Rock-Hewn Roadway of Capri.

(Prepared br th National Geographic Society. Washington. I) C Ca)ri, once the beautiful island pleasure home of Roman emperors, lies like an hour-glass on its side in the blue waters of the Hay of XajiJes. 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 Itotnans 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 crags, terra eed hills, the blue sea ruflled white among half-covered rocks; incomparable 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 lias complained that the scenery is "too much like tbeater curtains come to life." Nevertheless, every person who arrives at Naples under fair skies and beholds this littoral for the Jirst time must Ik affected by its loveliness. Capri Is an esthetic wonder of the world. Its area Is but six square miles; but surely nowhere else in the world are so much loveliness and so many interesting things packed in so little space. Artists have always flocked to Capri, eah year bringing a fresh brood, confident in Its ability to paint the unpaintable cliffs and sea. Some of these lingered on. some to marry the handsome Capri girls, and Howell's Kng!ihman who came to the island for three months and stayed for thirty years i not a unique case In this respect. The fame of the Itlue Crotto has made Capri a show-place, and for upward of a hundred years, day after day, the tide of seasick tourists has flowed and ebbed. Iti 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 Is true that the Capri women gave up wearing their costume thirty years ago; that the old (I reek forms have dropped out of the island sptveh ; that the old days have gone forever; but, despite this, there has been a gain In convenience and comfort of living for both Capresi and foreigners, even at a loss of picturesqueness. and the comforting fact remains th.tt Capri's beauty N rugged and perennial, not to be destroyed by man. Acquired by Augustus. Capri was the tirM point in Campania where the Greeks obtained a foothold, and Augustus poMbly did a far-sighted thing by securing it for the empire in 15. C. 'JO. thus preventing its seizure by enemies r by pirates, 't here was certainly the matter f pirates to be considered. They have always been a pest i.f the Mediterranean. At the time f Pt'tnpey's i.vlebrated campaign airair.st the Mediterranean pirates. 7 B. C. they were well organized arid intrenched: thy had naval stations and leaon towers in various places. Ontario later the Knglish actually did seize Capri, in lvX;. and called It the 'i.iltle ;ibr:iltar." They might hae held it. perhaps, to this, day but for the l!l luck and Incompetence of Cel. Hudui Lowe. later Nap!e.ns jailer at St. Helena. The ruin f the Capri Pharos, the ancient lighthouse, so cbvt to the largest of the ruined palaces on Capri. Is a paramount point In the archaeology of the inland. The selection of Capri by Augustus was nio-sr likely biased to a considerable degree b the fact that it vas ideally situated for the Pharos. This was one of the mos Important lighthouses of antiquity.

Thu existing lower portion of the Capri structure is a mass of burned Roman brick, 40 feet square and ."0 fet 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 prolvlematlcal. It may have had two or three stories. The tower at Boulogne had several stories and was 'J00 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,(MMJ 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 Koine. We know that the ancients signaled in various ways and over long distances. They signaled by beacon lires, by beacon smoke, by pigeons, by Hags, and by shouting from one sentinel to another. Possibly the Publica acta (Senate Journal) and the Ditirna acta (authorized news) wer? sent to Capri by signal instead of by messenger. We can conceive 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 cot no money to operate, would be easy to use, and by it long signals could be sent. Under the practical rule of the Hornaus, beacon signaling was doubtless somewhat advanced and by It long signals could be sent, perhaps by making the beacon Hare up by adding periodically small quantities of oil. This is a mere surmise, without basis other than the gener;l advanced character of Kornau civilization, which lacked little we have today. The Hornaus were not artistic, but they were wonderful mechanics, hydraulic engineers, sanitary engineers ami 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 Hornau 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 Home and Capri Is ISO miles too long for direct signaling; but if we look along the coast 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 Solan l.!0 feet. Signals were probably not sent from here, but from the eastern headland. The Pharos was about 1,( feet above sea level. A line drawn from the Pharos to Monte Cireeo. on the Campanian coast, just grazes the Island of Ischla; but the line of sight would be well above the island, as the summit of Circeo is 1.77." feet. Favorite Home of Emperors. The fact that Augustus and Tiberius made Capri their special retreat gives if 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-uig administrators, whose labors established the supremacy of the Homan empire and brought about a wonderful period of peace unequaled in history. lefore 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 w?is the almost Invariable end of greatness. After these towering personalities. Capri drops out of history and for some reason does not seeui to have been patronizi! further by the imperial family. Hut though Capri was never revisted by the emperors, the Pharos still juided the precious grain t'eets through the channel between the island and the mainland for mtny centuries.

Chief Source of Highly Important Article of Commerce Is the Islands . of the Mediterranean. Few people who use sponges ever give a thought as to how they are obtained. icys a correspondent in the London I;aily Mail. The finest qualities and largest quantities of our sponges come irom thet Mediterranean the chief grounds being off the Creek and Turkish Islands thencv tliiou-h the IardaueJ!es to the Sea of Marmora, and so along the const of Asiat'"? Turkey and Syria to Cyprus. Here the sponges are brought tip by divers, either stripped or attired in full diving costume. When sponges" first reach the surface they present a fleshy-looking appearance, the sabStance being covered with a firm skin, or membrane, in which apertures appear and disappear seemingly at the animals will. When cut, the interior is somewhat like raw meat in appearance, being intersveted by numerous canals and cavities. The cavities are filled with a sticky fluid of greyishbrown color, termed i'milk." This is the only living portion of the animal, ami must needs be removed immediately; otherwise putrefaction speedily sets itr and destroys the elastic ir.it are of tie sponge. If this operation is not performed on board before the vessel reaches shore, the filled sponge bags are dispatched with all speed to the gathering grounds. There the t'uid is removed and various cleaning , and bleaching provsses 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 the 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, 1S7J, there was a solemn procession from the Church of San demente to the Coliseum in Home, carrying the relics of Saint Ignatius, the disciple of St. John and companion of Polyearp, 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 11Ö Christians were shot down by arrows was marked, until 1ST-, by a cross which was then destroyed. "The dealings of the authorities with that ancient monument ha.e been neither merciful nor tender." says an article in Cotnhill (London). "Nature has clothed its ruined walls with an exquisite veil of greenery; a llora so marvelous and interesting that books had been written on its 41 mi varieties, a few of which were so rare 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 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 a beautiful passage about the fiower in one of Huskin's letters. "Von 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 purposes of its own. "Hut 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 Mowers." 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. Hut the H. C. L. has even reached Java, and the number of wives Iirs, on that account, been cut down to a great degree. If a nobleman marries beneath him he does not bother to go to the ceremony, but very kindly semis his sword or his hat to represent him. Wolverine Always a Pest. The wolverine is found ail around the world, but most commonly north of the fiftieth parallel of latitude. It ifl as common in Siberia as 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 folhr.v up a trapper's line of traps, spring them cunningly without being caught, and 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 b almost iiniMissihle to make a cache of food inaccessible to the wolverine's powerful teeth and claws.
