Show THE MIDVALE JOURNA L Thursday, Septembe r 25, 1930 - -- SCENIC PLAYGRO UNDS OF AMERICA By G. M. KILBOURN Falling Bonfires of Yosemite of the scenic playgrounds I NotMOST the West, the sightseer's day outdoors ls ended when the Great Electrician turns out the big light without deciding to leave the Uttle one on. But in Yosemite, as well as at Old Faithful camp in Yellowstone, man provides the 1lluminat1on, and with lt even an added touch of drama, when nature falls to supply it. For Yosemite's long firefall, which gives each traveler a chance to set his watch at 9 p. m. regardless of what day it is, ls almost as famous as its world-renowned waterfalls. Thirty-two hundred teet above Camp Curry and tile valley floor Is Glacier point, which ls also a hotel site and hence a convenient place for con· spiring against the world of darkness tllat surrounds the promontory from below as well as from above and sideways. Also the ellff's amazing sheer· ness Is quite an asset for dropping things. The blaze ls lit at Firefall point for about two hours-just long enough to Looking to See Where the Fire Goes. make red embers of the wood and plne cones chosen to be chief actors ln the drama. "IIello-oooo, Glacier," comes the call trom the valley three-fifths of a mile below, and Glacier replies In klnd. "Let-ttt the fire fall-Ill J" sings the stentor ln the valley, while thousands ot listeners, perhaps, stand hushed. And a special contrivance resembling a huge hoe gives the bonfire a slow boost Into space. It Is 1,400 feet down to the first protruding ledge. John llfuir used to tell how even the wild geese were apparently dumbfounded at the h~ght of Yosemite's walls; these distances not only dwarf the long waterfalls, but make them seem hesitant and playful. And so It Is with the firefa II ; there is poise, deliberation, drama, in its mission. No matter how often It is seen, it Is always interesting, thrilling, even Inspiring. No one knows, for sure, just who threw the fire down first. Some say it was J. K. Barnard, who ran the old Sentinel hotel In the valley in stage coach days; and others claim It was John McCauley, who bullt the first Glacier point establishment In 1872, and though a Scotchman, thus gave his customers one ot the greatest viewpointt In America. But whatever its source, Yosemite's flrefall during the long summer season is just as much a fixture as Is lunch or sunrise; and on such honored days as New Year's and the Fourth ot July, there is a triple tlrefall. To hundreds ot thousands who knew the late David A. Curry, the memory of tumbling embers always calls back the booming "Let-ttt the fire fall-llll" of the man who started with a wagon and seven tents and bullt permanent summer quarters for 1,400 people. He died in 1!)17; but Mrs. Curry, one ot California's most interesting women, Is still just "Mother Curry" to the thousands ot college men and women who have worked for her during summer vacations-since 18!Y.l. ({C), 1930, Western Newspaper Union.) Maxim Silencera Barred Maxim silencers are no longer made In this country, as the laws of almost every state now prohibit the sale or use of a silencer on any firearm. They were never made for either pistols or revolvers, as tt was against the policy of the company to so make them. They would silence the report of a single-shot pistol, but they would not silence the report of a revolver, because the report would escape at the junction between the cylinder and bar· rei of the revolver. The report was not strictly sllenced either on rlfies or single-shot pistols. It was reduced, however, from an explosion to a sort of loud puff or hiss. • Undisturbed An 'Adventist on one occasion met the celebrated Theodore Parker (stout· hearted Unitarian preacher who once thanked God for three good thingsthe sun, the moon, and Ralph Waldo Emerson) and warned him that the world was shortly to come to an end, chuckles Phllllps Russell In his "Life of Emerson." "That means nothing to me, sir," said Parker. "I live in Boston." Aud then the herald encountered Emerson and gave him the same warn· log. "Well, let 1t end," said Emerson. "I think we shall do very well without lt."
