LIGHT ON UNKNOWN LANDS

Explorer Added Greatly to World’s Knowledge of Customs of Peculiar Peoples and Tribes.

Returning in April, 1917, from one of his trips, Capt. Theodore de Booy, the archeologist and explorer of prevt- | ously unknown regions of Santo Do- | mln go and Venezuela, who died in New York, brought with him a “swallow or regurgitating stick" from the Virgin islands. The “swallow stick" was believed to have been used in worshlj) by a West Indian priest more than 400 years ago. It was about five inches I long, and carved from the rib of «•; sea cow, In the Image of one of the - West Indian tribal gods. It was aald that there were only three other such sticks in existence. Previously unknown regions in the mountains between Venezuela and Colombia were explored by Captain De Booy. No white man had ever before entered the high and cloud-capped mountains of that country, which are inhabited entirely by Indian tribes. It took many days of difficult mountain climbing to reach the heights where the tribes live in a land of perpetual mist and cold, although within ten degrees of the equator. Captain De Booy reported that for the most part he had found the natives friendly. At the start he was chosen to lead a campaign against a neighboring tribe to obtain women and other booty. All the material results of the expedition save the women were offered him, but he declined. Captain De Booy conducted archeo- ' logical Investigations In the Bahamas, Cuba. Jamaica, Haiti, Santo Domingo, Turks and Caicos islands, Margarita, Trinidad, Martinique, Venezuela and the Virgin islands of the United States.

CITY OF GREAT FINANCIERS

Frankfort-on-Main Celebrated for Remarkable Men of Genius It Has Given to World. Frankfort, the famous German town on the River Main, is the birthplace of the world’s greatest millionaires. It Is a wealthy commercial city, and quite disproportionately famous in comparison with its actual size. The Rothschilds, whose ancestral home is now the solitary relic of the once famous Jewish quarter of the city ; the Sterns and the Speyers in England, and the Kahns, the Kuhn, Loeb & Co., in this country, would alone suffice to make it remarkable as the birthplace of international financiers. Even more extraordinary is the number of successful financial firms which had their birth or whose founders were born on the banks of the Main. The reason which is usually given for this seemingly strange coincidence is that the geographical position of Frankfort is such that a mixture of races is fostered, and that has been proved to be specially favorable to financial genius.

What Every Man Expects.

Oh, yes, it Is perfectly easy for any woman to learn to cook, writes Helen Rbwland. All in the world you need is the “right spirit, my dear." And a stove and a cook book, and a bungalow apron. And —the genius of a Newton, the science of a Savarln, the patience of a Griselda, the agility of a Charlie Chaplin, the judgment of Solomon. the skill of Ariel, the Imagination of Jules Verne, the persistence of Delilah, the versatility of Mrs. Fiske, the sure aim of Christy Mathewson, the coolness and composure of “Central,” the calm decision of Haroun-al-Ras-chld, the thumbs of a blacksmith, the skin of a salamander, the batting average of Ty Cobb, the bluff of Cagilostro, the nerve of Jess Willard, the self-as-surance of a kaiser, the faith of Joan of Arc. and —the meekness of a—worm!

Happiness in Work.

“Only regular, happy, productive work can give life its full savor,” said Jules Payot in the “Education of the Will." “ ? That upwelling sense of energy which we c&l the joy of living can only arise and be made part of dally life by work. He who does nothing at all has plenty of time to chew the cud of petty annoyances. The mind ‘gnaws itself,’ to use a popular French expression.” ‘'When a soldier or laborer complains of the work he has to do let him be put to doing nothing,” says Pascal, and Darwin testifies to the wretchedness of idleness with the remark. “During my stay at Maer my health has been poor have been scandalously lazy. The impression that this has made upon me is that nothing is so unbearable as laziness.”

Webster's Log Cabin.

It did not happen to me to be born in a log cabin; but my elder brothers and sisters were born in a log cabin, raised among the snowdrifts of New Hampshire. at a period so early that when the smoke first rose from Its rude chimney and curled over the frozen hills there was no similar evidence of a white man's habitation between it and the settlements on the rivers of Canada. Its remains still exist; I make it annual visit. I carry my children to it, to teach them the hardships endured by the generations which have gone before them. I love to dwell on the tender recollections, the kindred ties, the early affections, and the touching narratives and incidents, which mingle with all I know of this primitive family abode. —Daniel Webster.

TOILED HARD FOR SUCCESS

Great Sculptor Knew Many Vicissitudes Before His Genius Compelled World’s Acknowledgment.

The old. old story of genius lolling against adversity and Winning the struggle is ever repeating Itself—and : Is ever Interesting. Rodin, the great | French sculptor, climbed the ladder , laboriously, but with such a persist- | ence that fame could not escape him. ! In “Rodin, the Man and His Art,” Miss Judith Cladel tells how the young artist, in order to live, applied himself to varied occupations. He chipped at stone and marble, he drew sketches for the fashionable Jewelers of Paris, and he made articles’ of decorative art ordered by manufacturers. Despite a considerable loss of time he obtained by that means a true apprenticeship in art. and finally was able to realize his first dream —to have an atelier of his own. His atelier! It was a stable in the j Rue Lebrun. In the quarter of the Gobelins, where he was born, ft was > a cold hovel-cave, with a well sunk in the angle of the wall that, at every se-tison, exhaled its chilling breath. It did not matter. The place was sufficiently large and well lighted. There Rodin accumulated his studies and works until the place became so crowded that he could hardly turn himself about, but, being too poor to have them east. he lost the greater; part of them. Sometimes the soft clay I settled and fell asunder; sometimes, becoming.too dry. it cracked and crumbled. —Youth’s Companion.

NEVER WORE ROYAL DIADEM

Seven Queens of England Who Remained Uncrowned on Account of State and Religious Reasons. There have been seven uncrowned queens of England. The first was Margaret of France, the second wife of Edward I. Money was scarce in the government coffers at the time, and Edward could not afford the expense of a coronation. The Pour later wives of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn’s successors —Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves, Catherine Howard and Catherine Parr —were never publicly crowned as queen consorts. Perhaps it was because Henry thought it would cause ridicule to have coronations occur as frequently as his marriages. Henrietta Maria, the wife of Charles I, being a strict Catholic, refused to take part in a state function which would compel her to partake of the sacrament ac cording to the rites of the Church of England. Sophia Dorothea, the wife of George I, and mother of George 11, was never recognized as queen of England. and therefore cannot be classed as one of Britain’s uncrowned queens. Caroline of Brunswick, the wife of George IV, was not permitted to be present in Westminster hall at his coronation.

Lone Tree of 1849.

There was an Immense cottonwood, four feet thick and very tall, which stood in Nebraska almost in the center of the continent, half-way between New York and San Francisco, which was within one mile of that center. Under its branches rested thousands of forty-niners en route to the Eldorado of the Pacific coast. It was the best known camping ground on the old California trail. From 1849, when the gold seekers rushed across the great plains down to the completion of the Union Pacific railway, the great tree was a guidepost to the wagon trains going West. After the railway was completed there was no further use for the old tree and It eventually rotted away and died. In 1910 a monument was erected on the spot that the tree had occupied. It represents the trunk of a giant cottonwood and bears this inscription: “On this spot stood the original Lone Tree on the old California trail.”

Remarkable Women Rulers.

Remarkable in many ways was Elizabeth Petrovna, empress of Russia, and daughter of Peter the Great. She died 157 years ago. after a reign of 20 years. While history knows her chiefly for her immorality, she left behind her monuments to her better nature, the University of Moscow and the Academy of Fine Arts in Petrograd. Empress Elizabeth’s mother was the Empress Catherine, who had been the wife of a Swedish dragoon, and became the mistress of several men before Peter jthe Great married her. Her daughter. Elizabeth Petrovna, when she ruled Russia, once became so riiortified by one of the jests of Frederick the Great that she made i war on the witty Prussian king, and until her death Russia was one of his most dangerous enemies.

Antis Sweet Tooth.

One of the greatest pests that haunt our orange groves Is the Argentine ant, and yet It never goes hear the' trees. Every bit of the damage it ] does indirectly. It seems that it has a very sweet tooth and is abnormallyl fond of a honey dew that Is secreted ■ by certain mealy bugs and scales that ! are most injurious, and It will go to any lengths to protect them from be- , Ing destroyed or harmed In any way.! In Louisiana they have discovered a way of trapping these ants. They construct nests and when they all congregate there, as they will in rainy ! weather, they can destroy them. In California they poison them with poison syrup. When they once gone it is easy/ enough to deal with thalr friends. \

TREATY CANNOT BE AMENDED

That Is Senator Hitchcock’s View After Conference With the President. OPTIMISTIC ABOUT TREATY ' 7 Keen Observers at Washington Feel That All Efforts to Amend the Treaty Will Prove Futile.

Washington, Aug. 27.—Senator Hltchco<x. who is leading the fight In the senate*for the ratification of the peace treaty, has issued a statement to the effect that lie and the other friends of the treaty in the senate-are so confident of their ability to defeat any amendments on the floor of the senate that they are willing to go to a vote this week. Senator Hitchcock’s statement was given out Just after he left the White Home where he had conferred with the president about the treaty. The conference with the president followed a red-letter day in the senate for the friends of the treaty. The speech of Senator McCumber, one of the veteran Republican leaders, against the Shantung amendment adopted by the majority of the foreign relations committee, was one of the most effective arguments that has been made against the Shantung amendment in particular as well as against amendment or reservation that would necessitate sending the treaty back to the powers. It Is the general opinion among the keenest observers in Washington that Senator McCumber has more than off set any headway that the opponents of the treaty may have made by reason of the" fact that they control the foreign relations committee. “To my mind, Senator McCumber has put the final nail in the Shantung eoptroversy,’’ said Senator Hitchcock In his statement.

Continuing, Senator Hitchcock said: “I told the president that the Shantung amendment put on in the foreign relations committee, would be defeated by a decisive vote in the senate, I told him that at least 12 Republican senators would vote against the amendment.

“The president seemed pleased wtih the situation in the senate and the country. I told him we helped move the treaty forward today by getting rid of the Fall amendments. I suggested to the committee that It might as well vote on all as one of them. “My position is that it is best to get the treaty in the senate, regardless of what Is done to it in the committee, where the opponents are in the majority.

“The country cannot be settled until this treaty is disposed of in the proper way. Nothing will be settled as long as it is pending.’’ “That is the basis of all our troubles now,” said Bernard Baruch, who was listening to the statement of Mr. Hitchcock. Mr. Hitchcock responded: “Yes. and we will not get rid of them until we act. The country is rapidly coming to that conclusion. The people want action.” “My prediction is,” Mr. Hitchcock added, “that each amendment put on By the foreign relations committee will be voted down when It comes up. W£ have at least 40 Democrats and 20 Republicans who will stand together against some amendments. The vote will not be so large on others but large enough to kill them. “About forty Democrats are working with the 20 Republicans to get the treaty out of the committee.” Mr. Hitchcock predicted that the treaty would be ratified by the last of September. “I have been a little dubious about the proposed trip of the president,” said Senator Hitchcock, "but, his success with the Republican senators who called on him by invitation has convinced me that he could do great good before the people. The attitude of the opponents of the League of Nations improved after the visits to the White House. Contact with the members of the senate has helped. I told the president he should see other senators, and I hope he will.”

Burial Place is Exclusive.

One of the most remarkable burial places in the world is situated at Hartsdale in Westchester county, New York, a short ride from the largest city in America. It is the last resting place of the dogs and other pet? of the wealthy. Dogs are not “thrown into the ground” at Hartsdale nor are they left with merely a stick of wood to indicate where they lie. Many Hartsdale tombstones cost as much and are quite as imposing as the average stone over the average person in the com» mon run of cemteries. '
