EASTON IS SAFE
(Continued from first page)
strain of being hung on the reef. The
rock where it stopped was flat and al
though a little \paint was taken off it
newer 'leaked a drop. It is like a
chunk of car rubberyou might bend
it, but break it, never."
Cornelius A. Mantin, a passenger,
says:
Captain Hokanson said last night
"The Baston was making about
half speed when it ran into a bank of
fog. The Iroquois reef projects out
of the lake abouit three feet. The
reef's end is not more than thirty
feet from the regular cousrse of boats
on the shore rocks. In the haze and
snow the Baston went straight into
this pile of rocks. I was standing
well forward and felt the first lift of
the boat's nose as it began to climb
The wiheel stopped the instant the
bell was sounded and then began
madly reversing, but the momentum
of the boat loaded with heavy cargo
was enougli to make it crawl out of
water and partly across the reef
Then it stopped, after falling on its
left side.
"Everybody came on deck, passen
gers and crew, and lanterns were let
down to see just where we had land
ed. Discovering rocks at both sides
of us, we knew we were high and
dry. The Baston's nose was five feet
in tlhe water and its wheel was as
mudh out on the other side of the
reef.
"When the lighter came it ap
iproached from the shore side of the
reef Seventy tons or more of cargo
were lightered from the rear of the
Baston and the remainder was piled
the bow Thus over-balanced to
ward Hhe water it easily was pulled
off the reef."
Some time late in January this lit
tie steamer of 460 tons and 155 feet
in length breaks ice and dares gales
up the bleak north shore to deliver
freight to the isolated towns of that
district.
The cause given by the crew for
the Eaeton's slow trip back from the
Iroquois reef was prosaic and com
meoial enough. "We picked up a full
cargo of fish," they said

LEGEND QF NATURAL BRIDGE
It Saved the Mohegans and Was
Thenceforth Called by Them
the Bridge of God.
At a height of 215 feet above Clear
creek in Virginia stands the famoui
natural bridge known all over the
world. Built of solid rock forty feet
thick, it spans the creek It is a
great natural wonder Our great and
beloved national hero, George Wash
ington, once climbed it and carved
his name upon its side The Mohegan
(tribe of Indians called it the Bridge
of God and ascribed to it this super
natural origin
Once upon a time it happened that
the Mohegans were at war with a hos
tile tribe of Indians. The fight was
hot, and a valiant stand they made
against their foe But at last the Mo
hegans were forced to give way and
to retreat. On and on they went,
the whole tribe with their women and
children, and the enemy behind them
Finally they came to a precipice. Be
low yawned a cavern, wide and deep,
and no way to cross or means to es
cape was anywhere to be seen Peril
ous and helpless indeed was the
plight of the Mohegans. They were
ready to give up and submit to the
cruel fate that was pursuing them.
Then a wise man of the tribe spoke.
"My children," he said, "go down upon
four knees and pray to the Great
Spirit above, who alone can save ua
'rom our misfortunes
All In a body they obeyed the words
f the old medicine man. Long and
hard they prayed. When they finally
lifted up their heads, lo, there stood
i mighty bridge. Across It they now
ted the women and children, and then
turned upon their foes, who were
close at hand. They gave the enemy
& hard battle and finally repulsed and

The gas and electrical departments
a corporation in Glasgow, Scotland,
are competing keenly in the exhibi
tion of appliances for the reduction of
smoke from furnaces and kitchen
ranges. The electricity department
has a complete electrically fitted res
taurant, where all the cooking, thej
kitchen work, the cleaning, the heat
ing and the lighting are effected by
jBlectric current. The gas department
has a "gas equipped house," in which
all the cooking and heating is done by
gas fires, as well as many of the oth
er operations In connection with house
keeping, and in which all the lighting
is obtained from Incandescent gas
burners of different types. The cor
poration is encouraging the reduction
of smoke, not only by holding these
periodical exhibitions, but also by
lending gas cookers free to all the
citizens. It has loaned 37,000 of these
(cookers since March 1. It Is also
supplying gas fires, and the demand
for these has been so great that it
cannot be met without considerable
delay.
