romdway is forty- | [ nine feet wide and the arch 107 feet thick | in the narrowest part, giving such an 'im- | pression of massive strength and solidity | that one marvels at the mighty power 0(‘ ature'’s work | Turning to the right underneath this arch and passing up White canyon, winding in and out between lofty cliffs that send out their towers and battlements, and in the hollows of whose seamed and scarred sides are seen the abandoned homes, fortifica- tions and granarles of an anclent popula- tion, after a walk of two and a half miles you stand under the arch of another of na- ture's wonders, known as the Augusta | bridgs. 1t rises before you in graceful | proportion 222 feet gh and 261 feet between | the abutments. The majestic arch Is ex- | ceedingly regular, entirely spans the can- | yon and you can hardly realize that It has | not been designedly placed there as n | bridge. The thickness of the stone arch is sixty-five feet and the roadway is twenty- | elght feet wide The Augusta, therefore, is the queen of the White Canyon bridges. It combines [mam\rue« with gracefulness of propor- | tions to an extent that gives an altogether | pleasing and satisfying |effect. Sitting | within its shadow and gazing up at the | | mighty arch above, you wonder how many | if has taken to fashion such a m { nificent plece of work. You climb to the | l.nu above and watch the play of lunlhllll{ canyon you | | | dlans as Nonnezoshi | course. and shades upon the rich reds and light browns of the sandstone that forms its arch and buttresses and comprehend the gracefulness of its outlines and propor- tions as a whole, and you seem unable to tear yourself away from the spell of its might and beauty. You feel you would like to take up your abode in one of the ancient ciiff dwellings near by and become a child of nature again. Sargeat Not Found. By going down the San Juan river from Bluff twenty-five miles to the new oll town of Goodridge and crossing the river over the new steel bridge now nearly com- pleted, and then taking & southwesterly course of about fifty miles across the country, one may visit the recently dis- covered natural bridge known to the In- (the stone arch). This is the largest natural arch yet found and measures 308 feet in helght and 27 feet between the abutments. It extends from a bench on one side across into a cliff on the othet and hence spans the canon in which it is found. This canon, called by the Indlans Nonnezoshiboko, ex- tends from the slopes of Navajo mountain northwest and joins the Colorado river a few miies below the mouth of the San Juan. It is a deep, irregular gorge, In places o narrow that one has to walk In the stream to maké his way along its The arch Is situated about six miles dbove the mouth of the gorge in an exceedingly picturesque and beautiful part of the canon. This reglon formerly belonged to the Nav- &jo reservation, then was segregated and held open to entry for a time, and now Is included in that part of Utah recently set aside as a reservation for the Pahutes. It is seamed by deep gorges extendihg north and northwest toward the San Juan and the Colorado and broken by high cliffs and stretches of smooth, steep sand- stone, 8o that it is almost impenetrable. Few ecven of the Indians are well ac- quainted with this region. It is celebrated as the place where Hoskinimi, one of the most reserved leaders among the Navajo, successtully evaded Kit Carson in 1866, when the latter taught the Navajo such a terrible lesson; but not even Hoskinimi seems to have penetrated as far as the Nonnezoshl. The members of the Utah Archacological expedition and of the sur- veying party of the United States General Land office, who visited the bridge to- gether August 14, 1909, are evidently the first white men to have seen this greatest of nature's stone bridges. Mystic Flying Buattress. This remarkable freak in the earth's crust is hardly a bridge in the true sense of the |Prm. but is more properly an enormous flying buttress that has been chiselled out by the ages and left as a specimen of the lllnql“nrk of the Master Builder. The surface formation of this section is the same thick bed of red and vellow sand- stone found in the reglon of White Canon, and Nonnezoshl has been cut out of the cliff in the game manner that the White Canon bridges were formed. It Is a grace- ful arch looked ‘at from any position, and is cnly about twenty feet thick in the nar- rowest part. This slender arm of the cliff stretches out across the canon like a rainbow. In its shadow on the bench at one side are the remains of what was probably an an- clent fire shrine. One can casily imagine group of cliftf dwellers gathered around the sacred fire with offerings to the Sun Father and the Earth Mother. The Pa- hutes look upon it with awe, and Mr. C, A, Colville, who took & party there In No- vember, tells us that their Pahute guide, Whitehorsebiga, would not pass beneath the arch because he had forgotten ' the prayer that must be sald before doing so. On the slopes of Navajo mountain you pass two smaller arches that would each be an attraction by itself were they not overshadowed by the grander Nonnezoshi. Freaks of the Elements.

The men who are trying to educate the American public and spread broadeast the value of the new product have all kinds of arguments to offer. They point to tho fact that today 5,000,000 more persons are subsisting on nuts, seeds and fruits in India, China and the islands of the sea than in the meat eating zones. This ar- gument is used to prove the wholesomencss of the nut butter. The new rival of the cow has already made itself thoroughly at home in America. Much more so than the average American realizes.
