Whoever the Ingenious native was Um first sug gested thia mode of crossing a river he probably came from th. jungles of Assam and had seen monk, ys crosi the river there by means of growing creepers there 1b no doubt that ht found the one method which Is ap pllcable to the big river- . xaggeruted mountain torrents, of ear-tern Tibet and far western China. The obvious way for natives to QrOM I river la by canoe, but. unfortunately, neither the Salween nor the Mekong, hlg as the aro. are navigable oven fc canoes In Tlliet. The tingle way rope bridge overcomes every difficulty Two smal ptetforOU are made, one on either sld of the river, one high up, he other 2 or "0 feet lower down; stout posts are driven into the rock and the bamboo roje Is slung across from post to post and tightened so that It Hopes steeply from one bank to the other. The slider consists of a half-cylinder of wood. About three inches in diameter having two slots cut Tn it" upper sur face, one nt either end. through which pass the leather 1 hongs: to these thongs thr man. baggage or animal Itf lied, so that he hangs Just beneath the rope, and, being pushed off the plat form, the slider carries him safely over the river. It will be seen, there fore, that two fopei are necessary at each crossing, one for going each way The advantages of such a system an obvious. The rope is cheap to make and the materials ate ready to hatui It is quickly put In place and. though lt wfl not stand the wear and tear of constant use for very long, it can bo replaced in a few hours. It can be suspended so high above the river that it is completely out of reach of sum mer floods, but very often it is only it few feet above the wnter at Its lowest point, and such ropes are under water and impassable, during the Rummer (Mi tne otner Dana, I have seen toper as much an a hundred feet above the river: they look rather alarming, but an a matter of fact, it would make n difference whether one fell one hun dred feet or five feet into Mek river as the M kong in Tibet. After a few weeks' use the rone begins to sag at the lower end and may reontn tightening up, especially if animals are being slung across: a man can pull himself up the Inst few feet, hand ovet band, or haul up a box which has got stuck, but an animal is helpless unless he lands right on the oppnsito bank Hundreds of these single way rope bridges are In OM on the Mekong and Salween rivers alone, and they occur a long way east of this on the Ii-Iung and Li-tang rivers, and many others Hut I have never seen one on thf Yangtze, which is too big n river.

HAS 20 MINUTES SUNSHINE There is a busy town of 5oo Inhab itants In Colorado where the sun shines but I'd minutes out of each 24 hours This town la River Portal U ia located In Ouuuisoii canyon mid is the point Horn which the great Ouu uUon runnel was Pin that the waters 01 that rher might lie conducted to 'he deserts beyond the mountain range. The Gunnison canyon was teep and precipitous and opposed great difficulties to the engineers who ought to d'.Nert its waters. These engineers cut a road in the solid rock of the cauyon s side and at the foot I that mad planted a town. This town waa the headquarters for the apectarular engineering enterprise that they had In mind. In the town lived the working force which was drilng the tunnel through the moun tain. Ihhs town waa perched upon the piece of ground at the foot of the great cliffs that was most nearly level. Eten thla spot, however, of lered an opportunity of placing the dwellings only in an Irregular way and one above the other. Here in the mountains has existed for four years a busy little village with all t!ie .lenients of modem civilisation brought with it into thia iaolation. In the picture Cncle Sam" publh- school appears as the highest building In the rigit haud background. The strangest thing about this vil lage is the fact that it has but 20 nilntifes of sunshine every day. This 's due to the precipitous walls that ns.- on, h side of the stream and shut out the raya of the egg fherc is the brief period of 20 minutes be tween ii l' and 11:40 when rhe sun peeps over the bluff on the one side of the stream and before Its rays have been cat off by the high cliffs on the (filler side Thie one short span ot sunlight is all that these people of the unyon get year in and year out. Artificial liht hills run high here. PLATINUM FROM RIVER BED Money Saved Through Anty Drudge.

CZAR'S WARDROBE COSTLY The czar of Russia is the European OTnrgtfl who spends most on his wardrobe The tailor who makes his ordinary suits says the net annual profit from them Is $10,000, and the army tailor who Is responsible for the inlforms and court dress makes J15,- 000 a year Ills Bgjntt never puta n n suit more than three times, and each on coats about $60. For bilk hats the czar pays $2, and $10 a pair for '-'loves. Hvery year, it is stated he :urchases a sable cape costliiK $2,400. KltiK nsagragj n 'he other hand.

OWgTgf pays very little attention to his civil wardrobe. He never pays BOfl than $3i"i for a suit, which he Mink noihlcg of wearing thirty times The principal luxury In drews he al lows himself is in neckties. With the king of Spain the favorite article of dress is silk shirts, in which lie always hunts, and of which he bu many dozens every year at $'lo each The most frugal of all the crowned heads in the mutter of clothing Is the king of Norway, who spends no more than an ordinary well-to-do dtzen. GREATEST LAND OWNER The greatest land owner in the world la S dnt v Kidman, a cattleman of Queensland, Australia, whose runs tigurenate 50,000 scpiare miles This Immense tract, greater In extent than the state of Pennsylvania, he admits t- "larger than any one man should have" Kidman, when a boy of thlr- tM years, left his home at Adelnlde to seek his fortune. He secured work as a cowboy at five dollars a week. He finds the atmosphere of cities hard to breathe ami is never so happy at when traveling in a baggy across th huce tracts where he is monaich 0 all he survyes. Stains arc the great trial of a woman who does the family wash in the old way. Coffee stains, fruit stains, eg stains, occa sionally blood stains, and many others w hich defy all ordinary soaps and hard rubbing as well. In despair, the housewife boils the clothes until their fibre is softened and weakened, but even then the shadows of the stains remain. Such stains are easy for Fels-Naptha soap. They are but minute particles of colored matter clinging to threads of the cloth. The Fels-Naptha dissolves them into tiny atoms which can't cling to any thing. A rinsing separates them from the clothes entirely. The stain is gone, leav ing the clothes clean, white and pure. And mind you, all this is done in colel or lukewarm water, without boiling er hard rubbing. Fels-Naptha does not in the slightest elegre-e harm the fibre of the cloth as boiling docs. No other soap, ne matter what it is e ailed, will take out stains with out boiling. Be sure to get the genuine Fels-Naptha. lt comes in the red and green wrapper. Pedestrians.
