# The New Student's Reference Work/Lake Dwellings

See also Stilt house on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Lake Dwellings, houses built on platforms supported by piles or posts in the shallows or margins of lakes. From the earliest times there were lake-dwellers in central Europe, and the custom prevailed in Scotland and Ireland to a late day. When the waters of Lake Zürich in Switzerland receded in 1854, the remains of a lake dwelling were discovered at Meilen, and similar relics were found at the mud-bottoms of many Swiss lakes. Since then they have been thoroughly investigated and their existence determined in the stone, bronze and iron ages. Nothing, however, is known of the origin of this mode of life. In the stone age the larger implements were made of hard stone, the smaller of the less plentiful flint. In the bronze age the dwellings seem to have been further out in the water than in the stone age. The pottery is finer and more elegantly ornamented, and the implements and weapons are of bronze. The lake dwellings of Marin are the best known of the iron age. The extent of the settlement was 1,200 by 250 feet. Many articles of fine workmanship in iron have been found here, such as shield-mountains, buckles, bridle bits, hatchets, dice, small objects of bone and Roman and Gallic coins, the latest being of Emperor Claudius, 41 to 54 A. D. The custom of living in water-houses is still practiced among barbarous tribes in the Malayan Archipelago, New Guinea, Venezuela and central Africa. See Munro's Lake Dwellings of Europe.

# The Moon and Sixpence/Chapter XXXVII

THE circumstances of Blanche Stroeve's death necessitated all manner of dreadful formalities, but at last we were allowed to bury her. Dirk and I alone followed the hearse to the cemetery. We went at a foot-pace, but on the way back we trotted, and there was something to my mind singularly horrible in the way the driver of the hearse whipped up his horses. It seemed to dismiss the dead with a shrug of the shoulders. Now and then I caught sight of the swaying hearse in front of us, and our own driver urged his pair so that we might not remain behind. I felt in myself, too, the desire to get the whole thing out of my mind. I was beginning to be bored with a tragedy that did not really concern me, and pretending to myself that I spoke in order to distract Stroeve, I turned with relief to other subjects.
"Don't you think you'd better go away for a bit?" I said. "There can be no object in your staying in Paris now."
He did not answer, but I went on ruthlessly:
"Have you made any plans for the immediate future?"
"No."
"You must try and gather together the threads again. Why don't you go down to Italy and start working?"
Again he made no reply, but the driver of our carriage came to my rescue. Slackening his pace for a moment, he leaned over and spoke. I could not hear what he said, so I put my head out of the window. He wanted to know where we wished to be set down. I told him to wait a minute.
"You'd better come and have lunch with me," I said to Dirk. "I'll tell him to drop us in the Place Pigalle."
"I'd rather not. I want to go to the studio."
I hesitated a moment.
"Would you like me to come with you?" I asked then.
"No; I should prefer to be alone."
"All right."
I gave the driver the necessary direction, and in renewed silence we drove on. Dirk had not been to the studio since the wretched morning on which they had taken Blanche to the hospital. I was glad he did not want me to accompany him, and when I left him at the door I walked away with relief. I took a new pleasure in the streets of Paris, and I looked with smiling eyes at the people who hurried to and fro. The day was fine and sunny, and I felt in myself a more acute delight in life. I could not help it; I put Stroeve and his sorrows out of my mind. I wanted to enjoy.

## The Cap

Written by Noni
Illustrated by Angie & Upesh
​Papa bought Chintu fancy glasses. Mother bought me a bright blue cap. The baby got sugar candy.
​On the way home, a very strong wind came. It blew my cap away.
​My cap got stuck on a branch of the old Pipal tree.
​I cried a lot. And I did not eat my dinner.
​Later that night, the moon came up. It looked at my cap on the old Pipal tree.
​It tried on my cap. The moon smiled happily. I had to smile too.
​After school the next day, my mother gave me a shiny new red cap. “The moon sent it,” she said.
​That night, both the moon and I wore our caps and smiled. We were happy.
​Do you think the sun needs a hat?
​Guess which cap I am wearing today!

# The Moon and Sixpence/Chapter XXXVI

THE next week was dreadful. Stroeve went twice a day to the hospital to enquire after his wife, who still declined to see him; and came away at first relieved and hopeful because he was told that she seemed to be growing better, and then in despair because, the complication which the doctor had feared having ensued, recovery was impossible. The nurse was pitiful to his distress, but she had little to say that could console him. The poor woman lay quite still, refusing to speak, with her eyes intent, as though she watched for the coming of death. It could now be only the question of a day or two; and when, late one evening, Stroeve came to see me I knew it was to tell me she was dead. He was absolutely exhausted. His volubility had left him at last, and he sank down wearily on my sofa. I felt that no words of condolence availed, and I let him lie there quietly. I feared he would think it heartless if I read, so I sat by the window, smoking a pipe, till he felt inclined to speak.
"You've been very kind to me," he said at last. "Everyone's been very kind."
"Nonsense," I said, a little embarrassed.
"At the hospital they told me I might wait. They gave me a chair, and I sat outside the door. When she became unconscious they said I might go in. Her mouth and chin were all burnt by the acid. It was awful to see her lovely skin all wounded. She died very peacefully, so that I didn't know she was dead till the sister told me."
He was too tired to weep. He lay on his back limply, as though all the strength had gone out of his limbs, and presently I saw that he had fallen asleep. It was the first natural sleep he had had for a week. Nature, sometimes so cruel, is sometimes merciful. I covered him and turned down the light. In the morning when I awoke he was still asleep. He had not moved. His gold-rimmed spectacles were still on his nose.

See also Agamemnon on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Agamem′non, the leader of the Greeks in the Trojan war. He was the son or grandson of Atreus, king of Mycenæ, and the most powerful prince in Greece. He and his brother Menelaus married the two daughters of the king of Sparta, Clytemnestra and Helen. When the Trojan Paris carried off Helen, Agamemnon was chosen chief of the forces sent out for her recovery. At Troy, in the ninth year of the war, he quarreled with Achilles over two captive maidens, and almost ruined the Greek cause. After his return from the capture of Troy, he was murdered at a feast by his wife and her lover. His death was afterward avenged by his son Orestes. Agamemnon was worshiped in Sparta as a god.

See also Louis Agassiz on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Agassiz (ăg′a-sē), Louis Jean Rodolphe, a distinguished naturalist, was born at Motiers, Switzerland, May 28, 1807. After years of study he began to write on scientific subjects. His reputation was made by his book, Studies of Glaciers. In 1846 he became professor of zoology and geology at Harvard College. He made explorations in Brazil and in the South Atlantic and Pacific oceans. Agassiz was not merely a learned naturalist, but a great force. He did much by public lectures and by teaching to make natural history popular. He trained many young naturalists who have carried out his methods. He founded the Agassiz Museum of Comparative Zoology at Harvard College. His Methods of Study in Natural History and Contributions to the Natural History of the United States are his most popular works. He died at Cambridge. Mass., Dec. 14, 1873.
His son, Alexander (1835–1910), also a distinguished naturalist and writer, was from 1874 to 1897 chief curator of the Museum of Comparative Zoology at Cambridge, Mass.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Agate

See also Agate on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Ag′ate is a kind of chalcedony. Its colors are arranged in bands, but sometimes form spots, clouds and often stains like moss, when it is called the moss agate. By boiling the stone in a syrup and then in an acid the beautiful colors can be made brighter. Agates take a high polish and are cut into brooches, seals and bracelets, and used in mosaic work. They are found in Egypt, Germany, Scotland, South America, the United States and other parts of the world. In this country moss agates abound in Wyoming, Nevada and other points; small banded agates of great beauty are numerous on the shores of Lake Superior, and also in western Texas, where large specimens are plentiful. The agate marble is a name known to every boy, though most of these marbles are cheap glass imitations. Agate was prized by the ancients, mention being frequently made in history of onyx, the black and white banded agate, and of sardonyx, the red and white.

# The New Student's Reference Work/Agave

See also Agave on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
* AGAVE
Agave (ā-gā′vē). A genus of plants of the amaryllis family, whose numerous species are peculiar to the warm and dry regions of America. Along with forms of cactus and yucca, agave forms the characteristic American desert vegetation. One of the species, the American aloe, has received the fanciful name of Century Plant, from the mistaken notion that it must be a hundred years old before it blooms.
It is a native of Mexico and Central America. In native soils the plant usually blooms in its seventh or eighth year, but in hothouses it rarely blooms until it is from 40 to 60 years old; whence arises the story that they flower ​only once in a hundred years. After flowering the plant dies down to the ground and new plants spring up from the roots. It has no stem proper, or a very short one, bearing a crowded head of large fleshy leaves, which are spiny at the edge. From the midst of these shoots up the straight, upright scape, 24 to 36 feet high, and at the base frequently a foot through, along which are lance-like flower branches, ending in clusters of blossoms often numbering 4,000 flowers.
Although agaves are decorative plants in the United States and Europe, in their native home in Mexico they are among the most useful plants. There they are called maguey, and are a regular farm crop and valued highly. Some of the species supply fiber which is used in making rope, cordage, matting, clothing, thread, hammocks, bagging, burlap and other coarse textile stuffs, and the old Mexicans used it to make a coarse paper. Its introduction on our arid western plains is highly recommended, for it will grow-in the dry lands of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and southern California. When pasturage is scarce the leaves are cut up and fed to cattle. From some of the species soap is made, while the two most common Mexican drinks, pulque and mescal, are obtained from still others. When the young flower-bud is cut out, the sap keeps on flowing into the cavity. This juice is quite sweet. It is gathered daily and fermented, and becomes the great Mexican drink known as pulque. It is milky, sour and bad smelling, looking like thin buttermilk, and has a rank taste; yet even Americans soon find it agreeable and refreshing. A distilled liquor is also made from it. The unfermented maguey, called honey-water, is used as a substitute for milk.

​Agesilaus (ä-ges′ĭ-lā′ŭs), one of the most warlike of the kings of Sparta. Though not the lawful heir, he became king in 398 B. C., and reigned 38 years. He was small, lame and mean-looking, but had a wonderful amount of energy. His first war against the Persians, whom he defeated in Asia Minor, led to his forming the project of entering the heart of the Persian Empire, which Alexander the Great afterward carried out. But he had to give up the attempt in order to defend Sparta against her enemies at home. In the later years of his life Sparta lost her power, but he remained faithful, and devoted his fortune to her service. He died at the age of eighty on the coast of Africa, while returning from a last effort against his enemy, Persia.

Having driven the French cavalry by strategy into a swamp, Henry V turned his archers upon them and almost annihilated them. The fugitives threw the army into confusion, and the battle of three of four hours ended in a terrible defeat for the French. More than 10,000 French were killed, including many princes and nobles, while the English lost only 600. This decisive battle so crippled the power of France that Henry V soon had control of the entire kingdom.

# The Listeners (de la Mare)

Walter John de la Mare, (25 April 1873 – 22 June 1956) was an English poet, short story writer and novelist, probably best remembered for his works for children and "The Listeners".
Text taken from online transcript, Louis Untermeyer, ed. (1885–1977). Modern British Poetry. 1920.
'Is there anybody there?' said the Traveller,  Knocking on the moonlit door; And his horse in the silence champed the grasses  Of the forest's ferny floor: And a bird flew up out of the turret,  Above the Traveller's head And he smote upon the door again a second time;  'Is there anybody there?' he said. But no one descended to the Traveller;  No head from the leaf-fringed sill Leaned over and looked into his grey eyes,  Where he stood perplexed and still. But only a host of phantom listeners  That dwelt in the lone house then Stood listening in the quiet of the moonlight  To that voice from the world of men: Stood thronging the faint moonbeams on the dark stair,  That goes down to the empty hall, Hearkening in an air stirred and shaken  By the lonely Traveller's call. And he felt in his heart their strangeness,  Their stillness answering his cry, While his horse moved, cropping the dark turf,  'Neath the starred and leafy sky; For he suddenly smote on the door, even  Louder, and lifted his head:- 'Tell them I came, and no one answered,  That I kept my word,' he said. Never the least stir made the listeners,  Though every word he spake Fell echoing through the shadowiness of the still house  From the one man left awake: Ay, they heard his foot upon the stirrup,  And the sound of iron on stone, And how the silence surged softly backward,  When the plunging hoofs were gone.

# The Outbreak and the Causes
## Part I. Austria and Serbia
### I. The Tragedy at Serajevo and Austria's Ultimatum to Serbia

June 28, 1914–July 31, 1914
Immediately back of the incidental cause of the World War—that cause being the assassination of the Austrian Crown Prince, the Archduke Francis Ferdinand, and his wife at Serajevo, on June 28, 1914—lay the act of Austria in annexing in 1908, as an additional province of her empire, the Slavonic States, Bosnia and Herzegovina, an act contrary to the Berlin Treaty of 1878, which concluded the Russo-Turkish war. Protests were made by some of the Powers at the time of the annexation, but these were disregarded, or withdrawn. Serbia, the state most concerned, under pressure that made her powerless to protest further, directed her minister at Vienna, in March, 1909, to declare that “following the councils of the Powers,” she bound herself to “cease the attitude of protest and resistance which she had assumed,” and to “change the direction of her present policies toward Austria-Hungary, and, in future to live with the latter in friendly and neighborly relations.” Serbia's humiliation, as here exprest, was called “the price of European peace” at that time—but it meant peace for a time only. After the second Balkan War of 1913, by which Serbia nearly doubled her territory, Austria-Hungary saw a necessity for watching Serbia keenly. Serbia, naturally elated by her military successes, had been careful to avoid “knocking the chip off the shoulder” of her powerful neighbor. If traps were being laid for her Serbia was careful not to fall into them. Austria's occasion for striking at her finally came when the Archduke and his wife were assassinated in June, 1914.
