The Romance OF q watch.

Rossini's watch. which has recently
been sold at Bologna to rich English.
man whose name is not mentioned,
has a history. In 1924 Charles X pre-
sented the composer with q repeating
watch, studded with diamonds, and
playing two of Rossini's melodies. No
body in Bologna could clean the watch,
20 it was sent in the care of the teno,
Fabiano to Paris, where it was destroy
cd in q fire. Plivee, the matchmaker,
thereupon made a second watch, the ex
act counterpart Of the first, except tina,
the diamonds were false, and Rossini,
who never discovered this pious fraud,
wore the trinIet all his life. On hi.
death it passed to relative, whose sou
has just sold it. 1t is said to contain ar
excellent portrait in enamel Of Rossini
as he was in 1924.

tain peak on the earth's surface, Mount
Tacoma, or Rainier. and carry it with
you for three or four hours. 1t rises di-
rectly from the lido level to a height OF
ii, 444 feet, unhidGen by intervening
ranges or foothills, ard stands squarely
against the sky, the perfection of mag
nifcence, dignity and power. 1t is two
and one-half times as high as Noun:
Washington, and believe the highest
peak IN the world that rises directly
from plain 1t is known to us in the
cast as Mount Rainier and was SO called
in honor Of Admiral Rainier Of the Brit
ish navy, but here they call it Mount
Tacoma, thu old title given by the
Siva ash Indians before the white man
came. The base is covered with a dense
forest of ever living green. Above the
timber line tho snow is white and
smooth and perpetual, and it looks as if
1t were solid block of the purest mar
bic.
Mount Tacoma is just two feet higher
than Mount Shasta, 297 feet higher than
Pixies peak and 400 feet higher than
Gardiner peak. The highest in the
United States, Mount CriIIon, Alas
ka, is over 10000. but an exact meas
urement has never been taken. Mount
st. Elias, Alaska. is Is, Mount
Whitney, California, is 15,OSS, and
Mount Williams, California, is IA, 400
There are several other very beautiful
peaks visible from the railway, irclud-
ing St. Helen. $3.50 feet, the patron
saint Of Portland, around whose head
hangs perpetual halo; Mount Hood,
which is shapely cone, 1l.225 feet,
which was named in honor of Lord
Food Of the British admiralty, and
Mount Baker. 10. 800 feet, christened in
honor of Joseph Baker, one of the lieu
tenants of Peter Puget, who discovered
the sound. Theodore Winthrop has
written lovingly about them, and they
are the subject of the purest and choicest
descriptions that exist in the classic
prose Of Washington Irving, although /
believe he was never nearer them than
his home on the Hudson river, 9, 900
miles away. -Chicago Record.
