Lion of water too

EVERY visitor to the held of Waterloo knows the Lion Mound, hut not one in a thousand is acquainted with its true history, mid the great majority of British tourists at least regard it as the British Lion. In 1829, shortly after its erection, a French visitor named Saintine described it as “the Belgic Lion looking towards and apparently threatening France.” That description seelns not to have been forgotten, and probably lies at the root of the suggestion just made in Brussels to turn the lion round so that the threat —it needs a very lively imagination to see any at all—in the pose may be diverted from France in the direction of Holland, writes Demetrius C. Boulger In the Graphic. What was the origin of the mound and the lion? In the first place, the animal represented is neither a British nor a Belgic emblem; it is the Dutch lion, and somewhere in a corner, if it has not been obliterated, will be found, I Imagine, the motto of NassauOrange, “Je Maintiendrai.” Whatever is done with It, then, the susceptibilities of neither Belgians nor British are involved. The British government have certainly no inherited claim to a voice in whatever solution may be adopted. It is not their concern. How the Mound Was Built. In 182(5 William I of the Netherlands, the great-grandfather of the present Queen Wilhelmina and one of the most obstinate personages to be found in the whole range of history, conceived that the field of Waterloo required a memorial to establish the heroism of his eldest son, who had received a wound on the occasion. The king was actuated entirely by dynastic considerations, unless he also wished to provide the foundries of Cockerill, in which he was the largest shareholder, with a profitable commission. At all events it is quite clear that the Belgian people took no interest or part in the mutter, which was decided by a vote of the states-general at The Hague. The vote being passed, the governments of Britain and Prussia were then invited to make a contribution to the memorial. They complied to a certain-limited extent, tiie British consenting, for their part, to the re-

inoval of certain .French cannon in Wellington’s Belgian fortresses in order to provide the material for the proposed lion. By that time William had decided on jthe of the memorial. It was to be the erection of an enormous mound some 200 feet above the crest of Mont ‘St*. Jean, at the spot where his son, the prince of Orange, had been wounded, the mound to be crowned by the Lion of the Netherlands. The clay for the mound was brought from the steep sides of the famous “sunken road,” which disappeared in the process, by women of the district, who were paid at the rate of half a franc a basket, and the site marked by Wellington’s tree was included within the radius of the elevation —so that when the duke revisited the scene in 1829 with his daughter-in-law, Lady Douro, he made the expressive comment, “My battlefield has been spoilt.” Legend of the Lion’s Tail. The memorial, completed in 1828, had been in existence two years when the Belgian revolution broke out in August, 1830. A year later a French army advanced to Louvain to repel a Dutch invasion. It was said that some of the French corps in that advance crossed the field and took offense, not at the ipound or the lion, but at the shape of its tail, which, erect in the aln, seemed to express defiance! The story went on to say that in their wrath they broke off the tail, and that the complaisant Belgians supplied the lion with a new one, no longer erect, but made gracefully dependent. I went to considerable pains in 1901 to show that this legend coukpiave no real basis, because the contemporary drawings in the Brussels Museum of Prints showed the Hon being hoisted into its position with the tall In precisely the same form as it wears today. There is no evidence of any change having been made at that time or any other. In December, 1832, the French army rendered a second signal service to the Belgian people by the siege and capture of the Antwerp citadel, and once more a French regiment traversed the acene without doing any damage. A proposal was then made in the Belgian chamber by a patriotic leader, M. Gendebien, to the effect that the national gratitude should be evinced by the removal of the lion monument altogether. He called it, and justly, as has been shown, “the hateful emblem of the despotism and violence which made u» subject fo r 15 years to the humiliating yokewhlch we cast off in,

September, 1830.” I could not ask for a more authoritative corroboration of my view that the Lion is a monument to Dutch megalomania without any reference to Britons or Belgians whatever. Certainly the Belgians would never have thought of erecting such a memorial to themselves, and as to this country, it is not its way. It Is quite clear, then, that the mere reversal of the lion’s position affords no adequate solution to the problem of satisfying those Fiench sentiments which M. Saintine expressed 90 years ago, and which I do not doubt are still entertained. Once the matter Is taken Into consideration, there can be no dispute that the position and the pose of the lion are offensive and provocative to the French people, who, on three historic occasions in less than a century, have contributed of their best and bravest to the saving of Belgian Independence.

WORKS OF ART PRESERVED

Art World Interested in Uncovering of Old Paintings In the Mosque of Saint Sophia. An important result that may be looked for whenever Constantinople ind the mosque of St. Sophia pass from under the control of the Turks Is the verification of a belief, not generally known, that the Interior walls jf the building still hold in practically perfect condition the ornamentation with which the Byzantine artists decorated them, says a writer in Christian Science Monitor. The statement is made with convincing detail by the (talian architect. Fossatl, who was employed by Sultan Abdu-ul-Mejid to put the mosque In complete repair.' To do this work Fossatl removed the matting that lined the walls and took lown the huge disks, covered with Arabic inscriptions, that here and there jrnamented them; and behind these roverings he found the work of the undent Byzantines. Hagla Saphla, taken 3y the Turks in 1453, was converted to their own uses by the addition of minarets and by covering the walls, the religion of its new possessors forbidding them to make or destroy any picture or statue of man. Fossatl, with the ancient glories of the Christian ediQce temporarily uncovered, made the notes for his book, and painted colored facsimiles of some of the mosaics; then he sealed them from view by replacing the coverings.

He Might.

In summer time the boy scouts roll down their socks and follow the Scottish custom of cool knees. Down at Camp Kinneuma, in Sullivan county, the scout executive, who Is bQth very tall and very boyish, follows the custom of his boys. It Is picturesque and the grown-up visitors understand it, but the other night a tiny girl did not. She stared at the executive most of the time of her visit. Then when the family started home she turned to her her father. “The chief of the scouts is terribly tall, Isn’t he?” she asked. “Yes,” answered mother. “I suppose other men’s pants would be too short for him," she continued. “But don’t you believe that if he saved up a lot of money, mother, he could find a pair long enough for Sundays so his knees wouldn’t show?" —Indianapolis News. <

Detects Concrete Defects.

An x-ray outfit for inspecting concrete ships is stated by A. C. Freeman to weigh about 90 pounds. The radiographs taken by the apparatus are expected to show whether the concrete mixture has been kept uniform and compact; to detect any holes or voids In the structure; and to reveal any displacement of the reinforcing material. Such defects, when brought to notice in time, can be remedied before the work is completed.

Blank Expressions.

Flatbush —I see a recent invention is a hand telephone with a push button in one side with which telegraphing can be done. Bensonhurst —Good ! Now when the voice with a smile tells you the line Is still busy, yotl can use the telegraph button and make a number of blank .narks. The owner of the voice with a smile will know what the blanks mean, all right.

THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

Cardinal Gibbons Asks Aid For Starving Armenians

Relief will make to the country in February for funds to sumiort Its work among the starving proples of that stricken land. To the Washington meeting he wrote: “Advices and Information coming from the Near East cannot be doubted. There is great actual suffering and famine. These people, recently become Independent and released from bitter thraldom, cannot support themselves. And the Christian and common Instincts of humanity which have prompted the people of the United States during the last two years to relieve the distress and needs, especially of the Near East, must not be'allowed to grow cold and be diminished. “I hope we shall all unite In this present emergency and be able to collect sufficient funds to enable these peoples to live and work until next summer brings them permanent relief and subsistence. I call upon all to respond generously to the appeal now being made and trust that the committee will be gratified with the results.”

THE PASSING OF FENCE POSTS You have read of the world’s greatest war: the only war in history where soil was destroyed, tho only war where whole forests were blown into atoms —branch, trunk and root.. Hundreds of ships are being loaded with lumber and wood at American ports consigned to Europe. Ask your dealer today for the price of hard oak flooring. Where are our forests of 15 years ago? Where does the timber line end, where does the prairie begin. Yet a few days and spring is at your door. Get into your auto and take a ride for observation. Start at Rensselaer and go west on the county farm road to Mt. Ayr. As you cross Curtis creak 1% miles east of Mt. Ayr you wih notice the timber ends and the prairie begins. A prairie that stretches away to the state line and across Illinois and up into lowa and Nebraska. Of course, you: will see some little streaks of timber along rivers now and then. But here, just east of Mt. Ayr, ends what was once that great forest region that went east warn across Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York. If you want oak lumber get it now. If you want the last good crop of fine burr and white oak posts, the kind that will last, remember that 1920 is your last good chance to get them on the stone road two miles east of Mt, Ayr. The best oak posts you ever saw. You cannot get them next year. Many wise men got theirs. Some of you will surely be like the foolish virgins and come too late. If you want posts at all within the next five years buy them now. The 'price is not high yet. It is higher than last year. They will be higher yet in 90 days. Cut out the dealer’s profit—buy direct. Only 30,000 posts left, and more than 1,000 <m|en want 100 each. Benton county will get the balance soon. Railroad almost at our door. Some of you will give me a long distance call too late. —EVERETT HALSTEAD. —Advt.
