We had a pleasant evening togeth er, nevertheless, for my host proved to be a man of rare laformation. and we had an aftermath of talk over coffee and cigars that lasted far into the r.ght. But not a word did my host say concerning hig domestic relations, and though 1 was very eurfous to know whether the beautiful girl | had seen was the Don's wife, I could not well guestion him. especially as mar. riage between -a foreigner and a na tive girl is not regarded with favor fn Honduras. The next morning I arose immedi ately after the coftee and rolls, which are served in the bedroom at about seven in the morning in Honduranian hotseholds, and strolled ocut into the garden. = . i

1 saw a girl picking flowers. and went over .to her to say my “'Buenos dias, Senorita!” She was an exceedingly pretty girl, but hérs was not the face that had so excited my interest on the previous day. However, 1 had scarcely exchanged a few compliments before my vision appeared, and a vision of loveliness she was indeed! Rosa was her appropriate name, for like a Spanish rose she seemed, to which the dark flush of Indian blood but lent an additional charm. The rame of her pretty companion: was Theresa, and the girls, I discovered, were sisters, and had been brought up and educated in Guatemala city, where tliey learned to speak English in a somewhat broken but altogether charming manner. Naturally, with this common link between us We Soon were on very friendly terms. We wandered about the garden among the beautiful flowers, and erelong some call took Theresa indoors, and I was left alone with Rosa. o ' I knew that one of these girls niust be the wife of my German host, and I would have given worlds to Kkrow which one, but delicacy forbade my questioning Rosa on this. So we strolled onward until we came to an inviting arbor covered with roses, and Lere we seated ourselves and ‘breathed in the deliclous c¢>olness and fragrance of the ruorning.

Its food consists, in\a very large degree, of rats and mice, and it is the quest of such vermin which brings it about human habitations, where the pestiferous rodents often swarm. True this little owl sometimes ‘takes small birds, but they are frequently English sparrows, for which he is entitled to almost as much credit as for his rat destruction. The ordinary note of this species is a longdrawn, tremulous whistle, which can be imitated sufficiently well to call the owl to close quarters. It has, however, a varied repertoire of notes, that ‘heard in the stillness of the night, are ‘almost blood-curdling. It is an interesting fact that this bird has two | phases of plumage—red and gray—‘assumed without regard to sex or ege or the color of parentg™

Mrs, Pell who Is the daugier of Col. Robert Fhompson of New York, 18 the wife of Stephen H P Pell a prominent New York banker Hoth her hushand and father are interested In seeing her project carried through to a success tul eosclusion and are alding U in every way possible. Members of the New York lake Champlain tercen: tenary commission are also deeply in terested ‘n Mrs. Roll's plan to restore the old fort, and have mecorded her representatives every possilile consideration with regard te the arrange ment of the celebration exercises as regards Ticonderoga. Alfred C. Bos som of New York city, who is the architect in charge of the work for Mrs Pell estimates that the work of completely restoring the fort will oc cupy- a 4 period of ten years and the estimated cost has been placed at $5OOOOO. . After a conference with the membears of the New York Lake Champlain tercentenary commission it was decided fhat it would be best to con: centrate the work of restoration upos ‘that Butlding known as the “west har racks” and this has been done. » To insure absolute accuracy in the restoration of the fort, Mr Bossom spent a considerable perfod of time in personal examination of old records and printa in the possession of the French and English governments, and now has representatives in those coun triex carefully going over each minor detail of construction. Thus far, how ever, the drchitect and his workers have found the fort {tseif as thoroughIy & reliable guide to its reconstrue tion as could be wished, for when the debris {3 cleared away from the line of a wall the oldfashioned door hangers, locks and knobs are found where they dropped to the ground as the place gradually fell to decay. Many of these old articles are used as mod els for the construction of new and strong replicas at the hands of skilled artisans. Probably one of the most interesting finds was a roll of home spun cloth in a fairly good state of preservation despite its long imter ment. Beneath the old Pell mansion, which is situated on the lake shore jus below the site of the fort, and whiech {s also being restored to its former grandeur, an interesting old bull's-eye watch was found soon after the work

Hale’s Preaching and Practice

Senator Carter tells the Baltimore Sun a story of which Senator Hale 011 Maine {g the hero. : | “Hale wanted everybody here in these evening sessions that have beenl abandoned,” said Senator Carter, “and urged all the new men to be diligent. A senator who had come over from service in the house, begged a dinner engagement one night and told Senator Hale he couldn't break it. Senator Hale spent ten minutes in impressing the necessity of attendance upon the new man, who yielded and declined: his invitation at the last moment. = “Late that night after adjournment the new senator made his weary way. to his room and found his wife just back from the dinner. “‘Have a good time? he inquired politely. ‘ “ ‘Delightful,’ same the answer, ‘lt was a lovely dinner. “*“Who took you in?' casually asked the husband. _ ; . “‘Senator Hale,’ replied the ' wife, brightly.

The records show that Fort Ticonderoga was a “star” fort, and the excavations now going forward bear out the records in this resgpect. g ’ On the up of the tongue of land which Fort Ticonderoga was bulit’ to command siands sl that remains of the grenadier battery, as it is Known lncally about Fort Tieonderoga, though {here seems 1o be no real reason for its being given thia name In 1758 the French began the erection of a furt on the present gite of Fort Ticon deroga, which they named Fort Carillon, & name meaning ‘a chime of bells” and referring to the music of & nearby waterfal! 18 strength this fortross was second only 1o Quebec, but in 1759 the Englirh had gained 80 in numbeérs and the Frepch had been weakened so by their campaign in Canada that the Egglish under com: mand of Gen. Amherst, were able to drive théem from the stronghald and force them from the Champlain valle¥. The year hefore Abercrombie, commanding 15,000 troops, had made &n assault upon the stronghold which was - succeasfully repufred by Mont calm, commanding 4000 troops Gen: Ambherst, following the evacuation of the fort by the French, repaired apd rebuilt {t, for before leaving they had destroyed as much a= possible of the fortification. The rebuilt fort was ehiristened Ticonderoga and was held by the FEnglish until {ts eapture on May 16, 1775, by Ethan Allen and his little company of Green mountain boys. . “History throughout all these years has credited Allen with. demanding the surrender of the fort “In the name of the Great Jehovah and the cont!l‘pental congress” and in this connec tion the investigations of Mrs. Pell's representatives must prove s severe shock, for according to) them Allen did not use the choice language with which history has credited him Ao cording: to Alfred . Bossom, the architect, who has pergonally examined many records of the surrender and has talked with descendants of men who were with Allen on the night of that memorable May 10, the “Robin Hood of New England” as Allen has gometimes been styled, satled across the lake from Larrabee's point in the dead of the night, landing with his small command of. 83 men at Willow point, on the west shore of the lake about a haif mile north of where the old Pell mansion now stands. Crossing what s now the garden of the old mansion he went down a flight of stone steps and along an underground passage admitting to a rear entrance on the east side of the fort. Through a sally-port he made his way into the fort proper. In the parade ground Allen divided his small command into two parts, lining one up at the east and the other at the west end. He then climbed the stalrs to the second story of the west bar racks and walked along the balcony to the last door at the southern end. Before this door he made his demand }for the surrender of the fort.—Louis E. Shattuck. - ' ¢

If the underiving rock is a congiomerate or sandstone resid usl soll will be composed of polhing butl sand and gravel which is capable of supparting only & lnited variety of vegetable lite . , it 18 fortunate however that these barren sandsione ridges alternate with the rocks of different characier whose Alsintegration produces a residoal soll of remarkable fertility, From one end to the other of the Appalachian chain of mountains outcrops of limestone appear {n lines horizontal to those of the sandatone autorops, such ns are cut through by the Iwlaware, the leligh, the Susquehanna, the Potomae and other rivers fus! belors reaching the Atiantic coast plain. These Hmestones rontain all the elementa required by the higher class of vegetation., and the thin residual sofl over them has fur nished the baxis for some of the most prosperous communities of the coun try. The celebrated Wryoming valley on the Susquehanna, the Shenandeah valiey In Virginia -and that of the ap per Tennessee are jlusirations of the agricultiral wealth which is supplied by the disintegration of llmestons rocks. | In numerous places in central Pennavivania as in the mountains south of Witliamsport, there are Hmit ad outerops of limestone over which have sprung ‘up fourishing communt ties surrounded by barfren sandstone mountains, as islands are surrounded by water in the sea. S The bine grass region 'n Kentucky {5 similariy situated, being bordered by barren outcrops of Devonfan subcarboniferous conglomerates and sandstones, while the thin covering of soll resulting from the disintegration’ of the Silurian limestone supports 8 veg etation which furnishes the elements most necessary for the best develop ment of cattle and horses, and so in considerable measure accounts for the preeminence of that region in those departments of industry. It would not be strange, also, if the preemInence clalmed by the Kentucklans for the beauty ‘of their women and the strong physigque of their men were due to this gift from nature of a richly endowed limestone soil , The agricultyral richness of Pales tine is traceable to a simliar cause. Boil there which wduld seem Lo a west ern farmer worthless, produces the finest vineyards and the most fourish ing olive grovea because the diSinte gration constantly going on o the fragments of limestone rock that cover the surface annually supplies the elements needed for these most {mportant ministers to human need. But 8o limited are the deposits of rock containing the concéntrated elements of fertility that an undue por tlon of the world would be barren, {f 1t were not that pature is provided with elaborate means of tragsporiation, wherehy the richness of ofie sec tion is carried to another, resultling inta commingling of elements, which is of the highest advantage. During the long geological ages water, fce and air had beéen engaged in transporting and depositing in distant regions the residual solls which were accumulat ing thousands of years before man came upon the scene. The flood-plains of nearly all rivers are rich in agricultural possibilities because they have brought to them the elements of soil supplied by the entire river basin. The Mississipsd wvalley from Cairo to the gulf is a deposit of sediment to which the whole upper portion, extending from the Rocky to the Allegheny

Auto Trip Through Arabia

David Forbes, an Englishman, with a A Party, Is the First to Make Tour. .

Bagdad, and the journey consumed | nine days. It takes the ordinary traveler three days to drive from Alexandretta to Aleppo. ¥nd from there to Bagdad it is 21 days by caravan. The trip is not a safe one to take. Forbes had a party of five, an English chauffeur, an Assyrian mechanic, a Bagdaa cook, an Arab and himself, and traveled in an ordinary 40-horsepower touring car. Gasoline was sent ahead to the caravan stations, and it took 136 gallons for the trip. It is said the motor used a gallon in 12 miles, which seems improbable, but allowing ten miles to the gallon the journey was | 1,960 miles, and this was done entirely l withous mapa The irrigation ditches
