THE QUEEN FORGIvEs HIM.
Prince Alexander Acquired Her Hatred for
Jiiting Her Granddaughter.


MarQuise De Fontenoy.
The reconciliation between Queen VIc-
toria and Count Hartenau. better known
as Prince Alexander of Battenberg, which
took place on the day previous to the de-
parture of her Majesty from Florence, was
arranged by his sister. the Countess of
Erbach- Scho6n berg. and was rendered pos
sible by the separation of the Prince from
his actress wife.
Hitherto the Queen has manifested so
much irritation toward him that she would
not even permit his name to be pronounced
in her presence, nor any of his photographs
to be placed where she might per-
ceive them. feeling herself grossly in
suited by the manner In which he had
Tilted her granddaughter. Princess Victoria
for their wedding at Windsor. after she
had. with the greatest difficulty and trou-
BILE, succeeded In removing what appeared
at one time to be insurmountable obstacles
to the union.
Prince Alexander was at one time q very
great favorite of the Queen. and IL wss
partly through his influence that his
younger brother. Henry, was able TO secure
the hand of Princess Beatrice. of Great
Britain. and so fond was the Queen of the
soldierly ruler or Bulgaria that she even
went SO far as to wear at several court
functions the insignia of the Bulgarian Or
der which he had founded.
Ipresume that now that he has definitely
ont loose from his beautiful and plebeian-
born wife she vas the daughter OF O valet
and o cook, In consequence of her extrav-
aRance and her pretentiousness. he will re-
gain altogether the favor OF Queen Vic
torin. who has q small woman's fcndness
for very tall and good looking men.

WAS ATLANTIS AMERICA?
Sir Daniel Wilson Believes This Contin
Was known to the Egyptians

Sir Daniel Wilson Believes This Continent
Was Known to the Egyptians
Milwaukee Journal
lgnauus Donnelly finds q supporter Of
his Atlantis theory In Sir Daniel Wilson,
president of the University of Toronto,
who declares. after a great deal of search,
that the lost Atlantis was not myth but
that it was really the continent Of America
He accounts for its disappearance from
view in q different way, but that Is merely
incidental. Donnelly's theory was that
the land was submerged by some great
volcanic upheaval. and that from those
who escaped TO the continents of Europe
and Asia came the tradition of the deluge.
Sir Daniel rejects this explanation as be-
ing disproved by the fact that there
are no traces Of such Volcano action
either on the continent or in the ocean
bed. He believes that the ancient
Egyptians. the most progressive and al.
venturous people of ancient times. discov-
cred the continent but that In the decline
both of their learning and power it became
lost to view. and existed at the time our
knowledge OF Egypt begins merely as a
shadowy tradition. 1t is his opinion
that traces of the Egg ptians of those
days are TO be sought in the ruined cities of
Central America, whose origin has never
been determined, OF even been made the
basis of any reasonable theory. Such dis
covery would furnish q substantial basis
for the legend of the lost Atlantis. and the
theory invests those wonderful ruins with
q new interest for the antiQuarians.

One of the many very practical things
about our supposedly practical people 10
the incomDrehensible way in which they
allow worthless old wooden houses to be
moved about the streets in the suburban
districts and small cities and country
towns. TO the destruction of fine trees and
the interruption of traffic. In q certain
nice suburban town, which the Listener
might mention if the people there were not
extremely sensitive. an old barn has been
marching through the principal streets for
several days. leaving behind il q trail of
ruin in the shape of great branches which
have been sawed from the elm and maple
trees to let it pass. One large tree one of q
row, was finally cut down to let 1t pass
through on the way 10 q vacant LOT. Teams
passing on the street were compelled TO
take to the concrete sidewalk, which was
badly injured by the wheeling The NOV
ing of the old hulk probably did an amount
OF damage ten times great as it's own
worth. But in the So BIS and small cities
though much money may be spent in plant
ing trees. no account seems ever TO be
taken of their value when there is q Ques-
ton of moving house.

phosphorus is admirably adapted for re-
