! Lovers Leap" near the end of the ex-
plored part of Briggs avenue, presents the
height of sublimity. From point above,
though on a level with the floor OF the
avenue, the visitor looks down upon the
great masses of rock through which the
guide winds with the faint, glimmering
spark of his lamp. Now he Is lost to view,
now he reappears. Again the darkness
shuts about him, until at last he is seen
Tar below like gnome, with FREELY for
attendant. At last. having come to the
bottom of the chasm, he lights torch
and the Jagged sides of the pit stand out
in bold relief, their glistening crystals
scintillating like stars against the gloom
which their own shadows make. Far
above precipice projects from the wall.
That is Lovers Leap,"a grim plateau,
moveless as fate, inaccessible as perfect
happiness on EARTH

parts of the cave. The roof sparkles with
gems which flash back the lanterns light
The floor is crusted with crystals white as

How a Marquis Lives We'll.

Chicago boasts of real live marquis
whose tailor declares she pays his debts
and can have all the credit he wants at
this establishment" Some time ago his
cash gave out and he got place in bar
ber shop. Now he is employed by a mer-
camille firm as an entertainer; that is to
say, whenever a particularly good Gus
toner, or perhaps two, come to town, it is
his duty to escort the visitors from place
to place and show them the sights. The
salary of the marquis is a liberal one, and

Spread of the English Language.

Wonderful, indeed, have been the changes
In the diffusion of various languages since
the beginning of the present century. In
the year 1900 the English speakers num-
bered 2l,OO0,OOO. Today they aggregate
100000. French is used by $4,000, 600
people, German by 7O,00O,OOO, Spanish by
10000, 900, Russian by 10000, 900, Italian by
SO,OOO,OOO and Portuguese by 13,000,0 900.
The English language is now used by
nearly twice as many people as any of the
others, and this relative growth is almost
sure to continue. Ninety years ago French
was the leading tongue of civilization.

THE OLD MADDUx ESTATE.

1t Passes Into the Hands of Real Estate
Dealers and Goes On the Market.
j. T. Dyer and +. T. Kaiser, the real estate
agents, have obtained control of what is known
as the Maddux estate on the Ridge Road, and
offer it for sale. The property is farm CON
tainining l0l acres, and was owned by the
late Capt. W. A. 7. Maddux For a number
of years he lived there in the handsome old
fashioned dwelling which is situated upon it.
Upon his death the property passed into the
hands of his two daughters and son, and
then was transferred to the real estate agents
mentioned. 1t is not their intention to sub
divide the farm but to sell it intact. The
property adjoins and is east Of the Palisades
Of the Potomac subdivision, while adjoining it
on the opposite side is the subdivision known
as Wesley Heights. 1t is quarter of a mile
from the site Of the contemplated Methodist
University, and is about one mile directly
north of Georgetown University. The farm is
in good state Of cultivation, and is improved
by barns, out-houses, etc. The price asked Is
Sl,5OO per acre.

IIaiistorms and Forests.

a curious observation regarding hail
storms has been brought before the
Swiss Geographical society at Geneva
by Herr liniker, the chief forester of
Aargau canton. He maintains that
hailstorms do not occur where there
are forests. and cites the case of n
small chain Of mountains in tho south
Of Aargau. known as the Linden
bergc," which, in their normal state,
arc completely covered with trees
About twenty-five years ago the forest
was felled in two places, leaving wide
gaps across tho valleys and over tho
range, and Immediately aftcrward the
valleys were visited by devastating
hailstorms- Five or six years later the
larger of the two gaps was planted
with frs, and since that time not o
single hailstorIn has been reported in
that portion of the range or In the val
