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.

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.

Just before the war a Geriuau eeleu*
itit produced u uew umnetrosity. After
many experiment^' he sutveeded in graft
ing a i>Mrt of one insect ui?on lh?* ImmIv
,<?# another, so aw to create a hidecus
w.w creature. The grafting was doue
when tbe creature* were in tbe pupa
state, and th? egg* or grub* were united.
Taking the pupa of the spider, by a deli
c*te operation the surgeon grafted it
upon the pupa of a butterfly, and when
the freak passed out of tbe chtysallis
stage, it was this monstrosity; <*ne part
of the hideous creature wanted to rise
into tbe sunshine, the other wanted to
dig In a garbage heap. 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. It was lite .the uuion of
Mephlatophelee and An angel, like a kind
of attempt to mi* and merge bell and
hitren.
Now what the German scientist did
in a laboratory upon unthinking insects,
the German state, through the kaiser, von
llindeuburg and von Tirplta, haa wrought
in the realm of mau. They denatured
the Germau of his sou]. In t?e indict
ment that the French government is to
ores* against the kaiser, there is a copy
of his letter to tbe emperor of Austria,
n which he says that in order to win
the war quickly and break down the
dowat of resistance of Belgium and
'?"ranee, "the throats of men, women and
-hiWren must 4>* cut." What does this
h um? The kaiser ki gotng to graft one
?alf of tho university professor to the
">oart of Herod, massacreing the inno
?outs of Bethlehem. He is grafting the
nlud of Goetho to the devilish n ess of
lephistopheles below the neck and Ju
? 'as from the neck up. He has the left
'?and holding, a tool, and von Ilinden-j
?irg'n right hand holding a torch. He :
