Rock-Hewn Roadway of Capri.
(Prpared br th National GHraphlc Society, Washington. D. C.) Capri, once the beautiful island pleasure home of Kornau emperors, lies like an hour-glass on its side in the blue waters of the Hay of Naples. The glamor of its old associations still persists, but its appeal to the many tourists who now swarm to its shores Is the same, no doubt, as that which drew great Romans to It Its delightful climate, neither stimulating nor enervating, and its wonderful scenery of land and sea and sky. Capri Itself Is overflowing with strange interest and beauty crngs, terraced hills, the blue sea ruffled white among half-covered rocks; lncomparaMo sunsets; and among all of nature's beauties the scattered works of man from the ruins of ancient marble palaces to modern villas. Only a few miles across the sapphire bay Naples and the Neapolitan coast are spread out in all their bewildering features.' One writer has described Capri and the neighboring coast as more like a miracle than an accident of nature, while another has complained that the scenery is "too much like theater curtains come to life." Nevertheless, every person who arrives at Naples under fair skies and beholds this littoral for the first time must Ik? affected by Its loveliness. Capri Is an esthetic wonder of the world. Its area Is hut six square miles; but surely nowhere else in the world are so much loveliness ami so many interesting things packed in so little space. Artists have always flocked to Capri, each year bringing a fresh brood, rontldent in Its ability to paint the unpalntable cliffs and sea. Some of these lingered on. some to marry the handsome Capri girls, and Howell's Kngllshman who came to the Island for three months and stayed for thirty years is not a unhpiv case In this respect. The fame of the Ilue Crotto has made Capri a show-place, and for upward of a hundred years, day after da, the tide of seasick tourists has flowed and ebbed. In spite of these dally caravans, however In spite of the Anacaprl road, the Funicular road, the Strada Krupp, much tasteless villa-building, and before the war the vast hordes of Cermans, Capri is still essentially unspoiled. It U true that the Capri women gave up wearing their costume thirty years ago; that the old Creek forms have dropped out of the island speech; that the old days have gone forever; but, despite this, there has been a gain In convenience and comfort of living for both Capresl and foreigners, even at a loss of plcturesqueness, and the comforting fact remains that Capri's beauty is merged and perennial, not to be destroyed by man. Acquired by Augustus. Capri was the first point in Campania where the (Ireeks obtained a foothold, and Augustus possibly did a far-sighted thing by securing it for the empire in 1. C. - thus prevent ing its seizure by enemies or by plrato. There was certainly the matter of pirates to be considered. They have always been a pet of the Mediterranean. At the time of Pompey's celebrated campaign against the Mediterranean pirates. 07 Ii. C. they were well organized and intrenched; they had naval stations and Nacon towers in various places. Centuries later the Cnlih artuaJSy did seize Capri, in IftV.. and called it the "Little Cibraltar." They might have held it. perhaps, to this day but for the ill luck and Incompetence of Col. Hudson Lowe, later Napoleon's jailor at St. Helena. The ruin of the Capri Pharos, the ancient lighthouse, so close to the largest of the ruined palaces on Capri, is a paramount p.Mnt in the archaeology of the island. The selection of Capri by Augustus was most likely biased to a considerable degre by the fact that It nis ideally situated for the Pharos. This was one of the most Important lighthouses of antiquity.
i .If
Tht- existing lower portion of the Capri structure is a mass of burned Roman brick, 40 feet square and .r0 feet high, sufficiently conspicuous to show in photographs taken from Monte Solare, at the other end of the island, two miles away. Its original appearance Is entirely problematical. It may have had two or three stories. The tower at Boulogne had several stories and was 200 feet high. The Capri tower was not any higher than this, and in all probability not so high, as the elevation of the headland Is about 1,000 feet above the sea. It Is one of the most valuable and Interesting ruins on the entire island. May Have Had Wireless System. It takes no great stretch of the Imagination to believe that Capri was a signal station an imperial wireless station of ancient Home. We know that the ancients signaled in various ways and over long distances. They signaled by beacon fires, by beacon smoke, by pigeons, by flags, and by shouting from one sentinel to another. Possibly the Publica acta (Senate Journal) and the.Diurna acta (authorized news) were sent to Capri by signal instead of by messenger. We can con ceive that such a system, organized most likely under Augustus, must have operated very smoothly after some years of experience and practice. The mirror system would cost no money to operate, would be easy to use, and' by it long signals could be sent. Under the practical rule of the Kornaus, beacon signaling was doubtless somewhat advanced and by it long signals could be sent, perhaps by making the beacon flare up by adding periodically small quantities of oil. This Is a mere surmise, without basis other than the general advanced character of Koman civilization, which lacked little we have today. The Kornaus were not artistic, but they were wonderful mechanics, hydraulic engineers, sanitary engineers and great builders of all kinds of structures and highways. They had water pumps. They had perfected shorthand writing. The old writers do not tell us very much of Roman culture. None of them mentions a certain famous surgical instrument found at Pompeii, but It Is there just the same. The distance in an air line between Rome and Capri is 130 miles too long for direct signaling; but If we look along the const of the Tyrrhenian sea we find numerous mountains affording points where the signals could be relayed. The frequency of the relaying would depend on the conditions. The highest point on Capri Is Monte Sola ro l.flsx) feet. Signals were probably not sent from here, but from the eastern headland. The Pharos was about !, feet above pea level. A line drawn front the Pharos to Monte Circeo. on the Campanian coast, just grazes the Island of Iscnla; but the line of sight would be well above the island, as the summit of Circeo is 1,770 feet. Favorite Home of Emperors. The fact that Augustus and Tiberius made Capri their special retreat gives it a oeep and lasting significance. The Island was the favorite home of them and their families for nearly seventy years. They are the two greatest executives in history ruling consecutively both clear-headed, hard-work-Lng administrators, whose labors established the supremacy of the Roman empire and brought about a wonderful period of peace uncqualcd in history, liefere or since. They both lived long, full lives and died natural deaths In an age when murder or enforced suicide or violent death of some sort uas the almost Invariable end of greatness. After thee towering personalities. Capri drops out of history and for seme reason Joes not seem to have been patronized further by the Im. perial family. Rut though Capri uns never revisted by the emperors, the Pharos still guided the precious grain fleets through the channel between the island and the mainland for mmy centuries.
Chief Source of Highly Important Article of Commerce Is the Island' of the Mediterranean. Few people who use sponges ever give a thought as to how they are obtained, says a correspondent In the London Daily Mail. The finest qualities and largest quantities of oar sponges vonie from the Mediterranean the . ehieT grounds luring off the Creek and Turkish islands thomv through the Dardanelles to the Sea of Marmora, and so along the coast of Asiatic Turkey and Syria to Cyprus. Here the sponges are brought up by divers, either stripped or attired in full diving costume. When sponges first reach the surface they prcM-rit n fleshy-looking appearance, the substance being covered with a lino skin, or membrane, in which apertinvs appear and disappear seemingly at the animal's will. When cut, the interior is somewhat like raw. meat in appearance, being intersected by numerous canals and cavities. The cavities are filled with a sticky fluid of greyishbrown color, termed "milk." This is the only living portion of the animal, and must needs be removed immediately; otherwise putrefaction speedily sets in and destroys the elastic nature of the sponge. If this operation is not performed on board before the vessel reaches sbore. the filled sponge bags are dispatched with all speed to the gathering grounds. There the fluid is removed and various cleaning and bleaching processes transform the "raw" sponge into a beautiful lemon-yellow color. This done, the sponges pass to other hands for trimming to shape, and later they go to tin graders, who sort them according to quality and size. The next process is that of drying, after which they are weighed and packed ready for shipment.
DAMAGE DONE TO COLISEUM English Writer Criticizes Action of the Authorities in Removing Ivy From the Walls. For many centuries down to February 1, 3S7-, there was a solemn procession from the Church of San demente to the Coliseum in Rome, carrying the relics of Saint Ignatius, the disciple of St. John and companion of Polycarp, around the scene where on that date he had been devoured by lions as the first of the martyrs of the Coliseum. The spot where shortly after his death llo Christians were shot down by arrows was marked, until 1S72, by a cross which was then destroyed. "The dealings of the authorities with that ancient monument have been neither merciful nor tender," says an article In Cornhill (London). "Nature has clothed its ruined walls with an exquisite veil of greenery; a flora so marvelous and interesting that books had been written on its 400 vaj rieties, a few of which were so rare I that their seeds are supposed to have come in ancient days in the cages of wild beasts from tropical countries. They have all been scraped away, the walls are bare, and more damage has I been done to them by dragging out the roots of the shrubs than might have happened naturally In the course of centuries. Ruskin's "Flower Wedding." There is si beautiful passage about the flower in one of Ruskin's letters. "You will find," he says. "that, in fact, all plants are composed of essentially two parts the leaf and the root one loving the light, the other darkness; one liking to be clean, the other to be dirty; one liking to grow for the most part up, the other for the most part down, and each having faculties and punoses of its own. "Rut the pure one which loves the light has, above all things, the purpose of being married to another leaf, and having child leaves, and children's children of leaves, to make the earth fair forever. And when the leaves marry they put on wedding robes and are more glorious than Solomon in all his glory, and they have feasts of honey, and we call them flowers." Each Man Allowed Four Wives Servants are so inexpensive in Java that even a person in moderate circumstances can afford at least six. Europeans living in India and Java find the luxury of many servants difficult to give up when they go home, and very often stay in the Fast for that very reason. According to the religion of Java, which is Mohammedan, a man is allowed four wives. Rut the H. C. L. has even reached Java, and the number of wives has, on that account, been cut down to a great degree. If a nobleman marries beneath him lie does not bother to go to the ceremony, but ery kindly sends his sword or his hat to represent him. Wolverine Always a Pest. The wolverine is found :0l around the world, but mt commonly north of the fiftieth parallel of latitude. It is as common in Siberia a it is in northern Canada. It is a notorious feeder upon carrion, and is a thief. It robs traps of mink, skunk and other fur-bearing animals, and eats them ravenously. It will follow up a trapper's line of traps, spring them cunningly without being caught, nnd then eat the bait. It will gnaw through the side of a log house to get at the settler's store of food, and it I almost impossible to make a cache of food inaccessM'le to the wolverine' towerful teeth and claws.

Y, PROVISION MADE FOR PETS Seemingly It Is Net Unusual to Make Bequests by Which Animals Benefit. An elderly French spinster died, leaving a will bequeathing most of her property to charity and a substantial sum to "my silent, sympathetic and best-loved friend, Mlnnette." Minnette was her cat. A Frenchman was moved by this incident to investigate the subject and he found that cats, among all animals, have most frequently been made legatees. In H571 a noted player on the harp and flute, Jeanne Felix Dupuls, enjoined her executor to give the keeper of two cats ;0 sous a week for their food, which she specified should be meat broth, "of the kind we ourselves eat, rich and sufficient without being eked out by bread crumbs, and served upon individual plates, belonging one to each cat." Her relatives broke the will, and this provision of separate plates for the pussies was a point upon which they strongly dwelt In the attempt to prove that her mind was enfeebled.
