C. twin Cuts, Phantom Canon Highway. ? - ' t \ - . ? . . ? THE Phantom Canyon highway, between Cripple Creek and' Canon City, Colo., la now ' open to travel, and us a re sult Colorado offers to tlje motorlat another great circle trip through some cf America's finest scenery. Thq highway was formally dedicated on August 30, when more than 600 motors lata from Teller, Fremont, El Paso and other Colorado counties gathered at Glenbrook, a point midway between Cripple Creek and Canon City, and participated In {he ceremonies inci dent to the opening of this road. Phantom Canon highway 1m unique among the scenic roads of the Rocky mountains, and its story Is one" of the most Interesting chapters in the his tory of road building ki Colorado. In the early days of Cripple Creek, there was built the Florence and Cripple Creek railroad, a narrow-gauge line, to carry the rich ores to the smelters and to bring the fruit, hay and other products of the fertile Vftlieyfl to the mining camps high in the hills. As time went on the need for this road grew less and loss, until. Anally it was abandoned and dismantled. But the ipeeit for communication between min ing camp aiyl agricultural valley con The N Arrows. v . -v <??<; -VJ Teller and Fremont counties, were equal ta the occasion ; with the coop eration of the state highway commis sion they secured the right of way, and then they set about to convert it Into a real highway. * Built en Old Railroad Line. Probably $1,000,000 was the original cost of building this roadbed, miles of whtcli were cut and blasted from solid granite. At an expense of $75,000, the road builders have made of it a first* class motor highway, rebuilt and re paired bridges, widened the roadbed where necessary, and generally put the 87 miles in excellent condition. While the road is almost a continuous curve, mile after mile, it. ts wide _ enough' nt most pldcfei'gfrr gflrt to pass, and ordinarily careful driving is nil that is necessary. It is built on a 4% per cent gratia* It is a wonderful ride from the world-famous Cripple Creek mining district through Phantom Canon to Ctinon Caty cafl-noreuce. ? For the first few miles out of Victor the road stays on the top of the ridge, feith long-distance views of Pike's PealC the Sangre de Christo and other snow capped mountain ranges. Then It loops Its way down into the canyon. Granite Walls and Deep Cuts. , Bugged granite walls stand like tow ers of many ancient ruins. The road winds along the base of these mighty cliffs, often tllrough great cuts be tween high granite piles, dccaslonally crossing the ravine on a solid steel bridge, and even piercing the moun tain sides through tunnels blackened In bygone days by the smoke of the locomotive that' no longer soahdi'fts ~ shrill whistle to the echo of the nar row walls from which the canyosl took Its name. After a serpentine de Scent of 20- miles the road conysjwrt onto the broad plains and soon 1s making its way past great apple or ?chards and fertile fields to the twin titles of .Florence and Canon City. Completion of .this highway makes acceaslbls from Colorado Kprtnys, and equally as well from Canon City, Grip* ^ple Creek, Pueblo, Florence or Mant le u, a circle trip of 185 miles, unrl* valed either In ruggedness of scenery or In variety of Interest This trip completely encircles Pikes Peak, snow* capped "Sentinel of the Rockies jw It traverses historic Ute pass ; winds through the world's greatest gold-mln inf camp, apd passes the dumps of the greatest producing mines at Cripple Creek, Victor itnd Ooldfleld; unfolds Phantom Orion, unquestionably one c f Colorado's finest gorges ; connects with the far-famed Sky-Llhe drlve and the rwid to the top of the Royal -gorge at Cahyon City; passes through the great orchard section, the oil fields and the cement districts, and winds back to Colorado Springs through pine forests and picturesque foothills country. Or the wider circle ^nay well take In Pueblo, the "Pittsburgh of the West," with its Immense steel mills, and up the fertile Fountain val ley to Colorado Springs. USED ELECTRIC RAYS . s Cleopatra's Court Physician Known to Hpve Prescribed Them fpr Med- f leal Purposes, The electric ray Is a Species of fish found on the Pacific coast. It is known from central California south ward to the Santa Barbara channel and is very common In Monterey bay. This fish is provided with an electric organ composed of hexagonal cells, reaching from the skin of the upper surface to that of the lower, and situ ated at each side of the head and gill chambers. The electricity discharged from this ray has the properties of other electricity, such as rendering an lcals and producing a spark. Stories vary as to the volume of the discharge, tut even a small ray Is capable of Inflicting considerable pain. After a few discharges the fish becomes exhausted and must rest be fore Its electric organsareagaln func tional. It Is of Interest to note that the first reoord we . have of the application of electricity is of the time of Antcny and Cleopatra, whose court physl<lan recommended the electricity of an elec tric rny for raeYIfcpI purposes, especial j ly for pains In the head. Later It was prescribed for the cure of gout.? Amer ican Angler. ?: . . - i i ... I.,. Qas Gets the Rats. An enemy whose activities do not figure In the official reports bnt against which allied soldiers wage daily war faro is the rat. Tens Of thousands of j rats, huge, sharp-fanged fighters, have dug themselves In among the billets and trenches la France and Flanders arid they are a constant torment. Thanks to modern medical science there has been little or no disease communicated by the rodents. Rats multiply rapidly In the trenches and thrive well. They steal the soldier's ?Vatlnns. disturb Jttfcflit and spitefully , bite him when he offers resistance. The pest Is hunted with ferrets, terriers, poison and traps and when particu larly numerous given a gas attack. After the trenches are drenched with gas they are generally clear of rats for a long period. p ? 't$#*trlotlo Honey It is stated as a curious fact that the 'honey bee Is this sealoa doing more than its ustul share in provid ing a substitute for sugar. An Bast side resident of Rochester, N. Y., who has succeeded measurably in keeping bees without undue annoyance to his neighbors, reports that none of his colonies have swarmed thus fair this season, and that they are producing honey In great Sundance, r This Is cheerful news In view of the fact that the English ration of two pounds of sugar per month for each person Is ; now urter enforced in this country. - - 1 - - - j Disregarded.

The butterfly half tbireted for honey, tbe other sought the hewer. A part was brutish, and a part had the loveliness of a bird of paradise.
