California. and that office brought the in- | terests of the 1wo teachers in close con- tact. Then in '98 Davidson was offered and accepted the chair of geography in the University of California, and so closer | still became tie friendship of the two | great oid men, who were thereby thrown constantly together. “He was a supreme man, made to im- part knowledge. As Agasriz said ‘I am a teacher,” =0 may it be said of Le Conte, ‘He was made to impart knowledge, not only to the young, but to the old as well’' ”’ That is the tribute Davidson paid to his old friend last evening. In these few words the sclentist summed up his regard and admiration for his old friend. *He was a model for young men,” con- tinued Professor Davidson. “He had only one failing—he never wanted to say ‘no.’ He was never known to say evil of any man. He was slways kind, and no matter how much evil was reported of a man, he would still belleve there must be some good streak in him. “His life was pure; his ideas were pure. He was thoroughly religious, and while believing in evoiution he tried to reconcile scientific evolution with the doctrines of the Bible.” There was something infinitely tender &nd touching in the way Davidson spoke of his old friend. He had countiess anec- dotes to tell of the dead man’s full and useful life, and they were all anecdotes that proved his universal kindness and chivalrous nature. ““He Joved all young people,” said Da- vidson, “and he delighted to be in their company and to be able to help them. Many & time he has told me how some reat bli fellow, whose name and even fm he forgotten, had stopped him and, recalling tc his memory who he was, had told him of his life and his ambi- tions ang his aims, ‘just as though I were his father,” Joe used to say. The confi- dence of his pupils was one of the dearest things in life to him. “Kind as he was in thought and to oth- ers,” continued Davidson, *“just so kind were they to him. 1 have never known a ;fslltary person to say one word against o His home life was a beautiful one. His wife and he were devoted to one another and his children adored him." According to Professor Davidson, Le Conte had for come little while been fail- ing fast physically.. His weak physical condition, however, in no way affected his splendid mind. “In mind he was as young as the young- est,” said Davidson. “He could not real- ize that he was no longer a young man. The trip to the valley was too hard for him. Jie never should have gone.” - MRS. LE CONTE NOT TOLD OF HER HUSBAND'S DEATH Is Lying Ill at Home—Daughter Prostrated by News—Son Is Camping. BERKELEY, July 6.—The news of the death of Professor Le Conte has not been broken to Mrs. Le Conte, who was taken sick and prevented from accompanying her husband into the Yosemite last week, and who is still very ill. Miss Caroline Le Conte has been told of her father's death and is prostrated by the news. Joseph N. Le Conte, who is on his ‘hon- eymoon in the Sierras, cannot be reached’ for five days. He is camping with his wife several days’ journey from Millwood, Fresno County. Another daughter, Mrs. Furman, lives in Milledgeville, Ga. No funeral arrangements have been made as yet; as communication between here and the Yosemite has been broken during the afternoon.

Year.after year he visited the Yo- semite and in the spirit of research and a deep underlying reverence for nature in its most beautiful manifestations he would spend his vacation in this locality. He knew every stone and tree of the val- l&y. His last vacation was passed .among hem. Professor Joseph N. Le Conte had lent the luster of his great name to the Uni- versity of California and to the whole Pa- cific Coast for the last thirty-two years. His fame was worldwide and all science and letters everywhere claimed proprie- torship in him, The distinguished naturalist and philos- opker responded to a call from the nas- cent State University, then located in Oakland, in 1868, at the age of 46 yeats. With him came his brother, John Le Conte, the great physicist and chemist, at a later period president of the univer- sity. i The Father a Scientist. The Le Contes were Georgians by birth. Their father, Louis Le Conte, settled in Liberty County in 1510. He there mar- rled Anne Quaterman, a young lady of Puritan descent. On the plantation in Liberty County four sons and three daughters were born to the couple. Jo- seph was born February 26, 1823. His mother died when he was but a boy, and the father devoted himself to the rearing | of the family of children. Professor Le Conte was wont to speak of_ his father with the most passionate affection. Louis Le Conte, though burdened with the con- duct of a large estate, was devoted to an avotation much more congenial to his taste—that of the study of natural sclence. He possessed on his plantation the finest botanical garden-in America ard had a chemical laboratory fitted u in his house. He imbued his sons witl his own love of nature, and to the train- B0 AMHUAINDTAMZUATURSUL AN TUATUL 1A LU0 ANJUAIA TUNTUATUMFAAFhUJUA ULTRMJAA Thh40h LM UMD A MDD TUTAMZUMTULTN DU RO CUAC 5 LD ZAOTAED TV UL A A P DLOMFAA U AR 0N PROFESSOR JOSEPH LE CONTE DIES IN YOSEMITE VALLEY ing of those early years is due the amaz- ing scope, of the eclentific research of the brothers John and Joseph in later years. Joseph Le Conte was graduated from the University of Georgia in 1865. Among his classinates he was known both as a poet and naturalist, though his specialty was medicine. For five years he practiced as a physi- cian in Macon, Ga. Dr. Le Conte was married in January, 1847, to Caroline E., daughter of Alfred M. Nisbet of Georgia. They had five chil- dren, of whom four are grown up and sur- vive him. % N Spell of Agassiz Upon Him. In 1851 the professor was drawn by the great name of Agassiz to visit Harvard College, and once within the spell of that famous teacher he abandoned all further thought of life as a practitioner and de- voted himself to the stuay of natural his- tory. Later in the same year he accepted a call to the chair of natural science in Oglethorpe University, and in 182 be- came professor of geology and natural hiscory in his alma mater, where he lec- tured with increasing remown until 185, when he was called to the headship of the same department in the South Carolina College at Columbia, an institution whose strong literary atmosphere possessed a great attraction for him. At the outbreak of the civil war the college was disbanded. Dr. Le Conte entered the service of the Confederate Government as chemical ex- pert, retaining that position till the close of the war. In 1866 he assisted in reorganizing the college at Columbia, remaining there two years till the call from California opened the way to the position which he has ever since filled with such eminent success. Dr. Le Conte's place in scholarship and letters is unique. For profundity of re- search, coupled with luminous power of exposition, he was without a peer in the University of: California and had few equals in the history of thought. Learned societies of all nationalities heaped hon- ors upon him and he was sought as a lec- turer at the greatest European centers of education when abroad. Known as “Professor Joe.” To the affectionate students at Berke- ley he Las been kndbwn for thirty years as ‘“Professor Joe.” His charming per- sonality and infectious enthusiasm. for his high calling endeared him to all who were privileged to come within the sphere of_his_influence. Dr. Le Cdnte was a singularly fruitful and fascinating thinker along lines of speculative and popular philosophy, no less than in the technique of his own spe- clalties. He was the author of several volumes, ‘which remain classics in the universities of both hemispheres. ‘The latest up-to-date styles. “ Silk-lined jacket With vel- He published his textbook on the “Ele. vet collar Fand the latest ments of Geology” in 1878. “The Mutual seven-gore flounce skirt.

Since his coming to the 'L'ni\'ersltyog{ peare: California Dr. Le Conte had held the | of professor of geology and natural his- i tory, a chair which embraced zoology and even botany. In the last few years he had given way to specialists in the several departments, Professor Lawson as- Suming the work in geology, Professor Ritter in zoology and Professor Setchell in_botany. [ ¢ Professor T Conte’s work had branched into other lines. He was a literary man, a Shakespearean scholar and a philoso- pher. Professor Howison of the chair in hilosophy once said: “However well finown Dr. Le Conte will be in future as a scientist, he will be even better known as a philosopher.” He took an able part several years ngo in the famous discussion before the Berkeley Philosophical Union. Professor Josiah Royce of Harvard led the debate and Professors Howison, Mezes and Le Conte followed in a brilliant discussion In 1891 and 1592 he took a leave of ab- sence from the university and attended conventions in the Fast and in Europe. He was elected president of the American Soclety for the Advancement of Science and one of the vice presidents of the In- ternational Geological Conference. He went on_a second trip in 1899 and visited many European friends, attendin; conventions and conferences in Englan and France. His Pacific Coast connections were nu- merous, including important positions in the California Academy of Sciences and the Geological Society of America. Dr. Le Conte’s work recently had been more in philosophical lines—in general- izing geology. His last contribution of importance to geological science was a paper prepared for the Geological Society of America, in which he recognized the Slerran epoch in the Quaternary, naming | that long pre-glacial period in that age. His recent college work consisted in giv- ing special courses along lines in which he was most interested. After giving up his_heavy lecture work in geology and zoology some six years ago, he devoted himself to lecturing on evolution, binocu- lar visicn, genesis of ore deposits, theo- ries of nountain building and quaternary geology. o, Atk His last public appearances were on gl L March 25, the university charter day.

LE CONTE’S DESCRIPTION- OF VALLEY WHERE HE DIED Marvels of Yosemite as They Im- pressed Scientist Upon His First Visit. OAKLAND, July 6.—Professor Joseph Le Conte made his first trip to the Yo- semite Valley in 1570. He became an en- thusiast upon that wonderland, and it seems almost fate that he should have met his death in a place that he loved so well. Despite his great age Professor Le Conte always took all of the trails and made trips that younger men would not attemot. After his return from his first trip into the Yosemite Valley Professor Le Conte wrote up his journal and it was printed for private distribution in 1875, five years after the party went into the valiey. This book contains many little bits that show the characier of the great scholar and supphies some description of the very place where he died that will have partic- ular interest under the circumstances. This work contains his first impressions | of the place he last gazed upon. This is the preface, to the work, de- scribing how the party started: About a week before the end of tRe first sion of the University of California several | young men, students of the university, invited me to join them in a camping party for the Yosemite and the high Slerras. The party was to go in regular pioneer style, cooking their own provisions and sleepinz under the open sky whenever a convenient place was found; each man was {o bestride his own horse, carry his own bedding behind his saddle, and his clothing, with excention of one change of un- on his back. This was, it is true, a little rougher and harder than anything I had ever undertaken, but still I was fond of ad- venture and longed to enjoy the glories of Yosemite and the beauties of the Sierras, and, more than all, to study mountain structure and mountain_sculpture as exhibited there on a magnificent scale. I therefore at once accepted the offer. The party was forthwith organized, ten in number. Mr. Hawkins, who understood something of mountain life, was commissioned %o buy the necessary supplies and the general outfit, such as camp utensils, pack horses and pack saddles. and have all In readiness that we might start the very first day after com- mencement. To while away my idle moments in camp, and to preserve some souvenir of the party, of the Incidents and of the scemery, I jotted down, from time to time, these wayside notes. ¥ JOSEPH LE CONTE, The book opens with a little description of the start and later a description of the entire party. The deserlgtlon of the author by himself shows the kindly, hu- morous nature of the dead scientist. reads: [ July 21, 1870. Amid many kind and cheering words, mingled with tender regrets; many encouragements, mingled with earnest entreaties to take care of myself, and to keep out of draughts and 'damp While sleeping on the bare ground in the open air; many half suppressed tears, concealed be- neath bright smiles, I left my home and dear ones this morning. Surely I must have a heroic and dangerous air about me, for my little baby boy shrinks from my rough flannel shirt and broad-brimmed-- hat;, as did the baby son of Hector from his brazen corslet, and beamy helm and nodding plume. I snatch a kiss and hurry away to our place of rendezvous. 3. Myself—long and lean and lantern-jawed, and in search of romantic adventure, 1 was sometimes called, by Linderman, but very sec- retly, Don Quixote. I accept the nickname with pleasure, perhaps with pride. 1 have a great Tespect for the old Don. There was nothing re- markable about my horse. A strong, tough, well-made gray, both gentle and careful, he was admirably suited for my purposes. =My function in the party was that of surgeon and sclentific lecturer. This is the description given by the writer of the big trees in the Mariposa grove at Wawona, then known as Clarks Big Tree Station: My first impression of the big trees was somewhat disappointing, but, as I passed from one to another: as, with upturned face I looked along their straight polished shafts, towering to the height of 300 feet; as I climbed up the sides of the prostrate trunks and stepped from end to end, as I rode around the standing trees and into their enormous hollows; @s we rode through the hollows of some of these prostrate trunks, and even chased one another on horseback through these enormous, hollow cylinders, a sense of their immensity grew upon me. If they stood by themselves on & plain, they would be more immediately striking. But they are glants among giants. The wWhole forest is filled with magnificent trees, sugar pines, yellow pines and spruce, elght to ten feet in diameter and 200 to 250 feet high. The sugar pine, especlally, s a magnifi- cent tree in size, height and symmetry of form. Of all the big trees of this grove, and, there- fore of all the trees I have ever seen, th Grizzly Glant impressed me most profoundly: not, indeed, by its tallness or its symmetry, but by the hugeness of its cylindrical trunk, and by a certain gnarled grandeur, a fibrous, sinewy strength which seems to defy time it- self. The others, with their smooth, straight tapering shafts, towering to the height of 300 feet, seemed to me a type of youthful vigor and beauty, in the plenitude of power and | success. But this, with its large, rough- knobbed, battered trunk, more than thirty feet in dlameter—with top broken off and decayed at the height of 150 feet—with its great limbs, six to eight feet In dlameter, twisted and broken—seemed to me the type of a great life, decaying, but still strong and self-reliant. Per- haps my own bald head and grizzled locks— my own top. with its decaying follage—made me eympathize with this grizzled glant; but I found the Captain (Professor Frank Soule), oo, standing with cap in hand, and gazing in nl]dent(‘ areheaded reverence upon the grand old tree, Here is the description written by Pro- fessor Le Conte of his first view of the Yosemite Valley, in which he was to die thirty-one years later: With increasing enthusiasm we pushed on untll, about 6 p. m., we reached and climbed | mass of Halt Dome lifts itself in solita grandeur, defying the efforts of the climbes to the éxtreme right, and a_little behin | than an hour, to | well repaid—such a sunset I never saw: s | never Imagined.

Sentinel Dome stands on the south margin of Yosemite, near the point where it branches into three canyons. To the left stands El Capitan’s massive, per- pendicular wall; directly in front, and dis- tant about one mile, Yosemite Falls, like a gauzy veil, rippling and waving with a slow, mazy motion; to the right the mighty granite in Nevada Falls, with the Cap of Liberty the distance, innumerable peaks of the high Sier- ras, conspicuous among Wwhich are Clouds Rest, Mount Starr King, Cathedral Peak, atc. We remained on the top of this dome more > the sunset. = We were I ha a sunset, combined with such a view, - and shadows of the grand peak: ly creeping up the valle get the impression. We remained, enjoyl this scene, too long to think of going to Gl cier Point this evening. We therefore put this off untll morning and returned on our trail about one and a half miles to a beautiful green meadow (Hawkins had chosen it on his way to Sentinel Dome) and there made camp in a grove of magnificent spruce trees. SUNDAY, July 31 I got up at peep of day this morning (I am dishwash to-day), roused the party, started the fire and in ten minutes tea was ready. All partook heartily of this delicious beverage and started on foot to see the sun rise from Glacier Point. This point is about one and a half miles from our camp, about 3200 feet above the valley and forms the sallent angle on the south side, just where the valley divides into three. We had to descend about 800 feet to reach it. We arrived just before sunrise. Sunrise from Gla- cler Polnt! No onme can appreciate it who has not seen it. "It was our good fortune to have an exceedingly beautiful sunrise. Rosy-fin- gered Aurora revealed herself to us, her vo- taries, more bright and charming and rosy than ever before. But the great charm was the view of the valley and surrounding peaks in the fresh, cool morning hours and in the rosy 1ight of the rising sun: the bright, warm light on the mountain tops and the cool shade In the valley. The shadow of the grand Half Dome stretches clear across the valley, while its own “bald, awful head" glitters In the early sunlight. To the right Vernal and Ne- vada falls, with thefr magnificent overhanging peaks, in full view: while directly across see the ever-rippling. ever-swaying, gauzy vell of the Yosemite Fall, reaching from top to bot- tom of the opposite cliff, two thousand six hun- dred feet. Below, at a depth of 3200 feet, the bottom of the valley lles like a garden. There, right under our noseg are the hotels, the orchards, the flelds, the meadows (near one of these, Hawkins, even now, selects our future camp)—the forest and through all the Merced River winds its appar- ently lazy serpentine way. Yonder, up the Tenaya Canyon, nestling close under the shadows of Halt Dome, lies Mirror Lake, fast asleep, her polished black surface, not yet rip- pled by the rising wind. I have heard and read much of this wonderful valley, but I can truly say. T had never imagined the grandeur of the reality. After breakfast we returned to Glacler Point and spent the whole of the beautiful Sunday e T iisence of grand mountains, O ng chasms and magnificent falls.

Here is the story of the following Sun- day, spent on the floor of the valley, told in the most charming vein of the delight~ ful old man About 11 a. m. ws took a quiet swim in the river; for we think a clean skin is next in importance to a pure heart. During the rest of the ‘morning I sat and enjoyed the fine the opening or gate of the valley, o side of the meadow. Thers ia ‘1 Capitan in massive latt, and the Cathedral Rock Bride on the right. I spent the morning with this scene before me. While ting here 1 again took out my little sew- Ing case and darned my pants, a little broken by my experfments in sliding, da- before yes- terday. God bless the dear, thoughtful one who provided me with this necessary article: God bless the little fingers which arranged these needles and wound so neatly the thread. May God's choicest blessings rest upon the dear ones at home. . the infinite love. keep them in health and happiness until I return. Surely, absence from home is some- times necessary to make us feel the price- less value of loving hearts. There fs considerable breeze to-day; and now, while I write, the Bride's Veil is waft- ed from side to side, and sometimes lifted until T can almost see the blushing face of the Bride herself—the beautiful spirit of the fall. But whose bride? Is it old El Capi- tan? Strength and grandeur united with grace and beauty! Fitting union. But ¥, too, thank God, have a bride—nay. much more and better-a tried and faithful wife. At 3 p. m.—Went agamn alone to the lower side of the meadow and sat down before the gate of the valley. From this point I looked directly through the gate and up the valley. There, again, rising to_the very siies, stands the huge mass of El Capitan on the ome sids and on the other the towering peak of the Cathedral, with the Velled Bride retiring a lit- tle back from the too ardent gaze of admira- tion; then the cliffs of Yosemite, growing nar- rower and lower on each side beyond. 3 p. m.—After supper went again aloms into the meadow, to enjoy the moonlight view. The moon is long risen and “near her highest noon," but not yet visible in this deep valley, although I am sftting on the extreme northern side. Cathedral Rock and the snowy Veil of« the Bride and the whole right side of the camyon in in deep shade, and its serried margine strons- 1y relieved against the bright mooniit sky. On the other side are the cliffs of El Capitan, mow white in the moonlight. Above all arched the deep, black sky. studded with stars gazing quietly downward. Here, under the black arch- ing sky and before the grand cliffs of Yosemite, 1 lifted my heart in humble worship to the Great God of Nature. Yes, but also of Grace.
