N st be otes Of Travel. Gleaned On A Transcontinental Trip, By The Editor, LETTER NO, 12. SIERRA MADGE M(WNTAINS. Pasadena lies under the shadow of the Sierra Madre Mountains, that stand as a guard to the north of the city and form, a barrier, over which the cold north wind may not pass, Two of their peaks are accessible from this vicinity, viz„ Mt, Lowe and Mt. Wilson, We shall refer to each of these in detail, and the tourist who fails to ascend them miss an oppor- tunity of a lifetime. Will aur readers pardon a brief di- gression? The writer loves these mountain ranges. We worship as we gaze at them. What tremendous for- ces were at work to pile up, rock upon rock, those "eternal hills." What mighty upheavals and awful catacly- sms of nature must have shaken the desert before these giants took form, with their canyons, peaks, buttresses and foot -bills 1 We are reminded of the Psalmist's words—"I will lift up mine eyes to the bills, from whence cometh my help"; "As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the Lord is round about his people"; "The strength of the bills is his also"; and of Him, who said—"The mountains shall depart and the hills shall be re- moved, but my kindness shall not de- part from thee, neither shall the cove- nant of my peace be removed." How comforting to know that these promi- ses are made by Him, who "weighed the mountains in scales and the hills in a balance." These mighty motm- tains are not the result of chance. ]ruses• -climatic influence and the in- calculable wealththey have brought to the surface (so that it is available for man's needs) speak of *fled'e won- derful goodness and power. Mt. Lowe is the nearest peak to us, and by taking the electric -car on the main street, we pass through North Pasadena, and the pretty foot=hill suburb, Altadena, and in a few min- utes we stand at Rubio Canyon, at the base of the mountains. Here a won- derful incline railway bas been built by which you may ascend part of the way. The car is drawn upward by cables tested to one hundred tons, but never loaded over twenty. The in- cline car will hold about 20 people, and will carry you to Echo mountain, 3,500 feet above the sea, This incline railway is considered a triumph of engineering skill. On the steepest part of the grade, the rise 15 sixty-two feet in travelling 100 feet. Taking them in their order upward, the grades are 60, 62, 58 and 48. On the incline is a bridge 200 feet in length, and the upper end is 120 feet higher than the lower. At Echo mountain we leave the incline car, and take in the magnificent scenery of the valley. Rare too is Mt. Lowe Observatory, and the great World's Fair search- light, also a telescope 22 feet in length, 16 inches in diameter and weighing 22 tons. Large as this may seem, it is small compared with the telescope on Mt. Wilson, described farther on.. We now step on to an open, trolley ear and continue our ascent of Nit. Lowe, winding around its precipitous rocks, at times on an over -hanging bridge several thousand feet above the awful - looking chasm that yawns beneath. It is a ride full of intense interest, but soon tee arrive at Ye Alpine Tavern, beyond which electricity cannot take us, The remainder of the ascent must be en foot or on the faithful burro. Reaching the top, a magnificent pano- rama is spread ont before you, Below lies the San Gabriel valley with its cities, towns, villages, orange orohardds and vineyards. Pasadena is Peen nest. ling close to the foot -hills. Yonder is Los Angeles, and away beyond it rolls the Peelle ocean. Ib is an outlook not soon forgotten. The ascent and descent of Mt. Lowe is exbiliarating, and every possible safeguard is taken for safety of passengers, 'Yet one cannot help shuddering at he climbs the circular bridge overhanging the canyon four thousand feat below, jwet to think of what would happen if the bridge should fail.

Wilson as you did Mt, Lowe. You must either make the ten miles of toilsome ascent on foot, or avail yourself of the burro or the mule. If you are over 130 pounds, you must take a mule, lest the burro get tired and lie down without waiting for you to dismount, and of course they change snore for a mule than for a burro, I met one man (a Canadian) wha had walked up and down in one day, but very few will ever attempt it, To the foot passenger, the descent is far the most tiresome, on account of the jar on. the feet and lege. The better way ie to make. the ascent one afternoon, make yourself comfortable at the ho- tel at the summit, and descend at your leisure the next morning. The views from the mountain peak at night and as you descend will never fade fron memory. On the summit of Mt, Wilson is the Solar Observatory ir# charge of Dr, Geo, E. halo, Pb. D., F. R. S. This Observatory is undoubtedly the most extensive and best equipped for fine optical and photographic work iu the United States, Dr. Hale is assisted in the work by ten other professors, sev- eral of whore are specialists, and a number of others are engaged in the mechanical and computing depart- ments ; in all between twenty and thirty are employed in these astro- nomical researches. The excellency of the staff, and especially Dr. Hale'e acknowledged ability in solar research, as well. as the advantages of favorable location,. places Mt. Wilson Observa- tory in an almost unexcelled position. The Observatory is supported chiefly by endowment. Mr. Carnegie devoted a very large sum of money (twelve million dollars) to scientific research, and the interest on that amounts to $600,000 a year. Mt. Wilson Observa- tory shares largely in this fund. The great 60 inch reflector is the largest and best in the world, and was firet used in December, 1008, The 00 inch refers to the lens in the great tele- scope. Fancy a disc of glase, sixty inches across and seven or eight incises thick. These lenses are cast in France but are brought to. Pasadena, where they are ground and fitted for use. The writer visited the laboratory of the Observatory situated in this city, and the visit was interesting indeed. Ona of the gentlemen showed us around and what we saw was a reve- lation to us. In one building we saw where they had erected the huge tele- scope to teat it. As it weighed twenty or thirty tons, even the test founda- tions, though temporary, were neces- sarily strong. Here we saw the cast- ings being made and fitted, and the machines that" grind so accurately the lenses for the huge telescope. There was one lens 60 inches .dross and eight inches thick. A much larger one however awaited grinding ; this one by actual measurement was 100 inches across and thirteen inches thick, a solid disc of glass weighing seven tons. To grind this one lens, a building and special machinery have been erected. The machinery has to be set to a hair's breadth, indeed leas, for the gentle- man in charge informed the writer, that so exact must their computations be, that they worked down to the one -three hundred thousandth part of q,n inch in their calculations. In other worse they divided an inch into three hundred timesand equal parts, and that is an exceedingly small fraction. Ie another building, beneath the floor, was a pit, 30 feet deep fitteti'rvith re- flectors, used with the spectogrvir: other rooms were fitted with cameras for photographic work. Necessarily many of . the professor's explanations were technical, and cannot be given here. In another room were several lady clerks, computing and recording. The grinding of the great lens 00 inches in diameter, and the construc- tion of the heavy mounting of the disc, occupied many months of con- stant careful work, and when complet- ed they were transported up the steep mountain on a specially devised motor vehicle, a road having to be prepared for the purpose. The 100 inch lens is as yet unground, as the machinery for grinding it is not yet complete. A double tower 150 feet in height has been constructed at• the Observe - tory on the summit, for what is called the Tower Telescope. This tower consists of a supporting tower on a deep, firm foundation ; this is sur- rounded by another tower, disconnect- ed from: the first in order to prevent vibrations from currents of ale and to secure equable temperature, . so that the observations may be made as accurate as possible. The work of the Observatory is very interesting indeed. Prof. Hale has been investigating sun spots, and finds that great electric phenomena play an important part in the sun's influences, Prof, Adams has eompleted a eata- Iogue of 11,000 spectrum Iines affected by the spectra of the sun's spots. Others of the staff have photographed the nebula in Orion, in Adromeda, the ]Pleiades and others. That far-off star Arcturus has been studied to de- termine the pressure of the atmos phere. It has been found too, that the red stars are the most distant, as the light from the most distant stars tends to show red, because of the ab- sorption of other colors from the light as it passes through ifpaoe. But full description of the work of the Obser- vatory would be too technical to be of general interest, Our visit to the laboratory was instructive and the hour was well spent. •At . tithe of writing a. nese ooutet has appeared. e Olemervatory men have photo. graphed it r it appears to have simply made its appearance here and then began to lube away from ,as.

HAIR SLAUGHTER. Killed By Negligence. Hair must have nourishment or die. If it does not have proper nourishment it will loose its vitality, grow weak, and become an easy prey to the ravag- es of the vicious and destructive germs of dandruff. Parisian sage is a hair nourisher ; it is the result of sincere study and exs periment by one of the worlds leading scientists. It should be used regularly as a hair dressing by everyone with healthy hair, because it never fails to prevent dandruff. falling hair, or any scalp disease. But Persian Sage is not only a pre- ventive, it is a certain cure for dand- ruff; it stops itching of the scalp in- stantly ; it ntakes hair grow thick and luxuriant. It is especially in demand by ladies because it snakes the hair beautiful, soft and fluffy. Walton McKibbon, the druggist, sells it under a positive guarantee to do all that is claimed for it, or money back. 5Ca for a Large bottle. . Prayer By A Scotch Canadian Minister.
